remembered a couple more things:
Mel, I got the shopping jeep from my mum last Christmas and I'm pretty sure she got it from House. Whenever I take it to Knox I refuse plastic bags and I feel good when I get home that I don't have to squish plastic bags into my bags bag. Yeah, it gets checked at Target and Kmart, but that's ok, cos I have receipts for everything in there!
The other thing. Oscar had his first outdoor tumble when I got home. DP had him in the beach dome and DP was working on something behind it. Next thing (and this is why I was taken away from my previous post the first time) I hear a wail coming from the back. Deciding that it was louder than an "I would like your attention, Daddy" cry I raced outside. By that time DP was holding him...and his little romper was covered in dirt and leaves...uh-oh. Dare I ask? Well, all DP would say was "he rolled". Upon pushing the issue he said he rolled near the dome. Looking over I said "He rolled down the hill?", DP says yes, I say "All the way down???", DP says no, so I march over to the edge (being that the dome was placed right near the edge) and pointed at a sapling halfway down this little, steep hill, asking "Did THAT stop him?"...ummm, yes. Oscar had stopped crying by then, so we both concluded that he was shocked and not hurt, so I laughed - bad mummy? Well, what was worrying going to do when the event had occurred? And he was unhurt...but with a face full of dirt LOL! Needless to say, DP has learnt a lesson in play equipment placement... Dee, things just seem to proceed on this very pleasant trajectory for you, that's unreal!
OK, something just happened now that almost had me giving DP his pressie early. The headlamp would come in VERY handy and I have to pretend that all we have is a crappy torch!
OK, I"ll be hanging around tonight, checking in
Dee - go Lachlan eating all his food! I hope Marley is that good when she starts her solids soon!
IK - so Santa was a perve!!!! Dirty old buggar LOL!!! Glad you got your photo done - and being for charity you don't mind paying. Can't wait to see the pic, wish I had a scanner to do mine. You wouldn't believe Chelsea came home and said "I'm really, really hungry"! Seeing as she chucked out nearly a full ice-cream, I told her she wasn't having anything else until dinner - she wasn't too impressed with that answer. Thanks for telling me where the jeep from - will have to investigate. Glad Oscar is OK after his rolly polly adventure. We need eyes in the back of our head now - at least he knows that dirt doesn't taste very nice. Did you get your new bras?
Well finally put up the christmas tree and it looks great, just need to add Chelsea's new decoration (she gets to choose one each year) and get one of the "baby's first christmas" ones from Myer (they are so cute). Chelsea was helping (if you'd call it that) and just throwing stuff wherever it would stay. She then asked "where are the presents", had to explain that Santa isn't coming for a while. Think I might buy one of the advent calendars where you open the window each day in December, she might catch on then. Starting to feel very festive! Taking Chelsea to dancing in the morning and DH is going to stay home with Marley - I get to enjoy a quiet breakfast!!! DH is working tomorrow night, I have a 2 year old party to go to, then a friend coming for dinner - we are making Garlic Prawns YUMMO!!!!! My friend is gay and he used to be a chef, so I can't wait, it's our signature dish! Will be stinking pretty bad by Sunday.
Nearly time for bed - it's cooled down heaps here and is now quite chilly outside!
It HAS cooled down, hasn't it? I bet tomorrow only offers more pretend rain, grrrr.
Yep, it's late - I've been in Oscar's room, rearranging furniture so that the portacot can go in there. It's a squeeze, but I got it in there. Now it shares a small space with a full size massage table, a chest of drawers, a toy chest, two antique chairs, a bookcase, a heater and an el cheapo box with shelves in it that I cover in a sheet and keep blankets in. 'Cosy' is how I would market it...
Mel, I got one bra and I've ordered a black one in my size so that when it comes in they will honour the 25% off. I was supposed to get 5% off the skin one I bought because there was a mark on it, but I think I chatted too much at the register (me? Never!) and she forgot (easily done, those registers are ancient and you have to do things in a certain order or you must start again!). Oh, well, it's 25% off alread and the mark will wash out. I LOVE those Lovable maternity bras. I now have a drawer with that style in 3 sizes - I have been fitted for them that many times and I have changed each time! Lucky I have not paid full price for any of them - just not my style to shop in that manner!
Sounds good to have brekky in peace...I have to curry favour with DP when he's home to get an entire breakfast in! Dinner sounds lovely, I LOVE garlic and we wouldn't notice it on anyone cos we're full of it ourselves
Hmmm, festive feelings, I should really pull out our decorations box and do up the post and the wood heater...and my magic wreath that I love (that DP hates cos it puts a hole in the front door, bah humbug!).
I have a couple of projects in my head that I want to knock over, here goes: make a neck support for Oscar for the car (saw them in Kmart and decided to give it a go), repaint a frame with a picture of teddy bears in it, do Oscar's hand and foot prints, finish my beading project, make MIL a cardigany wrap thing for Christmas, make me a summer feeding top. Ha! I'm dreaming... Neeny - I don't know what it is, but you may be right. I've thus far had good experiences, but I've heard the stories! Another girl that this lady knew declined to hold a baby that was doing the rounds and she said "I actually don't like babies, it would have to be a really special baby for me to hold it". What a d!ck! She musn't know ANY kids or babies to make a comment like that. Babies are little people, not a type of rodent. Not only that, the mother was right there and this girl was oblivious to the inherent insult in what she said. Some people just don't get it - babies are what we all start out as and I swear some people really forget that. They seem to think babies are something that some women have because they obviously have no life, no aspirations, nothing better to do. Anyway, I turned up late to this party cos I thought I'd miss the spiel...I didn't, doh!
Well, better go, it's really time for bed. The nappies are in a neat pile, waiting to be folded...at some other juncture but not this one!
