i am happy to have a bbq if that is easier for everyone,we could all just bring our own meat and someone can bring rolls and someone can bring salad etc.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BENJAMIN AND EMMA FOR TODAY...WOW 2 ALREADY!!!!!
nikki
Hi!
I'll bring rolls and a green salad and a fruit salad?? I'll also bring veggie burgers and some sausages??
Chat later!
I will do the lolly bags for everyone and some chips and things for the adults.
We will prob have rolls though. We are not able to use public BBQ because of Jamies crohns, makes him ill.
Night allXX
No worries - what about some roast chickens then to have in the rolls??
Are there BBQs at the zoo??? i cant imagine there would be, cant imagine they would want people taking meat in there- i will call tomorow and check, i think they have portable ones they use??
I will bring dip and bickies in my littel tupperware containers of course!!
i think we should just do rolls then,much easier i think.
Well, we've had a big week here. I got to meet my dad for the first time on Wednesday. He's wonderful, and all about spoiling Benjamin. He's the kind of dad that I always wanted. YIPEE! Benjamin had his 2nd birthday yesterday. I got some really good pictures of him with his cake last night. He ate all the smarties off it, then was grabbing 2 hands of cake at a time and shoving them into his mouth. He must have known that it was coming, because he ate hardly any dinner. Today they are having cake at daycare for him, and tomorrow at his party he's getting another one. We'll be all caked out!
Happy birthday Emma for yesterday! Anyone, know what Linda is up too?
Kristie - You're all organised aren't you?
Melissa
Hi!
Melissa - Thats fantastic Benjamin had a happy birthday! You'll have to give him a big hug and kiss from all of us forum girls!! Yeah at meeting your dad and it going so well! Thats fantastic!
Louis was so cute this morning - I dropped Dylans dummy under the fridge and said sugar or bugger or something and he was eating his toast at the table and he's going - whats that matter mum? whats the matter? hehe. So cute! I don't even know where he learns this stuff from. He's also started saying bless you after a sneeze and we never taught him. I don't know if you guys know "the family guy" but he knows all the characters names - hehehe.
OK - so I'll bring rolls, a couple of roast chickens, lettuce, mayo (what else do you put in them??) and maybe just some cut up fruit then...?
chat later,
no bbqz at the zoo so rolls it is! i will get nicki to bring a salad or two
we are going to end up with truckloads of food!
Wow you guys are super organised! I doubt anyone is going to go hungry! LOL
Well, I am home with Milo today, he's still not 100% and I'm getting laryngitis again.
He has decided his new favourite thing to do is play-fall of his trike on purpose, and pretend to be injured on the ground, moaning and everything! OMG its so funny but I have to try not to laugh at him!
On the work front, I have an interview on Wednesday next week and got 2 other callbacks today, thought I missed the calls - I've rung back but have not heard anything yet - I hope they ring me!
Louis sounds so cute! oh oh I am getting in trouble from Milo, he wants mt to watch the wiggles with him! better go :)
kristie,you will not bring that much food,we will share the load,i will read back and work out who is bringing what.
nikki
ok so i have had a look.
nikki:
cake
fruit salad
drinks for adults and kids
plates,cups,serviettes,cutlery
margarine
tracey:
lollie bags
chips
kristie:
rolls
mayonaise
cindy:

so whoever has a small amount to bring that is not pricey could volunteer to get the chooks.
also there are things like party snax for the munckins because it IS THERE BIRTHDAYS!!!!!
any other suggestions?
nikki
HIya girls. Just dropping in to wish all the bubbas happy birthdays! Boy it's gone quick! 2 YEARS wow!
Hi!
Had a big day today at Christmas launch for TBS. Had a great day - the xmas catalogue is great and we got given free products! I took Dylan along and he was sooo well behaved! He didnt' sleep too much with the excitement but won over all the ladies with his cheeky smile! Mum looked after Louis and I missed him sooo much! I haven't been without him like that for a very long time! I'm such a sook!
Rachael - Bugger you're getting sick again - how cute is Milo pretending to hurt himself! They've got such funny senses of humour now.
Louis was asking "whats up mum" too...hehe. He's also taken to calling Dylan "cheeky boy" so maybe I say it a bit too much! hehehe.
