Cheeky chops Lilly decided it would be fun to wake a very hungover mum up by pinching, it worked a treat coz I was up in a flash, but wasnt feeling the best thats for sure.
I gave the kids breakfast and tried to rest on the couch, Lill was good I have to admit and laid with me for a good hour while Josh played his Spiderman game.
Lill decided to go and play with Josh and they chased each other round the house playing hide and seek for ages. Then we tried Lilly in a pair of undies to see how she would go as she kept taking her nappy off.
They had their lunch while I sat at the PC, Josh came over and whispered .. Mum look at Lilly shes asleep, I turn to see she had fallen asleep at the dinner table ...

I know your probably thinking what is that on her face? Well its the face paint from day care that wont come off!Lill slept for a good 2 hours and still had her undies on, I was a bit worried she would wet but to my suprise she was dry when she woke!
As soon as I said we're going to see Aunty Nikki she got a bit excited and we had to put a nappy back on, lol.
All the kids played outside the whole time I was at Nicoles and were'nt happy when it was time to go, Bella wanted to stay the night so that made leaving a little easier. I gave Lill a shower and all the paint finally came off, she wasnt impressed when I had to scrub and scrub with the face washer, then she refused to get out, kept closing the door and saying bye. I turned the taps off and woooo did she holler.
The kids had spaghetti for dinner and then it was off to their rooms for some play time.
Lilly had put herself to bed again and was sounders by 8.30.

I had Lill dressed and ready for day care by 8am, we dropped Josh off first.
Lill was keen to get inside and play with the kids today and didnt even want to say goodbye to me.
I picked her up at 4.30 and she seemed to be in a great mood, she had face paint on in the theme of Sydney swans and looked so cute.
We then went to get Josh and stopped in at Brennas on the way home, it didnt take long before she turned into miss cheeky chops and was jumping on Brennas furniture.
We headed home, Lill and Josh played together for a bit while I got ready for my night out. When I got out of the bathroom I noticed how quiet it was and soon realised why when I looked in her room as she had put herself to bed, she must of had a big day at the child care centre.

Lilly the screamer

Lill enjoyed staying home for the morning while lazing about with me.
When Nicole and Bella popped in she played happily with Bella for a while, as they were leaving our neighbours popped in to see the garden and Lill was running around like mad and showing off.
We went shopping, Lill had a huge hissy fit in the main street and embaressed the begeebers out of me, while I did my grocery shop Lill fell asleep in the trolley, she stayed asleep through me getting the vegies at the market garden, didnt wake when boistrous Josh got in the car and slept through the whole visit at Aunty Mels.
She finally woke up when we got to Nan and Poppys but was ever so moody and wasnt interested in the Hello Kitty showbag Nana had got for her so I decided not to stay for long and we headed home.
At home she ended up having 2 time outs and the last one seemed to have done the trick as she was back to her cheery self, thank goodness.
Lill ate most of her dinner and played with Josh but didnt go to bed till 9pm!

Well Lill and Josh were running around like mad by the time I got up from my wonderful sleep in. Josh had even made Lill breakfast, I bet she would love for Josh to make her breakfast everyday as he made, chocolate spread on toast!
We enjoyed lazing about in our pj's for the morning and was nice not to have to go out in the car but to all stay at home.
Lill played with her toys and once that become boring for her we got changed in our outside/play clothes and headed for outside.
The kids throughly enjoyed digging in the dirt and making a total mess of the back garden until Lill got dirt in her eyes and kept making it worse byrolling in the dirt and rubbing her eyes. Within no time it was lunch so we headed inside again for yoghurt and sandwiches, Josh spotted the marshmellows and they both devoured them before I could even grab one.
Since we were all dirty I thought we might as well make most of the weather and headed outdoors again. Lill was quite good at occupying herself with her slide and kicking the ball around, then the yawns kicked in so I thought I would try Lill for an arvo nap but she really didnt want to go to bed instead she opted for the couch and amazingly slept there for 2 hours, she was even snoring!

