It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hooray, it's a boy named Toby Stewart!!!!!!!! From what I've heard, all went as well as labour and birth can be expected..it hurt a bloody lot but she got a fantastic little bundle of boy at the end. Big congrats to Jess, Matt, Jack, and of course Jerry, on the birth of Toby, can't wait to see him and have a snuggle tomorrow. It's enough to make me want another one....almost!

Evil kinevil rides!!

omg.... Caleb is only 2yrs 5months and he's on a bike with training wheels!!!!! That is scary stuff. Adam took him out on the bike this morning as we no longer have a trike for him to ride. It was left in the sun too many times and Adam kicked it out of the way the other day and the wheels cracked off..whoops. Anyway, half an hour later, the little guy was zooming around. Thank goodness for stack hats though as he has come a buster twice and would have definitely done some serious head damage if not the helmet. Unfortunately for Caleb he is riding Hayley's old bike so for now, he will have to be content with a pink one!

More big news.. my cousin Jess's waters broke tonight... yay!!!! She is three weeks early so was a little nervous as her last baby was quite small at just under 3kgs and the birth was a little hairy, so hopefully tonight will be a good night for her!! Will be thinking of you Jess!!!

I wanted to get a few things done today scrapping wise but that didn't happen. Ever the procrastinator, I cleaned up my scrap room, made a card for Greg for his birthday and got out some stuff to start a challenge on sketches oz. I have some great gear from a Designing Memories kit that is perfect, but as usual, I just can't seem to get my act together.

Tomorrow is the big day, I kick off the 8 week challenge with weight watchers. I only really want to lose about 5kg so we'll see how we go. I better go and log in to there to work out what I can eat tomorrow. I'm surprised at actually HOW much I am allowed.

Righto, will stop this drivel right now. oooh I'm getting good at blogging aren't I peoples???

ummm forgot to add on the pic...

Let's see if this works???
you rock

Keeping up to speed :)

Righto.... two days in a row..AMAZING!! I've had a fairly quiet day today, managed to do some scrapping which I'll show you if I can work out how to insert the photo...oh never mind, I've just seen the thing up the top. derrrrrrrr.

I received a RAK from a lovely chick called Cat. She knew I wanted the Love Elsie papers but was trying not to spend money, so she gave me a $10 voucher to spend at 3 Angels Scrapping. How nice is that!!!!!!! I have so enjoyed being a part of the EB scrapgirls forum. They are a very giving and supportive bunch and generally bring a bit of fun and laughter into my day.

So what else did we do today...ummmm. The boys weren't too bad today I guess, just the usual exuberance I guess. Lachie has been playing with his lego again and making the most amazing creations. He came out tonight with a car that had a propellor on the front and some flappy things on the side for wings. That boys sure loves to make stuff, he is lego mad!!!

Hayley has been to a school disco tonight and she came home hyper hyper... that might of been from the lollies and chips and maccas and coke that she ate after the disco... THANKS GREG! So anyway she's in bed now and the house is quiet apart from Adam doing that male flicking thing on the telly. He wonders why I won't watch tv with him...well people this would be it!!!!!

The cat.......... well our cat appears to be in confinement. We knew she went into season but we missed the very beginning and she did manage to spend one night out being promiscuous with the friendly neighbourhood Toms. Oh well, it will be a nice experience for the kids, so long as they don't ask too many questions about the birds and the bees. Not too sure I'm ready to go there yet.

Okay well I'm off to go and start a scraps challenge to make some cards.. I bet I get in my room and it will all seem too hard. I am the worlds biggest procrastinator, it's a wonder I get anything done.

Not a good blogger....obviously.

hmmm well, I knew I wouldn't be the best at this but a thread over at EB has inspired me to update.... so now to fill you in..ummmmmmmmmmmmm.

Not too much has been happening in our little world. Boys have now gone into bunk beds which is lovely but driving me nuts all the same. They have good and bad nights. Tonight was a bad one. Little brats just wouldn't settle, they were going psycho running around the room and just being bad boys.. so like I always do, I bowed out and went for a walk with my neighbour.

We are both desperate to lose some kg's and we know that aint going to happen without exercise. I have been inspired to take control of my eating which is pretty terrible at times by another EB member. She has done a fantastic job of getting herself back into a comfortable weight and most importantly taking care of herself and her body. This is what I need to do. I take care with what my kids eat most of the time, why do I not do this for myself???

So me, being me can't do this on my own so signed up to weight watchers again today. I need structure, guidelines and a goal. Me just being healthy and exercising just won't cut it for me, I need to see it, or in this case track it. Love the new WW online site. Very helpful.

On the scrapping front.. well it seems to be put aside for now. I got some gorgeous Love Elsie papers the other day which I have in front of me with a picture. I am just looking for a sketch to start me off. Love the minimalist look atm, but still have the desire to fill a page, if you know what I mean. I have a great photo to use taken by the super talented Fiona Carson, a local photographer.

Anyway....this is all very blah, blah, blah, but hopefully I'll get better at this and learn how to set up my blog better....including adding links to other blogs I read etc. Until next time...take care.
