Hey Celsie,
Is it a good recipe for Gingerbread cookies? Do you want to share it with us?
Yes its annoying when celebs come out and name their babies after yours, I mean I'd love to call my next son Bronx Mowgli but Ashlee Simpson has beaten me to it!:ROFL:
:rofl:
:rofl:
You girls are hilarious!!! I have to agree with Charly about Neighbours though... I swear they were reading our thread around the time our kiddlets were born. Not only did "Chloe" make her grand entrance, but you may remember there was a male character who took Sky away called... you guesed it! CALEB!!!
And... Seven has been looking over my shoulder too! My top boy's name on my list... Eli. And their new show is called... Eli Stone. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!! :rofl:
The gingerbread isn't actually that fabulous Sarah, but I'm far too lazy to go trying a new recipe out now!!! I got it from the "Taste" website, but I'll be searching for a better one next year. I actually think it's missing an ingredient, because after you add the flour it's way too dry and I have to add some milk to make it to a dough.
we should be demanding royalties or commission or something!! :lol:
:cheer:CHLOE JUST DID HER FIRST WEE IN THE TOILET!!!!:cheer:
MERRY CHRISTMAS MUMMY!!!!! :rofl:
Congratulations Chloe and Charly!!! Very exciting news!!! Well done!!! :hooray:
Probably won't get a chance to come online for a few days so....
MERRY CHRISTMAS JUNE MUMMIES AND BUBBAS!!!
Hope Father Christmas brings you all loads of pressies!!! Stay safe on the roads and I look forward to another fabulous year with all you lovely ladies and our one gentleman. :lol:
Yes Merry Christmas to you all, hope it's a great day for those little ones :D
Merry Christmas June Beauties!!!!
Have a safe, precious one full of sweet memories xx
To the pg ones - a big year ahead sweeties!! So exciting!! :hug:
PP - Merry FIRST Christmas to your little one!! :hug:
To those TTC - 1000 barrels of baby dust from me & my girls to you!! MWA!! :hug:
Soooooo looking forward to tomorrow as I watch DD#2 really interact with Christmas for the first time! She helped her big sister put out a nip of port and some cookies for Santa and a bowl of milk and a carrot outside for Rudolph! She even taste tested carrot dipped in milk, just to be sure ;) :D
Its almost 9pm and DD#1 has so caught onto Christmas that she isn't asleep yet......so mummy & daddy need to stay awake to wait for her to fall asleep so we can sneak gifties from 'Santa' under the tree!! Lol!!
Ok, off to watch carols now, love to you all!!! :hug:
MWA!!
Wow it's been quiet round here! Everyone must be out shopping in the sales!
Hope you all have a lovely NYE, we will be having friends over as we can see the fireworks from our place which is handy. I'm wondering if Lewis can stay awake for the 9pm fireworks and if he will really care about them anyway?!
Anybody got any resolutions for 2009? Mine are pretty much the same as usual, you know get fit, eat healthy etc the ones that last about a week :rofl: I do also want to move house and get pregnant so hopefully a big year for us.:pray:
Anyway see you all in 2009. Have a safe and happy one tonight!:dance:
Hi everyone
Hope you all had lovely Christmas celebrations and that Santa was good to all the bubbas (and the parents too of course). We had a quiet one at home, which was really nice. Diana's favourite gift was a pram for her dolls, which she has been taking out with her a lot recently. She also got a xylophone and a cute talking and singing phone from her aunty, so she has been having lots of fun. On Christmas Day Diana went to the bathroom, got the potty and insisted that DH put her on it. Her nappy was clean and dry, she sat on the potty and did a wee! :dance: We are so proud of her. She has done it again about two or three times since, so here's hoping that she will be ready for full toilet training soon.
For NYE we are going to watch the fireworks at 9:00pm. Diana has been what DH calls "nightclub baby" recently, which means that she has been staying up and going to bed at the same time that we do, so she may stay up for the midnight fireworks too (although maybe we, i.e. the parents won't even last that long...).
Hope you all have a great NYE, a fantastic day tomorrow and an awesome 2009! My resolution is to do some art every day. This year I bought lots of paints, canvases and craft materials, so next year I am going to use them. :pray:
Best wishes to everyone! :D
Happy New Year!!!!
Just a quick one, a funny one to start the year..... lol.....
I don't know if you remember my worry a few weeks ago regarding a missing game piece......well, we took the decorations down today, including the tree and we found the darn thing in the tree!!!!! To which DD#1 informs us that yes, she put it there!! She was decorating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wall::wall:
Would of saved mummy heart pains if she'd told me earlier!!!!!!!! Eeep!! :rofl:
ah but so happy!!
it just occurred to me that I can now say that DD#2 turns 2..... this year! :o
Sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was okay. Christmas morning with Caeleb was wonderful. Caeleb loved his presents. His favourite? A plastic contruction hat that came free with a Tonka Truck... :rolleyes:
Nevermind the $1600 we spent building that play area (which he does love too BTW)..but, as long as he's happy, I don't care!
Went and stayed with my parents for a couple days. Didn't end up going all that well. My Dad said a few hurtful things to me and didn't make any attempt to apologise, so we left early the next morning. I've not spoken to him since.
