Nikki - how exciting! I LOVE the snow and would love to come with you guys but we will be moving house the week after that and will need to be packing (not to mention finding people to help us move) so will have to come next time I'm thinking!
I used to have skiis etc so i will see if mum still has them in the garage and ifso they hsould be fine for your or james (i was about 17 when i got them) coz they go on height from memory.

Rachael - how are you going with the sleeping?
Hows neils band going?

Kristie- was great to catch up with you the other day - I have another friend coming over tomorrow and every time i ask tori who is coming to visit she says Louis! Very cute!

Tracey how are you going with your boys?
How exciting about Kirsty and Toby!

alex - have you had a busy weekend? Do you get busy with work on the weekends or is it a pretty steady flow?

Not much is happening here i have the baking urge so have just been to the shops for supplies and am making angel cakes (cupcakes) which tori had to like the bowl or course!

Ok, better go check them, dont want to be burning any angels!

Oh - i forgot to say... I had one of my bloody porcelain veneers fall off tonight! I was eating tea and 'CRACK' there it goes! I am going to lob on the door step of my old boss in the morning and make him see me befre his patients start! I hope he can just glue it back on, It was half of it which is harderto put back than if it was the whole one! Cracked right down the middle! I dont want to have to replace it, really dont havethe spae money at the moment and wouldnt you know it, we cancelled our health insurance last month coz we were never using it! TYPICAL

ooooh I forgot to do an update.
Well, milo was being really quiet on SAturday arvo so I thought maybe he'd gone to sleep, but I wwas hearing periodic noises so I decided to check.
As soon as I got to the door I knew what had happened, the smell was too much. He'd done a poo (hence the worse behaviour than normal at sleep time) and re-decorated his bedroom with it.
So two loads of washing later, and after borax-ing the bedroom floor we'd cleaned it up.

Sunday we went to a birthday party which was really good, he was a bit scared of the clown that they had. She didnt have clown makeup on or anything but he was still a bit funny and wanted to sit on my knee not with the other kids, but he relaxed after a while and decided it was OK.

Cindy tooth sounds painful I hope you got it sorted out.

Nikki the holiday sounds fab. Would love to go but theres no way we could afford it at the moment with everything going house wise.

If the weather is going to be OK this weekend I think I will hire a skip to get the crap out of our backyard and garage. That way we will have to do it cos we're paying for it, so there will be no chance of being lazy! I just hoe its going to be dry weather.

wiggles go on sale on thursday for ticketek members(me) before the general public on the 30th so if you want me to get tickets let me know asap.$35 for hot potato tickets and they perform at rod laver on 14th and 15th dec.You make me feel like dancing tour,we have the new dvd and it is probably the best one out.

bugger lost my post.....
well have to say again that I had the day from hell. All was well in the morning, Jamie took Jordan to swimming whilst Liam and I slept in till 9am. We then took the boys into my work so I could show them off. On the way home Jordan fell asleep in the car. He was asleep for about 20 mins when Jamie put him into bed. He stayed there for all of 5 mins and then got up. I gave him something to eat and tried to put him back to bed at 1.30. Well then it started..... he kept getting up wanting to POO so I kept putting him onto the toilet but he would do NOTHING. After the 5th or so time I LOST IT. I started swearing at him ( so ashamed ) and gave him a few smacks. Jamie was at MHN whilst this was happening so I was on my own. I gave up after an hr then Jamie came home to find him awake. He then tried to put him to bed and it continued and I got more angry and uptight. Eventually we gave up and he stayed up.
I feel terrible for speaking to him so badly but really dont think he is ready to stay awake the entire day.
He has gone to bed with no hassles tonight but dont want this to be a habit. What do you guys do when they dont want to have a nap???? Any ideas are welcome.

Nikki I would love to come to wiggles. What date are you actually going? I can transfer money into your account if you give me the details.

Cindy I hope you get your tooth fixed without too much hassle.

Rach EWW with the poo decorations. Hope it wasnt too grose to clean up.

Kristy Hope you and the boys are ok.

well on a more positive note, Liam was weighed in today at nearly 4 weeks and he is now 5.060 Kilo. I think I am going to have another chubba bubba on my hands. LOL
Well only an hour till the milk bar is due to open... take care ladies

Hi!

Long time no post!

We've been busy and I'm just spending time catching up really now...no luck with selling the house yet - had an ofi on Sat and only had 1 couple through - how sad! So we're just sitting tight and definitely not putting any offers on anything until this place sells! At this rate we'll be here for another 5 years - LOL!
Took the kids to the park today and they had a ball! It was such a nice day!
Bub in tum seems well! Had a midwife visit the other week and heard the heartbeat for the first time which was nice! Tummy's starting to grow a little bit now! Feeling little kicks as well...
I have my scan next Wed on the 25th - very excited!!!
Went out with my friend Bean yesterday to see the new Sex and the city movie!! Was great - I loved it and was so nice to get out through the day and do something for myself! It very rarely happens!!!!

