Another one down!

Uhoh, another one of us has gone down with the tummy bug - Florian in Augsburg has it now. He is down there suffering it out on his own until he can face a 3 hour journey home to be looked after.
Here everything is looking fine, Mum has disinfected us perfectly and so far is showing no symptoms even after being with us since Sunday. So Fingers crossed!

Robert was being a REAL 3 year old today. He refused to do stupid things which resulted in me getting my knickers in a twist and shouting at him, and him being sent to his room until he stopped screaming. The best of the day, was when he refused to take his shoes off after coming home from Kindergarden! What a stupid thing to be stubborn about!

Spent the afternoon at the bakers again, but even there Robert would not do as he was told, and I even had to put him in the car to make him think about what he was doing. When I went to get him after 5 minutes or so, he told me he would rather stay there than come back in. Which of course I couldn't do, someone might lock me up for it! So he came back in and proceeded to sulk. Then all of a sudden, he got up, came over gave me a huge cuddle and said sorry. So maybe it had sunk in!

Right now I am off to visit Leigh before I go down to put my feet up and do another layout, I still have one day left to try to do Liz's challenge at SDS, but as I do not know my way around Photoshop at all really, it could be difficult. First to find a picture.

I did it!!! Mum and I sat down at Photoshop, found the Hue and Saturation adjuster and Bingo, it worked! Might try it more often now!

Bye 4 now

Yippee! We're all better!!

Yep, no more diarhoe in our house now! And I hope it stays that way. We didn't eat anything too adventurous today and much to the kids disgust we still didn't get the sweeties out! But our tummies thanked us for it, by not turning themselves over every five minutes! Tomorrow it will be back to Kindergarden for Robert.

We actually ventured out of the house today, and went and got some shopping done, nothing too exciting.

I made my layout for the contest today. I decided to go not quite so over the top with the colour scheme and kept it really simple. I really like it, and I am going to use it as a birthday card for my Aunt in February, and I am sure she will too. We now just have to wait and see, whether it was good enough for the competition, it is definitely completely different to all what is on show so far.
I am not sure whether I am allowed to post it on my blog, I will ask in the forum and if I am, then I will post it here too.

Leigh, any questions on the blog, ask away, I hadn't a clue a few weeks ago, and Blogger make it really easy for you. Even the header was pretty easy (just upload a picture!) You go girl, and I will visit you every day too. Thanks for stopping by, by the way.

Take care, CU tomorrow

My Turn!

Went to bed last night, thinking that I was feeling better -WRONG! Spent most of the early morning on the loo! Robert has the runs too, poor little soul. So all of today's plans were cancelled.
Richard didn't get to the doctors for his check up before Kindergarden starts on Friday, cause Mummy couldn't venture too far from a toilet! And Robert couldn't go to Kindergarden. My Mum who thought she had come up here for some fun, played nurse.
I am feeling hungry right now, so maybe that is a good sign - hopes o, I have had enough of tummy ache!

On a brighter note - I made it to the 2nd Round of the CT Contest on JFTSOI, well everyone did, but that makes it no less special to me. We have been sent the kit, now when I am feeling a bit better, I will start "creating" and see what I can come up with.

It was actually Richards B-day today, but it was a good job we celebrated yesterday, cause none of us were too up to it today. His other grandparents actually remembered him too, and gave him a ring, no card or present, but a thought this year!

NEWSFLASH!!!!!
Richard has just done TWO poohs on the toilet! 2 years old today, and he decided that today is the day he wants to start potty training!!! He asked for the potty for wee-wee's too, but that didn't happen. But boy, was he excited after his successful trip to the toilet!!

Bye 4 now

An early celebration!

Mum and Dad came up to see us today and we celebrated Richard's 2nd Birthday a day early, cause tomorrow his Daddy will be back at work and Pop wouldn't have been able to make it either. And if we are honest Richard doesn't know any different this year!

He thought it was great all the presents to unwrap, everyone singing to him and of course the candles on the cake. That wasn't quite so exciting this year as with the tummy bug doing the rounds we decided to let a healthy baker do the work, and bought just a piece of apple cake. But it looked the part with 2 candles stuck in it and that is the main thing.

