Niall and Aneta were both born on the 13th. Thanks soooo much for that Nic! :)
Julie: LOL I did contemplate adding "the chaps bits" but... well they just aren't terribly aesthetic are they! ROFL
MEL I would have bought it from either Coles or our local IGA.... can't recall... it was about $4 - $5.... good value... made about 28 biscuits.
thanks Bath, i thought they were the 13th but JIC didnt wanna get it wrong! cause your DD is 23rd dec isnt it or 3rd dec? I remember there is a 3 thing running in your family.
Correct Nic :) Nothing wrong with your memory! Verity is the 23rd, Wade is the 3rd. I just love the symmetry... or the trinity... or whatever it is! LOL
yeah its pretty cool i think Bath!
Remember that member who i think only posted once but she had 3 babies all born on the same day in June! and she was in "take that" mag too.
its funny cause my sister has 2 DD 18m apart they are Oct and April born
I will have 2 DS born 18m apart and hopefully April & Oct born!
the 2 april bubs are born 4 days apart and i am due only a week after her other DD so would be freaky if there ends up being 4 days apart with them also! (but 3yrs diff)
On the other hand my birthday is the 7th and Nixon's 17th, would be cool to get a bub on a 27th to run in the family! or DH is the 5th and if this one comes on 15th
ok i prob confused everyone what im talking about now LOL, bub we all know will picks its own birthday what ever date that decides to be!
Hi everyone sorry it's been so long but as you can all appreciate sometimes things need shelving for awhile while we do other stuff. It's so great to hear you pregnant ones are doing well and I want to give all our beautifull Junie Babies a big Birthday kiss. Mwwwaaa. :happyforyou: :happybirthday::confetti:
I can't believe that they are all, well nearly all, one years old already.
A big hi to everyone I have skimmed through this thread, Ok not going to do personals as there are too many things to comment on but just want to say.
hugs Amanda, how terrible, boys boys boys. lol.
IK yay for finishing your assignmets for the semester, woohoo.
Well my other stuff has certainly had me busy. Michael quit his job back in April to come home to look after the kids while I did prac. It was so lovely having him home these past 5 weeks or so, but sadly he has now left the country to start his new job on Friday, Phew for the bank they will be happy as we have sucked our savings dry, lol. His first pay is the 1st of July eeekkkk hope the credit card holds out, lol. It was worth it though and how many Fathers get the opportunity to be at home full time with their kids for five weeks. He loved it, He told me that although he knew it wasn't easy keeping house with 5 children he now has a whole new appreciation off me, he is soo sweet. Hmmmm he's not much of a house cleaner though, lol but an excellent cook. I will be cooking my first meal in four weeks tonight, lol. I took today off to drive him to the airport, so I will actually finish my Teaching Prac on Tuesday instead of Friday.
It has been fantastic, OMG I ... although I knew I would like it and could do it ...I didn't realise how great it was going to be. I can't wait to have my own class. My Host Teacher (who is 33 weeks pregnant) is fantastic and the kids are adorable. Bath if you get the opportunity, do it, it is fantastic. Ohhh Ik my HT is doing Hypnobirthing classes, it made me think of you. We have had a few discussions on birth and babies, it's her first, she's really excited. It made me a little envious. But I have made the decision that I don't and won't have anymore. I think I have plenty.
Well better go cook the tribe is starving and it is cold and wet, a nice hearty stew is on the boil I think.
Then I need to get in and finish off my planning for tomorrow and have my resources finished. I still have three assignments due the 14, 15 and the 18 of June. Still very busy. Can't wait for holiday's.
