Mothers/Playgroup ~ Outer S/E Suburbs Melbourne ~ December 2006

We will give it a mis this time, Tori wouild not sit long enough for anything like that! Next meet up hopefully I will be able to make it though

Kate and Rachel I am happy if its early or late. Alana usually sleeps just after lunch aswell, but can stretch her if there is something that keeps her attention and is fun for her. Either way I'm easy.

Maybe 10 is better then? or do you think earlier? I was thinking 3 or after wouldn't be good because people will have school pick ups??

We couldn't make a 3pm one as we've got school pick up. 10 would be better for us, although we may only be a 'maybe' to attend.

Well we will try for 10 then or 9:30 even if that would be better for you Kate, or is that too early for everyone?

I can come, but i wont have Madison, she is in childcare on thursdays.

There is a coffee shop onsite for afters but I found it difficult, as Dion ran around grabbing plates and trying to break everything. If you would prefer to come on to my house for lunch ( or just refreshments ) the offer is open. I wont come to the plate painting, as we did that a month or so ago with our playgroup, and I like to sleep until 11 on a thursday.
Anyway just a suggestion, as it doesnt take that long to paint a plate, and its a long way to travel for 1/2 hr.

Well 10am is fine with me and I'd love to come to your place Vanita so count me in :D Thanks for the invite *mwah*

No probs, just thought it might be easier on all mums and bubs to have a kinder to go to LOL

LOL, I know Jonah had a ball at your place last time, playing with all the kids toys.

Vanita I'll come over too and I won't have the big boys either because Thursday is their creche day.

Wooooooooooooo so the Thursday at 10am. So who is defintiely coming so I can book numbers? Girls with tiny bubs you could come and do maybe a hand print plate/bowl/mug?

Me and Jonah
Sammi and Caleb (will you do a plate for Caleb Sammi?)
Kate, Kelsey and Rylee (same Kate will you do a plate for Rylee?)
Rach and Blake (?)
kmh (Kelly(?)) and Charlotte
Lara and Alana

Its my day without the kids, i may even come down so i can meet you all... will see what my finances are like closer to the date... (fuel wise :)) Or i may bring the princess :) But i prolly wont go to the plate painting place, if i come with Anneliese, i dont think she will be very interested!

You don't have to do a plate. There is all sorts of stuff to paint, even a piggy bank!

The glazes are non toxic too so it's safe for the little ones to do hand or foot prints.

Gee Simone, you're keen to want to travel an hour and 35 minutes or so.

ETA: That's right they do have piggy banks, I might e-mail them and get a full price range.

I dont generally do anything on a thursday, and i figure it'd be better to get out and do something thanto sit around the house!! It'd be a nice drive :) And i may not be able to come, but i might... see how things go. I was thinking f heading down to Hastings for a night, so may come see you guys, then head down to see my gf or the night!

Ok we will be there, I would love to paint Charlotte a piggy bank, and to meet all of you.

Sounds good to me. Alana will really enjoy it!

Sounds like a fair lot are going to make it! I will be working so not I this time. Hopefully i will get to meet some of you soon!

Sorry you can't make it Cindy, hopefully next time :)

I will be there (if I can drag myself out of bed on time!!!)

Ok well I will book for everyone that is on the list and if anyone pulls out I will let them know.

I'll be there Bec!

Fabulous Sam :D

Ok well I have booked for 11 painters, so that's either children or adults painting for babies. For Thursday the 1st Feb arriving at about 10am, if anyone has to pull out just let me know asap so I can change the numbers for them :)

thanks for that, i will be there too

Except for Kate, are you all coming to my place afterwards ?? And do you want lunch???

I will be coming still Vanita, we can do lunch, I will bring something.

I did include you Kate and if you google Robert Gordon you should be able to find it. And there's a full list of prices up towards the top of this page Kate.

The address is:

114 Mulcahy Road,
Pakenham
VIC 3810
AUSTRALIA

I also asked about smocks. They supply aprons and the woman I have been corresponding with said that she can fit one on her 1 1/2 year old daughter if she ties it around twice and has it up under her armpits, lol. But she suggested that it might be best to bring smocks. I will be getting a smock as I know an apron probably won't be good enough for Jonah, lol.

Just wondering, depending on when the pick up will be, she said the things would be ready in the next week but I won't be here from the 6th until the 16th, would someone be kind enough to pick my stuff up if I leave the money with you?

How far is it from the train station to the plate painting place, and to Vanita's?? Just that my car has almost carked it this arvo,and i dont want to drive it too far... but im quite happy to train it down :)

If I had 2 car seats I would pick you up from the station, sorry! I'm not sure about the walk as I don't know Pakenham

Bec, seeing as I live in Pakky, am quite happy to pick everything up for you
Simone its probably too far, as Robert Gordan Is right on th outskirts, and my place is about an hr walk ( or 5 min car drive ) and all up hill.

Thanks Sarah :)

Anyone??

Alana and I are definitely coming.

Simone, like Sarah I only have one car seat or I would be happy to pick you up.

Its cool, thanks for the thought Lara. Im trying to see about getting my tyres done tomorrow so i can just drive down...

I was hoping you'd say that Vanita :D Thanks so much, you're a dear.

I wont be coming this time :( the only time i can get my tyres done this week is tomorrow morning at 10.30am, otherwise its another week...

Have a good day out girls!!

Simone the painting is for next Thursday, the 1st feb. Maybe you can still come?
