hello tuesday, hello RAIN!!

i am shockingly bad at watering my garden (read: don't water at all). so when it rains, especially when I'm not at work, I think it's great. except the feeling wasn't so great when dripping down the drainpipe outside my bedroom woke me at 5am!! lol, I even tried moving into the spare room to sleep but by then I was thinking too much. crazy huh

the boys played SO nicely this morning. I let Josh get into a bad habit of watching too much ABC kids in the mornings so recently I've slashed his time right back to just the 1/2hr of playschool. He has coped fantastically well, and our mornings are much more pleasant. so this morning he and Kai were in the 'play area' together (we've gated off the under stairs toy area with a play pen that goes straight across...does that make sense? it's awesome, keeps the toys contained...and the boys!!) and they were both really impressing me...until Josh took Kai's favourite plastic ball and Kai smacked him in the eye!! lol but we talked it thru and they both apologised (as best they could) and it was all good.

so...a rainy day inside. hmmm...definitely calls for some baking. love that baking smell when you're stuck inside. maybe date and walnut loaf :) yum

lots of people have been doing updates on what they're kids are up to lately. I love reading them, and I love the way it reminds me that I need to do it for the boys too :)
soon
