Louis had his first full day at kinder today - a whole 2 1/2 hours! Michael just picked him up and he got to have a special ride home in the ute - It's only 1km away on back roads soI thought it would be ok as a treat! Dylan was feral this morning and was in bed by 11am!! Only had an hour sleep and wouldn't have an arvo snooze so I think he's on his way to being feral again! LOL!
Mel - Thats a good idea to set up some space in your shed! I'd love to be able to to p/t at peoples homes too so they can exercise while the kids are asleep/watching tv. Also run group p/t so that it's affordable for people - all the problems I see being a mum. Could even be mothers groups at their meet ups!! Anyway...
Big hugs to the girls being unwell...the trampoline sounds great! My boys love theirs...
Jen - I agree with Mel - your posts aren't boring at all! I love reading about what you guys get up to! Poor Beau hurting his lip. Yeah at his words though!
Yeah at getting some more work potentially!!! I'm such a magazine junkie...you name it I buy it (or used to read it!) The difference is your someone that could be in a magazine and I'm the one that just admires everyone thats in them! LOL!!!
LOl at oscars being your favourite day! I didn't watch it - saw a bit of the red carpet though (the best part by far! LOL!) I'm glad Heath Ledger won..not that I've seen the movie! hehe. It's funny in the photos on the red carpet that you pick up a lot on the wrinkles etc on the actors since it's in the daytime...I'm sure they'd hate that - they certainly have loads of make up on!!
Mel - Gosh...I can't remember what a daytime sleep feels like! LOL! Hope you get one soon!
Better go and get some stuff done - the house looks like a bombs hit it...we have now cancelled our cleaner - boohoo...Can't justify the money any longer...not sure when i'll have time to clean it though...LOl!
Oh no Kristie what a hame about the cleaner!!! I didnt end up getting one so the house is untidy all the time and the bathroom only gets done when I find the energy. Sounds like Louis had a good time and a special trip in the ute is good. Olivia loves her special trips in daddys landcruiser!!! I got about 5 minutes sleep on the couch while Olivia trashed the lounge. Shes not had a sleep so I have to make sure she gets dinner soon, then bath then bed by about 630 7. Is Dylan not having day sleeps anymore?
Hmm, I posted here this morning but it's gone! I'm pretty sure I pressed the right button, but with baby brain I could be wrong...
Jen, your posts aren't boring! Post away, we like hearing from you. As if any of us have exciting news (most of the time) anyway.
Beau sounds like Ben. Today I was ordered to "eed" the garden. Ben was pointing out the areas most in need of "eeding". Very helpful he is When Craig got home from work he was ordered "Daddy, up, EED!". Apparently I wasn't doing a good enough job
All this talk of exercise has made me really keen to join the gym next week. I'm dying to get some exercise and I have a wedding to go to in April and a gorgeous dress that I want to wear to it. Gotta get a move on if I want to fit into it again!
Bugger, terrible timing. Jared has been asleep for two and a half hours and just now is waking up as I get on the computer!
wow, Jen, your posts are great. A different life than I Nana's fix everything I find - maybe cause they are so big you can't cry & eat a nana!
Kris - wow at Louis' first day at Kinder, were there tears? Poor Dylan with his sleeps - cubby house would rock, Bunnings have some great sets you can add to with climbing walls and everything!
DG - woohooo! great growth spurt there! yay on booby juice!
Mel - home gym sounds good, wish we had the ability here. Wouldn't mind the time either. How funny on the trampoline!
Us - well, Pip's starting to sing songs quite well, found him sitting in his highchair singing "twinkle twinkle" with full actions. The CC has given him a teething ring to bite instead of biting someone. Not sure if its working yet! Horror night last night, Pip would only sleep on our laps, I left DH at home with Pip on his lap @ 6:30, apparently he stayed there until 9:30 ... ha ha ha ... about time it happened to him!
Mel - Bugger about 5min sleep only...Yep - Dylan sleeps every day - he's only missed 1 once I think!!
Disgirl - Nothing like a bit of motivation to get you exercising!!
Kaz - No tears at kinder - he loves it!! I've got kinder duty already next week so will be interesting to watch and see what happens...
I havent' thought about Bunnings for a cubby - might have a browse - was thinking just to get one off ebay...they're soo expensive brand new!
How cute Pip singing!
