Camping 2013

We decided to go camping somewhere different this year. We booked ourselves into Forest Glen Resort (Big 4) camp site and it was a great chance. Forest Glen is located around 15km from  the Sunshine Coast and is very scenic.

We had booked into an ensuite tent site so we had our own shower and toilet for the stay. Totally worth the extra $.

The place had a huge kids water slide in the pool area and the kids had a ball going swimming every day. There was also kids club where we sat down and did some craft.

Na, Adrian, the kids, Brandon and Ray and Toni also came and visited us and we took the kids to their first disco held at the resort. Sam had a crush on a little Asian girl, who was 8 and was playing it cool.

Na and Adrian were staying at Maloolaba in a nice hotel with views so a few times we went and visited them and spent some days at the beach.

Near the end of the trip, we were at the beach and Elliot was pulling the kids along the watery sand on the boogie board when all of a sudden the string ripped out of the board and hit him in the eye. From a distance it looked like he was having a fight with Brandon, but I soon realised what happened. He was in agony and couldn't open his eye. Brandon rushed him off to hospital. In the end he was very lucky to not have done major damage.

That night when we got back to the site, we had missed a huge storm that came over the site. A lot of our clothes were thrown everywhere and there was a lot of water. By this point I was over it so I made the decision for us to leave a day early. 6 days was enough. We packed up the next morning and by late lunch we were on our way home.

I really enjoyed myself, as did the kids and El, and we might come back next year.

Sammy is 2 months!

Well my little man is 2 months old! Although it does feel like he has been in our lives forever! Thought I would do an update on us while Samuel is having a sleep. He is such a good baby, and I noticed this since we made the fulltime switch to formula. I tried with b/f but it just wasnt working for us. S is such a more contented and happy baby. S had his 2 month needles the other day and it was the hardest thing I have had to do! I had to hold his poor little legs down while they stuck the needles in him. The first one was bad and he cried but stopped pretty much straight away, but the second one OMG He screamed so loud and his face went bright red and he was so sad.... :( It took me 10 mins to soothe him. Im defiantely not looking forward to his 4 month needles. He is almost sleeping through the night now! Bedtime is between 7-730pm, and I follow the bath, bottle, bed routine. This has helped him realise bedtime is approaching and he starts to unwind! He will generally sleep until bet...

Mr Timmy came for a visit

34 weeks 6 days Tim was up in QLD for his school rock-band tour and so we decided to meet up for dinner. It had been over a year since we had seen him last. We went to the Glen Hotel and had a nice dinner. A few hours before we had left Samuel fell face first into gravel in the front yard. Poor lil thing was all scratched up. But he was really well behaved considering it was late at night when he's usually fast asleep. Here are some pics:
