It's that time in my life....

.....that I've been dreading. Since the birth of the twins I've always thought of toilet training them with a shudder - I didn't enjoy TTing either of the other two, so thought double would be twice the trouble!!

Sorry for the dirty faces - they were having spaghetti for lunch when they felt the "call of nature!!"

Well good news.... it isn't!!!! In fact it's easier. I don't know if that's because my attitude is definitely more laid back this time around ( I had no intention of training them until they were 3, however they are ready!!) or if having 2 means that they only have to remember to go half as often because the other reminds them. Anyway I have been pleasantly surprised!!!! So far TTing has been a success. I had a laugh the other day when I remembered that exactly 4 years ago I was TTing Zai - I remember that the first time I took him out in undies was to the Easter flying in 2005!!!! - Maybe I should brave this one with all 4 in undies - or maybe not - that time Dave's mum was there to give me a hand with the many "rushes" to the toilets!!!

I must apologise for my slack posting this last week. Dave has had 2 assignments due (he's been doing a uni degree since before Ellie was born - think he'll finish hopefully before the next millennium!!! LOL) & he has pretty much lived on the computer whenever he's been at home this past week / weekend - this means I have to reduce my time on the computer - which I gladly do, although there's really nothing on TV to watch, so I've ended up going to bed earlier! (I know, I know, what's an assignment or 2 compared to blogging!!!!!?????!!! LOL - just joking!!)

This is a sample of our trit !

In other Sunnyside news - we sold our triticale!!! YAH Dave had dropped a sample off to a seller & we hadn't heard anything, so thought they may not have wanted any, however last Monday they called & requested to pick it up on Tuesday - all 25 tonnes!! Sadly I didn't remember to get any pictures, however it really was a massive truck that came & collected it (a B-double - I think they're called - I don't know truck lingo!!) Hope the dairy cows that are munching it right now are enjoying it!!

OK, so this is a dodgy pic, however I'd never seen inside a silo, so I had to put my camera into it & just press the button - this was the result!!! - completely empty!

So now we are planning in earnest for planting this year - in fact now the weather is cooler & we've had some rain it won't be long until we're out ploughing up the soil again!!! Dave is talking triticale again & some oats...... we shall see!!

You can see some of our neighbours have already started planting (that's the deep red soil you can see).

Hope you all had a lovely week & all the Qld mum's are enjoying your school holidays!!
