Mo - no didn't end up making any cards. By the time L went to bed, we had dinner etc it got late and I was tired.
I do think it's a bit strange of your MIL to get a tattoo at all (unless she already has some). Is M her first grandchild? Will Cookie's name go on her other boob, and then what about other grandkids that come along? Could look like a bit of an honour roll by the end of it. I would take it for how she intends it, that she's proud of her grandchild. The boob isn't so bad (I guess), just think where else it could have gone.......
Kim - hope Zach's eye gets better. Remember from last time many of you swore by the BM in the eye remedy.
Stinking hot up here today. We've had some rain and now it is really humid. So Kellie when you come up here be prepared for the heat.
Saffi - Tiera is getting 2 more teeth atm (another 2 on the top row) and doesn't have nappy rash this time and she's not even cranky like usual! Wooo Hoo! I must say the weather here today is beautiful... Much cooler after the atorm we had last night.
Kim - That is terrible they didn't let him see the Dr!!! I had to take T to Dr when she was 2 weeks old and they just told me to go and get her on my Medicare card when I could and they would just add the details afterwards. They're depriving a new born baby and medical attention! I would have been furious! (Maybe I'm just a cranky pants! lol)
Mo - That is a bit odd.... I agree that the tattoo thing is ok, but on the boob?! Hmmm I dunno, its just a bit strange. Are you going to mention anything to her before she gets it done? (or talk to Dh about it?)
Not a lot going on here. Just enjoying a cooler day, we had the strangest storm last night... The sky was soooo bright and was the colour of fire! It was that reddy, orangey colour like fire and was as bright as day, then after about an hr it got very dark an the lightening was constant for hrs, was still going when I went to bed. There wasn't a lot of ran or much noise.... It was just wierd really. I told Josh it was the end of the world!!! lol
Melbourne Girls I am really looking forward to meeting up. When Trish comes back I'll see where she thinks we should meet.
She has Phil's name tattooed on her arm & was originally going to get it under his name. That i thought was fine, but then Yesterday she decides that she wants it across the boob so you'll be able to see Madd & the ison will be hidden under the bra or something along those lines.
I just think it's tacky to get Maddi's name tattooed there, i mean it would be different it was her partner.
Saffi she banned us from having anymore Children as they will only hold us back in life & it's not worth it. So as far as she's concerned she only needs 2 boobs.
Tiff she really couldn't care-less what we thought about it, as it's her body & who cares if it upsets the us.
That storm sounds like it would of been nice to watch, been ages since we had a nice storm.
hey girls ... just a quicky as i am watching tennis and have been out all day ... so dont want to sit on the computer all night ... but i would be interested in the catch up 2 since i am in melbourne! we are moving the weekend of the 7-8th so depending on when and where i will be a maybe! hope your all having a great long weekend x
Pish - yeah I will be glad to put in some more hours at work and less time running after bub and DHs. LOL about Tiera playing with her friend. They are definitely too cute at this age although Caden seems more interested in birds, planes and dogs to worry about his playmates for the moment
Trinity - I hear you on the bad attitude. Caden has cut 2 molars and almost cut the other 2, but I think the eye teeth must be coming in because he has been so grizzly of late. Such a pain in the b*tt but I guess it hurts him more than me. It means he has a short fuse and gets frustrated really easily. I am hoping it is the teething and not a new "developmental" issue
Becky - We got a Ford Focus, the same as my lease car (I salary sacrifice through work) but it is blue. It is very nice and now that DH can do the drop offs and pick ups it is much easier on me. DH has been made redundant so he has been helping alot more with Caden. I musn't get too used to it though because he really should be looking for a job but he has hinted about being a SAHD! LOL about Chel eager to TT! They say girls are far easier than boys...
Melbourne ladies - I am so jealous that I am all the way over here in WA and wont be able to meet up Have fun anyway, I will be there in spirit.
As for us, I think CAden is teething again as he took an hour to get down tonight which is most unusual. He has been off his food and very grumpy and clingy lately so that must be it . Nothing much else going on, looking forward to showing Caden the fireworks tomorrow night.
