[nicole mckay]

good luck cindy
happy anniversary melissa and dh
we are off to a funeral today,grants best friends dad died,grant was very close to him.

[deancey]

Nikki Sorry to hear about Grants friends dads passing. I hope the funeral goes ok today.
Cindy I hope the meeting with finance people goes well today. Its always nerve racking when asking people for money.

Well we went to 1st playgroup today and it was interesting....... Its a church run playgroup however I was not expecting a prayer before the kids ate morning snack.
They kids played for an hour then everything got packed up and they all went and washed their hands (good idea to teach him hygiene). Then they all sat down to eat morning tea or lunch ( which I didnt know I had to bring, lucky I had a le snack in the bag). Jordan started eating and my friend said we had to wait till they said the prayer..... WTF.... They then sang this little song which was a prayer and then they ate.
After eating they did story time, which Jordan ignored and just ran riot jumping off the stage area (LOL I was so proud).
I am in 2 minds whether to go back. I am not fond of the prayer idea, although Jordan prob doesnt even know what it is anyway. I do like the structure as its a preperation for kinder/school. HMMMMMM what to do?
I think I might go for the term and see if Jordan likes it. He had a good time today, there were plenty of boys aswell which was good.

Hope you are all enoying your day.

Hi!

What a week! Both boys had swimming on Tuesday which went really well considering they both had to wait in the pram for each other to have their lessons! Dylan loovved it and was kicking his legs and putting his face in the water. The kids in Louis' class were so advanced (it's a 2yo-3.5y class) they were swimming on their own for a little bit and everything!! Wow! Louis has a long way to go but I'm not worried - it's just for fun!
Wed Louis had his first Kinder group. He had so much fun - it was really great. Lots of paintings hanging up on the wall already!
Today Dylan had gymbaroo - had a ball - and is now happily crawling through the tunnels that he was too scared to last week!
So thats it for us really...we're off to Phillip Island tomorrow for the weekend - woohoo. I'm babysitting my nephew Lachlan in the morning and we'll head off after Michael gets home from work. I'm soo excited. I had all these grand plans but I think we'll mainly just chill out at the beach (if the weather improves??)

Rachael - Wow - you had a huge weekend...Lol at playing bingo - mmmm now I feel like chocolate reading that! Hehe. I hope you have an amazing week away!!! How nice to get away!! Bugger that Milo's still waking up - hope he's nappies go back to normal soon...

Nikki - LOL!!! omg - how funny!!!!! What a character she is!
So sorry to hear you had a funeral to go to...hope you're ok.

Tracey - Yeah on getting Liams wardrobe done - At least you can get his room organised. I know - it's been ages - we really need to organise a catch up but everyones so busy!! Fridays are my day through the week with nothing on but I know you guys are working etc. Maybe a weekend catch up is needed??? I don't know whats harder though...
Well, I've got to send out my invites to my Total learning party - thats sunday 24th Feb if you guys are free - that can be a catch up as well maybe???
Yeah on 5 days off!! Enjoy!!
I looked into a playgroup that was a religious based one last year but never ended up going - I think they had a similar set up with the prayers at food time. I'm personally not keen on anything religious but as you said he wouldn't know what it means at this age anyway and if he enjoys it....??

Melissa - Happy Anniversary!!!! Wow at all the rain you've had!! We've had rain overnight and I'm already dreading winter - I have washing everywhere trying to dry! LOl!

Cindy - GOOD LUCK!!!! I'm sure it will be all fine - can't wait to hear how you went!

K - better go and order some pizza for dinner...so lazy but I just can't be bothered tonight...

Chat later!

Well the finance went as i expected it to! We need to wait untill we get the payout from the realestate people before we can really look at the finance coz at this stage we are jus ttelling them that we will have the money rather than being able to show them.... so we are going to save our butts off untill the start of April and then we will go talk to them again but they are still going to hold the block etc for us! The land doesnt even get released untill August so really we have untill then to get sorted out! Now to find a cheap rental! I cant believe my moher wont let us move in! Its probably for the best though.

sorry- got to put the girls to bed - tori is overtired from swimming today and charlotte has just chucked all over the floor - due to choking on a piece of toris sausage she found on the floor!

[nicole mckay]

how soon do you have to move cindy?
funeral was lovely but very sad.

[cindyb]

Nikki- good to hear the funeral was lovely - I'ma touch strange but i have been to MANY funerals in my short life and i actually find them really interesting. I love that they are generally a tribute to the person and you hear all about their life accomplishments etc and celebrate their life that was. Am i really warped for saying that??
We have to be out of our place by the end of march but we would like to get out by the end of feb so we dont have to pay any more rent to them..

I will be back later i have Kim coming over today which is good, i havent caught up with her in AGES!!

Talk later

Hi girls, Just popping in to say hi and let you know I'm keeping up with your various goings on. All still ok at our end in terms of bubba in tum, however I'm still on bedrest orders. This makes typing kinda tricky. Anyhow, tis lovely to have more time to poke my head into my favourite thread. xx

BTW, Thanks for the feedback on the names for bubba in tum. My vote is also for Toby or Callum, but DH just needs to get over the line. He's worried they are both not as "strong" a name as Fergus. Since we call Fergus, Gus or Gussy these days I can't really see the issue as they are definitely not "manly strong" names. he ha! The other name DH's really keen on these days is Finbar, to be shortened to Finn. I am not so sure. Finn seems super popular these days... xx

[nicole mckay]

finn and gus do sound good together.
cindy i actually agree with you,as i was there i breifly imagined what it would be like to say goodbye to one of my children or my hubby and i broke down in tears just thinking about it.now i am the warped one.
grant is in a meeting with a real estate agent who aproached us to bye and renovate propertys in melton with him and one of his friends.
grant is very excited cos this is something he has wanted to do for many years.
i am waiting for him to get home so i can hear all about it.i hope it works out for him.

[nicole mckay]

i just had a very lovely thought,we have been chatting and getting to know each other for 3 years now......WOW!!!!!!i love you guys

[nicole mckay]
