38 weeks and....nesting!

I am not really in the mood for blogging tonight.  In all honesty all I want to do is blob on the couch, eat chocolate, have a massage, drink a choc/flake crushers milkshake from KFC and not have my feet swell so much they itch!  I have never actually had one of those milkshakes from KFC but I am pretty sure I would love it because they look sooooooo good.  I have even tried to talk my husband in to going into town to get one for me. But I can't sell an $8 dollar trip (petrol) for a $2 milkshake!  Darn it!!  And yes I do know that that milkshake is highly unhealthy but hey........my feet itch here!!

Over the past few days "I" have been nesting. I say 'I' like that because in reality I have had the list and my family is nesting for me.  Its called the 'delegation en mass', a bonus of having a large family!  I have the list and they have the muscle power and youthful energy.
(Oh I probably should mention that they were bribed with pizza and the Xbox)

The bathroom and the kitchen were on the days agenda because you know that one simply cannot give birth with an untidy bathroom cupboard, fly poo around the windows or messy plate cupboard!

The steam cleaner comes in super handy in times like these. 

The problem is is that EVERYONE wants to have a go! 

Just in case you were thinking that I didn't pull my weight, I did.  All that day I kept the normal household duties ticking along with things like baking morning tea, washing and folding it etc.

However I did also step up the next day and manage to sort out my entire room of donated goods for 'Loving Arms'. It took me all day and I could barely walk afterwards and my feet were incredibly itchy but I finished and I now have my room back. Oh my husband is extra pleased about that too. We no longer have to share our space with, step around and over baby baths, boxes of nappies, car seats and containers of clothes.  I can now open my side of the wardrobe without having to haul things out of the way.

Check out the progress!!

So here I am after my huge day yesterday you can understand why I am too tired to be doing anything extra. You wouldn't think that I had an hour and half sleep today.

So there you have it, short and sweet tonight.  We have one more week of the school holidays and I am really hoping the weather will improve, I want to get out and do something!!!

  How has the weather been at your house?

Talk soon xxx

On a chilly winter morning

Its really cold here!  And I mean really cold.  Its been snowing for crying out loud!  We never get snow.  I have wished we got snow and now we have.  It could of been a decent amount though, I couldn't even take any photos of it and when all of a sudden you scream out "YOU GUYS ITS SNOWING!" and they all come running from four corners of the house, you kind of want them to be amazed and excited, not disappointed that they can't make snow men.  Its kind of let down seeing that they have never seen snow before.  Oh well a trip to the snow is on the agenda sometime soon anyway.

So some of us stayed inside where its warm and did sensible winter day activities!

While others of us did summer day stuff!

  Actually the boys randomly jumped in our pool the other day (and its not even clean) and then they put their togs on and squirted each other with the hose.  Clearly they didn't get the memo to say its the MIDDLE of winter!  Crazy children. They have their fathers genes most definately!  Why else would they run around outside with no shoes on til their feet turn purple?


So I am wrapped up here in my Grandma-blanket (literally my Grandma did crochet it) with the fire blazing and I am still chilly.

I am so looking forward to spring cos I know that summer is just round the corner!  

With spring comes spring cleaning though but this year I am armed and ready!  Actually I have a confession to make. I BOUGHT something off the infomercials!!!  Ok Ok I know, its so the stereotype of housewives that they sit in their dressing gowns all day and watch Infomercial and Soap Operas.  Anyway I bought a Portable Steam Shark Mop,  so I can steam all the blasted FLY POO off my walls and boy does it work a treat! And considering the amount of poo I have on my walls and the huge number of walls I have then its well worth it.  Don't tell anyone but Jamie has been steam cleaning walls too!  Its loads of fun!  The only down-side there is, is that I don't really have an excuse anymore for not having a clean house.  Hmmmm
