Hi!

Long time no post!

Jen - Your place just sounds perfect being so close to the water! Wow! You'll have us all on your doorstep for a holiday soon! LOL! Yep - it's funny watching them run around the house and get tired! Dh said he doesn't want to get furniture for the room now - just wants the kids to be able to play in it! LOL - probably just as well as it will be some time before we can afford to furnish it! hehe.
In regards to swim nappies - me being the lazy person I am just used huggies disposable swim nappies...
Oh how funny...sorry, had to laugh out loud with the story of your dress going over your head - hehehe. I'm sure it wasn't funny for you at the time though...hehehehe.
Sorry to hear that Beau's having trouble with teething...
Gosh, I don't know how you do it without having a car! It must be so hard getting on buses etc

Mel - You'll cope just fine with 2! And Olivia will adjust as well! I really think it's easier when they're closer together from that perspective...I have a feeling I'll have more trouble with Louis now that he's going to be 3 (OMG!) than I will with Dylan - in some ways anyway...
Your welcome at our house anytime Mel!
Sorry to hear you've had trouble with Olivia sleeping...You must be super tired...we had a similiar thing with Dylan last week although didn't last the whole night! Remember the bubs are heading to 18m now so I'm sure it's time for some sort of developmental spurt!
In regards to juice...I don't generally give it - more of a special treat! He loves it though...I think diluted is ok as well...I think it ends up being more of a teeth issue if they have to much...constantly having sugar on the teeth is not good...

Kaz - LOL on room for the toys...I'm starting to get a bit nervous actually...was hoping they'd all fit nicely into the toy room but am thinking a trip to Ikea for some more storage is in order! LOL!
Yeah at laybying some xmas stuff - I'm getting so excited with xmas stuff coming into the shops!! (so are the kids - Dylan points and says Santa!) I'm not sure we'll be cashed up enough to go crazy this year - might have to add a few bits to our collection when they go on sale after xmas for next year! Being a ranch style house though now I'd love to get some lights up!
How cute of Pip to be sweeping under the bed! It's so cute when they help! Dylan likes setting the table and helping me in any other ways he can...

Kel - Sorry to hear your having trouble with Lily - I hope she's on the mend now - it can certainly be a juggle with the two of them needing you...thats great your mum was able to come over and give you a hand though!

Disgirl - Louis and Dylan are loving "cars" as well at the moment...we just got the dvd from bigpond movies and I'm not allowed to send it back yet (although santas bringing them a copy anyway!)
Yeah on having a great night out! Wow at your friend being due the same day - Cindy and I have our first bubs share a birthday and our second are 8 days apart but we're due only a day apart - very strange! LOL!
My boys love splashing water as well - I get them a little bucket outside with some paint brushes and let them "paint" the house or concrete...keeps them occupied for a while and no harm done!

LOL on all the fridge babies...Dylan doesn't bother with that but if I leave the pantry door open now he starts reorganising my cooking stuff shelf...I found a food colouring/food essence bottle on top of each jar I had just before...LOL! Maybe a bit OCD?? hehe.

Have just been busy trying to get organised (which I'm still not - LOL!) We're really enjoying the house though as are the boys!
We had a gorgeous day yesterday - the weather was beautiful so we had lunch outside and took the kids to the park and spent some nice time together...
Dylan is a little cheeky as per usual - he's starting to get really good at his colours - his favourite is purple and now he can say yellow...
Oh and I just realised a few days ago that Dylan has a molar through - LOL...didn't even notice...he's still only got 3 bottom teeth though - so he's up to 8 now...not sure why he's got a molar already and not his 4th bottom teeth but oh well...
They've been having lots of fun playing outside and exploring things!

For Kaz and Mel - I don't know if you're interested but I'm having a get together/Enjo party on Wed 29th Oct at 10.30am...Doesn't matter if you want anything or not but even just pop around for a play...Although Kaz - I assume you'll probably be working...the invitations there anyway!! Otherwise, perhaps we can organise another Monday catch up when your free and the kids can have a play here!

Ok...it's taken me all day to get this post done - and yes, I'm still in my pyjamas! Best got jump in the shower and get dressed - although I wonder now if I'd just get away with the day in pj's?? LOL! Chat later!