Hi everyone! Thought I'd pop in while the boys are out buying soil for a veggie patch!
To Pish and all the Melbourne gals, a meet up on the 7th sounds great! I'd prefer a weekend too because then DH can come and help me with the boys. A suggestion from me for a place to meet is the Collingwood Children's Farm. We went there this morning with the boys and there is a little cafe there and heaps of animals for the kids to look at. There is an admittance fee, but if we just stuck to the cafe at the front then we could get away without paying it. If you wanted to walk around the farm afterwards then you could pay, it's $8 per adult (I'm pretty sure babies are free, but it's $16 for a family anyway). The boys had a great time there, they had a session at 10am where they milk a cow and Joel got to have a turn which he was very impressed with! They have pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, horses, etc. I'm not sure if anyone else is keen to meet there, but it's close to the city and really easy to find. Let me know what you all think or if you have any other pram/bub-friendly suggestions then let us know!! What time would you all like to meet? Should we meet for lunch? What suits everyone?
Dragonbub - Us Melbourne girls will make sure to think of you when we meet up LOL!
Karen - Where are you moving to? Hopefully you can sneak out to meet up with us!
Mo - I would be really weired out about the tattoo too! Oh well, I guess there isn't much you can do to stop her hey? And banning you from having any more kids??? She sounds a bit "odd"!
Pish - I love a good storm! I used to drive to the top of Mt Dandenong with a friend during storms and we'd watch the lightening go across the sky over Melbourne. It was really scary, but so cool!
Kim - How frustrating about that Dr! I hope Zach's eye is better today.
Saffi - K's got a tooth coming through atm too. He's been a bit cranky, but seems to deal with it better now he's a bit older.
Kellie - When are you leaving for QLD? Hopefully you can come to the Melbourne meet up!
Becky - I'm glad Liam had a good birthday! It's so scary how fast they grow up!
Amber - Happy birthday to your DH! I hope you have had a lovely time away .
I have been keeping really busy this weekend. I find if I'm busy I don't feel as cr@p! I have cleaned out our garage and cleaned out our laundry (believe me, that was a massive job LOL!) and rearranged Joel's room. We are making a veggie patch in the backyard this arvo. I'm glad the boys have gone out for a little while, it gives me an excuse to put my feet up for half an hour!
Mo - Hmmm not good... Your MILsounds a little pig headed like mine (if I'm allowed to say that?!) Below your Dh's name would have been nice.
Kaz - The 7 n 8th is the only weekend I'm in Melb sorry. I hope the move goes well for you... Moving isn't much fun, but when you're all settled in it'll be great!
Dragon bub - It really sucks when they're getting teeth. I hope Caden is feeling better really soon. I must say too Tiera LOVES dogs! She barks when ever she sees one hehehe its really cute. One of our dog's 'talk'... He has a happy bark n doesn't shut up when he's excited and he loves her so much the when she's outside he is none stop so thats where she gets it from!
Trish - The farm sounds fantastic to me! Hye you always seem to be cleaning... I really think I need to take a leaf out of your book. I do the basics - washing up, washing, drying, folding, ironing, floors, dusting, beds and bathroom, but go as long as possible with everything else! lol oh thats terrible and I really shouldn't addmit that either should I?!
I am bored out of my brains... It is so hot here I really don't want to go for a walk but I do cuz I have nothing else to do! lol Tiera is in bed atm and has been for the past 2 hrs.... She's such a good sleeper! Oh and she seems to be cutting another 2 top teeth, which makes 6 for the top, but only 2 on the bottom... Thats not normal is it? Strange thing is the bottom two have been coming up and down since she got her first two teeth! She hasn't been at all whingy or anything like she usually is so hmmm its all a little weird!
I must say the weather here today is beautiful... Much cooler after the atorm we had last night.
Have fun anyway, I will be there in spirit.
. Nothing much else going on, looking forward to showing Caden the fireworks tomorrow night.
