Thanks Jess
At least she's getting here today and not tomorrow...what a hot one it's going to be!
Mel - I reckon you'll match the cake pic and better it! Yeah, got some washing done yesterday and just couldn't bring myself to put it out, so today has been the day for that, as well as just reading...for fun...for the first time in ages that hasn't involved the middle of the night!
I'm really savouring these days because soon we will be freezing our arses off and then it's almost straight back to school for me
I bought a new summer hat today when I went to the chemist (ran out of the mini-pill...two or three days ago...), where I got Oscar another hat - two of his have gone missing and he's not a hat boy. So, now, DP and I are wearing hats, I have a hemp one in the car and I will be exchanging my Akubra (chrissy present) for one the right size and there will be hats on Mummy and Daddy for all occasions...little bugger!
He did a poo on the table outside last night, which was funny. I got to clean the table and DP got to clean Oscar, who had done a bit of smearing. Today, he pooed on the deck, so I cleaned Oscar and DP did the deck. I think I got off light again, cos it was less poo on his bum than a nappy change...hee hee!
Speaking of poo (charming topic, no?), I've got a temporary and more expensive dog food that is having great results so far - less of it and less smelly. DP is still not convinced, but I think it's the new dog food for us. They need less of it and our money goes to a smaller company that is Australian. I'm a happy camper.
Reading a great book, called The Breastfeeding Cafe by Barbara Behrmann - it's brilliant, and but for some minor cultural differences, could be about BellyBelly members! US women share experiences and the author kind of mediates with her academic and personal background in breastfeeding etc. A great read, whether you BF or not, cos it's about mothering - some women talk about the transition to formula, use of other mothers' milk, challenges, cancer in the middle of pg. Wonderful book.
Anyway, gotta organise dinner!
Did Tali have our phone numbers?
PS Photos with Oscar - touch and go. I can usually get him in an action shot, or about to get up to no good. I choose my moments mostly, and can get some good shots. I get better ones now with the camera on my phone than I did with my camera!
