We need to invest in some more sets of lights; and a bigger ladder this year. Last year we had no lights on the roof as we were all to scared to get up there hehe; its steeper (sp?) than it looks!!! The only way we could get up was to balance beam across the fence (flat top fence, only for like 2 metres) then try climb up, the roof came up to my hips when standing on the fence. I kept getting up to the getting on the roof part and chickening out. This year there will be a ladder involved and no balance beaming hehe
I'm excited about putting our train under the tree this year I bought it last year, but we had just had the floor boards done so was paranoid about them getting scratched so we didn't put the tack down, this year not so much LOL!!
grrr i so want a train for under the tree but DH keeps saying wait!! This year would be no point as DS into everything he shouldnt be so i think tree will be in a playpen so wouldnt be able to see anyway!!
Ooooh I can't wait to put our train up too, we got it on sale last year but it looked so dodgy as we had a very, very small tee.....just looked weird. We've always had a small optic fibre tree, but this year we are getting a BIG one with lots of decs & putting the train under it. Charlie loves it, he pulls the box out from under the spare bed any chance he gets!
My DF refuses to discuss christmas plans as he says it is too early. Id love to have christmas lunch at our place this year as I know I have it off (Im a nurse so often have to work christmas). My family normally make plans early and whave not had christams lunch with df parents yet (its been 5 years) and they live a 3min walk from us. If his parents want to do lunch this year I think I will have to agree, although his mums not much of a cook they have a sign in the kitchen that says 'dinners ready when the smoke alarm sounds' lol.
I have started a list of pressie ideas because family ask for ideas and I have no idea, Im also hoping having a list will stop me going overboard!
For those with bubs under 1 I found buying toys that might not be age appropriate at christamas was good becuase every few months I'd get a new toy out the cupboard. I also love to get kids books, I am now buying kids a $5 book instead of a card for birthdays.
My poor dd's ia not going to be getting too much in the way of toys this year as we have way to many as it is, and mum keeps telling me to save the money for when they are older and ask for something. We will see if I can restrain myself.