Richard got a Doodle Drawing board (a magnetic one), a CD player, a CD story book of Thomas the Tank Engine, Tigger pyjamas, 2 more story CDs and some money to buy something when he needs it (like new shoes in the spring!) He did get a new winter coat with Bob the Builder on it. BUT he won't go anywhere near it. We are not even allowed to try it on him. I wouldn't have thought a 2-year-old could have that strong an opinion - but he has!! He had his coat early so that he could use it straight away, but the little monster won't even try it on!!!!

Mum is staying with us now until Thursday, so we are all excited about that, Dad went back home, he has to work, but he is letting us "borrow Nanna"!

Bye 4 now

He's better

After writing last night, Robert threw up 3 times and had the runs. I got some medicine against throwing up down him straight away, and that seems to have helped. Cause today he was not himself, but he wasn't throwing up. Thank goodness.
And after a nap after lunch, he was nearly back to normal. He wanted to go and dig in the garden, so Florian took both boys out and they "dug in the garden", well Robert in the garden and Richard in the sandpit. They were out for quite a while, I am sure the fresh air did them good.
They are now tucked up in bed after having a great time putting the bathroom under water whilst bathing! Let's hope the bug is all over and done with now!
I still feel as though someone borrowed my stomach for a game of football, but I can eat and drink without feeling ill, so I am sure it is going to miss me out.

Bye 4 now

NEXT!!!

Robert has a fever! He hasn't thrown up yet or had the runs, but then again he hasn't eaten all day. As excited as he was about Daddy coming home, he still only wanted Mummy to cuddle him. And that says it all, after all the shouting at him I have done this week. I hope he feels better in the morning. I was really looking forward to Mum and Dad coming for Richards Birthday, but if Robert gets the bug, then they shouldn't come and get it!

Florian got home at 5.15pm and the boys were all over him. They all sat down and played their own version of Ludo, and Robert surprised us all by telling us what number was on the dice. Wow! And even in German! Getting there, slowly but surely, I think I will have to ask at Kindergarden, how his German is coming on. I tend to forget to do that, cause I hear too often, that it isn't, and that it will have to have by the time he goes to school (thats still over 2 years away yet!)

After another bad night last night, tonight, I am going to let Florian go and sort Richard out should he wake up. Its not worth it for Robert, if he really is ill, Daddy won't stand a chance.

Oh What a Night...

... was it really nighttime? The boys didn't really seem to think so, they had me up so many times last night! At 4.30 (not the first time I was up) Robert needed a cuddle - but not in his bed in mine! I fought it, but it was fighting a losing battle so he ended up in with me. At 5.30 Richard joined us, and then the two of them fought over who was going to lay beside Mummy. By 6.15 they got up! And that is just the latter part of the night, I will spare you with the details of the earlier part of the night!

Well, at least they were both too tired to be as contradictive as yesterday, but they tried their hardest.

AS for Richards tummy bug, this morning I thought it was all over, as he was passing wind left right and centre. But then. again I won't go into details, but lets just say the lounge floor has been washed! And by bedtime he had his 3rd pair of trousers on! Poor little thing. He is still not asleep, he tells me he has tummy ache. I managed to get him to take the horrible medicine so hopefully that will help. Up until now, he either spat it straight back out or refused to take it. But by the smell of it, I can understand.

Wish me luck that tonight, they don't need to see me so often.
CU tomorrow

Knackered!

I have been fighting an uphill battle I think today. Robert got it into his head that today was going to be another of those "I'll ignore whatever Mummy says"-Days! And he stuck to it!
I thought some fresh air would do us all good and blow away all the germs surrounding us. I wisely didn't let them take any kind of transport with them (i.e. bikes, bobby cars, scooters, and whatever else they might have had in mind), cause last time we did, they escaped and were half way back home, before I could get even remotely close.

So we walked, which went great for a third of the way, and then they decided that running and spinning in the middle of the road was the thing to do. And only dragging them by their coats got them back on the path. I was hoarse by then. And this continued for all our walk, in the end I told them that unless they start to do as they are told, that was their last walk with Mummy! That had no effect on them, if they even heard me!

The day with them finished with Robert screaming in his bed, because after again being told 37 times to do something he ignored me, so I put him to bed, without his beloved "story"! That got the message through. And hopefully a reminder of tonight, will put him in a better mood tomorrow!

