Sami - that's great to hear that Bailey's sleep was pretty much not affected by the needles! Hope that continues to be the case.....ironing...yucko! *L*

Meg - YAYY for the great sleep from Miss Coco! WTG little girl! Sorry to hear you've been up with the coughing fits but very thankful for you that Coco slept through them. Best of luck with the immunisations today, hopefully Coco will cruise through them. I love that photo of Maddy laughing & I too! Daddy was singing at her and she thought he was hillarious. Thanks for the suggestions on the electricity. To a certain degree we are doing that too because we put $100 a week for bills into my PILs accounts which accumulates and covers the bills which are direct debited. Still, it didn't come close to covering the bill last time when it was $650+! *LOL*

Sara - how long til you head off to Ohio (?) now? I can't believe you're gonna be gone 3 weeks isn't it? Is there any way you can check in with us to let us know you're still ok? Ok, I know nothing about USA geography....is Ohio WAY WAY away from those hurricanes that are said to be approaching? Thanks for the compliments on the photos, I love the outfits too. Good old pumpkin patch! If you ever see one you like, let me know and I can organise to have one sent to you from Australia! (Probably in the next size up for the following season! *L*)

Well, REALLY good sleep for us (not as impressive as the rest of yours! *L*), Maddy refused to go down to bed before 10:30pm (she fed until then, and had a tantrum at 9pm when we tried to put her down), but then slept through til 5:15am which was good for us. Brought her back to bed and then catnapped off and on with her until 9:45am. Not feeling well this morning thanks to this cold, hence the 'sleep-in'.

Ok, well off to have some breakfast while Maddy is occupied with her toys.
