    D'oh! I just replied to the last thread and when I hit submit it was closed!

    Big hugs for Mo and Amber .

    Amber - Thank you so much for the thoughtful text the other night . I was so touched that you thought of me. I haven't been able to message you yet, I want to wait until I can type without crying! Woohoo for coming to Melbourne! I know of a good lounge room here in Forest Hill LOL! Otherwise, stay in the CBD if you can, it's central to everything. When are you coming?

    Mo - Amber and I aren't going to Sydney any more either, and neither is Willow. I have to go to a wedding in Sydney in May so it will be too expensive to go twice.

    Kaz - Glad you guys are well . That's awesome that you are helping the flood victims

    Ok i'm back with some more time.

    When are you guys thinking of coming down & for how long?

    Maddi has kinder orientation day Friday, she is looking forward to it, i'm just worried how she'll cope once Kinder starts because we wont be there & she is a pretty shy kid.

    Trish when does K start?

    Kodi is doing really well, talking non stop & she comes out with the funniest things & she has the most cheeky laugh.
    She really got that happy cheery cheeky personality.
    Maddi is becoming a lot more shy as she gets older, but it doesn't stop her giving everyone attitude lol

    I just have to tell all you girls what Max said the other day.....

    I was at Mum's and DH asked Mum if she could put the kettle on....Mum Said "sure"

    Anyway....Max pipes up "Mummy's make things, and Daddy's WAIT for things" OMG what a crack up! He is seriously hilarious! He keeps going on about farts and stuff now too...such a boy!

    Sorry to have completely missed the obvious Mo haha! Congrats again . K has a kind of orientation day on Friday for kinder. He had one last year, but this Friday is more of an info session for the parents while the kids play. He's so excited to be going, but I'm not sure what he'll be like when reality hits and I leave him next week!

    I'd better run, but *mwah* to Julia and Amber! BBL to chat...

    I know you guys are so slow

    My cute Maddi story
    I went to get my blood test Monday & of course Maddi is telling my everything i have to do.
    The lady was impressed with her lol
    Anyway we are walking to the car & our convo goes.
    Maddi- Mumma i'm so proud of you.
    Me- Why?
    Maddi- you didn't cry, your a very brave girl & when we go home i'll give you a treat.

    She is so cute & i love the things she comes up.
    Kodi always cracks me up
    She loves climbing on things and then yelling out "Daddy help me' I stuck" Then laughing when he comes to rescue her lol
    She walks up to you & Goes "I stinky" & waves her hand under her nose.

    Mo - Your girls are FAR to adorable, no wonder you went back for another . How are you feeling so far? Any m/s?

    Amber - Oooh, what's this about living arrangements??? Stop being so mysterious haha! What's it like getting a 3 year old into kinder/pre-school in QLD? I had to put J & K on the 3 year old kinder list when they were 2! It's so crazy!!

    Only one more day left of school hols for us thank goodness! I love having J home, but he is starting to go stir crazy now and he and K are fighting more. They need a break from one another! I went to a small BB meet up this morning at a park, it was really nice to get out of the house.

    K is going well, he's such a cute little guy. He's super-excited about starting kinder. J was teasing him yesterday calling him a baby and K said, "I'm not a baby, baby's don't go to kinder!" heehee, so cute!

    Alana is going great, she's getting lots of teeth all at once which has been a bit annoying, but most of the time she's cheery and happy. Today she was playing outside and saw a dried up worm, she called out "Mum, nake!" She thought it was a snake . I didn't even know she knew how to say "snake" (or close to it), let alone be able to identify one (well, kind of haha!). She then went and played with our dog and said, "Mum, doggy stick" and held up the stick the dog was trying to get her to throw. I said "Yes, it's the doggy stick, you are a clever girl!" and she replied "Yeah!" hahaha! It spins me out the things she comes out with!

    Anyway, I guess I'd better go and bring the washing in *sigh*. Love to all xxx

    So chicks......... whadda ya reckon about intruders sneaking back in??? I miss you ladies, i think i told most of you why i disappeared from this thread, but those reasons no longer exist, so thought i'd pop in and say g'day. I post in Mo and my March babies occasionally, but i'm pretty much just talking to Mo anyway.

    So are traitors welcome round these parts?!