Richard by the way still has a bit of the runs, but in himself he is a lot better. Had a few temper tantrums in the morning, but they were all gone after a snooze. Perhaps Robert getting him up at 6.30am wasn't such a good idea.

Now something nice to say about the two monsters, I can't only rant about them....erm....difficult one today. Oh yes, I know, they both played NICELY with the Lego today, and they put it away without me asking when they had finished.

CU tomorrow

Tummy bug continued...

When Richard woke up this morning, I really thought he was over it. And then he threw up all over my pillow! So it was a trip to the doctors this morning for us. He has a virus, and the doctor has already given us medicine for Robert too!! So I am in no way prepared for, but expecting him to come down with it too! I just hope it passes him by, and me for that matter!
Needless to say, we are not going to see Mum tomorrow, and we had to turn away unexpected guests this afternoon. Such a shame!

Robert didn't make life easier for me today, from the word go this morning, he was determined to do the exact opposite of anything I said, regardless of how I worded it, or said it, or shouted it, I even screamed it a couple of times. He actually even laughed at me, thinking it was some kind of joke. Made it very difficult. I hope that mood of his is better tomorrow. Or maybe mine will be after a bit more sleep!


Well here is the poorly little darling before he fell ill, at the carnival parade. This was for the chat challenge (JFTSOI), you had to use all the things on the layout just once.

And then just for the fun of it, and cause it is a perfect match, I did this one:

CU tomorrow

Someone doesn't want me...

to settle into any kind of routine! Started the day with a very whiny Richard (very unusual) he didn't tuck into his Weetabix, said he had "tummy ache", I just thought it was cause he was hungry.
Well, once we got back from taking Robert to Kindergarden. I got him out of the car, saying about tummy ache, only this time screaming - and he threw up. Missed both of us though luckily.
He was OK then for the rest of the morning, though not his usual self, he just wanted cuddles.
Then after we picked Robert up, he had bad runs andwas nearly falling asleep, so I put him to bed before lunch.
He woke up at about 2pm, and came downstairs, but he was so floppy, and between then and bedtime he had to be changed 3 times! Poor thing! He's now in bed, and I hope that he is OK for the night. Wish me luck!

On a happier note (for me at least) he starts Kindergarden on 1st February! Signed him on today! I think he will enjoy it, once he gets used to the fact, that I don't stay.

I got the kit for the Creative Team Contest. I am allowed to enter one layout. That's a shame, cause I have quite a few ideas. I have until Friday to post, so I am going to try out all my ideas and then enter the best! Wish me luck!

right now I am really off to chat on the internet, if the boys let me that is. So far Robert is quiet and Richard just needed a bit of TLC. Fingers crossed
CU tomorrow

Daddy's home

And the boys were so pleased to see him, they kept doing their Happy Dance in the morning, and under no circumstances was he allowed to stay sleeping! they kept kissing him and trying to pull him out of bed, until he gave in and got up! And I pulled the covers up high and had a lay in! I had been up half of the night again though!

In the afternoon, we dragged a kicking and screaming Robert to the bakers, where as Richard heard the word bakers and said "My want to go bakers me!" and off he went to get his coat. Why Robert so adamantly didn't want to go, not a clue, because once there he thought it was great. They had loads of balloons there today, so they played with them most of the time.

I am off out tonight with friends, Robert is not very happy about that either, but I'm going anyways!

I have done a layout of Ticki and Sunny, but it is downstairs so I will add it later or tomorrow

Bye 4 now

Spots...

galore! All over Robert they were this morning! Bother, I had hoped that they would be miraculously gone this morning, but they weren't. So at 8am I phoned the doctor. Phone again at 11am was the answer then, I phoned at 11am. There had been an emergency, and they were behind schedule, phone at 11.30. So I phoned at 11.30, no, still behind schedule, try again at 12.30! By this time, my nerves are wearing thin, cause there isn't much you can do, when you expect to be leaving once phoning the doctor. Anyway I made lunch between then and 12.30 and then phoned again. This time we were told to be there for 1.10pm. We were there, and waited and waited and waited. Saw the doctor at 2pm. By then Robert had used their loo 3(!) times. That is when I start wishing he was still in nappies!!!
Thankfully, he has nothing catching - it is an allergy rash. What from, heaven only knows. I have to write down all he had to eat and drink in the last day or so, and then if or when it happens again, we will be able to compare lists and maybe find the culprit! Who knows!

