Cute saying of the day:

When Derry (14) wouldnt play with Elijah in the garden anymore there was a whole load of tears. Elijah followed Derry into the lounge and said:

"Look, I'm very crying!"

Elijah, Lachie and Dad went swimming last night. I cant believe the difference just three weeks of going swimming has made. Elijah has gone from really not enjoying the whole ordeal to absolutely loving it. He has gained so much confidence and now walks off on his own into the pool, right up to his neck. He likes splashing and jumping in and generally being a 2 year old who loves going swimming with his dad.

Today I am 1 day overdue with baby number 5. We have a visit from Nanny for lunch and we need to post a large parcel. It took ages to wrap and now its done its pouring with rain so I dont fancy walking to the post office at the end of the road! Is it totally wrong to drive (in a big people carrier) around 500 yards? ;)