Nikki - Well - I'll at least get 1 chicken!!! I'll also bring some veggie stuff too. I'll bring something nibbly as well then - some shapes or something.
Kerrie - I know! it's crazy! Happy birthday to our little munchkins!! Hope you're well!
I'm soooo unorganised at the moment - my desk is atrocious and I have heaps of stuff I need to do - for work and personal! Must get organised tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a sleep in!! I haven't had one in ages! then it's exciting stuff like housework and food shopping! Joy! hehe.
Sooo tired after my big trip into the city - hehe - must be off to bed - nighty night!
Hi everyone
Melissa So glad meeting your dad turned out great and how nice that he spoilt Benjamin. I bet Benjamin loved him. Wow, he is 2 already, time has certainly flown.
Rachel bugger about you getting sick and Milo still being under the weather. I hope your job interview goes well. Have you finished at the other job yet?
Krisite So cute to miss Louis. Its funny how we miss them in such a short time. I think its just normal, they are our babies still. Hope you are getting all the work you need done today and enjoyed a sleep in.
Cindy Hope the tupperware stuff is going ok. Whats news on the wedding plans?
Nikki you are certainly very organised for our weekend party. I am glad someone is LOL I am so bad at organising things. How is Grant feeling?
Well Jamie let me sleep in today, I am rapted. We were out till nearly 2am this morning so was dreading getting up at 7ish when Jordan decided to wake up. I got to sleep till 9am. It was magic.
We are having a lazy day at home. I have some housework to do but will get to it at some point LOL
For lunch on sunday, I can get a couple of chickens and some cold meat for the rolls. How many kids are we having total now so I can do enough lolly bags? I am thinking about 12 kids.
hope you all having a nice weekend
We had toris party today and boy did she get spoilt! She got some great stuff and she just loved it all!
I have kept the #2 candle to use on sunday and i have heaps of dip left over that i will bring, i also have loads of lollies if you would like me to do the lolly bags tracey??
So you want me to bring some cut up lettuce and tomatoes etc for the rolls? Im getting confused about who is doing what now!
alright, i must go - i am struggling to type which tells me its bed time!
I hop you all had a great weekend!
Will do personals tomorrow!
cindy you wont need to bring lettuce etc if nikki is bringing a salad.
hooray for solid poo! Just think, 2 years ago I never would have thought i'd be excited over a dirty nappy! I hope this is the start of a return to normal-cy and Milo can go back to creche this week. He's been asking to go, poor little guy!
I dont know what to do! I might have to give up tupperware already coz charlotte is rather attached to me and wont go down for al at night, she isfine with everyone during the day but at night its another story - she is probably overtired etc but he gets all stressed out and then we end up having a yelling match when i get home about 'how dare i leave him to deal with that' and then 5 mins later she will be happily asleep coz mum has put her to bed! Tonight i have been in and out since al got home and evry time i drive out the driveway she starts up and then i walk in the front door and she starts smiling and playing again!
Rachael - started the tonyferguson diet today and it is disgusting! I can stomach the soup so far (mushroom) and the shake this morning made me gag! I even made it with about 400mls of water! Have you any tricks for me??
i cant wait for sunday - i hope the weather behaves itself! meant to be 18 and showers!
which flavour shakes? I don't like the mango/pina colada/berry/english toffee ones.
I like the chocolate/mocha/espresso ones heated up. I make them with 15oml water, then microwvae for 1min on high, then top up with about 50 ml boiling water from the electric jug.
The only soup I could ever stomach was asian curry, but I'm a curry person :)
oh cindy,you really needed to vent didnt you,poor thing,dont give up tupperware yet,give it a bit longer and hopefully charlotte will get the message that this is what is going to happen and that is it,she will soon get the message and yes it will be hard to start with and harder for al but if you persist it doesnt take long for them to get used to it.
as for the zoo we might have to cancel?we will keep an eye on the forcast cos it can change between now and then and hope for the best,also can everyone please right a list of who is coming from there family and friends.
nikki
my list is
nikki
grant
james
corey
chantlle
harry
kim
glenn
tim
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOUIS AND TORI
Nikki my list for sunday is Jamie Jordan Sasha and me.
