Maddison had a great birthday party, but Saturday night was terrible, she woke so many times, had a really high temp then vomited about 4-5 times. Nice. So needless to say I didn't get a lot of sleep. Took her to the Dr's on Sunday and of course her temperature had dropped by then, so they just said it's a "wirus" (or in English a virus!). Her temp was up and down all Sunday, so I just kept her home and she had a couple of really good sleeps and was in bed by 6.30pm and asleep by 6.32pm! :-) She's better today.
So with all the going's on I haven't made very much progress at all on my Cultural LO for Project Scrap Away. Doesn't help that it took me AGES to decide just what I was going to do, then I've been too busy with other things (or too tired) to do anything. So haven't got good vibes about this one. That might change tomorrow, but right now, it's scary how much I still have to do on it. So if you'd like to help me out with immunity, that would be GREAT :-) Please see this post here for instructions. Thanks heaps. Also, check out Project Scrap Away's blog here too as they have some mini challenges for all blog readers and you can win prizes. Check it out.
School holidays started today too, so that's been fun! My afternoon is not my own anymore, so another reason why no progress has been made on my LO. Aaron has done several really naughty things today, and had time out on his bed, but hasn't seemed to have changed his attitude much! (breathe deep Rachel!)
And for those that were asking if Aaron giving Maddison Thomas the Tank Engine stuff for her birthday helped with the sharing, the answer is NO! Sounded good in theory, but the reality is ... he spent all Friday and much of Saturday with her new little trolley with blocks on it and had it loaded up with all her other new toys that he fancied and was running round like a wild thing taunting her with it and saying "No Maddison share!!!" Honestly! I ask you ... what are we going to do with him???
So here's some photos of the Birthday Girl on Friday and Saturday. :-)
New trike from Grandad & Nana (Aaron has a red & yellow one, but prefers pink now!!!). Bob and Wendy toys from Grandad & Grandma, she really liked them. A cooks outfit from Uncle Matt & Aunty Kate. Trolley from us. The cake was in the shape of a flower if you can't make it out in the photo!! :-) A last minute job on Friday night ... put it in the oven around 11pm! Decorated it on Sat morning. The rest of the cake pics are self explanatory.

well it sounded like an interesting weekend you had Rachel. Love the cake, and Miss Maddison looks so cute in her chefs outfit. Maddison will sort out Aaron when she is older, dont you worry :-). Go hard on the crop away comp, you can do it Rachel.
Love the look on M's face when she's on the bike :-) Wondered how the party went! So wish we could have been there... but not to be this time.
Wow - one year babe, how cool is that! Congratulations!
Oh Rachel, i hope that Maddison is all right by now.. Get well soon lil gurl!
That cake and cupcakes look yummy! And it looks like she enjoyed eating (and playing!) with the cake! *LOL*
Cant wait to see your creation for PSA! All the best! =)
Take care Rachel..
*hugs*
What a shame that Maddison got sick around her birthday - but pleased she had a nice party first! I hope she's on the mend now.
Don't worry about Aaron and the sharing. He will soon learn to share, once Maddison is old enough to teach him a lesson or two!! You'll probably find she is the one who struggles with sharing, as she will always want his things (and they won't always be age-appropriate). Ah, the joys of having more than 1 child! It DOES get easier ... promise!
Love the family photo...Aaron is making sure he is definately in it!!!
Cool to see the pictures, Rach.
Not so col about Maddison being sick.
But you can pull thru this character building time to create an ab fab LO.
Good luck
Sheena