Dylan is trying lots at the moment - he loves trying to sing the alphabet and he loves Pink! LOL! He's always calling for Louis at the moment which comes out "ouis" - we read a book earlier and he surprised with knowing pretty much every animal in it. The biggest surprise though this morning was him doing heaps of a alphabet puzzle! I nearly died...it's so funny - Louis has always been good with words and talking and Dylan hasn't been to fussed but it's amazing how much he knows that we don't know iykwim? It's all starting to come out now though...he's a very clever little boy...(not biased much am I?? LOL!)
Wow we really got busy with the posts!! Great to hear from everyone!!
Mel, I would kill for my kids to sleep until 8.30! I don't remember the last time I slept that late! I was quite chuffed with Lily's 7.20 this morning...pity Liam woke at 6.40. Mind you thats 100 times better than the 5am wake ups we had a while ago! LOL @ Olivia falling asleep on the floor, how cute!
Sorry to hear you're unwell, I hope you all get better soon. Have yout ried to give Olivia some enliven or something similar, it helps the gut get healthy again after thrush, and is just good for you in general.
And I bet your house is nothing compared to mine at the momnet.....I just can't keep up.
Kris, woah! What a mega post!!
Yeah, thinking about the future does nothing for me! I try to think that it has to end sometime, but then I think 'WHEN!!!' I honestly thought that Lily would be sleeping through the night most of the time by now. She doesn't even do it one night a week. And she still wakes probably on average 2 times still. Then with Liam waking probably 3 times....I'm not a happy camper. I have told mum that it's just one night, blah blah...she even knows how it feels to be in this situation (or so she says) cause my brothers are the same age apart. And my eldest bro was a bad sleeper, my second bro a little whirlwind like Lil. Again, so she says.
You would think that if she really knows how I was feeling that she'd be a bigger help. I have promised Lil that I will help her all I can when she has kids.
Good luck wiht your thoughts on studying and stuff. When you do start you can come here and help me sort out my life, lol! I'd love to get a life coach to help me, but alas, they cost money....
Yay that Louis likes kinder! Lily loves her childcare too, she gets so excited to go to the point that I can't tell her where we're going until we're actually ready to walk out the door and go there!
Dis, thankyou for the offer of help, but I think you have enough to do! It would be a nightmare having my kids and yours too, imagine, two (almost) 2yr olds (plus Lil would probably corrupt Ben!), a 6mth old and a newborn....uhhhh, no! You'd go nuts, I'd come back and you'd be rocking in a corner somewhere, LOL!!
And as for eating with DH, well that's the only time we get to really see each other. I often am in bed by 9pm, if not earlier.
Jen, I agree, you're not boring!
Lol @ Beau and his words. Lily says 'cleaning' now. When ever I'm doing something like dishes or dusting she will say 'mumum keenin'. She is saying sooo much now and is putting her words together, like today she said 'Ooookay, lets go...play kids!' When we were on our way for her to go to childcare and me to work! Just waaay to cute!
Kaz, how cute Pip singing his songs, it's so lovely to hear them isn't it! Hope you have a better night with him tonight. At least it's Friday tomorrow...end of the week!
Ok, gotta go to bed now or I'll never get any sleep! Byeeee!

Hey Kel - Helping your kids out will be the best thing you can do!! I don't understant either people who say they know how hard it is and then avoid you like the plague!! Surely then they must understand how far a little help would go. My mums favourite is "well, you wanted them"...LOL! I think it's in some peoples mentality to have the attitude that "I did it all on my own and managed so you can to"...a bit sad really...
Big hugs to you...
It would be nice to think they sleep through by this age but they all have their own little funny ideas. Dylans an atrocious sleeper - he's up often 3-4 times a night - usually just for his dummy though so it's quick but still a hassle. Michael gets up to Louis and Dylan every night though...Ethans quite a good sleeper luckily (overnight anyway...) so often Michaels up more than me!! Poor bugger...he really is such a great help - I wouldn't be able to do it without him!
It is hard to think of the future when you're in the moment and your tired and drained...big hugs...I promise it will get easier though...just take each day at a time...
I'd love to help you out (when I know what I'm doing!) Most of it's done over the phone so you can be my guinea pig!! LOL!
Thats great Lily likes cc so much!!
When Craig got home from work he was ordered "Daddy, up, EED!". Apparently I wasn't doing a good enough job
