It's been Forever




I guess the title says it all. A long time between posts but you know I generally haven't been feeling any blogger love out there so I haven't been lying awake with guilt or anything.
So much has/is happening within our family I am going to be really efficient and put it in point form.
AKIRA
  • Still has a flowing mane of gorgeous hair and is now out of night pull-ups (happy dance for the finances and growing up in general).
  • Has an undying love for mathematics (which still seems weird to me), disaster storm movies and a never ending list of questions on everything imaginable.
  • Is so very excited about his birthday even though he used up his gift credits months ago.
  • Decided that when you are really annoyed you are in fact "redicupated". What a great word! I propose to use it in moments of chaos when ordinarily a swear word may slip my tongue.
LINKIN
  • Is turning 3 in 5 days!!! Still amazes me we made it especially after that solid year of shreiking like a banshee whenever we were in public. He has actually turned into a really funny, loving little man albeit one with a feisty temper.
  • Has taken to randomly showing you his undies (on the occasion he has them on) and announcing his farts. Luckily this practice is seen as excellent humour in our house.
  • Has mastered the Nintendo DS (so much so he claims it is his now) and has a love of Mr Men~~seriously the 15mins that show is on is when I go to my serene zen place and all is right with the world...pffft! I could have a billion kids if my life mirrored that 15minutes.
THE PARENTS
  • Are becoming parents again!!! hooray! Well it's really old news now as I am almost 5months and sporting a roundness about me that could only be caused by another crazy boy monkey gestating away. This baby may be called "Mr Hot Wheels Beat That" or "Mr Cumulonimbus" if we don't come up with an alternative to overthrow Akira's creative suggestions.
  • Dad is being head hunted left, right and centre and it has nothing to do with his pert buttocks apparently. Just some delayed recognition of the fact he has lived and breathed work for a bloody long time.
  • Are riding the sucky rollercoaster of looking for a rental property as we head back to the west-side with the hope Dad may actually see us enough to recognise us in the street. I can definitely understand why Real Estate Agents are getting assaulted; apart from the unbalanced supply/demand equation there is the fact that they are sneaky, lying and generally don't care if you have to sleep in a box on the street with your 2 kids.
I will aim to but not promise to be here more often; perhaps if I deleted my facebook account I would have more time-but then how would I spy on people?
How bout you leave me some comments and we can share the love