The afternoon was uneventful, the usual fighting over the same toys, not doing as Mummy says and then being cute! Now they are tucked up in bed, and maybe tonight I will get a good nights sleep. Fingers Xed!

Well, I tried various things tonight for a challenge, and none turned out quite the way I planned, but I liked this one, just for me! Isn't he cute!?

Credits: Your Smile Add on by Sweet Digi Scraps

I am glad I didn't attempt to go to bed early today, between 22.30 and now (23.40) I have been to the boys 4 times (3 Robert, once Richard). I hope that was now it, until the morning. Robert again one of the times only wanted to tell me that he loved me lots and lots, and when I said, "good, is there anything else", he said "You don't have to be cross, Mummy!" I have tried to explain, that I don't need to hear it in the middle of the night, and that in future he should just blow me a kiss, but I don't suppose it sunk in!

CU tomorrow

Mummy, what's this...

on my tummy?! That was Robert about an hour ago, after going to the toilet on his own. I then swore, whoops! He has a rash, not only on his tummy but all over his body, not his arms and legs, but back, front, bum and willy! AGH!!!!
Guess where we're going in the morning! I can hardly send him to Kindergarden looking like that! It apparently doesn't itch or hurt, and he doesn't have a fever, so I can only hope it is none of the typical children's things. Wish us luck!

Otherwise today was a good day, more or less. Richard and I got all the ironing done and put away, without breaking anything!!! Ticki was the one who broke something, he sneaked into the kitchen whilst we weren't looking and got up on the counter, and managed somehow to knock a plate on the floor. There is a German saying that goes "Scherben bringen Glück" broken pottery brings good luck. Well, maybe we should start playing the lottery, cause we seem to have a lot of things breaking around here.
I trod on Roley tonight and broke him. Oh the tears. I will have to buy some SuperGlue tomorrow, and hope that that will mend it.
Did I really write that today was a good day - doesn't sound like it really?! But it was, cause I didn't scream at the kids so often. Probably cause we went to the Bakers AGAIN! And they do love it there.

Right, now I am off to put some dry clothes on, gave the kids a bath and got drowned (as usual)

This is Lisa, my Godchild.

CU tomorrow

Not a very exciting...

day to put on a blog, just a day in the life of a SAHM (stay at home Mum). Shopping, an appointment for a massage at the physio, pick Robert up from Kindergarden.
A friend to visit with her kids, tea then bed!
The usual, with the usual tantrums and cute moments.

Robert however had an exciting morning. He got to go to the cinema with Kindergarden! They went on a bus, saw a film, had popcorn and a ride on the bus home again. He was so excited about it all. Beforehand, he was very worried about it, said he would be frightened of the big TV. But it turns out "I really like that big tele, Mummy, will you go with me again!?" That's my boy!
The next Disney film is ours - Mum, would you babysit Richard then?!

As for the chat at DSO, I should try and work out the times for them, cause 9pm CST or whatever does not translate to 8pm German time. It would have been at about 6am, so I gave it a miss. Maybe some other time!

One last challenge to tackle tonight, so I am off downstairs now, to see what I can come up with.

This was difficult, don't normally do Resolutions, but Mum and I came up with a few things that could be improved, so I scrapped them.

Why? Why does Robert always call me, when whatever I am watching on TV explains everything! He did it again, I have no idea who the murderer was now. Again I missed the last 5 minutes of CSI. Oh well, better luck next week!
CU tomorrow

Batteries are recharged!!

And that is a good thing, as the kids decided that they would have the most fun this afternoon, if they argued over the same toys. It was as if we didn't live in a toy shop! Honestly, we could open our own online toystore and be in business for a year, but my two only ever wanted the same toy.
But I didn't let them get to me today, I just let it go in one ear and out the other, we had a couple of stints on the naughty chair, but it didn't get to me!
The weekend must have done me the world of good. And by the time Friday rolls around and my nerves are thin, we will be at the Mütze (mother and baby centre, in case anyone other than Florian reads this!)

