Two Front Teeth, Frilly Dresses, Days off Work and Birthday Money

Dallins two front teeth have popped up over the past week or so. I felt for the poor boy since its bad enough coping with getting one let alone two. Atleast noone can say I havnt suffered along with him since sometimes he thinks its a good idea to have a good hard bite while Im breastfeeding him. Ouchies for sure! I used to moan when his gums would get a good grip, now add two little rough edged teeth to it and you've got one screaming mum and a cheeky smiley faced monkey, hahaha. Im sure he knows that biting me hurts because as soon as I dig my finger in there to break free, he's got a huge smile on his face, nnnnnaughty boy! And ontop of his teeth he's got the flu, double boo. The upside is that he doesnt grizzle his way through the whole thing, that would be stinkies.

As for miss Ash bash, she's another one with the flu. She doesnt like wearing layers of clothes as it is so its been a struggle trying to keep her warm. Yes our Ash likes summer dresses she can twirl around in, a real girly girl. Of course I'm the one who gets into trouble whenever my own mother comes around and catches her parading around in a frilly dress like a fairy princess, as if I havnt tried all morning to keep her snuggled up in winter woolies. Kids will be kids, they dont feel the cold and just want to play and have fun.

Of course my dear husband didnt want to miss out on the indoor fun so he went ahead and got himself the flu so he could spend some time at home. I appreciate that our sniffles and sneezes have given us the chance be at home together to hug the fire and sit around like old people in a retirement home (minus the tapioca pud and bingo hahaha).

All this being stuck at home has given me time to think of what I might spend my bday riches on. Clothes? Perhaps. A new and decent haircut? Its about time for another one, but we'll see how I feel. At the risk of sounding desperately housewife-ish, something new for the kitchen???? Dont need to (thanks bro for the slow cooker). I know, something edible for the kids in my Sunday school class? Nah. Its funny coz I know I've spent time thinking of what I would buy if I had money to spare, and now I havnt a clue. I'll probably spend it on the kids. I always feel better when I've added to their wardrobes things they can grow in to. Yes. Thats what it will go towards, if we ever make it outta here alive!!! Da-dummmmmmmmm!