Once she was up it was straight for the shower, she is so cute when she shuts the shower door, waves and says 'Bye mum' 10mins later out comes a gorgeous clean girl and I popped her into herpj's all ready for dinner.
Fish fingers and chips for dinner and all eaten within minutes.
Nicole and Bella dropped in again as they had bought show bags for the kids, Lill's was a Dora the explorer bag and she was wrapped!

The kids run amok for the rest of the evening, chasing the poor cat, Lill drew texta all over herself and didnt get to bed until 11pm!

Lilly was still in the bath when I went to pick the kids up from Nicole's this morning so I let her be while I dropped Josh off at his Pirate day activities.
When I returned Nicole had her dressed and looking gorgeous.
We all decided to go to K-Mart to see if they had any school clothes, they had none as per usual, so I ended up buying Lilly the most adorable Dorothy the dinosaur outfit and some new shoes. She really enjoyed being pushed around in Bella's stroller and also scoffing a hot dog for lunch. When we returned to Nicoles she really started to become grumpy and I thought it was time for her to go home for a nap, which of course she didnt want to have a bar of, she also decided it would be fun to cover herself in nappy cream, which I had only bought a few days ago! Within a half hour after that she had passed out.
She didnt like being woke up as we had to go and get Josh and she remained grumpy for the rest of the day and night.
Lill also didnt like her dinner much and picked all the rice off her food before she even attempted putting it near her mouth, lol.
Aunty Nikki and Bella came over and she continued to sook and drop that bottom lip, I was amazed she didnt trip over it, such a pout!
After she had her milk I popped her in her pj's and she went to bed quite well, she got up a few times but was sound asleep by 8.30.

Well a mad dash this morning to try and get Lilly ready for child care. Was really mad at myself for not double checking the pantry last night as the kids didnt have a good variety for their lunch boxes, that will teach me!
We piled into the car and headed for Josh's school first as he was attending another school holiday activity.
Since Bella stayed over last night she didnt mind tagging along, we then dropped Lilly off next and I headed to Nicoles to drop Bella off.
I collected Lilly from day care and they said she had a great day, painting outside and dancing, although she didnt seem too happy that I was there to get her, Lill made quite a fuss when we had to leave kicking and screaming her famous high pitch scream. This scream continued on even when we got home and I finally gave in to the ignoring technique and had to giver her a time out.
A half hour later of kicking, screaming, throwing and hitting she finally settled down and was eager for her dinner, another of Lillys favourites, sausages and vegies.
Lill refused to have a bath but preffered a shower and was in there for a good 15mins. Out came a squeaky clean girl and once she was dressed had her evening milk, I thought she would have gone straight to bed but she wouldnt have a bar of that especially when Aunty Nikki and Bella came over for another visit. Nicole asked if the kids could go back to her place for the night and within a flash they were packed and off they went.

Well it seems all the sleep Lilly has had has made a huge difference, she was up at the crack of dawn but I coaxed her into bed with me for a sleep in, I mean its sunday and the weather is really bad and we deserve it, lol.
Lilly and I stayed in our pj's and lazed about watching movies and playing on PC for most of the morning. Joshua went to his Nan and Poppy's with his dad so he could record some shows onto the DVD recorder, just gotta love technology. Aunty Nikki and Bella brought Joshua back home which kicked us into gear and we finally got dressed.
We then all went for a walk to see another neighbour of mine named Christina, I met her at Olives lunch party yesterday as she has a place for rent and Aunty Nikki wanted to have a look. Lilly, Josh and Bella loved running around the unit looking in all the cupboards and hiding from us.
We then headed home, Nikki went home and Bella stayed to play for the afternoon, Lilly refused to have her afternoon nap so we just cleaned the house and then made a start on re-decorating the hermie tank. Nicole came to collect Bella and as they were leaving Bella asked if she could come back and stay the night.
We had roast beef for dinner and poor Lilly couldnt keep her eyes open any longer she looked so cute dozing off at the table but as soon as she heard me say ohhh yummo she was up and eagerly awaiting her dinner, she devoured nearly all of it but found it difficult to sit still as Nemo was showing on the TV.
Lill polished her bedtime milk off in no time and when I realised it was too quiet I looked over to find daddy and Lill asleep on the couch, awww how cute.

