[Bathsheba]

Good evening Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Niall.... and Happy Birthday for yesterday too Amanda!. We went into the city and bought some wooden Thomas The Tank Engine sets for Niall (managed to hide them under the pram until we got home with Wade's help! He took them up to the sales assistant etc). Had a little family party today because last night the boys were too tired after the city and just needed to get to bed... so the sugar fix from the cake didn't stir them up before bed too. It provided a nice focus for the day too given that we all staying indoors with colds (DH and I) and the cold wet weather. The train tracks kept the boys very occupied while we watched our beloved Doggies win (AFL). How clever of you to remember that all my kids have a 3 in their birthday Nic! You are a wizz at dates... i'm a shocker.

Happy Birthday Lachlan! We miss you Dee!

Tali: I really hope you are able to retrieve those piccys! Usually when people say that that kind of thing happens to them some computer repair guy is able to find the lost files and copy them onto disk. :crossfinger: for you!

Mel: Hope you are having fun at your dinner and karaoke night!!! Go on! Be brave! knock 'em dead!

Niall has become even more verbal lately... just in the last week... he's saying, or attempting to say sooo many new words. On the trip into the city he would say the word for everything he knew: "window" "train" "trees" "man" "lady" and he'd mimic the recorded announcement for each station... "the next station is Jolimont" = "Oh-ee-mon!" And if I didn't say it too he would say it over and over and over until I did! The other passengers probably thought I was nuts. I really felt like standing up and announcing: "If I don't repeat what he says he'll keep saying it over and over like a broken record which is guaranteed to be more annoying than me repeating the word once!!!"

Ugh... nose running like a tap... (sorry TMI) better go find a Sudafed.

Tali that is AWFUL about your pics - I will get my BHL to find the email address of a mob who can recover data if you like.

Gotta be real quick cause I am using DH's $hitty keyboard and I am starting work tomorrow - YAY!!! I am really looking forward to it but had lots to organise

Flynnie is still a bit sad and clingy but no longer coughing or super-snotty. Ollie has bronchialitis and an ear infection (typical second time mum - I didn't even notice and thought he was ok when I took him to the docs ) but both are feeling better now. My doc was great, he didn't even prescribe antibiotics, which is unusual for a GP, I reckon.

Anyway, best go - will post about job later in week

ciao bellas

Well after yesterday not been able to get on this site at all I am glad to see it seems to working today...

Rory that would be great if you could get me that email address, I am so glad the boys are getting better... How's work ?

well not too much to talk about todays BHL has his medical today so if he passes that then hopeful he will get the job.. but it will mean that he will have to start fly in and out again but right now with him coming home only an hour before the kids go to bed and has to work on the weekends he will see them more when he has the weeks off....

HEY A BIG Happy Birthday to Marley, Oscar and Nathan, Yippee for you, you are now two.
Lol Bath Nathan is the same, but I get the tapping and mum, duck, mum...Duck, yes Nathan ...Duck. Lol I love this age they are so funny. Happy Buirthday for the other day Niall.
Ohhh Tali finger's crossed for you and those photos. I think that is the reason I have so many online photo album places and I love my external hard drive.....although I haven't backed up in a while....hmmmmm I think I'll do that tonight.
Hello Ali, great to here from you

Hugs and kisses to everyone
Cheers
Dee

EDIT: Yay it worked. I've been trying to write a reply for a couple of days but haven't been able to post.
Glad everyone is well, I'm on my way out for my Ladies Morning with a few girls, it's really fun. I'm loving having Sara in our home, the kids love her and she is a huge help. I still feel guilty sitting here while she cleans and looks after the younger three but I have to remember that I am paying her to do that and when I step in it is telling her I don't trust her to do it right. So I try to hold back, unless it is something that I don't like. Better go,
Happy Birthday to the Junie babies I have missed these past few days. Nathan got a tool kit, bowling ball set and a cute dump truck with big balls in it and tonight we will have a Black Forest Cake for desert.
Weather today is cold and foggy. I'll add pics to facebook later today.

Happy Birthday Nathan, Oscar and Marley I hope that you all have a wonderful birthday, and lots of cake .

Well I've just got over a stomach bug that last 3 days and had me vomitting, DH didn't really remember my birthday he thought it was the next day so I wasn't to happy, I told him next year he better make up for this year. Dinner with friends was nice tho as was the bbq the next day so that kind of made up for it.

Better go put on a load of washing.

hugs xoo

Happy Birthday the 19'ers, Nathan, Marley and Oscar!!
Happy Birthday, too, to Niall, Flynn and the other birthdays I've missed for keeping my head down, bum up!
There has been a lot going on IRL and I've been very scarce on BB.
Today, Oscar is in childcare for only half the day (don't care that I have to pay the full day!) and then we'll go shopping for a drill. His trike is on its way from Sydney (eBay seller) and he got my sister's present this morning of a wooden digger (yay!) and a set of Spanish flash cards (he couldn't care less yet!). We have swimming tonight, then home for a cake of some sort. Tomorrow night dinner with my parents when they come from the country, then Sunday a very small BBQ affair (not even brigade people!!).
Today, the day he turned two, we also switched on his 'fart' humour - he now says fart in Spanish and giggles when I make a fart sound with my mouth - bliss...I think...
Gotta go again, I'm at uni. Special thoughts to those of us who have been parents for two years today (not to discriminate against those with older kids ) - we've done all right, huh? Survived and everything!

Happy 2nd Birthday my little muchkin!!!

Happy birthday also to Oscar and Nathan - LOL Maya, the 19ers!!!

Marley is at day care today, DH dropped her off with a yummy freddo frog icecream cake!!! DH is working tonight, so Chelsea and I will be singing Happy birthday with donuts and candles!!!! Proper family party on Saturday night. Two years has certainly gone very fast.

Dee - enjoy your black forest cake, yum! Hopefully Sara understands that you haven't had to do this before and this is new to you. I'm sure you will enjoy it more as you get to know each other better. Put those feet up!!!

Amanda - DH owes you big time next and don't you let him forget it. A stomach bug, you poor thing. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Maya - PML about the fart sounds!!! Typical male LOL!!!! Sounds like Oscar got some good pressies.

Thanks for Marley's birthday wishes. This time 2 years ago, she would have been just over 12 hours old. Boy time flies but what a wonderful time it has been. I hope she enjoys her icecream cake today at day care. DH bought some donuts for the girls tonight so we can put candles in those. I am making her a cake for Saturday but still have no idea what I am making yet??? I am just having family and one friend over for a late atea and any one who wants to stay for dinner is welcome (Thai takeaway is looking good for dinner!!). I still haven't bought anything for her birthday either, another thing that is stumping me, is that awful? Leaving early today, so better get moving.

BTW - Rory, how is the first week going?