Tomorrow is Robert's big day out from Kindergarden, and I decided I needed to prewarn him about it. They are going on the bus to the cinema! (I'm so jealous!) Robert doesn't want to go, he told me, he said he would be frightened! Silly boy, the way he soaks up any television, he will LOVE it. Even more so as he is our son. We used to go once week. Now it is more like once a year!!

I am off to my first ever online chat at 8pm, I wonder what it will be like. That is if the kids let me.

And I have found a photo for the Quote Challenge at DSO, so I should be posting that later on.Credits:

Waiting for Pizza!!

Yep, that's right, who needs New Year's Resolutions about diets and such...?! Not us! We have decided to treat ourselves, the kids are in bed, the pizza is ordered, and should be here, round about the time, I finish tonights recap of the day! Can you hear my tummy rumbling?!

It was a beautiful day today, sunshine all day, freezing cold, but beautiful. We took the boys to a playground this afternoon, lots of swinging and digging in the sand. They were lovely and warm, we however felt the cold creeping up, maybe we should have done more running around too!

Managed to get one layout nearly finished already, so who knows maybe I'll have two to post.

Now, the pizza must be nearly here, my tummy is going to wake the boys up in a minute.

Pizza was delicious, too much, but delicious.

I made this for a template challenge at DSO tonight, thought it would be nice to have a layout of the house.

A lovely Day

I escaped (!) this morning, I left Florian with the kids, and went into town for some "retail therapy". I went to C&A's and got a pair of shoes (no, I am not a normal female, for me shopping for shoes is the one thing I hate shopping for. But I got a bargain so I am happy (12 Euros!) and I got a new jumper.
When Robert saw it on, he said, "I like your new pretty jumper, Mummy", and as I left the room he muttered "I like it best!" So cute.
Whilst I was out, Florian took the boys for a walk, which wore them out nicely, so that we got a nice lunch break from them.

And in the afternoon we went to that bakers again. They love it there, and so do I!

Now, just a couple more minutes and I can go downstairs!
CU tomorrow

Yippee...Florian's home

We were all so pleased to see him, the boys did their happy dance on their knees, it was so cute. Then they followed him just about everywhere until bed time! But the funniest thing was teatime. They both wanted to "sit next to Daddy", so Daddy made them stay where they were and went and sat himself between them. And whilst they were all eating both of the kids kept touching him. Not sure whether it was to make sure he was real, or to make sure he stayed put. Probably a bit of both!
As soon as Florian pushed his plate away, they were both on his lap! It was so cute to watch. They looked so good then, not like the little devils they had been up until 5 minutes before Florian walked in.

It was a long hard week, and I am glad it is over. Tomorrow I am going into town on my own, to have a break - recharge my batteries as I like to say. Robert has already told Florian that he wants to go for a walk! So I guess that is what they will do. I will have a nice morning out in town!

Did another DSO challenge today, you had to use 8 pictures (not too much of a problem, we've got over 20.000!) and 8 (!) papers, the most I had used before was 2, so this really was a challenge.
I don't think i will be using 8 again! this is what I came up with.

Nearly...

couldn't blog today. Got up this morning and the internet wasn't working. The boys were for once not to blame. I checked all the cables, texted Florian to find out how to reset the router. Tried that - no luck. So another call to the T-Com hotline. They said that it would probably be Saturday before someone could sort out my problem - and I thought the week could get no worse!!
But as you can see here I am updating you on my day, so Yep, the T-Com man came at lunch time. Did exactly what I had done, and it worked again. I felt a bit silly really. But who cares, it's working and I'm blogging, surfing, emailing, and all those fun things!

In the afternoon we went to a friends, Jenny, for waffles and a chat. It was good to be amongst adults, and all the kids played really nicely together. And the waffles were delicious. I forgot to take the camera, which was a shame, cause some of the kids playing would have been nice to have. Next time.

Forgot to tell you, I am entering a creative contest on JFTSOI, the prize being working for them doing two layouts a week with their products. Sounds like fun. Don't seriously expect to win, but I will have great fun in the contest that I know. So now I have to get downstairs and start practising, got lots more challenges to get done. And Liz, my favourite designer, has just sent out the posting bonus for two of her challenges, and I already know what I want to do with them!
Watch this space later on!

The mirror crack'd....