Lilly still isnt 100% this morning, she wouldnt eat her breakfast and fell straight back asleep after her morning milk drink. Lill slept on the couch until 12pm, and then woosh she was full of beans again!
We headed over to our neighbours for lunch where she seemed to enjoy herself immensly, played with Lea well and ate most of her lunch.
By 3.30 she was fast asleep in my arms and that was my call to get her home for her afternoon sleep.
I decided to get an afternoon nap in and woke to find Lilly next to me on the couch, she seemed quite happy but had a slight temperature. I gave her as much water and juice as she liked and after dinner she had fallen asleep on the couch again, Im assuming its a tummy bug or a cold/flu kicking in but if she isnt better by tomorrow its off to the doctors.

Ran out of steam

Lill was up and at it around 8am this morning. I did a good job of sleeping in and therefore Lill was late for her day care. She seemed great when I dropped her off but when I went to pick her up at 4.30pm she looked a little tired and sooky.
She wanted to be picked up abd cuddled as soon as I walked in the door and was pretty keen to go home.
The girls said she had a great day, painting outside and is quite the dancer, they were playing Ricky Martin and she boogied her toosh off.
Once we were home she continued to be quite sooky and polished off 2 full juice bottles in no time. I started on dinner, one of the kids favourite dishes (creamy bacon fettuchine) but half way through cooking I noticed it was extremely quite, when I went looking for Lill she had put herself to bed, which is very unlike Lilly's normal behaviour so I knew my girl was not feeling the best and most likely coming down with a flu.
When she saw me in her room she decided to get back up and waited ever so patiently for her dinner.
Once dinner was served she was disinterested so I changed her for bed and Josh read her a story. Lilly was asleep in no time.
We had Bonnie and Ashleigh over for a few drinks and about 9pm we heard a sweet little voice talking in the hallway ... Lilly must have refuelled from her little nap, she was quite happy to have a milk but then went straight back to sleep on the couch. Once everyone had left I placed her back into bed. I heard her screaming terribly around 3am and went in to stroke her head and kiss her gently, reassuring her everything was ok, she drifted back off to sleep again.

Thursday at home with mum

I could hear a sweet little voice talking and singing at about 6.30am, I couldnt believe Lilly was up alreaady, it seems to be getting earlier every day! In no time that sweet sounding voice turned into the ever so popular high pitch scream as Lill wanted her morning milk and she wanted it now.

I decided to dress my girl up today and we put on her Dora outfit Nana Jen bought her and her spunky pink boots Nana sent over from Tasmania.

We dropped Josh off at his school for his school holiday activities and then headed to see Juney for a visit. Lilly wasnt impressed when we discovered Juney wasnt home so we left her a note and headed back home.

Lill was pretty well behaved for most of the morning but then when she got tired about 11am she became unbearable and refused to go down for a rest :( She managed to break a glass, pull her pretty piggy tails out, then got into the bathroom to eat half a tube of toothpaste, pull all the toilet paper off the roll, trash her bedroom and then terrorise the poor cat.

She finally gave into the land of nod at about 1.30pm on the lounge room floor, so I gently carried her to her bed where she had a great sleep.

Amazingly she woke up in a good mood and was even happier when I told her we had to go and get Josh.

Back at home she continued on her spree of turning the house upside down, by pulling all the folded washing off my bed, grrrr, then jumped on my bed and started to rip a nice big hole in my sheet, double grrrr, Josh was the alarm and started yelling "mum look at what Lill is doing to your bed!" I knew that was my call to go and suss out what she was up to, and yep she had ripped a huge tear in the bed sheet, not happy!

Lill loved her dinner and after she had a play with Josh then when she began her terror spree yet again of screaming, yelling, pulling the cd's and dvd's off the shelves it was a matter of saying "get to bed' and wow off she went, Lill was sounders within half an hour. Goodnight cheeky xoxox

Lilly made this at child care ready for fathers day this coming sunday ...
