I have finally got a chance to write something!

So, last Thursday was Mum's birthday, and we had lunch here, and my cheesecake turned out well. It wasn't very deep, but it was yum. We gave her a digital photo frame, which she loves, because she has been ranting for a while about how she hates digital photos because she never gets to actually see the photo - Dad puts them on the puta, and that's it.

Then Thursday night, J picked my sister and her 2 kids up at the airport at midnight, and then on Friday afternoon, Dad took mum out to the movies. While they were out, we all went over to her place, and met my other sister, her hubby, and daughter, and we got lots of food ready for a BBQ, which we then hid in the dining room, which has doors on it that we close because Annabelle (16 months old) gets into everything. Then my sister who came up from Victoria took her kids down the road, and we waited for my parents to get home. We made the boys go for a swim, as that was our reason that we were telling Mum why we were there. THen when the pares got home, I rang my sister, who came back, and rang Mum from the driveway, and was having a chat, and then said "hang on Madolyn wants to say something", and then pretended that Maddi had run away, and was looking for her. So Mum was on the phone waiting for them to get back on, when Maddi appeared in front of her. Mum was soooooooooo surprised! She let out this huge scream, and scared Maddi who ran away, which was funny coz Maddi is 9, and she and her mum used to live with my mum for a while, so she should have been used to Mum's crazy ways by now! Anyhoo, I was glad that it was all over, because we had been organising our surprise since about Easter, and the last time that Danae and her kids came up was February last year for our wedding.

So anyway, Danae and her 2 kids stayed with us until yesterday morning, and our house insn't very big, so Emy was back in our room, Danae and Maddi were on blow-up mattresses in Emy's room, and Marek was on the couch, and they just had stuff everywhere! So, now, it is my birthday today, and I am still trying to get our house back into order. Because we were out so much while they were here, i didn't do any washing, and have to do it all now. Bummer... Especially because Emy decided to be a spewer again, and spewed on all of my pants...

Anyway - Emy has been really cranky during the day the last couple of days, and quite clingy too. The only thing that we have managed to do to get her less cranky is to give her a rusk to chew on. I don't think she is teething, because she doesn't have the red cheeks, but I have no idea what is going on with her... other than that, nothing has really changed with us...

Question for the girls in warmer parts - Does your baby stink? The other night, Emy woke up in the middle of the night, and must have been sweating, and she really really stank! We are still only washing her every couple of days, but i think now that it is getting warmer we will have start to do it every day... mostly i think the stink is from her head... but just wondering if anyone else's baby is stinky too...

Shell - I don't know if I would give DD3 the same middle name, but maybe if you just ask DD1 what she thinks about names - she might come up with something really nice!

Ozzie - YAY on Oskar rolling! Emy has been doing it since 3 months, but the other night i was watching her sleep, and she was rolling one way and the other trying to get comfy, but she didn't have much room coz we just put her back in the bassinet while my sister stayed with us and she would roll one way, run into the wall, and then back the other way, run into the wall, roll back the other way etc - she did it a few times and still never woke up! It was soooooo funny!

Cass_Blob - Glad your party went well. Now to plan your wedding! I loved planning mine! Do you have any ideas yet of what you want? Or when you will do it? We were engaged for 3 years before we got married... Bummer about your car. I am soooooo sick of cars....

Caro - I hate Telstra too! They are so cheap and evil, that we can't get broadband where we live which is a relatively new area, and they are developign heaps more areas out here, and they won't be able to get it either, so to actually get broadband, we will have to move into an older area, which we were going to do anyway, but still, it just doesn't make any sense to me...

That's all from me now! I have to go and rest my fingers now, and make J take me out for lunch.