...no not quite it smashed to smithereens (how on earth do you spell that?!) But I am sure you get the picture! Whilst I was ironing and thinking to myself how well the morning was going (kids hadn't argued, I hadn't had to raise my voice, the ironing was going to be finished in time to walk to Kindergarden to pick Robert up, when....... SMASH!!!!!! Richard somehow managed to knock Florian's Grandma's mirror over. Haven't got a clue how. That really shook me. Richard was so lucky, that he was standing to the side of the mirror (and me for that matter). But the poor heirloom, is now possibly beyond repair (the mirror definitely, the frame maybe, Florian will have to look) At least no one was hurt. And apparently it is only bad luck if a mirror breaks into 7 pieces, this was more like 7.000 pieces.
To top it off, a plant that was stood in front of it, also fell to the floor, and it had been watered too much. So along with all the pieces of mirror I also had a lake to mop up!
Richard was sufficiently frightened to stay in Roberts room, so I didn't need to worry about him.

In the afternoon, after a lot of tidying up (Robert and Richard got out ALL of the toys and spread them right across the bedroom) We went to the bakers - that sounds like a fun outing, doesn't it.
Well, it is really a baker and indoor playground. The boys love it there, and I got a REAL break. They went straight off to play with all the toys (Richard with the Stickle Bricks, Robert on a Go-Kart), and I treated myself to a Chocolate Croissant and a Hot Chocolate - just what the doctor had ordered, I would say!

And now my little cherubs are snug as bugs in rugs in their beds - hopefully soon asleep.
Take care, check your mirrors are not safety hazards

I've been busy scrapping again, this is for a Book of Me Challenge at DSO (Digital Scrapbooking Org), you had to scrap your expectations for 2008 rather than your New Years Resolutions.

One of those Days

We didn't exactly get off to a flying start this morning. The boys were up at 6.30 and full of beans. Neither were interested in a cuddle with Mummy, all they wanted to do from the word "go" was fight and argue. What a way to start the day.
Once Robert was at Kindergarden Richard was in a much better mood, he loves his Mummy-time. We went for a massage then. Well I got to have a massage and Richard was allowed to watch and play. He was a little angel there, not a peep, just a contented little boy playing - such a difference to the earlier morning.

But I still needed a little retail therapy, so I went and got myself a new coat, from my Xmas Present (gift voucher). Richard thought it was hilarious, how many coats Mummy could try on!

Unfortunately the arguing and fighting continued in the afternoon. So needless to say I am now knackered. I do though think I know what Robert's problem was. He has a fever and is now dosed up with Calpol in bed. Poor little thing, and to think I spent most of the afternoon telling him off (mostly at the top of my voice, cause he was screaming too loud!)

Hopefully he will feel better in the morning, I really don't fancy a trip to the doctors. We always seem to leave there more poorly than when we went in!

OK, off downstairs now, I will post a layout for you later, if I conquer another challenge, they are getting more difficult now!

Happy New Year

Well, I have finally figured out, what I can do with the time I am sat in the office outside of the boys rooms, waiting to see if they need me anymore or not.
So instead of playing Minesweeper or surfing the net I have decided to keep a "blog". It will probably end up like a sort of diary, who knows. Not sure if anyone will actually be interested in it. But it will keep me occupied whilst sitting around waiting for that little voice "more juice" or from the other side of me "I need a wee-wee". Normally I only have to be this close for 20 mins. But that should be enough for this blog. Don't want to get too carried away.

So how was your day? Mine was OK. Robert went back to Kindergarden after the holidays this morning. And there were no tears, and he even nearly forgot to wave goodbye. I didn't think that would be a good idea, so I reminded him.
Richard enjoyed his morning alone with Mummy. Not that I actually played with him, I was ironing whilst he was building ships with some bricks. ( there's an idea, I will put a photo up here, when I get to the laptop, where the pictures are!)

Credits: Kit Bleu - Akiloune

We was going to go out puddle splashing in the afternoon, but the rain decided the puddles weren't quite deep enough just yet and continued, as soon as Richard had finished his nap. But the boys were quite content playing with their racing track, doing stickers and colouring in, and annoying one another!

Well, all is quiet here, so I think I can chance heading off downstairs. Don't like to go too soon, cause it is annoying to get comfy on the couch and then have to come straight back upstairs.

Happy New Year and
CU tomorrow
