I can’t say but we did find out late last week actually @tyme we aren’t sure if we’ll share or be a bit cheeky and not tell and just see what people say 😂 still deciding what to do with our new peice of information! Also see how long we can last not saying anything.
But yes out numbered!!! Eeeek!! Yes, yes it’s going to be chaotic and fair to say it was… a surprise 😎 but we are very very happy. The boys are very excited.

Hi guys and thanks for the tag @Shaz51 

I have had a busy day running errands. We went shopping but forgot to but petrol so came home, put shopping away then headed back out. Got petrol, went to local Beacon Lighting Store only to find they were out of the bulb we needed so we had to drive 20 minutes to get them. Now my salt lamp is back in working order. I dropped it whilst cleaning my bedroom the other day. I love my salt lamp. It gives a lovely ambiance. It’s egg shaped. 
I would love a cuppa thanks. Make mine a milo made from hot milk with one sugar please.

I'm soooo happy for you! @ArraDreaming - it'll be a journey and a half but totally worth it. 

I've got my sisters young kids hanging at my place. They are 2,5,7 years old. Handful, but so much fun. Absolutely worth it. The experiences are priceless.

It’s been a journey and a half already! @tyme bit a very exciting one.

Ooh yep school holidays. Thatll do it. How chaotic are 2 year olds?? ours has just stepped it up a notch and gone from a placid to little baby to competley chaotic toddler very quickly he only turned 2 in feb but wow just wow
Today he was riding his little plastic motorbike thing (you know the one every kid has) in the hallway with someone else’s underwear on his head. I just kept walking 😅

That is precisely a two year old.... scooting down a hallway with undies on their head.... @ArraDreaming - how priceless is that! Enjoy it while you can. 

As their language develops, they'll slowly begin to answer back. My sister's two year old yells at us, "YOU MAKE ME SAD!"

[ArraDreaming]

Oooh yeah ouch, insults from kids can really burn deep @tyme especially when the pull the emotional card.


My favourite thing about every day is that we play “bubby rumble” when I get home every night which is just me throwing them both around on the bed @tyme and the 5 year old now says “are you ready to rumble” to start the game 🤣🤣🤣 and it’s so ridiculous but so much fun! He has a broken arm now though so he can’t join in (not from bubby rumble!) so we need to find an alternative so he doesn’t miss out.

Anyway speaking of the children they are whining and I need to feed them. I’ll be back later.

[ArraDreaming]

I’ll be back for a cuppa later I think I want a relaxing hot drink after everyone has settled down, will you still be around then @tyme it’s so good to be back!!
