How To Tuesday !

sorry Kris couldnt resist :)

Q.how to make your life look better than it actually is ??
A. have a Blog

:)
xx
B

hold on....let me explain :)
after a conversation with some dear friends about the land of Blog , the ole guilt trip was weighing heavily so I thought I would give you a mental tour of my home and life this day
:)
you aint getting pics coz its way too ugly :)

visuals!!
Front door has something smeared on it
3 baskets of washing in corner of kitchen table
another dumped on the kitchen table
washing up on sink
something stuck to the stove top from last nights dinner
floors need a mop/vacuum/new carpet etc :)
compost container overflowing
laundry basket overflowing
more clothes (clean and dirty)on the floor in our bedroom..why exactly do we have cupboards??
MORE dirty clothes behind pretty much every other door :)
the contents of the sock basket covering the office floor
dont even imagine the boys rooms upstairs after school holidays and not much cleaning up
ok you get the picture and Im thinking its possibly a little like your place sometimes ?? please tell me yes :)

daily life!
I saw an article recently entitled...
"How to have peace in your home ?..develop laryngitis !"
sooo true.our boys will testify to this(me needing to catch laryngitis that is )
I think I need the next book...
"Being a joyful Mother of children."
I mean I AM joyful..when they finally fall asleep!
haha
(in case future generations of ours read this..that would make blogging totally righteous - being for family history and all that)..I had better say...
I loove our family and looove being a Mum.I just need a whole lotta improving EVERYDAY.
so although I love to share the fun things we do together ..they are just that..the fun things !But you can rest assured that we have days where family night is a "fight that opens and closes with a prayer " :)
and
there are a whole lotta photos I dont post coz I look TERRIBLE !!
:)
and I'm GLAD Tony is going on another overseas trip..and he's GLAD to be getting away from me for a bit :)
and
our house is a mess and I'm stressing about everything and this hasn't even scraped the surface !!
haha

so for next weeks " How To Tuesday" we will discuss...
Q.How to ensure your house stays in the mess it already is in??
but we already know the answer ...
A: spend all afternoon writing a blog entry!


hugs n smiles
Bron

apologies in advance for "way too much reality !!"

Mt.Field

The boys had some fun times with Tone too these holidays.
It gave me a chance to relax and do girly stuff (which I am very grateful for )and besides they loove adventures with Dad .
Among other things,Tone took the younger 3 to the snow.He said they wished I was there but I was grateful for a little time out(Tone has another 3 week trip coming up)I was so glad to hear they had a great time.
Zach and Fletch were at a Youth activity so perhaps we should do this again later in the season.
I wish I could put all the pics on .Gil and Ammon had the camera and there are some funny..but surprisingly good shots.



messing about in boats

Josh wants daddy to buy him "a big boat"..Zach does too for that matter :)
but in the mean time..
this will have to do.
But they loved it!
"there is nothing ,even half so much worth doing, as simply messing about in boats"

I took the pics and then left them to it !

the dinosaur egg

We found the dinosaur egg up Mt Wellington.(thanks Chels)
I decided that this holiday was going to be about getting out in the fresh air,in nature.
great idea!
even little Joshys legs have been pumping as he walked the whole way and insisted on carrying rocks and dragging sticks.
certainly makes for peaceful (and long ) sleepings :)
and the big boys are not staring at a screen ..yaaay (thats me with the yay not them ) haha
but I hope when they think back ,it will be the time outdoors that they enjoyed the most...coz that ole computer game is a faaar distant memory..hmmmm?? heres hoping !
:)