My parents come and stay with me every 4 weeks or so. Our place is like camp for them, so they can go visit all the grandkids (they live 2 hours away, so come back once a month for visits). Right now... I really don't want my Dad in my house. They're due back again next week. I want to call and say, go stay with one of my brothers, because I'm pregnant, I'm hurt by your words and I don' want you around, but DH says it's only going to cause drama.
My family life is a drama. Not DH and Caeleb. That is pretty much perfect, most of the time. THANK GOODNESS! It's MY family that is the problem. I got a text from my Mum telling me to text my brother for new year and see how my nephew's teeth are (he smashed four front teeth the day before Christmas doing dangerous flips on a trampoline). I'd already messaged the day after he did it and wished him a speedy recovery. I got four text messages on new year from people and didn't send any back, because I really don't get into it. I went to bed at 10:30pm. Apparently, my brother is hurt because I didn't text him back, so he rang my Mum to have a whinge. She's now insisting that I text him and if I don't it's going to cause major drama... and according to her (this is her standard line) I don't want her to have any family!
WTF? Firstly, my brother is 45... grow up! Secondly... WTF! I love how everything is my fault. Grr... I'm pregnant, very uncomfortable (baby is laying across my belly) and hormonal and I so don't need this crap right now!!! I just want them all to leave me alone!!! :cry:
Sorry for the vent... I just don't have anyone (other than poor DH) to talk to about this right now...
:hug: Celsie!! Ugh! Your family sounds like they need a swift kick up the bum, a flick around the ear and slap to the head!! Oh and then told to grow up for goodness sakes!!! This is the last thing you need love!! Vent away baby!! :hug: I completely understand as you could've been writing about my family :rolleyes: to which I began to speak honestly with them all and say either, "Between me and so-and-so so butt out" or "got nothing to do with me, not interested. Oh DD did this and this and this......etc". Oh and when I find out someone had been whinging about me to someone else, i tell the someone else to only say, "Well go talk to her" and then I contact the whinger and say if you can't talk to me, its obviously not worth whinging about :D I just don't have time for "Bold and the Beautiful" lifestyles, iykwim? ;) so have made it clear that I am too busy loving life with my little fam of DH & the girls and by all means, if others would like to come have fun then do......otherwise, you don't contact me. I just don't have time for family politics, seriously!!
Is it obvious?!?! *blush* :D
See me being me, I'd be calling and saying up front what hurt and you'd rather sort this out now than it be awkward when they come visit. Honesty and up front - but that's just me ;) I can be a bit too harsh sometimes, ooops *blush*
Thinking of you lovey xx :hug:
Bit the bullet today peoples - took out membership at the gym.... :o :o :o ....so of course had to buy gym clothes and.......... bathers :o haven't bought bathers in 10 years!!
Ahh just picture it now, Charlyfrog floppin' round on her lily pad & splooshing about in the water with her little tadpole (DD#2) Ah yes. Truly graceful.
:rofl:
Thank you so much Charly! *mwah* You're so gorgeous. I actually got a call from my Dad the next day after posting on here. Apparently my Mum had "words" to him and told him that I thought he didn't love me. I never actually said that... I think my words were... "He doesn't get me". Anyway, Dad called up all emotional, telling me that he's really sorry and that he didn't mean to say what he said and that he does love me and would be the first to jump to my defence if required. I accepted his apology, but I really am sick of the drama. I just want a peaceful life. Tate, Caeleb, No. 2 and Me... that's it!
Congratulations on joining the gym too! I had a membership for 3 months and someone (not mentioning any names!) would cry and cry and cry at the creche... so I'd finish my workout and come out to find a sobbing mess. I was actually really annoyed, because I said if he cries for more than 5 minutes, come and get me and they never did. So I got 10 sessions out of it and the rest went to waste. Guess it's good old walking and pushing the pram for me or nothing! :lol:
I feel SO rejuvenated since having Tate home for holidays over Christmas. I feel like a good Mummy again. I have energy, I'm happy and Caeleb and I are getting along better than ever. It's just wonderful. I hope it lasts! *sighs happily*
Oh Celsie that is so SO fantastic that your Dad rang!!!! :hug: I am so happy for you lovey!! :hug: MWAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! (*squeeze*)
That's a bit annoying that the workers didn't come and get you at the gym :rolleyes: This is one of the many times I feel so lucky to have a shift working DH, makes things so much easier.
You deserve the longest happiest sigh lovey!! :hug: :D
Hi everyone,
Where are you all? Busy busy busy no doubt.......
We are fine, took Lewis for his 18 month check today he is 13kg and 84cm now. I asked her about him waking at 5.30am every morning (goes back for an hour at 8am) but she couldn't really help and told me I should be happy he sleeps through! That told me then!
I'm going through a bit of a frustrated phase at the moment, just finding every day like ground hog day. DH has taken a new job which is Tues-Sat 10am-10pm so I'm on my own alot with Lewis and he doesn't play for long on his own and tends to follow me everywhere. Aaargh! I think with all the playgroups etc shut aswell it's harder to fill in the days.
Oh and I'm on month 2 of TTC, no luck in month 1. I'm already feeling like it will never happen without IVF. But we will see. I am even sleeping with yellow booties under my pillow! I mean obviously that will do the trick hey?!:crossfingers:
Anyway hope to hear from some of you soon
