Tali - thats awesome that Kai is saying her first words! You are turning into Martha Stewart lol!! Spotlight had a big sale here last night, 20% off everything. Did they have the sale up there? The teddy's sound very cute and I hope the dresses turn out, you are doing very well doing it without a pattern. Don't forget to take pics! I have a sewing machine but an pretty hopeless at sewing - its one skill I wish I had with the amount of money I spend on kids clothes! I think its gorgeous that Zayden loves gardening. He will love having a vegie garden of his own. He can grow the vegies and Cheslea can cook them lol!

Nic - sounds like you have some wonderful support and resources around you and its brilliant you are using them. You are doing everything you can and you deserve a big pat on the back for that. You are a good mummy!

Bath - how exciting taking Sunday School, should we call you Mrs Bathsheba! Its hard trying to spend time on the computer with the kids awake. I try to do it when Marley is asleep and Chelsea is doing something else but sometimes she comes and asks me if I am finished yet! Hope you find some time to "sneak" on.

Rory - Chelsea loves salads and she was eating them by about 2. Marley is not very keen on lettuce but likes tomato. The wood fire pizzas sounds delicious, did you try Kelly's pizza base recipe?


Jess - how scary, I would have freaked out! I have only seen a snake once when I was about 10 and I can still vividly remember it. Good idea not letting the kids outside without an adult.

Amanda - glad to hear your foot isn't broken, that would make packing and moving very hard. Hope your application goes well, it must be frustrating having to move. Packing must be driving you crazy!

Hi to Julie, Maya, Jaspen, Tali and anyone I've missed! Hope you girls are all well.

My girls dinner on Sunday was fantastic! My GF bulldozed her house and built a lovely old fashioned weatherboard up in the hills. It is just amazing, so fresh and clean and NEW! It was so nice to catch up with girls and two of them have had new bubs so lots of cuddles all round. Marley's face is clearing up but she has a big scab on her eyelid which looks yuk. Chelsea has her ballet concert next Tuesday so things have been hectic. I had to rush out yesterday and buy the rest of the things for her (tights, make up etc) and she is very excited. She has photos Wed night, day rehersal Sat, night rehersal Sun and then the concert Tuesday. We will all be stuffed by then!!!!

Work today so I better go and keep working
