No real point to this post - just some random crap lol

I am hoping to have 5 mins peace this afternoon to write a blog post. My boy is in bed for an arvo nap and the girls are currently sitting watching Diego - a nice "change" from Dora. It's been a hectic weekend. Along with the festivities of Easter, my baby boy turned 1 on Sunday. It's been a pretty epic weekend, with his party being Friday, last minute gift shopping on Saturday, Easter and his actual birthday Sunday and a mini-birthday for my sister who couldn't make it on the Friday. I am finally just sitting here and relaxing without having any sort of organising hanging over my head waiting to be completed. We had a good party though. Little Monster theme for my "lil monster". I cannot believe it's been a year since he made his quick entrance into the world. I guess it's the same with all my children. My eldest is 5 - FIVE! I can't believe I've been at this parenting gig for 5 years. I think back and at just 21, I was still a "baby" myself! I have learnt so much in 5 years - become mumma tiger, succeeded in most things, failed in others and learnt that it's okay to make mistakes as a parent and even more so, it's okay to admit that I don't know everything. The concept was quite hard to start with. I felt like I needed to know all this stuff, that as a mum this stuff should come naturally and with no fuss. Hah, what a silly idea that was. Even 5 years on I still make mistakes, even if I've been in a similar situation before. I think it's life's reality check to make sure we don't get too cocky. Anyway, I am not really sure what this blog post is about, honestly it's more rambling and dribble rather than having an actual purpose so if you've made it this far congratulations =) Be back later on with some more random musings but for now, here is a pic of my baby boy at his party on Friday =)
