*groan* ...it's never ending... preparations for this party... have spent way more than I wanted to but it's just a traditional affair, nothing flash except the cake (made-to-order for 40 people at $137 will post a piccy of it next week). Just finished making the "pass the parcel" and the Jelly "****tails": blue jelly with two lollie frogs and those little ****tail umbrellas - kids love them, believe me LOL Wade didn't nap today and I've been constantly shooshing him off the rose gardens where he has been tossing the new wood chip mulch onto the paths grrrrr Now BooBah is on thank goodness!

You've all done such mammoth personals latley! I can't manage it... however it's great to see some AWOL Junies back in here: Bellasmum and Jo... oh and Nic: regarding the meetup: I'll be able to stop and chat for about an hour so try to come in I also have a MCHN appointment that morning so will be pushing it a bit with the boys but you're right; we've been trying to organise this for ages... we just gotta do it! I've got to make sure i have everything for the races the next day but I'm thinking I might just wear what I wore last year, stuff it, only a few people will know... and it's a gorgeous outfit that I have all the bits and pieces for... plus after spending so much on Wade's party I gotta economise somewhere!

Rolling over: Niall isn't doing it yet... his startle reflex is still very strong and I reckon he'd probably cry if he did it by accident! He'd push that lower lip up and howl with his little tongue vibrating in that cute way it does LOL awww mean mummy!

ok... what next? Gotta organise the party music...

ETA: oh and congratulations on your job Candy! FDC is certainly a better option regarding catching less bugs than at a creche... also if you have a good carer it's much nicer in terms of personalised care... I used FDC when Verity was about 2.5yo for when I had partime work. She seemed to love it. Just observe Ryan really closely when you drop him off to see if he feels happy there... and take it seriously if he is consistently unhappy about being dropped off there. Anyhow well done! I hope the transition goes smoothly

ETA again for Karen: no AF hasn't returned yet... another bonus of BFing... but my back's killing me!
