Taking a little Holiday

So I know that Ive been a little quiet on here lately, I'm sorry.
Life is pretty hectic but thankfully a little break is just around the corner.
Literally......
Tomorrow we jump on a plane and fly our tired selves all the way to sunny, hot, relaxing, soul refreshing Townsville. AHHHHHHHH just thinking about it has my body slowly easing the built up tension.

After the challenging couple of months we have had, this holiday is just what we need.
We will be staying with our beautiful friends who's boys are the same age as our boys and have been their besties pretty much since birth. Needless to say Master D can not wait.

Some extra exciting news.

I had the absolute privilege and honour of praying with Master D when he gave his heart to Jesus and made Him his best friend. I tell you what NOTHING compares to that.
We celebrated after school with a dounut and babycino, of course that was followed by a look (play) around the local Toys R Us. So fun.

What would have to be your most memorable moment?

Moments of Peace

Currently my two little men are in their room, playing, interacting and plain old getting along (upon my request)
YES I asked my 5 year old to take his 1 year old brother into their room and play with him so mummy could have some peace moments to herself.
Selfish mumma??? maybe or ,maybe not...
The last few days have been quite a struggle in the mothering department.
So many attitudes, trantrums, name calling you name it its been happening in our house.
Its almost as if the crazy windy cold weather has evoked something deep within my boys that has manifested in many forms.
SO MANY TEARS....(and that's just from me).

So right now I'm giving myself a few peaceful moments to gather myself and the crazy thoughts running about in my head.
Order and routine needs to be welcomed back into our home with open arms like a long lost friend who has been gone for toooooo long and finally returns with the hopes and dreams of new adventures and funness (not sure that's a word but I'm running with it).
Time to press the restart button.

Any words of wisdom or nuggets of gold you could offer in relation to my situation would be greatly appreciated.
