We've been doing some odd jobs around the house over the past week or so.  With a new baby on the way, there's been some reshuffling of "stuff" around the house.  No longer will we have a spare room, so the wardrobes and cupboard space needs to be revamped and reorganised.  We found that the big empty spaces at the tops of our wardrobes just weren't getting used effectively, so Hubby has been on many a trip to Bunnings to buy sheets of melamine and making new shelves. 

All this cutting of melamine has been done around Dylan's afternoon naps, and the never ending series of thunderstorms we've had lately, so he usually has a bit of an audience.  Hubby is much more careful these days with regards to his hearing, so he's always wearing his earmuffs doing these noisy tasks.  Of course Dylan just loves to copy us, and luckily one of his Christmas presents this year was the cutest little pair of earmuffs.  So while we were busy working around the house, Dylan decided he'd "help" out by mowing the lawn for us.  He ran off inside to grab his earmuffs, then dragged his little bubble mower out of the garage.  A quick request for more bubble solution and he was off, happy as larry!  By the end of it he was so chuffed he'd been a good helping boy by mowing the lawn, wearing his earmuffs, just like Daddy.

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
