Ponies

One last quick post as i just dont think I can blog anymore lol.


On the week end Matilda had a birthday party to attend. They had hired a pony (and its owner lol) to come for the kids to ride. Matilda was so excited. I wasnt sure she would get on as last year she got close to the ponies at the show and then decided not to ride. But no she was happy enough to get on not once but 3 times!!! She also fed the pony (Oliver) a carrot and brushed his hair. It was abig hit at the party and no guesses as to what Matilda wants for her birthday party lol.

The eye and the uniform

Combining posts here since i am so far behind in blogging lol.
First The eye...

A few weeks ago whilst playing tag with a friend matilda got a scratch in the eye. At first I told her it would get better but after a few hours of her being in lot of pain I realised we might need to get it looked at. I took her to an optomotrist. She was so brave as he put drops in and used that big machine thing to examine her eye. He said it was badly scratched and she would be in considerable pain which I could see she was. Anyway we were sent home with an eye patch for her to wear to discourage her rubbing it. Luckily eyes heal very quickly, unluckily they hurt alot whilst healing. Since it hurt so much to open she spent the rest of the day asleep on the couch. the next day she woke up and the eye was 100 % better...thank goodness it was heartbreaking to see her in so much pain.
Princess had to wear a patch too lol.











The uniform...
yesterday whilst at target I noticed Matilda's school uniform for next year was on sale at less than half price. I decided to grab one despite the feeling of sadness that I would soon be the mum of a school kid. When I got home she wanted to try it on ofcorse. She looked so grown up and so almost 5 lol. We took off and put it away till next year, i am just not ready for it yet lol. She is however very excited about starting prep and being a big school kid. i swear just yesterday she was born, where does the time go.

Trains

We recently visted the miniture trains in Moorolbark. Declan absoloutly loves trains and we knew both kids would enjoy the morning out riding some miniture trains. declans eyes lit up and his jaw dropped when he saw the trains and his excitment grew as he realised he was going to ride on. Every time he had his ride and had to get off he would sit there and say 'more nain, more nain' so well at $1.50 a ticket we let him have 3 or 4 rides I lost count. Dwayne took him a few times and even I went for a ride. They were quite fun actually. I am guessing next year if he still ikes trains it will be the place to go for his 3rd birthday. Such a fun and inexpensive day. I think Matilda's kinder christmas break up is there too. She will love that as she really did enjoy the trains too.



I have been looking at getting Declan a train table for his train tarcks, they are quite expensive though. So I had the idea of turning an old coffee table into one for him. I sanded it back and with some paint came up with a little scene for his trains to ride on. Looks cute. I liked it so much I made another out of mdf for the kids litttle people stuff.

Update...finally

Well I thought it was probably about time I updated the old blog spot. Just because i last blogged in may I dont know what the rsuh is lol.
So where do I start. I guess with Declan and I celebrating our birthdays in June. June 1 saw me turn the big 31, ok so 31 is not a big birthday but its definitly old. Declan my baby boy turned 2!! on June 3. I dont know where those 2 years have gone.WE had a party for him at mums house with all his little friends and I made him a Bob the builder cake. He had a great day and got very spoilt. Recived lots of bob toys and other bob items. His eyes just light up when he see's bob the builder on something. We had a pinata and pin the tool on Bob. The weahter held out and the kids played outside which was good.





He had his 2 year check up at the health center and is developing and growing well. Weight was 11.8kilos and height 85.3cm. He wasnt saying alot of words back then but in the last few eeks has really started to talk alot more. He is even attmepting 2 - 3 word sentences. He Knows exactly how to annoy Matilda too but i know she loves him lol. They play well togther alot of the time but like all siblings have their moments.
matilda is doing well. Still loves kinder, dancing and swimming. She attends ready for school program at Manchester primrary once a month to get her ready for next year. I am still in denial i think that she actually starts school next year. i am so relieved thought that we have chosen such a loverly school and matilda is very happy with her kinder friends that will be going with her. She will miss emily and ethan but hopefully this is the start of many new frinedships.

Anyway will add some photos and keep blogging to make up for the months i have missed.
