That's it for now.

I was just checking a friend's blog and was noticing that it had been a WHOLE MONTH since she last posted (tut tut). Then I thought I'd better check how long it had been since I had posted (only about two weeks ago, surely!) and it was almost a WHOLE MONTH!! (tut, tut, tut). Where do the days go??

Well, some of my days this past week have been spent painting. We went to Dubbo and bought all the paint for our house and thus purchased ourselves a lot of work. Paul has decided that since he has built the house so far, it's up to me to 'decorate' it - with the paint. Seeing as he is colour blind it was also up to me to choose the colours. After doing numerous sample pots I have chosen Dulux's Angora Blue in a half tone for the bedrooms - a nice pale blue. When I called Paul in to check out the sample I had done he told me that to him it looked pink. Hmmm, maybe I should paint the bedrooms for our four BOYS in pink!! Or maybe I'm the one that is colour blind and the paint really IS pink!! I'd better go ask Jacob what he sees, but that probably wouldn't help much as when we were in the paint shop looking for colours he told me he wanted his room painted "army" meaning of course, camoflage. It'll probably take a couple of months to paint the rooms, seeing as when you paint in conjunction with looking after four boys and feeding one of them every 3 hours, you start and stop alot. Is there anyone out there with some basic painting skills who would like a working holiday to Cobar?? Food and board supplied!

My parents were up this week for two nights. The boys loved seeing them and made some drawings to give them as they walked in the door. Their pictures are so cute at the moment - apart from the ones that Jeremy decides to 'bomb' by scribbling them out. (At least with Jacob's he draws the actual plane with the missiles coming off it so you can still see the plane at the end!). It was also nice to have my parents come as they saw Caleb when he was just born and can see how much he has grown. Talking of which...

Caleb is 11 weeks in that photo. Time does fly.

Finally, here are the 3 boys watching the Olympics out bush (notice the army clothes)...

Have a great week (or month!).
