{October Already & Photos}

I can't believe how fast this year is going..... There is only something like 82 sleeps until christmas and then before I know it Sam will be one. We have been quite busy last month, we had Mia's last game of soccer. I celebrated my 31st birthday..... I had a lovely morning with the family and then went to another friends house where we had pancakes for morning tea YUMMO. Then we went to Orange to do our tax, Mia had her soccer presentation that weekend as well and she received the coaches award which she was pretty happy about. Now she wants to play cricket OMG I just want to stay home....last weekend we went to Dubbo for my Aunty's 50th, Salt had a great night. I went home at 9 with the kids as it was sooooo cold. I had a fringe cut and can't believe how much younger I look! Don't know what I had been thinking for the last year or so. Sam has started to do so much stuff.... he got his first tooth on the 23 Sept, not that I would have known, we were at dancing and Kristin was holding him and he was chewing on her finger as he does to everyone!!! And she said Amie he has a tooth - NO he doesn't was my reply. Yes he does.......... NO he doesn't..............anyway she was right and the little turd has been biting me OUCH. He is starting to crawl getting up on those hands and knees and just rocking. He can drag himself along the floor now and is quick I turn my head for a second and he is across the room. Talk about trying to keep the house tidy. He is forever putting stuff in his mouth that the girls leave lying around, Brie thought she would give him a 20c piece the other day so that was a fun experience NOT.

School holidays started this afternoon I just love school holidays . I hate having to rush Mia around in the mornings. She told me when she came home from school today that she isn't getting out of bed tomorrow she is just so tired.

She is going really well at school, her reading and writing is improving, in the last few days she has been trying to write sentences all by herself it is really quite funny to see how she thinks things are spelt.

Brie is going really well, she is ever so cheeky and adorable. The other day one of the kids toys started singing and Brie said MUM THATS THE MUSIC THAT COMES OUT OF SAMS SOCKS!!!!!

I laughed so much because I knew she was talking about sam being in his jolly jumper. He has a music mat under him and it was the same music..... so cute. She has her Dad wrapped around her finger like you wouldn't believe. He just can't say no to her. She went to work with him this afternoon even after he had said no 5 times LOL.

The pool opens this weekend and Mia is just busting to go it is going to be freezing but it is such a kid thing to want to go to the pool as soon as it opens.

We are in the process of getting the plans drawn up for the house... OMG I will be so glad when it is all over and we have only just started :o(

Ok now for a few photos,

This is a new sign up at our Local Caravan Park - my girls are in one of the photos Just a bit exciting for them. Salts sister actually took the photo of the river in the bottom right hand corner.

And lastly 2 photos that I took of Sam yesterday morning. He is so cute I just love him so much and just don't want him to grow up I wish they could stay babies forever.

I am sure there is heaps more stuff that I should be writing down but I just can't think of it atm.

I am off to bed.

Have a great long weekend everyone. We are staying home as Salt is working as usual LOL.
