Peppermint fun!!
sooooo have you seen Miss Mint's new site??? And she is finally revealing herself! squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I love her in case you haven't worked that out by now :D:D:D
So we've already broken the store :( and there are competitions going!! Oh no. I had to use stuff from my already overloaded Peppermint Creative stash! Oh the horror! I wanna spend money and I can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.
So here is my little entry. If you want to take up the challenge as well then take a look HERE.
I also did another for the totally RAD actions competition as well. But that is of boring old me so I am not posting hehe. Aren't my kids the most gorgeous things ever!!! (after your own of course)
Well I have been super duper busy!! It's school holidays here. And guess what? SICKNESS strikes AGAIN :( crikey has there been a week without a sick kid in this house??? Deacon came home from school Friday and slept until lunch time Saturday. He even missed out on his cousin's 2ND birthday. Jason & Kaylee went while we stayed home. Now Kaylee has been sick all day. UGH it is never ending.
Yesterday we had a day outside and went to fly our kites. Where is Dora the explorer? Ask the pilot of the jet she probably hit on her way up into space...cos that's where she was headed. I have no idea where she ended up because I had a bawling 2 year old to drag home devastated after losing her kite :(
So we went and rode bikes on the netball courts and made daisy chains.
Deacon is a whiz at Lego! He's building it on his own now. Following instructions etc...Jason paid waaaaay too much for the hardest leg ever released. The Millennium Falcon. A whopping 5000 pieces and made for 16 years +. Well guess what? Our 6 year old has almost completed it in a week :( Yeah THAT was totally worth the money...NOT! We are going to send in the photos of him building it to LEGO. Maybe they'll send him something :D who knows. Oh and we did NOT pay $1000 either gee whiz!!! We got it off ebay, crikey I had no clue it was worth that much!!! I still think we paid too much at 1/2 that price.
And lastly. We had a death in the family :( Chippers the baby rooster died on Saturday. Deacon incubated him at school and bought him home to keep. I have no idea why but he just carked it on Saturday morning. I tried everything to keep him but he didn't pull through. R.I.P Chippers.

Australian Torism Funny
I just got this in an email, I had to laugh.
Australian Tourism
These were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual
responses by the website officials.
Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (UK)
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.
Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)
A: Depends how much you've been drinking.
Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.
Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)
A: What did your last slave die of?
Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia ? (USA)
A: Africa is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Australia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not ... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.
Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)
A: Austria is that quaint little country bordering Germany, which is ... oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.
Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany)
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is illegal.
Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA)
A: Rattlesnakes live in America which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.
Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)
A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.
Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.
Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy)
A: Yes, gay night clubs.
Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)
A: Only at Christmas.
Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.

The Spaghetti Incident
Sorry I couldn't resist a Guns n Roses reference lol.
Well a few things to catch up on. The Spaghetti Incident? Well Monday night Kaylee kept sneezing and rubbing her nose at dinner time, usually a sign of someone shoving something up their nose (Deacon & a bead comes to mind). Anyway we checked and checked and couldn't see anything. So we left it to see and in a few mins she got over it. So anyway yesterday morning Kaylee comes into the bathroom and sneezes....out out pops a 2" long piece of fettuccine!!! I don't think she shoved it up there, I think she sneezed or coughed while eating and it probably got blown up there??? Crazy!!
And now Deacon has the CHICKEN POX!!! All over. He was last in his class to get it and I hoped he'd mised it. Kaylee shouldn't get it because she has been vaccinated, but Deacon missed out on getting his CP needle.
We also had dress up day at school, I'll post some photo's later today. Deacon was Harry Potter and SO proud!! He still wears his cape lol. He was the only Harry Potter too and all the teachers LOVED his choice of book character.
Back later....I am off to Ballarat!! And buying a treadmill yay!! Starting on the weightloss bandwagon yet again. I've gained 5 kilos this year :(

Kaylee's new haircut (waaaaah)
OK this is cut #3 in a fortnight :( First time was at the side. Last week was the back with blunt toenail scissors! And tonight was a doozy! She got the paper scissors from the drawer and snuck into the lounge room while we were doing Deacon's reader for school and went CHOP!!
Take a squiz.
Before:
After:
Worst part is we are having family photos on Saturday :( I am just so upset it is making me laugh. So silly. It's only hair...but she looks like she has a mullet!!! It's so gross.
And here are some snaps from Deacon's party on Saturday. It was so crazy I hardly had time to even take any photos:( While I absolutely LOVE my canon rebel...I find I take less photos since we got it. The old one was always just sitting at my desk handy. But this one has to be put away in its case and is a pain to get out, add a lens and go.
Wednesday night at home:

