We brought the girls a cubby house today, We found 1 on ebay & after looking at it we decided to see what they would cost new.
Anyways we ended up finding a nice one. It's 200mm shorter than the 1 on ebay but it goes for the same price. Early next yr we are going to add a sandpit or flowerbed on & we can add a slide etc..as we get the money.
Maddi is so excited & now we have the perfect home for her kitchenette.
Hey Heather! I haven't posted in the November thread for waaaay over a year now. I hadn't realised you'd had another bub in August too - congratulations!!
Hi girls, sorry I have been MIA ... but as Trish mentioned we have been sick AGAIN! So over it ... thought we had seen the last of it for 2009, but not so it seems. The kids and I got hit with a gastro type thing. High temps, vomiting for 1 and both kids broke out in a rash that they still have. Apparently it can last up to two weeks, longer in the heat. Yay. But they have picked up heaps, so gotta be happy with that. But we missed kindy orientation and the playgroup christmas party because of it and I even had a cry over that one. I was soooo looking forward to getting out of the house on Friday, as we have been housebound all week. Kids were better Thursday and all was hunky dory, then Mia woke at 6 with another temp of 40 and I could not get her to keep anything down. Oh well, next year!
Other than that travelling ok. Got a lot of soreness happening with this pelvic instability and even have had a couple of nights where I literally could not get up off of the couch. It is really scary and I am just hoping that things go back to normal when I have the baby. On a big weight loss mission wants this bubs is born, which will start in helping me to get my body back to some kind of comfy state!
Anyway, I am sitting here in lovely silence. So I thought I would jump online and see how my fellow UTD friends are, give you an update and just relish in some quietness before the mad house begins once the rugrats are up!
Heather!
Mo - Cubby house sounds great, you can get some excellent bargains on ebay. The cubby house we brought for our girls was $100 and it was brand new, they sell them in the big stores for $250 plus. Yay. We are also working on making outside a great place for the kids, we have got them a swing set for christmas and their grandparents have brought them a new trampoline. Let's hope that the wind does not destroy this one, as it did the last one!
Trish - I cannot believe you are losing your big baby boy to school ... I feel your pain and Mia is only going to kindy. But I am sad about it, especially when at the AGM they were talking about the kids from last year and they will be starting school. I was like that will be us in a year ... sad!
Amber - Glad to hear you went out and had a great night, read your FB status updates, how was dessert???
Pish - Not long to go now till you find out if you are having a baby boy or girl, so exciting! Are you sharing?
Kellie - How exciting that you are having a boy! It is a whole new world when it comes to boys from what I am learning! Especially in the clothes department. What did you think of Pumpkin Patch? I didn't think they had much. Apparently there is an outlet store in Collingwood called Pure Baby or something that has great boys clothes, blankets etc! They have a website and they are a bit pricey, but their marked down stuff is really good. Check it out if you have time!
Willow, Julia, Amelia & Saffi - How are you doing?
:HELLO: to anyone I have missed.
Oh, an update on my 4d pics. We received them finally and were a bit disappointed with them. We only got 4 pics after the lady said we are getting heaps of great pics. Anyway, I sent an email and said we were disappointed in the quality and the dvd also has a song on it that skips the whole way and we have heard nothing back. So I have decided to post them on facebook anyway, see what you think? I will do it now.
Chat later girls, I hope that you have a great day. K x
Thanks everyone for the congrats on the blue bundle, we are very excited. T wasn't happy with the idea at first, but I think she is coming around.
Welcome happy mummy!
Kaz - I didnt think PP had much either, although its hard for me as I need winter clothes and all the summer stock is still in. I'll have to check out the other store you mentioned. Hope you are all feeling better!
Saffi - I'm with Mo on the vax thing, I wouldn't get it for myself so i'm not doing it to T either
Nic - that must have been scary, glad he is ok!
Pish - glad to hear all was well with the scan, sorry you didnt get to find out bubs flavour
Mo - dont ever think thats a selfish post! Thats what we are here for! I'm sure K will be just fine... hugs
funny story from me, T was asking for chocolate yesterday and I told her she'd had enough, so this morning when I was asking her for kisses before I went to work, she gave me one, and when I wanted another, she told me I'd had enough kisses! Cheeky monkey!
Thanks for the warm welcome! I didn't get back in as DH and I have been having some issues, but all seems ok for now.. Just a lack of communication..
Kaz - hope the family starts getting back on track soon. It is so hard when you have a low immunity from one bug, cause you just get the next one, and it seems never ending. And missing fun events really sucks!
Saffi - We won't be getting the swine flu vax for DD. DH and I never considered it for ourselves either. I just don't feel enough research has been done.. We put our Xmas tree up and DD kept shoving decorations just on branches, but she had fun. And it is the 1st place she goes when she gets up or we get home too.
Mo - the cubby sounds great. We are thinking of something like that next year when DS can enjoy it too. But my parents have just split up, so we are taking the swing set as neither of them will have space for it. So hoping that is enough for DD in the meantime. I hope your DD is ok. Fingers crossed that it was only a virus or something that caused it!
Nic - how scary?? That must have been terifying. I am always so nervous taking both my kids on my own. I only ever take them to someone's house, that is about the level of my comfort cause DD is so fast and is only 2.
Boomba - I can't even get DD near Santa,not even screaming, so unfortunately not even going to attempt the photo this year. Not to mention how high my blood pressure goes just thinking of going to the shops.
Pish - men and drinking.. Must be a special gene. My DH got so drunk at DD's birthday party (he managed to hide it till everyone left though), and was so sick. No sympathy from here, but he did agree to getting a plastic climbing frame for DD, so I held him to it, LOL. At least your friend made mocktails for you!!
Willow - thanks for the congrats on DS. Still trying to get used to it myself, LOL.. I know I don't have a 2 yr old boy, bbut we are getting DD an overnight bag with wheels cause she tries to steel everyone's when they visit, and just some kids cooking stuff, and undies. More practical stuff. She got so many toys for her birthday and the family are getting her toys.
Julia - I think the teaset sounds great for a boy. My DS will be playing with that kind of stuff. My brothers, all older, were given stuff like that before I came along. But my 2nd eldest brother hates his son playing with girly stuff. No idea why. They need to learn life ettiquette somewhere.
Kellie - your DD sounds so much like my DD. The things they come out with!
Hope I didn't miss anyone.. But I never do posts like this, so don't get used to it, LOL..
AFU - DD has been very clingy today. Not sure if she is coming down with something or whether she just picked up on the fact that I was going somewhere today after dropping her off to daycare. She chucked one almighty tantrum which she has never done there before.
DD is a great big sister and is so helpful with DS. Apparently she even went into the nursery at daycare today to 'help out' as her room was short staffed. And she is moving up to pre-kindy early next year too, if I get her TT by then. They won't move her up until she is trained. But I am no hurry for either. She went a few times, and now asks for a nappy again, so will just wait another week and try again.
