My big 6 year old

Well last Saturday Ashley turned 6. We had a very busy day on Saturday and we knew we wouldn't get time to do anything for her birthday so on Friday I took her out by herself. We dropped the boys off at school and grandma's then Ashley and I went to the Zoo. We had lots of fun it was a beautiful day. We looked at all the animals she wanted to see, we had some lunch and an ice cream. Then she got to pick out a special present for her birthday. She had a really good day. It was fun to just spend some time together just her and me. i don't get to do that enough, spend one on one time with each of them. I think I am going to have to make a bigger effort to do that especially for Samuel and Ashley. Joseph gets a lot of one on one while the kids are at school.

So anyway we had a very busy week end with stake Conference for Church. On Saturday morning we helped out at a community centre at Gawler, then Adam and I both had meetings. On Sunday we all had our big meeting. This was when Joseph got sick. We got to church early so Adam could set up a few things and everything was good. We picked our seats, we were right at the front. Samuel was in the primary choir. We sat through the meeting and Joseph fell asleep on my lap, I thought this was a bit weird and thought he might not be feeling well. Anyway he slept for about an hour, then he work up went out to the toilet and then came back and sat with Adam for a couple of minutes until he started making a horrible noise. I realised that this was him about to throw up. Well the last thing I wanted was for him to throw up at the front of the meeting one seat behind the dignitaries, with everyone watching. So I scooped him up and practially ran with him out of the chapel and down to the toilets. We were lucky and made it in time. So the poor kid was sick the rest for the day. But he is fine now which i am happy about. I really hate it when one of the kids are sick. I feel really helpless, there is nothing I can do for them except give them panadol and keep them cool or warm.

So it was a fun and tiring and busy weekend.