Hi Dee, yes it's going to be a party in here for the rest of the month! Sounds wonderful that your DH was able to be a SAHD for 5 weeks, I agree, nothing better to establish a true appreciation for the job of Home Duties... I don't think my DH could do it... he needs the feedback that working outside the home provides, and the social contact... I need these things too, but I can wait a bit longer I guess. Yeah, I know the feeling of accomplishment when you succeed in running a classroom for a day or two... when staff were absent where I worked before I had Wade they would let me run the show and hire the agency (qualified) person to assist (they didn't know the routine, I did)... I loved the challenge of keeping the class atmosphere relatively calm and productive.... not easy with 25 three-year olds! Why is it harder for me to deal with 1 (Wade) these days is what I want to know?!!! LOL admitantly i do have a baby and a tempremental-nearly-teen to deal with at the same time but still... ah children! So humbling!!!
speaking of which a drama is about to unfold in the pantry regarding allocation of gingerbread biscuits... better go sort...
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY RYAN AND SAMUEL.
Nic Ryans was today, and I think Alexandra's is in July as well. What about Karen's Nathan. Congrats on getting MOTM, I wonder if any more Junies will get it.
Dee great to hear from you, that's great that Micheal got to be home with you and the kids for 5 whole weeks, it would've of been bliss.
Bath how did the drama go with the gingerbread men go, while I was at shopping I saw them there, did you also see the pinwheels they looked interesting.
Julie don't worry about doing long posts, I love reading them and wish that I could do it more often.
Well it was mine and DH 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday, didn't really do much, and it's my birthday on the 13th of this month, I'm secretly hoping to get the slow cooker that I've been hinting at for a while only have to wait another week. My boob isn't to bad.
I brought some tuna today wanting to do like a tuna salad if you can call it that but I don't know what to put in it, what I mean is like the one with mayo and stuff in it and I don't know what the other stuff is can anyone help.
I'm just waiting for the lasagne to finish cooking for dinner, better go for now, I'll try and get back later.
Amanda: fresh tuna? you could add similar ingredients as to a warm chicken salad: shredded cos lettuce, olives, cherry tomatoes etc... maybe being fish some thinly sliced fennel or some fresh chives? You could be adventurous and try adding a fruity ingredient like diced mango (I saw them on sale here... crazy time of the year for it!) or nuts...
gingerbread allocation ended in tears because it was too close to dinner...
now DH has just walked in the door after doing a 12 hour day....
Rory - PML big time with the description of Flynn - Osamar Bin Flynn!!!!! Told DH and he thought is was hilarious too!!
Nic - thanks for the list, will keep that handy now so many birthdays are coming up. We have absolutely no symmetry at all with birthdays in this house, they are all over place.
7th - DH sounds like he loved his time as a SAHD. Life sounds so hectic for you, don't know how you fit it all in. Its great that this new career has proved so rewarding for you already.
Bath - will check out Coles when I go to buy my nappies ($30 for a big box for those who didn't know) tomorrow.
Amanda - happy 3rd anninversary for yesterday. Hope dropping hints helps you get your slow cooker for your birthday.
Marley had swimming then I had a GF and her 2 kids over for lunch. The bigger kids played outside for a while as it wasn't too cold. After my whinging about Marley not eating the delicious tuna patties I made yesterdya - I take it all back, she at them tonight!!! I don't know whether they were a little too mushy inside for her and today they were a bit firmer, who knows but at least she at them (3 in fact!).
Nic, great work on the birthday list - Flynn is one on the 11th!
And happy birthday to our Junie babies who've had or are about to have their b'days :)
Gotta be quick - work tomorrow. Took the Feral to a play centre today with Mothers Group - was so proud of him cause I kid twice his size tried to push him away from a toy he was playing with and Flynn pushed right back and persisted. He ended up pulling himself up on the other kid who eventually got jack of the situation and walked off. Yay Flynnie!!
Hello peoples!
Nic thanks for the list!
OK....WE GOT THE 4BR HOUSE!!!!!!! and we sign the lease tomorrow. Bath, we are going to video the house for the inspection so if we move out we can show all problems! Make sense?
