Connor's Swimming Carnival..

Last Thursday Connor went to his first school swimming carnival.. Unfortunately I had to go to playgroup but Greg went along and took some pics for me.

It was a day of mixed feelings for us. We were so proud of Connor.. he came second in his 15m Kickboard Race.. Just behind Lachlan.. who as you can see was very pleased..lol

And Connor was so proud of his ribbon..

But then we were very disappointed. We both told Connor he could take $2 to buy an ice cream at the pool. When Greg turned up.. just in time for Connor's first race he was no where to be seen.. He missed it.. due to the fact he was lined up at the kiosk.. again.. he had taken his whole wallet to the pool.. and spent nearly $20-. Greg was furious.. and of course Connor was devastated when he found out that he had missed a race..Hopefully it might teach him for next time.. that and the fact that we have now confiscated his wallet..

Declan was also very proud of himself on Saturday.. He actually started swinging on the swing without help for the first time.. No more pushing with his feet on the ground.. no more asking for help.. lol.. he said to me.. ' Mum this is great.. I can swing all by myself".. which is something I have been trying to convince him of for the last year or two..lol..

These boys go nuts on those swings.. Brodie is really starting to scare me..lol.

Well it was a huge weekend last weekend.. Greg has brought himself a new set of golf clubs.. and we have a little deal going.. He gets to go and play golf on Saturday.. and I get the day to myself on Sunday.. not every week.. but hey I will take what I can get..lol.. It was wonderful to have a day of hiding in my craft room and just doing what I wanted to do.. didn't particularly achieve anything..lol.. but a half finished layout.. but gee I felt like a new woman.. and then I spent the arvo at Rach's Clothing Party.. Coffee, chatting... shopping.. it was fabulous.



Meanwhile Greg took the boys for a haircut.. I so have to get pics.. Brodes hair is sooo short.. then he took them to the movies.. yup all of them..lol..to see Up in 3D.. and then they had a birthday party at the Rockpool.. And no I didn't plan it that way..lol.. it was just one of those weekends..lol

He said the boys were pretty good at the movie. Even Brodie, and they all said they loved it so that was good. It was a reward for them having earnt enough points from actually getting their day to day jobs done..lol..



Greg has been away again this week.. Won't be back till tomorrow arvo.. so the boys are missing him.. He has been away so much lately. Brodie goes looking for him every morning..



Umm.. and the wonderful Rach came over to help me do a bit more organising around this house too.. She is sooo good at helping me to declutter..lol.. So all we have left is to clear out the boys Toys.. woohoo.. then I can start doing cupboards etc.. I am getting there..lol.. very slooowly!



Ok .. I am tired and I think I am actually going to go to bed early tonight.. Yup.. before 12 is early for me..lol..

Nite all xx

Connor's First Filling

Well Connor had to go to the School dentist today to get his first filling..He has two to get done.. I was really surprised as we are quite strict on teeth brushing around here.. oh well I guess these things happen. They had also explained to us that the enamel on some of his teethe hasn't formed properly.. probably due to illness when he was little.. so we are going ot have to be very careful with them.. If they get too bad they may have to be pulled.. Let's hope that doesn't become an issue.

They popped him in the chair and explained what they were going to do.. then told him if it hurts too much he was to lift his hand and they would stop asap. They just started.. had barely touched him when the hand went up. When he was asked what was wrong his answer was 'It's annoying'. Lmao.. Only Connor.. we explained that annoying was something he had to put up with..lol. Anyway.. he put up with it for a bit longer but then told them it was hurting so we had to get the needle.. He was really quite good. Didn't carry on. I was quite proud of him. Because they gave him the needle they didn't want to do both at once as one was at the top and the other was on the bottom and the whole side of his face would've been numb. But when he was told he would have to come back and get another one he was really good and said ok without complaining.

So really it all went quite well.. better than I expected.. I think I was the worst.. the sound of that drill went straight through me!.. lol.

He is off to his first School Swimming Carnival tomorrow. I can't go as I have to do playgroup but Greg is going to try and get there and get some pics for me. I can't wait till I can pick or choose when I want to go to playgroup.

Anyway.. I am soo happy I am keeping the blog up to date..lol.. slowly getting myself organised..

Hope you are all well..
