May 18 to 24

• Up early for school photos, nothing NICE to wear, grrrr.
• Darren attacked at work.
• SICK day just needed for rest, I was feeling off.
• Shopped lots and got a new pandora bead and it cleaned....yummy!!!!!
• 9 weeks pregnant and to bed at 9pm on a friday night.
• Lucas' 3rd birthday at the play centre, WHAT a cool cake. Poor Max spent the day chasing Lucas around as he had tooo much to do, left the place crying as he wanted to see his friend more and see his pressies.
• A nice afternoon bike riding around Poppy's street. A proud moment as Max rode up and down a footpath for the first time.

things you say

Yes you talk a lot and make me laugh LOTS

Last week you were devastated when the pedal fell off your bike and you asked me to fix it, I said I couldn't and you would have to wait for daddy. You persisted and did it. I was proud of you and told you that you were clever. You nodded and screamed
"Yes I did it, I am a tool like daddy!!!! YAY"

Yesterday you told me "I am going to crack you like an egg and eat you up"

You always ask about Christmas and last week said
"Mum get all the Christmas stuff down and make it Christmas again. I like Christmas, no I LOVE it and I want it NOW".

a catch up

thanks to all my wonderful blog friends for your congrats and kind words....


A layout....done a few weeks ago YES, but I plan on getting back into scrapbooking as soon as I have to stop going to bed at 9.30 pm.

My buddy Kylie and I have been busy organising a retreat at the beautiful Long Point, I have been meaning to post here about it forever....our small retreat of 15 mates grew and grew and we had to find a bigger venue......there are about 2-3 spaces left. Roll on July 3-5 when 30 ladies take over the hall and party (and scrap too) with the roar of the open fire and over 500 songs on the ipod....so if you want to join us be quick......I will email you more details. (belindamax@hotmail.com).

off to catch some more z's

due december 25th!!!!!!!!!

well yes after lots of stress, blood tests, doctors, vitamins, acupuncture, tears and 22 months of TRYING we GOT one!!!!

baby number 2 is due dec 25 !!!!! Santa please bring him or her early I would not cope if they were born and Westfields was shut so I could not get a Santa photo.....funnily enough earlier this year I dreamt that I walked my baby down from South West Private to get a Santa photo......will more dreams be coming true????

It is still early days about 8.5 weeks but I am feeling sick, tired and gained about 5 kilos!!!!

May 11-17

NAPLAN testing kept us busy at school and it was a HARD test...even I had to sit down and THINK about some year 5 maths questions as they were designed to sort the super bright from the bright!!!!


Then the wonderful Thursday rolled around and I had my ultrasound, a quick shop and then met up with a friend from swimming at TIC TOCKS. Ashleigh and Max had the place to themselves and had a ball (sadly I forgot my camera). It was wonderful to see them play for hours as they only know each from swimming lessons, its great when kids just click.


On SATURDAY 5 staff members from my school headed down to Wollongong Uni to a Mathematics conference...May 16 was a very popular day, we had sooooo many invites and things to do on that day, sadly we had to miss the preschool working bee and 2 other parties. BUT after a LONG day learning lots about Maths MORE BPS crew headed into the city for Karen's hens night, fun was had by all of course and I loved my mocktails YUM......I think I drove over 300 kms in one day and by 12.30am I was sooo ready for 20 hours sleep.



Once again Sunday was no day of rest, shopping, cleaning and washing.......boy i was tired.

May 4-10

Dragged my tired bottom out of bed to work a 4 day week!

Max made himself sick at preschool by refusing to wee on the toilet. He had himself so worked up by the time I got there!!! So much for a nice afternoon pick up and a shop.....!!!!

Darren finally went to the DR about his ankle and after an hour and a half wait he did not take the x-ray back in - vowing to read it himself, no real prognosis as yet. He still has a slight limp so I am thinking Dr Darren still has problems. Max is concerned it might fall off (me too Max).

A nice mothers day assembly at school again.....well done Narelle. In true BPS style we ran around like chooks with our heads cut off to get everything to work....but I guess we are supper mums after all, we can do anything!!!!!!

I worked extremely hard on Saturday to finally iron 4 baskets of ironing. Then I went and had a much deserved scrap shop.

I had a good mothers day, I was spoilt with pressies, I loved my first ever "stall" pressie from Max.

happy Mothers' day to all

an oldie but a goodie!!!!

"You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when your older and your grown, can't wait 'till you have a couple little children of your own...... you will thank me for my counsel, i gave you so willingly but right now I'll thank you not to roll your eyes at me"!!!!!

April 27 to May 3

back to work. 2 days of staff development and most importantly 2 days of yummy lunches and lots of laughs.

Max loved going back to preschool but I was really sad as for 4 weeks my mornings allowed me to drop him off. I miss walking into his pre-school.....it is just the most fantastic place, I might hold him back from school to keep him there for an extra year!!!!lol

darren STILL has not been to the DR about his ankle. Over worked and exhausted....the joys of a business in these global times.

My day off flew by....coffee and a shop with Karen, some procrastinating in front of the computer, a little bit of cleaning, swimming lessons and BANG it was over. Never got to tackle the 3 baskets of ironing I STILL HAVE!!!!!!

A nice catch up with Veronika and the kids on Saturday ....naughty me forgot my camera. shame as we went to Lake Parramatta. A quick catch up with Joan at the scraproom too....gee I miss the fun we had in the scraproom on those Friday nights!!!!!

cleaning and boring stuff ended the week.

Max on his first day back at Pre School for term 2.
