Just Say NO
Too many things I want to blog today so will most likely forget 95% of them as I go!
It's been a few days since I blogged but have been kept fairly busy. Saturday night I went to a Quiz night up at Ab's school while G watched the kids. I went with Mum and a couple of her friends plus another mum from Ab's class and her husband, everyone else ditched us at the last minute so instead of having a full table of 10 we only had 6 of us. Not to worry though we did quite well considering we were the smallest table there. We came 8th out of 17 tables so I thought that wasn't too bad really, it was the Sports Round that killed us! We didn't have a clue!
Monday was a pretty good day, spent the morning doing some bits about the house and then at lunch G came home with my Mum so that G and I could head into town to see an Allergy Specialist about the reaction G had back in February (see here and here for details if you missed it) He had some skin prick tests done ie they covered his arms with 35 or so drops of goo ranging from cows milk, peanut, pollen, canola, lupin, shrimp etc etc and then poked him until he bled on each spot and then waited to see what happened. In short nothing very much happened but they charged us over $200 for turning him into a human pin cushion. Our next step in the investigation is to buy another pizza and see what happens when he eats it..yeah now that's something I am looking forward to..NOT!
After the appointment we headed out to North Adelaide and had dinner at a super-yummy Indian place called Beyond India, the food was truly mouth-watering and the restaurant itself has been done up quite a bit since we last went there 4 years ago. It's actually moved premises to the opposite side of the road from what it used to be and is much roomier now, the food and service was really good and we used our Entertainment Book vouchers and got 25% off so even better. We then got really decadent and popped next door into a nice cafe there and had a huge slice of rich chocolate mudcake with some type of nut through..couldn't decide whether it was hazelnut or walnut but it was extremely yummy just the same!
Only other thing going on here now is the twins have decided to say NO to daytime naps..I am not ready for this step at all. I still really feel like I need that break in the middle of the day to gear up for the afternoon rush, but Joe keeps jumping into bed with Scar and they end up playing toys which is okay for a while but then it all gets physical and argumentative and one or both ends up in tears. Of course by 5pm they are both cranky and over tired so it's going to mean some changes around here if they are truly going to give up naptime but I think I may try and fight it a bit longer and at least see if we can get naptime back..I don't like my chances after 5 days straight of missed naps. I should try to look at the bright side, now we can go out on day trips etc more and not have to make sure we are home in time for naps!
