Easter Hunt In Moama


Easter Bunny hopped into the caravan and left a nice little mess for me to clean up. Micayla gets so excited to see Easter Bunny's prints all over the floor. She told her school teacher that that's what he does. Bailey has no idea yet, he just likes getting chocolate. As soon as he saw his Chocolate Bunny on the table he grabbed it, jumped up onto our bed, unwrapped it and ate it for breakfast, he didn't care about what else was left for him, so Micayla brought it over to him to show him.

Once they'd seen what the Easter Bunny had left inside, they wanted to see what he'd left outside. So they grabbed their baskets and off they went outside with Sarah and Brandon to hunt down more eggs. Bailey found one on the ground, unwrapped it and ate it. We had to guide him to the other eggs scattered around. Micayla was a great help and would point them out to him and not let the others take them from the hiding spot before Bailey could get to it. Once it was all over they tucked into their eggs and that was their breakfast.

All Clear

Bailey developed sever asthma and we had the ambulance out to him. He ended up on Prednisolone and had his preventer upgraded to a stronger one and I had to give him ventolin every 2 hours.

We saw the Doctor today and they have both been given the all clear, finally. What an exhausting week and a half I've had. They maybe sick and just lying around but they winge, and want to lay all over you and you are continually up and down administering medicine. I do it all without complaining because I love them so much, but I'm glad it's over, now I need to rest. It's good to see them well again and back to their normal selves.

Micayla's Scrapbooking

Micayla loves to sit down with me and produce her own pages. I buy her 12x12 paper when it's on special and she uses my scraps and left over embellishments. Sometimes I buy her her own packet of cheap embellishments and stickers. She also gets to use my stamps and ink. She has her own scrapbooking kit she got for her birthday one year, but that's almost all used up. Here are a couple of her creations.

The first one is at the Gingerbread Factory when we went on an excursion with the Kinda and guess what the other one is.

Update on kids illness

It is guaranteed now that Bailey won't be having his grommets put in this Thursday. It is 1am in the morning and I am up with Bailey. He has been coughing a lot and took 8 puffs of the ventolin before it would settle down. He had a fever with a temp of 39.3. I've managed to get it down to 37.5 but now he is fully awake and firing on all fours. The rest of the family are tucked up in bed sleeping, which is where I'd love to be, but no I am still up playing cricket with my little man who just won't go back to sleep.

The kids are sick

Micayla came down with a heavy chest cold and asthma over the weekend and now I have her home from school until Wednesday at least. Just when I was getting used to peace and quite again when she went back from school holidays. We collected some homework and readers from her teacher to do while she is at home. I wish she had have given us some more, what she has given us won't keep her busy enough.

The worst problem is, Bailey has now got it and is supposed to be going in on Thursday to have grommets put in. I don't think that will be happening now. NOT HAPPY!!!!

Your Regular Addams Family

We have a new pet!!! A spider has made a home for itself in our ensuite window and Adrian started feeding it insects. Sick I know!!! But now I don't have the heart to clean away those cobwebs. Our friends are even helping to pick out a name for "our pet spider". The kids are even facinated to see how a spider feeds on the insects. I just think it's disgusting.
