Welcome Sarah and Simone!
We get together quite often so I'm sure there will be a meet up in the new year if you can't make this one.
Simone the train comes here, it's over an hour trip though (curse that stopping all stations!)
An hour on the train wont be too bad, i catch it from essendon over this side, thats 15mins into flinders st, then down your way... would take as long as sitting in traffic all day!! And the boys love the train. I was thinking about just coming along this week, but then remembered i have a ct scan on my wrist at the melbourne, so im definitely out. Definitely the new year though!!
And Sam, do you have your hair in pigtails in your av pic?? very "coot" as Xander would say :D
hi, don't mind me....just posting so I get the notifications.....hehehe
*sneaks out again*
Im soooo gatecrashing you guys next year :D
Thanks for that kate, you learn something new every day!!!
ETA Dont worry Danni, i've just warned them of that too LOL!! Love your belly, you're looking great!!
Well I nominated my house to have the meet after Chrissy and I am in Cranbourne West, so if everyone is happy to come here, I am happy to have it here :D
Does the train come down near your place Bec?? i like public transport, hate driving in melbourne, crazy drivers over here LOL
Yes near but it's a little bit of a hike with no path to get to my house. There may be a bus that comes down this way from the station but I'm not sure.
i may have to come on a day thats just me and anneliese, as i could put her in the HAB and it wouldnt be a prob. Or i could just brave the melbourne roads and drive... its a pretty decent drive for me though!!
Yep it would take an hour or so so get here, either way actually.
i just checked whereis, they reckon about an hour. Yesterday i checked for pakenham, and they reckon like 1 1/2 hours!! might just drive down, make a day of it (have friends in sommerville (sp?))
bec your av is gorj!! :D
Bec you are one hot mumma....a MILF as DH would say!!!
Thanks for that Kate....I didn't know you could do that...must clean up my subscriptions too, my little email dude is popping up every five seconds these days they way every one on her is caht chat chatting!!!
i dont bother with email subscriptions, i just go to my user control panel and do it through there... :D
I will be up for the new year, Sammi, where are we meeting this week
I have just found out today that i have to work this thursday so it looks like i will have to leave meeting you guys untill the next one too!! So annoyed but the money will be good to help over xmas!
Thanks Danni and Mel, thought I should update myself seeing as I got a new do.
Kelly not 100% on the location yet. Gemma spoke of a really good park on the northside so maybe wait till she pops back in again.
Simone I have got my hair in piggy tails. I was feeling a bit playful ;) Go on and get brave and drive will you! Honestly it's not that bad after peak hour is finished.
Cindy oh well guess the money is a good thing this time of year. Hope to see you next year then!
Bec You're looking spunky in your new Av!
Thanks Sammi ;)
Gee with all the people saying they will be coming to the next one, might not be enough room here, lol. We might be busting at the seams. If there's too many wanting to come maybe we should do an outing? Was it you Sammi or Gemma that suggested the plate painting? Maybe that would be a goer for our first outing for the year if the numbers are too big? What does everyone else think about that?
there is an indorr play cantre here at the gateway that looks okay for younger kids cos it doesn't get overload with boisterous biguns. I think it is quite cheap too cos it is a smaller independent one......just a thought
There's one in Narre Warren too, I thought the plate painting would be fun though, Jonah is really into drawing and stuff atm, (he drew on the lounge the other day and on my shopping list today, lol, little bugger)
uh oh...hide the crayons!!!! You need to get some of those vanishing textas where the colour diappears after a few hours or something...saw them in Big W the other day!!
It was pen actually. Luckily it's scotchguarded though and come off with no trouble. But he's defintely into drawing big time, not so much a few months ago but you cannot leave pens lying around, he will get them and find something to draw on. Actually he drew on the lounge accidentally, he was trying to draw on an envelope and watch t.v at the same time, small envelopes, t.v, pens, an almost 18 month old and an envelope don't mix very well.
That was me who suggested the plate painting at Robert Gordon.
It might be a bit harder now seeing as all the little ones are mobile now to keep them entertained once the plates are done. It's really not a place for cheeky toddlers (or 3yo's for that matter!)
Maybe plate first then we could go to the park afterward for a picnic.
Anyhoo what time are we going to meet at the park?
next year i would be quite happy to meet in a nice park, maybe take a picnic for our own kids or something. Money will be pretty tight after chrissy...
Hmmmmm, you might be right Sammi, it might just be interesting enough to keep the entertained?? We could give it a shot though and then yeah, a picnic would be good.
I was thinking that it would be towards the end of the month if that helps you Simone? But if you couldn't come to the plate painting if we decide to do that then maybe you could just come to the picnic?
That sounds good. Declan wouldn't sit still for the plate painting anyway, and Xander would prolly get abit bored by it. They are more the outdoors run around types, than sit and and play types!! Sometimes i pray for quiet children...
what time will we meet up and at what park
Wow you guys can chat! I will definalty be coming to meet you all in the new year.
The play centre at Fountain Gate is pretty good. I don't mind where we meet as William is a little small for the play centre anyway, but it is a good place to escape the sun and the heat.
Just a thought about meeting tomorrow.
Because of the forecast of 35 and the smoke haze do you think we could meet at MonkeyG?
What do you guys think?
i dont think i will be able to come tomorrow, both girls have tonsilitls, will let you know tomorrow
Whers monkeyg sammi...sounds fine to me...anywhere that doesn't have shops and the associated christmas bustle suits me good after battling the crowds today....yeesh
MonkeyG is off Bald Hill Rd, not far from the station.
Hmmm a quiet evening in here...wondering if anyone is going to make it now.
I'll check back in the morning.
I could never make it Sammi, sorry. I hope they all touch base with you and you have a great day. I didnt' know it was going to be 35 tomorrow - ouch that's hot!
I wont be attending either, Dions asthma playing up with all the smoke about, and way too hot to be away from my ac LOL
Oh well.
If anyone wants to, PM or email me raven@bellybelly.com.au with their number we'll arrange something. I've got to get stuck into my morning ritual (ie boy wrangling) or I'll never leave the house.
I'll check back at 10am.
I'll be taking the boys to MonkeyG next week on Tuesday 9th if anyone wants to join me.
Whereabouts is monkey g??
