My Beautiful Boy

Today is Good Friday and we had a big family picnic this afternoon.  I have a couple of cousins that live in Melbourne and they have come over for the weekend.  My Uncle passed away last year and it was his birthday a couple of days ago so for my Aunty it has been a hard time, so she wanted to get the whole family together for a picnic.  I must admit it has been a long time since we have all been together at the same time. 

I guess most of them were together at my Uncle’s funeral but I unfortunately missed the funeral as we were travelling at the time and I was up the other end of Australia.

Anyway, back to today…..

Corey has been pretty good today actually, we have a few moments but overall he was pretty good.  I was watching him interacting with the other kids and he tries hard he really does.  I guess he did ok today but he just doesn’t seem to quite fit in as well as the rest of them do.  At least he did try today and there was no fighting between then all.  My Gran was there and she is 87 next month and she has 13 Great Grandchildren all of whom were there today.  The older five are getting to an age where they go off and chat but the youngest 8 had a ball.  Poor little Madison though, out of the younger 8 she is the only girl but I don’t think she cared too much she got in there and had fun anyway.

The funniest thing of today, was with my little one Lachlan.  Lachlan was born on my niece Alisha’s 16th birthday and they really do share a close bond.  However, Alisha is 21 now and she has a boyfriend who came to the picnic today.  Lachlan was not impressed, you should have seen him give poor Jason the evil eye – how dare Alisha have a boyfriend she is only supposed to love him.  It was so funny, he was hiding behind the tree staring at Jason and he was just not impressed one little bit.

Yesterday I had a really bad headache and I was really, really tired.  All day I just wanted to lie down and go to sleep but I couldn’t because I was at the Athletics Day.  This morning I woke up and my headache was worse for a couple of hours.  Once the panadol kicked in it was ok and is fine now.  Corey this afternoon toward the end of the picnic looked just not 100% and I asked him what was wrong and he just said he was tired.  When he got home he had a bit of a fever and a sore throat and headache, so I’m thinking that perhaps yesterday I may have had a bit of a virus and now he has it.  Poor boy, hopefully he will get over it pretty quickly.  He could really do with a big sleep in too.

Well that’s all for today.  Thanks for visiting our blog again.
Take care
