Nic, it's great you are getting some sleep And yes, crawling and pulling up is a whole new world, that's why I'm just so extra busy ATM, Jake is just off everywhere and he's into everything and so fast! His latest trick is to open and close the dryer!

Re Xmas, we do the whole family/presents thing. We aren't particularly religious either, we just really enjoy the whole feeling of the season, and I push the message to the kids that it's a time to celebrate all the people you love and we always make sure the kids have something little to give because they get so many presents. To me it's so important for them to understand it's not just about getting presents, it's a time to share with friends and family and be thankful. Kinda like a cross between Thanksgiving and Xmas I guess.

Oh and Nic your sister is right, just one of many near misses.....lol.

Stacey, GL with the sleepover, LOL...sucker!!! I don't envy you there.. Ben has been planing his party for months now... As for Xmas I have one layby with all Xmas and birthday pressies almost complete. Just a few little stocking fillers to get and I'm done. Oh and to do/make something for the kids to give to everyone. I sound organised but I'm not really, lol. Never am.

Ok I'm impressed I managed a post TBH things are just crap here right now too, not something I wanna go into detail about though It's just frightening when DH is also showing he is upset and scared....makes me see maybe I'm not just being over-emotional. Anyway......

Have a great day ladies, hope you are all well and bubs are being good