Cindy I certainly dont think you should need to give up the tuppaware. Maybe you need to let Al put Charlotte to sleep even when you are home and let him work it out with you there. She will get used to it I am sure. You could always do weekend parties only to keep it going and not do night parties. I hope Tori got rid of the grumps and enjoyed her birthday morning. LOL, its her bday and I guess she will do what she wants. :)
Krisite Hope Louis is enjoying today. WOW at him using the potty and wearing big boy undies. He is so clever.
Rachel Yeah on the solid poo. Its funny how things become fabulous all of a sudden.
Nikki How are your relatives settling into melbourne? Hope everyone is well. Is Chantelle next on the bday list?
Well Cindy if you have lots of lollies you can do the lolly bags if you like. I am not phased. I think I will need to get the chickens the day before as I dont think they will have them ready by 9.30am? I will have to go and ask them if they can do them special for me.
We were back at playgroup today and it was great fun. Jordan wore himself out so is asleep hopefully for a few hours.
Sorry I have to vent...... My dad has his bday yesterday (he shares it with my brother also). I am not speaking to my brother really at the moment as he has ignored Jordans bday and christmas last year so he has really upset me. I called dad to wish him happy bday and see what he was up to, thought we may go out for tea. He said they already went out for tea on saturday,....... I wasnt invited...........WTF
My mum didnt tell me cause I am not speaking to bradley... SOOO its still my dads bday and I should have been there. My family are so F****** up.
Jamie doesnt want them coming to Jordans bday now as they have upset me but I dont want to upset Jordan as he quite likes them.
SORRY its great to get that off my chest. I was quite upset yesterday but didnt want to show Jamie as he would get ANGRY.
Anyway, hope you all have a great day and take care

Hi!
Happy Birthday Tori!
Louis had a fun morning with his new bike and some puzzles and this cool toy that goes on the fridge and has letters and stuff. I also got him some new big boy undies and we tried them out this morning! Tracey got a message that he did a wee in the potty - which he did - followed by 6 - yes 6 - on the floor - that was in the space of about 2 1/2 hours so yes he is back in nappies. Obviously he is no where near ready! LOL! I'll give him another try in the new year! hehe.
I'm very distraught as my modem keeps playing up and sometimes I don't have internet for like 2 hours and then it'll connect for a minute and then go again - I can't deal with no internet! Thus I'm trying to type a super quick message to you in case it stuffs up again! hehe.
Tracey -Yeah on a sleep in! I had one Sunday as well and it was sooo nice - I even had a nanna nap in the arvo as well! hehe. Hope the morning sickness has eased off a bit for you!
OMG!! Tracey - Thats horrible...I can't believe your family would do that! They've done something like that before also haven't they?? I don't blame you for being upset at all...I'd tell them all to shove it if I were you - LOL...How can they think thats ok??
Ooh good point Tracey - I know the last night I went out with a party Michael put Dylan down so when he woke up he wasn't so distressed because he put him to bed anyway - iykwim?
Cindy - Glad Tori had fun at her party! Hope she has a great day today also! Big hugs - I guess you need to decide if the tupperware is something you want to do long term in which case I'd perservere...Charlotte will grow out of it in time...mind you - I know how hard it is - Dylans exactly the same and screams while I'm out at night. The boys just don't cope with it well at all...
You're brave doing a diet like that! I can't handle all that fake food! Good luck with it though!! Hope you find something you like!
Rachael - LOL! Yeah at normal poo! hehehe. Hope he's all better!
Nikki - Oh no - I hope we don't have to cancel! That would be awful!
It's just the 4 of us!
Michael, me, Louis and Dylan!!
K - must go - have a million other things to do before it crashes again!
Chat later - if I can!
happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you ,happy birthday dear louis and toriiiiiiiii,happy birthday to you,HIPHIP HOORAY,HIPHIP HOORAY.CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::

Hey there girls!!!
I had a massive day at work today and am buggered so iam going to make this quick and just say tori had a great birthday, thanks for all the birthday wishes! She got spoilt as she should have! and ate way to much junk food but thats what brithdays are all about.
i'm off, al isstruggling to get chacha down so its mums turn!
