Happy Birthday Wonder Boy...

My wonder boy is now 10. I had huge mixed emotions about it to be honest..I am so excited about him growing up and discovering new things about life but there is a part of me that was looking at him thinking, how did it happen, it went by so fast and Im certain I missed things, the night before his birthday I was laying in bed thinking, there are things that I dont remember about him being a baby, so many things.. I know a lot of it was because he was so sick, its funny people that have come in to our lives recently or not so recently dont understand the gravity of how sick he was.. the nights that Hunk and I spent anxiously sitting in the hospital room waiting for someone to come in and tell us our worst fear, that indeed it was something life threating, I cannot begin to express our grateful I was that it never came about, it was just a long road to get to where we are today, one we like I said honestly didnt think we would make it this far.
Yet standing before me I have this amazing kid, despite everything he has stood up against and the struggles he has had he truly is amazing to us.. he has just the kindest heart and will always put everyone else before himself, he is thoughtful and loving, always always telling us how much he loves his family and how lucky he is to have a sister who is his friend and a baby brother which he thinks is cool that he can teach things to. He has the personality that just attracts the good in life, and he is so laid back, nothing really upsets him or fazes him (until his sister was being bullied and he really struggled to maintain his own personality in the midst of that). Now I know Im making him out to be the most perfect child in the world, I will be the first to say he isnt, he has his faults like everyone, but he is so damn close to perfect it makes my heart burst...
How incredibly lucky we were Wonder Boy that you chose us to be your parents..
How blessed you have made our lives, because of you I became a better person.
And yes my gorgeous boy I will still require cuddles and I love you's even when you are a teenager..something I dont want to think about right now...Im just getting a handle on the age of 10...

Be still my beating heart

I forgot to mention in my last post that for a few weeks now, well before Christmas, I had an affair on my husband, I betrayed our marriage...I dreamt of another, I lusted after another, and Im in mourning...I now miss him...I miss them...

*sigh* yes along with every other hormone charged girl/woman/teen in the world I have fallen under the Cullen spell....
Ive now finished all the books and am in mourning..I may just go back and start again just to be near them!!!
That is all...return to your normal programming now...

Helloooooo 2009

I survived 2008!! haha no it wasnt really that bad, just the last couple of months!
So its probably about time I updated my poor neglected blog, it's been a while!
I'll do my best to give a run down!
Christmas 2008
The lead up to it was madness, I got sick with tonsillitis again, so that took the better part of 2 weeks to get over and then then fully feel like myself about a month of recovery! It couldnt have happened at a worse time, Kaz and I were busy trying to organised Wicked Princesses and finalise the last of the orders for 2008, lucky I have a fab business partner to take care of things! But it did put me so behind with my shopping and crafting, quite annoying actually!
There were a few little christmas traditions in our house that got put on the back burner for christmas which made me sad but such is life and it was out of my control.

Christmas Day saw us up at 5.30am, yes you read right, 5 freaking 30!! Hunk and I had only got to bed at 2.30, madness I tell you. We are such mean parents and made them wait till a bit later and for lil man to wake up, in the end we woke him at 7 so that they could start opening their presents...yup take a look at this pic, he is soooo pissed off that we woke him!!

but once he figured out that the there were presents he was more into it!!


Santa delivered the goods this year, squeals of delight about their DS's and lil mans bike, was so cute!! Santa was also good to the family this year bringing a Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit Mat..yes I will admit..I have a new addiction haha but in my defence I have lost .7kg from using it!!!
Lunch saw us at my mum and dads for a quiet one, mum, dad, me, hunk, the 3 kids and a dear family friend. Our meal consisted of prwns with dipping sauce, prawn and baby beet salad with lemon aioli dressing, prawn and mango salad, smoked salmon atop cream cheese with chive on top of mini pancakes, they were sooo good, Harrison devoured the salmon off of at least half of them!!!
Nice relaxing afternoon then my sisa and her fiancee and his family came for tea, was loud, chaotic but it was fabulous, just the way christmas should be! I really do love the whole notion of christmas,the togetherness that comes with it.
Couple more pics from the day..






Boxing Day was nice and quiet, friends over for lunch and drinks as well as my sis and BIL and the boys, was good for the kids to have a play and the adults to play the Wii hahaha..
My gorgeous hubby organised a little party for my birthday! few of my girlfriends came over for a lunchtime party with all the party food to boot! fairy cakes, hot dogs, fairy bread, chocolate crackles haha I loved it! was good to see them too.
NYE saw us at my besties house for the night, double celebration, New Years and her birthday! we had a great night, just relaxing and chatting and catching up with friends, bbq for tea and a few drinks, loved it!
New Years Day was my mum's birthday so off to see her for the night and have tea with her and give her presents to her!
It kinda feels like we are just as busy as we were before christmas!!! its quite crazy actually!!
The kids are enjoying the holidays, where we live in the court we are surrounded by kids around the same age as ours, and its so great to see them all out in the court rollerblading or laying on the grass drawing, reminds me of my childhood and summer days, soon as the street lights come on and it starts to darken they come home!
The parents love it too! we sat in one of the driveways yesterday afternoon having a few cold ones, and a platter of cheese and bikkies!!
I actually got some scrapping done too! would you believe it!! 2 of the challenges that Mystical Scrapbooks have running at the moment!!


Hoping to get some more scrapping done today..will see how I go!
Ok Im off, need to get organised. It's my nephews party tonight! so have a few things to do before we go to that...
chat soon
