So I made it through my lovely tetanus shot reaction only to pick up the next virus that came along. I have eaten SOOOO much garlic I am sure I am vampire proof for a year. Infact I have tried every granny’s remedy out there. This one is one of those nasty hold on for ages and beat you around a bit colds. The kids have it too. They are doing pretty well with it. Loads of “smelling cloths” (eucalyptus oil) when they sleep. They are crabby but coping ok.

The Summer is almost done. This has been a week of not warm enough for the lake. There are yellow leaves on the trees outside my window. I am not ready to let Summer go. It was way too busy this year and flew by too fast.

We hung out at the park yesterday. It was a lovely afternoon. I can’t believe the change in eq. He walked up to a kid he said he has seen about at school and they took off and played for hours. Then when they were to leave the boys had planned their attack on us to make sure we organised a playdate. It was very cute to watch and a little sad too. It seems like just yesterday when I had to hold his hand and not be more than 2 paces from him at a playground. He was such a crazy little nut but so shy. That shy boy is no longer here. I very much like the lovely wee man that has taken his place but oh boy am I going to miss my “huggleBear”. He goes through big changes right around his birthday. I am still in shock at just how big and grown up he is getting. I think I feel it more strongly than with zq as zq will always be my little guy, but pretty soon eq won’t want me near him. (already not allowed to get anywhere near to a kiss goodbye at school)

Ok I need to work out before taking the kids to gymnastics and Elite Toma. I am ready for bed already…
