Sarah, sounds like Zander loves the train set. I'm with Deb though, Tehya would've trashed it by now. His manners sound lovely too. Gee we have a polite bunch of kiddies, heres hoping they all keep their manners although I'm sure with all of us manner's nazi's they will. YAY on the fantastic sleep from Zander. How are the night time ones going ??

Deb, sounds like you guys had a pretty good day then all things considered. I hope you soaked those poor feet in a bucket of water. Buggar about the $10 balloon too. For that much I'd want to be able to blow it up and down a 100 times. I saw a wooppee cushion like my nieces have today, it self inflates. Was thinking of buying it for Tehya

Tanya, I'm sure te spider with it's babies are fascinating, just not for me I'm afraid, (quite literally actually) My 7 year old niece has a pet huntsmen, well she had 2, that was until the thing nipped her and she shook it ontot the ground and told the dog to get it... Lol at the Christmas tree's being cheaper afterwards, well yeah they are but I'm sure that's no comfort to the kids. Maybe you need to get a good one after Xmas for next year.

Fi, sounds like you guys had a nice visit from Bec and Eliza. Good girl to her for no biting

Well I think we are going to attempt the Santa pic tonight. Tehya was more than happy for Santa to touch her face and talk to her today. She was also more than happy to hold out her hand for her tecddy on the lanyard from Myres too. Santa was a sweety, he put one around my neck too

Finally got Noah's Piston Cup Raceway that he has been asking for. We were even looking on Ebay to get one for him, all of the shops have been sold out. That's him well and truely done. Of course I still have 2 laybys to get off too. Still need to do the adults and grab some more stuff for the big boys.
