sooo...we've been...busy?

Or maybe tired is a better word, perhaps. The three little pigs got colds last week and still are battling them. I think they are nearing the end because they are 1. Sleeping thru the night rather than crying because they have stuffed up noses...and 2. They are eating better, and constantly asking for food and 3. Acting their normal hyper, screeching, laughing selves. So yes, we are doing better...but still wiping noses every 5 minutes (or so) on 3 littles. :(

Anyways, everyone should know we had John and Sam for two nights...and we got no photos. They are supposed to be coming Friday again and possibly staying the weekend but whether I get photos...well, I'll try!

In other news, we went to Drummond Gardens yesterday afternoon. We won't be going again just due to the lack of flowers when you actually walk on the grounds, and the greek statues are just not very modest to say the least! But from a distance it looks neat eh?
Or perhaps looking out and away from them is the real beauty...fields :)

I snapped one of Daddy of course.

But I like him better with a few kids I think.

This pic was taken looking up at the stairs (where I took the first photo) yes it is a castle but not viewable to the public.

A little pond.

A beautiful funny baby.

Father and Son.

I should have taken photos of the driveway into the estate as that was probably the BEST part of the whole trip! It was a loong drive way with massive trees on both sides all along the way. Of course, the trees made a lovely canopy of leaves over the lane so it was very pretty.

But, we had to go home, and that is where my work began... :( Owen decided to spill his milk everywhere...but Amy was there to help clean up. :) They all had baths that night due to overall dirtiness.

And yes...the kitchen was preetty bad. Someone (child) turned the oven to broil/grill rather than the fan...and well, I had to scrape the beef pie's top off...anyways it turned out okay just rather a late dinner. (You might be able to see a bit of the "black" stuff on the counter. Ooh, but look theres cake :) a vanilla fudge cake to be exact (topping was a failure...but oh well).

And I had better give the kids something to eat. :)
