Good morning

Well Verity put up our tree last night and decorated it while I relaxed with a martini and watched a program on SBS about Angels. She did a great job. I've tradtitionally been the one to do all that but it seems like I can safely hand over the task to her... I'll pack it all away though no doubt. I've also been reading Nativity stories to Wade so he knows the true meaning of Christmas and doesn't grow up thinking that it's just about getting presents.

IK: LOL I know I shouldn't laugh either but that post about The Sapling Saving The Day was very well written! Would have loved to have been a fly on the dome looking at your DP's expression as he scrambled down to save Oscar. That scenario would have resulted in a fight in 99% of couples I guess... but you are right: screaming at your DP wouldn't have achieved anything, would have just upset Oscar even more! And if you'd yelled at him he would just resent you (because it wasn't deliberate) and not think about future safety of his son as well... so a fight would be totally counter productive. I'm trying to teach my DH these concepts when it comes to dealing with accidents in this house. Good work

Nic: hahaha... another funny story about you wanting a cast... have you ever broken anything whilst skiing? I've got real dodgey knees (broke one during a dislocation) but would love to try skiing... but you hear of so many snow related leg breakages i'm too scared!

I'll have to come back later... DH and DD at Little Athletics... boys need my help...