Lazy Sunday
Well today is definitely REST DAY!
Yesterday was madness! Sooo many kids running around & screaming. But Deacon had fun and that is the point. The jumping castle was a major hit and luckily it held off raining until the party was over.
He got heaps of lego which is what he is into, and even Star Wars lego! His 2 favourite things :)
I'll post all of the photos tonight. I haven't even looked at them yet. All day has been clean up & recovery day. Too many lollies, too much chocolate! And I didn't even get a piece of birthday cake! bummer it looked soooo yummy too.

After an amazing miracle Mitchell survived the accident and is now in the ICU at the Royal Hobart Hostpital on a very longroad to recovery with his parents, Michelle & Rodney by his side every minute.
They are 5 hours away from home and not able to work for quite some time

Happy Birthday Deacon!!!
My little man is 6 today! yay but also boo hoo. My baby is growing up too fast.
We got a great deal on a Nintendo DS from ebay and he LOVED it! He also got some Lego, play doh, a remote control car & some Star Wars gear. He took a chocolate frog for each kid in the class today too.
Saturday is his party. We invited some kids from his class and he is so excited. Last year we didn't do a 'party' and I haven't heard the end of it. All he wants is a pinata too...so I have to organise that still.
At the trivia night the other week we won 4 hours hire of a full size jumping castle, so it's coming on Saturday too! I think the kids will all freak out!
I'll post some photos tomorrow. We had ice cream cake after dinner, but the REAL cake is Saturday. Mud cake, chocolate frosting, LOADS of lollies in the middle and malt sticks around the edge. This is what the little man has requested lol.

Big girl bed night #3
Well maybe all the pooping pooped her out? But night #3 was pretty successful. She slept till 4am. Came in for a cuddle & a bot. Went back for 10 mins, came in for a cuddle. Then went back until 8am. So I can handle nights like that! I just can't handle more poop stories lol. Thanks for making have a laugh, good to know we all have yucky situations like that now & again. I am just glad neither of mine have been poop eaters...I know kids who do that.....gross!!
Well we are off to Ballarat. I am having a well needed haircut! My treat. I am even thinking of a whole new style. We'll see and I promise a photo if I do. Tomorrow is hair colour day, too many greys! It's exactly a week since Paige was born and I haven't even taken the photo's off the camera! So bad.
I am also going online shopping tonight and buying some Miss Mint goodies, and have a scrap. I haven't been shopping there since Valentines day. So my treat tonight.

A very smelly situation...yuck!
poo...that's right POO!
UGH I had just bathed the kids and they were all ready for bed. I came in from the laundry and Kaylee was bottomless (not an uncommon occurrence) and I noticed marks on her legs like big bruises. As I got closer I realised they were brown...and very smelly. OMG she had just had a poo on the floor, trampled it all over the carpet! And smeared it all over her body. I had no idea where to even start, Jason is at work. So we managed to take bath #2 for the day and then clean up the mess. I feel so gross and have sprayed every surface I can find. I'll have to get the carpet cleaners in to give the carpets a good clean. This is so disgusting! She has never done anything like this. And I have heard so many gross poo stories from friends before and always loved that I hadn't had to deal with a poo incident. Deacon never ever did this!
Well night #2 in the big bed wasn't so successful. About 3am I hear a little voice beside the bed "muuuuummmmmy" so she came in for a little cuddle and back to her bed. 10 mins later I can feel something ticking me on the back! So back to bed. Another 10 mins later she is climbing up onto Deacon's bed to wake him up. So this time she had to go into the cot which made her very upset, but at least we managed to get some sleep. So tonight is #3. Here's hoping.
Now I need a shower....ugh. Soooooo gross.

Excuse the mess. I am in the process of making a design blog and this will become personal posts only. I am cleaning up and moving around. So if it looks strange that is why! lol. Flergalicious
Kaylee slept in her big girl bed all night! yay.We are on night 2. So far I've been in twice, so I hope she settles down now. Last night she slept from 7.30 till 8am!! All in the big bed. Didn't even fall out. What a big girl.
