Hi Ladies

Sorry I didnt make it today Krisite. I ended up having over 2 hr nanna nap on the couch..... I feel a lot better so obviously needed the sleep. I thought I read Nikki would have a party so I will def be along to that one. I hope the party went well.

Nikki We stayed at 2 nice places down at lakes entrance. The qaulity inn bellvueu (we only had hotel room but they do do family accomodation) and The Esplanade (which does 2 bedroom apartments but not sure how many people it takes). I hope the kids are feeling better.

Rachel how exciting about considering #2. I hope it all works out for you with the selling house etc. I am sure Milo will LOVE a playmate.

Cindy how are you going, are you packing already? Where is hamptom park? I am assuming its further out.

Had quiet day today. Went to pasta place to buy some fresh pasta and then slept on couch for over 2 hrs. What a lazy day. I guess we all needed it as Jamie was asleep aswell.
Only 11 weeks of work left, and 2 of those I am on holidays in QLD. I cant beleive we are getting close to the due date already.
I got baby shower invite for jamies cousin today, who is due 1 day before me. they have written a poem on it which suggests no presents only money...... i think that a little strange. I certainly wont be giving cash.its hard to give cash as you need ti give atleast $50 where as I could pick up a lot of stuff for 25-30.
i am not having shower for Liam. We dont really need anything so would feel terrible asking for presents. Maybe a lunch out somewhere one weekend.
Off to organise dinner

Hi!

Had a great day!! Was heaps of fun having everyone around and was nice to see everyone loved the books as much as I do!
Thank you sooo much Rachael for making the trip over! It was great to see you!! I hope you had a good drive home...
So it all went well and I got quite a few bookings so thats exciting! Kids were quite well considering they were tempted by so many goodies all around my house!

Nikki - Thanks! Yeah - thats great you all went out for dinner! Geez, that must be an expensive outing with the clan! LOL!

Tracey - No worries - I'm sure we'll catch up one of these days! Yeah...I'd probably feel a bit funny asking for money...We had a 2nd baby shower for Dylan but I can't remember what we got. Just a few little extras I think. I didn't want Dylan to miss out though iykwim?? Mind you - maybe with the next one I'd rather do something after the baby was born - so then everyone gets to see the bubba and have a bit of a party at the same time...Although if I had a girl I'd probably need heaps of stuff - LOL!

Better go - Chat later!

yaeh kristie,dinner is expensive with the clan,plus we had my neice also.$125.00
today was just as pricey,we took the kids aswell as my neice to the city,we went up the eureka tower and out on the edge,then we walked to a market at fed square and a great park just behind it,then we had a round of lunch and icecreams and then a nice walk along the waterfront watching different shows and buskers.it was cool just as we were leaving to go and then got very warm while we were there.we had another great sunday,we are going to try and go out as a family every sunday.doesnt always mean we will spend money though.
i am still up for girls night next saturday too.
so what is the plan then?
ok
have a good one