Jess: Yay!!!! Perfect sense! Make sure the real estate agency or who-ever get a copy of the video from the start so they can't accuse you of editing it etc. We took photos of the dodgy parts of this house when we moved in and gave them copies for the file. Turns out the landlord is lovely and understanding... but you never can tell with these things....
gotta get to bed... been up too late watching tv (the Robinsons ABC) with DH drinking Baileys and Whittaker's 70% cocoa chocolate..mmmmmm
Congrats, Jess! Long time coming!
Heaven - I can totally understand you being MIA, great to hear what you've been up to, the teaching sounds fun. Good luck with your assignments (are they instead of exams? I think I prefer assignments!).
Happy Birthday for Samuel!
Anneliese, the premmie Junie, is nearly walking and life is looking good for that little family back in Perth :)
Mel - It certainly has been frosty cold lately, but I love to rug up in my knits, so I can't complain about Melbourne, or my wardrobe would be half as interesting ;)
Amanda - had to wince about the pulling back story, Oscar went through that stage, and I'm sure he'll go through it as the other teeth start coming up, but so far, so good. I hope you have recovered (mentally as well as physically).
If anyone in Melbourne is looking for nice things to look at over the long weekend, the Belgrave Fire Station will have its annual Art Show on till Monday and it's free entry. I have to say in all honesty, that this year's art is captivating. Last year's range was ok, the year before less so, but this year I am very enthused! It's top notch this year - the pastels are awesome, and there are some great florals and animals.
Just back from brigade and Oscar did NOT fall asleep in the car on the way back as planned...grrr...still quite awake...
I know I've missed saying some things I wanted to say, sorry, but I have to deal with bedtime now!
Happy first birthday to Alexander! (Gabysmum)
Ifound the list so ive updated it! Amanda, Ryan was actually the 11th with Flynn, its all coming back to me i remember getting text msg's now!
Mel- whoops sorry i spelt marley's name wrong. My gf has a MARLI and i got confused.
Jess- congrats on the house good stuff!
Dee- ah i remember u telling us last time that DH was going away for a new job, thats great he was a SAHD for 5 weeks with 5 kids!
my DH has gone to QLD today for 3 days, then in a weeks time he is off to LA & Miami for a week, for a confrence.
Afternoon girls :) French music this morning then went into the city to have lunch with DH and checkout the Clock and the MYER Thomas Tank Engine table... Melbourne Junies know the deal... got two tired boys and a messy house... will pop back in and out if/when I get the chance :) Also met up with a neighbour... might be having a small party for Niall on his birthday afterall! After his injections! Is that asking for trouble??? LOL He dealt with the needles extremely well last time... any other June babies having theirs soon?
Sorry, no personals. Like you Bath, I just got home. I picked Oscar up from SIL's and he crashed...he was so floppy bringing him into the house, which was great because I have so much to read...then the bloody dogs barked and he was up[ - GRRRRRRRRR! There has been some verbal abuse directed at the dogs and some swearing, but I stopped the swearing because it was attracting Oscar's attention. DP's not home, but Oscar is happy enough squealing at the dogs. Little bugger should be asleep! He was wrecked! But he's rather play with the dogs than sleep and if they hadn't bloody well have barked he would still be unconscious. GRRRRR!
Hi i am new too this site my third baby Kailaia was born 060606 and she is living up to her birth date right now she is tugging on my top and screeming at me but it more likly because she thought she only needed one sleep today my other two are zayden who is 7 and mayleaka who is 4 so just thought i would say hi
Hi Tali! Happy Birthday to Kailaia for yesterday :) Tell us more about you and your family please!
OK, I let Oscar play a bit more, got some dishes done and now he's in the sling (tucked up nice and close). Might even leave him there for a bit. The dogs need feeding (this will generate more barking, no doubt) and I need to feed the fire soon. Dinner might have to be what we had last night (Smoked ham hock slow cook with peas, cabbage, carrots and pearl barley with red wine).
Bath - sounds like you had a nice day out!
Mel - How are things with your family? I hope the preparations are going smoothly and that you have a good funeral home looking after you - it can make a huge difference.
