Well DH came home from work with the bug so now he is laid up in bed feeling sick. Ofcourse now the world is ending cause he is sick, whereas when I was sick on the weekend I still had to look after Jordan while he slept in (typical)
Went off to the shops to buy him some lemonade and also me some chippies. I had a craving and we had none in the house (shock horror)
Jordan woke up about 5.30 so had 4 hrs sleep which was great, he has settled for the night now so hopefully he will sleep well.
Off now to eat a bag full of chips LOL. night night
Tracey - playgroups soundslike it was a hit!! I am stil trying to find one that isnt on a wednesday. They all seem to be wednesday mornings which is crappy for me with work but the girl i spoketo today is going to get bakc to me as she thinks she might be able to move one of hte groups to monday so i can go too!!
Kristie- you poor thing, it really knocked you around this bug!!
Nikki - do you know if caroline will email saying if the girls got in or do we just have to check the target website and wait for the catalogue to come out?
Well i am off to bed, i am exhausted, tori has been crazy all day!! We went to the op shops today and i got her a fairy outfit for $3.50 and a hat for $1 and she has been weraingthem all day and running around the house like some crazy thing. i wish she would just sit for a minute!!!!
yep, at this age they don't sit still for a second....too much to see and do and figure out! Jess is getting smarter by the day. I bought in the swimming gear to take them swimming yesterday and as soon as she saw it she screamed and ran around laughing. She LOVES her swims!
I bet all the bubs are starting to come ahead leaps and bounds. It's amazing how clever they are at this age and how they pick up everything with no real effort!
Katkins - Our munchkins have changed so much. I know they will always be our babies so to speak but they are just growing so much now in every way, shape and form.
Benjamin had learnt the word no in the last few weeks. It's really quite cute how he does it. It's always done with the biggest smile on his face and it's one of those no's that is carried and said in a nice high voice. We ask him a question that is obviously a yes answer and he does the whole Nooooooooooo thing. I'll have to teach him yes. This week is different though. We've gone away from the no thing to the giggle thing again. It's where they laugh out loud and nod at the same time. He's just so cute. But I'm bias due to the fact I'm his mum...lol
I hope those bugs are disappearing in all you ladies that have contracted those nasty things?
cindy,no carolyn wont email to let us know because she is not informed.her part of the job is done.you just have to wait for the catalouge now and a cheque in the mail.

Feeling much better today! Just a bit tired still but not sick. Don't have my normal appetite back but at least I can eat!
I took Louis to the library this morning and he nearly died!! When we walked in he's just gone - books books! and didn't know which one to grab first! hehe. so cute. We borrowed one as there's not really heaps for this age but I think he gets bored with his own at home..
Finally managed to find a safeway with the nappies on sale! hehe. So I bought 2 boxes of newborns ready for dylan!
Nikki - I can't believe how well Harry is sleeping! Gorgeous little boy! Yeah at Corey being back at school! I'm sure he'll love being there as much as you will! hehe. I bet the kids had fun swimming!
Tracey - Bugger about dh...I know what you mean about the world ending when they're sick! hehe. Hope you enjoyed your chippies!
Cindy - Tori sounds so cute in her little outfit!! hehe.
If you're interested (and nikki) I have some gorgeous fairy outfits from the dance concerts. I was just going to put them on ebay for $5.00 each...
Caroline never told me about Louis being in the catalogue...I just signed up for the emails so I could check it! Hmm Louis still hasn't been paid yet either...
Kerrie - Jess sounds so cute getting excited at seeing her swimming stuff!! Louis starts his lessons again tomorrow! I'm sure he'll be super excited...
Melissa - Ooh all our bubs sound so cute at the moment. Hehe at him saying no all the time...Louis' latest is if you ask him "how are you?' he says "good!" hehe. Everyones loving it especially when family talk to him on the phone because he actually says something properly! hehe.
OK - Louis is up I better quickly head to the shops before I can't be bothered...
Kristie- I would love to grab some fairy outfits. I will pay you ofcourse! I would love one for tori and my niece.
I have never thought of taking to ri to the library but i'm sure she would love it too!! Great idea there.
Nikki - thanks for the info.
well my day at work is nearly over thank god!! Al has called me a few times today saying how psyco tori is! So funny, i had warned him she had been like thatthe past few days but he said ' i'll be right' hehe
Cool Cindy - I'll bring them for you too look at next time we catch up. They're really cute though and retail for about $25!!
Yeah - the library have toddler reading time starting next week so I'll try him out. It's free but I'm not sure whether he'll be patient enough to just listen...
The kids just have sooo much energy at the moment it's so hard to keep up with them! hehe. I don't know about you but every day Louis has more energy I feel like I have less! hehe. Running around with a big tummy doesn't help matters either....hehe.
Kristie, Would I be able to buy a couple of your fairy costumes (they'd make great presents for 2 little girls I'm currently buying a present for)? I know you didn't really offer them to me.... so if you'd prefer you can let me know when you're listing them on e-Bay and I can buy them that way. xx
Well I had an awful day at work today, I was ready to kill one of the ladies I work with. She is forever flying off the handle at poeple and this morning I coped it AFTER I had fixed up her errors for the past 2 days. I was ropable. Not a good start to the working day.
It got better after I went to hungry jacks for lunch and had their new summermeal with the icecream. I had flake in mine it was delish.
Krisite I am glad to see that you are feeling better. Its great to get your appetite back. I have pigged out since I felt better, prob not best idea.
Nikki We are all set for tuesday 11-1 playgroup, the lady just rang to confirm it all. Cant wait to see you all again. There is a lady due in a week there with her 2nd bub so Harry will be close in age when they get a little older.
Cindy Tori does sound like such a little princess in her costume. You will have to send some pics of her.
Melissa Benajmin sounds so adorable saying NO to everything. They really do make you laugh.
Kerrie Jess sounds very clever to recognise bathers with swimming. Good to see she isnt afraid of the water and enjoys a swim
Kirsty hope all is going well with everything.
going to empty the bath water onto the lawn now (oh what an exciting life I lead )
take care XX
ooohhh yes please,i would love to buy a fiary costume from you kristie.we didnt get paid for ages after chantelles comercial,dont stress,it will come.
nikki
Yeah of course Kirsty! They're for anyone!! I just want to make some more space!!
Tracey - Sorry to hear you had a rotten day at work...She probably needs to be put back in her place...grr!
Nikki - No worries! I've got heaps here so will show you guys.
When I get around to it I'll take some photos and email them to you guys so you can see if you like them or which one you want...
Urrgghh - after not eating anything much for the last few days I had a normal dinner...well if you can call a few chips, some salad and some chickpeas normal! hehe and I have felt bloated and yuck all night...I so could have thrown it up just from being full iykwim. I was too full to even drink water...I usually only feel like that after a 3 course meal! hehe. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon..so I can pig out - hehe!
I got stuck on the couch tonight watching oprah and then medium...I haven't sat down and watched tv like that for weeks...you soo get nothing done!! Might have to break that habit before it begins! hehe.
The Moderating team have decided to merge the July, August, September, October, November and December baby buddies groups into the one six month thread Babies Born July - December 2005. This is something we usually do once threads start to slow right down and some of the threads have practically no one posting in them at all.
You have been a wonderful group of girls and we hope that you will continue to post in the new thread.
