Happy 40th!

My hubby went and turned 40! How the hell did that happen? I swear we were in our early twenties about 5 minutes ago.  At least he's not fazed by it, and no signs of any mid-life crisis as yet. 

We didn't actually get to spend his birthday with him this year.  He was away with his mates in Queensland drag racing.  At least they won this year, after many years of car troubles.  So that was something to celebrate.  His mates organised a b'day cake and a card and gift for him out in the middle of what I call ""the sticks".  I think he was pretty pleased.

When he finally got home on the Monday we had some balloons blown up and a big sign along one wall staying "Happy 40th Birthday".  Dylan loved the balloons and only now, almost a week later are some of them in danger of us popping them just to be rid of them from under our feet.  I baked a big chocolatey ganache cake decorated with malteasers and a big "40" candle.   It's super rich and I need it gone or thrown out cos I can't bear to look at it. 

We had a few presents all wrapped which Dylan carried out to his Daddy, then proceeded to assist with the unwrapping! 


 
Dylan happily modelled the new backpack that Daddy got! 
As my hubby does tend to have a bit of a sweet tooth for a bit of a laugh we gave him 40 chocolate bars.  All different types, and hopefully none that he wouldn't eat.  It went down well, and had Dylan very excited!





 Here's my boys having a bit of a birthday cuddle!

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem everything

I took these shots a few weeks ago and have been meaning to post some but I just never seem to get around to it.  These were taken one evening straight after Dylan's bath when he clearly had had too much energy!  He ran off from his room before we could get a nappy on him, let alone some pyjamas.  He grabbed his bouncing bull "Brutus" and hopped away giggling and having a great time.  I just love his wet curly hair bouncing up and down!!

Overall not a bad week here. We've had a few outings, been on some walks and a 4th birthday party.  Its been a mostly wet weekend, and the perfect opportunity for cuddles on the lounge with my boys, and a little me time.  I've got the best excuse for some quiet days at home.  Hubby bought me (or was instructed to buy me) the box set of the Offspring TV show on DVD.  I love it! I've gone back to the beginning to watch the early years and see the episodes I missed out on, and to refresh my memory on the ones I saw.  So looking forward to the new season starting in a few weeks! Tristan has been pretty good this past week.  Napping has been reasonable and night times are ok.  He had a few feeding strikes, but I knew he wouldn't starve himself, so I haven't been too worried.  This past week he hit 12 weeks old and I'm noticing his size 000 clothes getting a bit tighter.  I'm sure by this age Dylan was barely into 000!  Tristan has been smiling so much, and I
