Carnivorous plant anyone!!

Today has been a brilliant day.

The sun is magnificent and i got a small space of time to sit with my wee Ashlee and show her the joy of just sitting and letting the sun warm you, before the boys jumped in and it turned all rowdy.

So with three kids on my bed wreaking havoc i decided to break out my camera which i had found out has a continuous shoot action on it. Oh what fun. It really brightened my day.

Then i had a very spontaneous visit from my younger brother (he never visits) and we got to chat about creating a mini eco system in my very own backyard, which is something i really wish to do. Chris knows things about plants and such and we got to discussing the fly problem. His suggestion - venus fly traps. And so the search began and i found somewhere that sells them. . . . . right here in Somerville. Wowee was i excited. Somerville of all places, and so i have worded up dad as mother's day is just around the corner.

Chris also hung out with the kids for a good bit of time, which is really fantastic since he very rarely sees them. Ashlee eyed him up for a bit first as he was looking a little unruly and he was an unfamiliar face but she got right into it when they all ventured outside and she could see the boys having such a great time.

All in all a really great day.

And then their was relief

The news today . . . .  the tumour is benign and they got it all in the surgery. Massive feeling of relief as now all that needs to be done is recovery from having a surgeon cut into his head!!

Sorrow filled our home today. We found out a beautiful friend has a tumour on his brain.

Staying positive is imperitive i know, but it is a sad time when all you can do is sit and wait for news. Sit and wait to know whether all will be well, sit and wait to know whether they are coping, sit and wait to find out if there is anything that we can do to help.

Today i am sending out much love and many healing thoughts.

Happy holidays

I am loving where i am taking my life at the moment. I have been trying new things and learning new skills. I finished knitting my first piece of knitting yesterday. It was a blue scarf for my three year old Phoenix. It is not perfect but he has been showing it off with pride all day today. He is such a precious creature, so proud of his mumma.

I got to enjoy the company of some great friends this evening. We sat down to a fantastic feast and really enjoyed each others company. It felt great. All the kids were enjoying themselves too, albeit a little loudly at times. I especially loved that Tyson was here with us. He often misses some of our adventures as he loves to spend time with his dad too.

I have really enjoyed this school holidays. It has been slow paced with just the right amount of mix of spending time with friends and some family. This weekend is going to be big and i am so happy that we have Tuesday to recover and regroup before we have to get back into school. Still wishing that i could homeschool my beautiful babes. . . it may happen yet. . . but not foreseeing it in the very near future. It is so much more peaceful when we do not have to worry about hurrying out the door to get to school.

Few and far between

My blog's are few and far between. I find it hard to know what to write about. I love to read other people's blog's.
Many things going on in my life at the moment. Making some big life changes, hoping that they work just the way i imagine them. It is an exciting time for my family as well as a little stressfull and intense. But loving it.