Well went back to dancing last night which was good. Having the 2 weeks off over school holidays makes it hard to get motivated to go back. We are cutting it down to 1 night a week though as there are only 3 of us that come every week now. That makes it easier though. I hope the class gets bigger next year.
Jordan has been playing with his new tea set ( a little girly I know) but he loves the one at playgroup so I got one from Aldi. I figure his dad drinks tea and coffee so it can be manly.... thats my excuse anyway.
Cindy I hope CHarlotte went to bed ok for you both last night. If you want to make the lollly bags that will be great. If you already have the lollies there.
Lets hope the weather turns out for us on sunday. a few showers shouldnt be too bad. hope you are enjoying the day, think I will have a nanna nap. I am knackered today.
Hi!
I'm sure we'll be fine on Sunday! We'll just need to rug up a bit if it's cooller!
Everythings good here! Had Gymbaroo today which Louis loved - he was buggered afterwards...otherwise not much really happening.
Oh - Dylans been getting on all 4's and rocking so I'm very nervous as I'm sure he'll be crawling soon!! hehehe. Cheeky thing - I think he just wants to chase after his big brother!
Tracey - Glad that you had fun at dancing! Louis likes playing with all things "girly" but they really don't understand the concept anyway...Plus I hope he's capable of doing everything when he's older including traditional girly things like cooking and cleaning!! LOL!
Hope you get a snooze in!
Chat later!
what age can the kids start dancing? from memory i think its around 3, as they'd have some understanding of the directions etc, be more co-operative?
I want to take milo to ballet/funk dancing..
Hi!
Rachael - I took kids from 3yo...although I had 1 little girl that started at around 2 but she was just so good at following everyone -she did really well!
Hehe - I want Louis to do breakdancing and hip hop - I don't think they start those until primary school. But you can always do a kinder dance...I'm thinking I'll teach kinder dance again when I'm finished having kids - it was always so much fun and so rewarding. The kids at that age are just gorgeous and get such enjoyment out of it.
Ok time for a vent from me....
I've been a bit upset tonight...I've been texting with my friend Tanya (her bubbas still in hospital) and she's having about 100 seizures everyday and has been diagnosed with some rare epilepsy...the poor little munchkin. Anyway, I'm heading in on Monday (Michael will be home with the kids) and am a bit emotional about it all - she's in the childrens hospital and I just know I'm going to cry when I get in there...
Then I got a call and Michael's cousin's waters have broken and she's only 28w p/g so she's in the Mercy now until she has the bubba. I know her baby may be fine and she may not have her for weeks yet if they can help it but there's still that worry there...
Just give your bubbas a big hug because we're so lucky that we have them healthy!!!!!!!
It just frustrates me that I can't make everything better and that people have to go through all this crap stuff...it's just not fair...
Anyway...sorry for all of that....
Chat later...
ordered the birthdat cake today and bought all the other stuff that was on my list.
me and kim went op shopping today,omg it was so much fun and i got some bloody good stuff,i will be doing that again.
my grandma has been flown to st vincents hospital after having a stroke,they are going to do open heart surgery on monday and she will be in hospital for 6 weeks.i am goi8ng to be busy running back and forth for her as me and kim are the only family she has.
my little girl is 1 for only 2 more sleeps.boo hoo!
nikki
Hi!
Nikki - LOl on the op shopping! Sounds like fun! So sorry to hear about your grandma...thats awful...Hope she's ok.
Yep - all our bubbas are growing up!!
hey guys, which date are the wiggles for, tuesday 11th or wednesday 12th?
Kristie, I'm thinking of your friend, and Michael's cousin. One of the girls at my pre-natal aqua class waters broke at 21 weeks, and she ended up carrying nearly to term. I hope everything works out for both of them.
cheers!
PS
second interview was good, I just got a call to say they are doing reference checks...i will be very sad if the next call I get says I don't have it..
mmmm i think it was tue the 11th
Hi!
Rachael - Thanks! Wow - thats amazing! Great news on the job - I'm sure you'll get it!!!
Nikki - Do you know what time the show was??
I think it was 1ish so we didnt have to deal with traffic getting in or out of the city. I'm going to see if it is doable to catch the teain in coz tori LOVES trains and i am planning on only having her with me and mum having chacha
