Early rising... again

After months of blissful sleep-ins we are now back to early rising, all regulated by the kids of course! Lillian can now open her door, so the whole house is at her disposal when she gets up! As soon as I hear her around the house I get nervous because I don't know what she is up to. She is usually nice and quiet, and even though our door is cracked she never opens it, but still I can't stay in bed for long after I hear her up and about. She is usually very good, finding her colors and some paper, but this morning she found pens and colored on herself! So far there hasn't been any new art work on the walls. The other thing that is really nice is she takes herself to the bathroom in the mornings, one less time for me to worry about it!

Now on to Oliver, after months of waiting his next batch of teeth are making an appearance, and the poor child is miserable with the teeth popping through, he wants his bottle, but doesn't want to suck on it, and his appetite has decreased slightly because he doesn't want to chew. Poor baby boy, but not to worry, he is far from wasting away!

In Australia news, the Ausie Rules Football Grand Final was last week, and it ended in a draw! This would be lie the Superbowl ending in a tie! They have to play the whole game again this weekend. It was really quite amazing, to see the shock on everyones face, including the players who just collapsed on the field after the whistle blew. Naturally Greg had a team he was cheering for and he got into the game, jumping up and down and yelling, much to the kids delight. It is rather amazing how into games men can get!

The internet was down at the office yesterday morning so Greg didn't go into work, choosing to work from home instead, and then in the afternoon the weather was so bad that he didn't want to walk to catch the train, so we had a whole day with him working at home, it was a nice change for us. A really nice treat.
