Happy Easter everyone, hope you all had a great weekend.

Amanda - I'm loving your avvy too! Chocolate limts sound like a good idea, we have them in this house and for me too !!!

Bath - another ambulance call, you poor thing. What a comedy of errors. Bet there will be no more shoe throwing anymore. Glad the boy is ok, but what a fright he must have had. First aid course sounds like an excellent idea. I have done many over the years while working but I would probably forget what to do in a real emergency.

Tali - love the name change! School holidays have been ok so far, weather has been pretty kind to us so far and 27 tomorrow! We try to go to the park each day, wear them out a little or a trip to the shops for a babycino and see one of the free kids shows kills some time. I know what you mean about the pencils, but in this house its the markers (washable, of course!). Lids never go back on and I am forever telling Marley to put them back on. She knows what I mean, she just chooses to ignore me! Nice of the dr to keep you waiting so long, thats a bit unfair. I'm sure you just want to understand what it all means as I bet its very confusing. Good work on the dry nappies. Still not much progress here on that front.

We didn't go away this Easter, DH had to work most of it but at least had Sunday off. We went to Jells Park for the morning and feed the ducks and had a great picnic. The park was so busy with many families celebrating Easter. Both mine and DH's family don't really celebrate much which really annoys me. We did an Easter egg hunt in the backyard and Marley nearly spotted more than Chelsea. We have got the approval to build our new pool which DH and I are both so excited about. Construction will start in about 4 weeks and it should take 12 weeks to complete, so in plenty of time for next summer.

Marley has finally given up her dummy Its taken a while but its finally happened and she now tells everyone about it and that she is a big girl now and no dummy. If only her TT was as easy. We have tried undies quite a few times, but she just keeps wetting them and so far nothing on the toilet yet.

DH and I are going away for a kid free night away on Friday. Friends of ours (husband and wife) are both turning 40 so they have decided that instead of having a party, they would invite 7 couples to go and stay at a beautiful B&B in the Yarra Valley. They have booked out the 8 rooms it has and we are going up mid afternoon on Friday and come back on Saturday after lunch. DH and I have never both been away without the kids ever so this will be a real treat. My SIL is having Chelsea for the night and MIL having Marley. MIL wasn't keen on having both of them overnight - who knows why as both are excellent sleepers.

Well thats a long enough ramble for now LOL!!!

Don't eat too much chocolate
