september

Well September is almost over for another year .Managed to almost get through the winter with no major sickness but de ja vu hit once again and the last week of the school term found me yet again relegated to bed with another virus grrrrrr. I did push myself the last 2 days and went to work much to my doctors dismay but I survived. The first week of the holidays Anabel and Ollie came for a visit for 4 days . How I ever managed with 5 kids I'll never know I was exhausted by the time I took them home but we did have a lot of fun. Picture of the week Anabel and Grandad playing disney princess remembory (memory) her latest favourite game .All the boys at my house now know how to play . I have been busy getting her a collection of Barbie and Bratz dolls etc so she is super excited that she will have one here and one at home I also got her a pack for Nannas house cause she has nothing to do there. I manged to score 2 sets of disney princess draws in excellent condition for 15 bucks so one will stay here and one for her for home to keep all her things together. We did decide though that the Bratz will stay here Oliver simply loves the feet so we now have a pile of feet on the kitchen bench that need a partner am finding them slowly in every nook and crany. Have scored some great bargins on ebay oztion and gumtree for dolls and accessories for them but some of it goes for ridiculous prices.
Have been shopping up a storm trying to get organised for xmas No surprise to most of you that I love online shopping I hate the shopping centers but have braved it a couple of times to pick up bits and peices. Bought Anabel and Oliver a swingset for xmas over 100 dollars cheaper for a brand new swingset online . They already have it logistically its just easier to give them the big things sooner rather than later and they are loving it.
So to the second week of the holidays I think that my trunk for the end of my bed will be done and I have one cupboard partially stripped one to go and my chairs hopefully as well but the days are ticking and I have a half bred head cold /flu who knows but will see how it goes. Have been washing and sorting all the kids little clothes that now have to be listed before I drown in them . I need a couple more weeks I think............definately taking some long service next year.
Have to find some space in the shed I think that my baby is growing up he no longer wants the lego in his room ....he still loves to make stuff with it just doesn't want it in his room . Not sure whether Noels gonna be too happy with more stuff in the shed though. A friend offered to buy it from me but its a lot of years and a lot of kids worth of lego in those boxes and its sooooooo expensive that I have decided to keep it......after all I m sure in a few years that the grandkids will get as much fun out of it as ours did and do. I'm still kicking myself that I sold all Jeremy's matchbox playsets but hey you can't keep everything. Just need motivation and can't seem to find any........