Tracey - So sorry I missed you last week! You sound like your going along so well!! Thats so great! I will have to make another time to catch up with you though - I can't wait to meet him! I hope will his little projectile vomits he doesn't turn into a chucky baby - Dylan was like that and it was gross...basically took 6 months for him to grow out of it...how's he going with it?
I know this p/g is going soooo fast!!! So scary!
Sorry to hear you had a rough time with Jordan not sleeping today...I've got no advice as most days Louis doesn't sleep...Hopefully he was just having an off day and won't make it a habit...I'm sure if he's really tired tomorrow he'll go to sleep...Probably just messed him up that he fell asleep in the car...
Yeah at Liam growing so well - geez you have some special milk there I think!!!!!

Cindy - Wow - how great you got to do all that shopping for yourselves!!! Omg - I would die do go shopping like that - although better for me to do it after I stop growing - LOL!
Was definitely great to catch up - the kids all got along so well - so cute to see them running around! I still can't get over my fright at Dylan nearly running out on the road though...omg...I so need eyes in the back of my head for him! Sometimes I swear I'm the worse mum ever!
Bugger about your tooth - hope you got it fixed!

Nikki - So glad you had a great birthday - I hope you had fun spending all that b'day money!! WOW!!!
Yeah on giving up smoking!! I'm so proud of you!! Woohoo!!!! How's it going?
Thats great you've planned a holiday at the snow!!! How fun!! Gosh - I wish I was going! Michael and I love it! I'm not very good at it but I have fun on the ski's and Michael's really good at snowboarding (well...so he tells me! LOL) We're dying to go up but all this baby making keeps putting a stop to it! LOL! I'm sure the kids will have a ball!


Rachael - LOL at Milo not wanting to wear jumpers...can't say we've had that problem (YET!) Congrats on your land settling - how exciting - wow - now time for all the hard work getting your place ready!! It's so not fun....LOL! But at least you know you'll have a brand new house to move into!!!!
Bugger Milo's not sleeping for you...cheeky thing to sleep for everyone else though! I do remember having trouble with Louis some time back...hopefully it's just a stage for milo as well and will be over soon! Louis basically puts himself to sleep now when he's going to have one...he has a sleep maybe once every 3-4 days depending on what we're up to...he fell asleep after the park today...he's a bit exhausted at the moment though so I think I'll make sure he has a day sleep tomorrow...
OMG!!! How gross that Milo put poo eveywhere!!! I would have died - I so don't cope well with that kind of thing...

Alex - Happy Anniversary - wow - how nice getting flowers delivered and a nice dinner out! Bugger I missed meeting you last week...
Yep - we're finding out the sex although we thought we saw that it was a boy at the 12w scan...very exciting! I'll be rapt to have another boy and a girl will be nice also - a win win situation really!

Kirsty - Congratulationso on the arrival of little Toby!!!

OMG - I so want to go to the wiggles!!!!!! Hmmm - how do you think I'll manage with 3 kids?? LOL! and one of them being potentially 4 weeks old!!! I just told Michael he'll have to come and then we may manage it...do you think a baby like that would go ok in such a noisy environment??? Or am I just wishful thinking that we could go...??? hmmm....I'd love the boys to go though...they had so much fun last time!
Well - if it's doable I guess we'd need 4 tickets!! Wow - that starts to become an expensive day out! LOL! I can transfer the money to your account also Nikki....

OK - on that note - I'm going to bed considering it sooo late!!!! Nighty night!

[nicole mckay]

okay.a little dilemna.i got 12 tickets but we dont need 3 of them now,but 2 of them are in the row in front of us so i need to somehow get rid of 3 but they cant sit together iynwim????? i think one of us will need to take someone else with us and then sell the other 2 that are in the row in front of ours,does that make sense,i can easily bring one of my boys or neices to take up the other seat so need to sell the other 2 or we can give tham all to cindy and tracey who is using 2 tix can sit in the row in front am i making any sense????
we got lower seats(not floor ) row 19 and 20,i think these will be great seats.

Hi!

Went shopping and got the cutest little dress up from Aldi - they had all these ones on special this week and there wasn't many left when I got there but it's a little parrot outfit - Louis tried it on when we got home and it's soooo cute! I might try and find some more at the croydon or ringwood store tomorrow...
The kids were good considering we were out for so long! I'm wrecked though...tidied up the house this arvo and then they called and cancelled the inspection - grrrrr!
Michael's been in a feral mood tonight...it drives me mad...if he has to do something around the house he gets so cross if the kids or I interrupt him - he just wants to do it in peace - thus I had to bath and get the kids to bed on my own (he was only laying a bit of lino - nothing extreme) and I was just annoyed that he couldn't stop and give them 5 minutes attention...
Does he not realise that not matter what it is everything I have to do is constantly INTERRUPTED! Thats just what life with kids is like...anyway...next time I need to get something done I'll just leave everything to him because "I'm busy"
Sorry for the vent...I'm just annoyed at him...

Tracey - Glad you had a nice time with Jordan and playgroup and the Jamie had time with Liam! Thats great that he's taking a bottle!!

Cindy - Fair enough! I think the Dora tickets are about $20-30 each...so not the cheapest! I might wait until one of the local shows comes around again and take them to that...

Nikki - Thanks so much for organising the tickets! Yeah! Now I just need to know what day and time! LOL!

I think I'm off for an early night...I'm looking forward to tomorrow - we're not doing anything - just going to chill out with the kids...

Chat later!

[cindyb]

Gee its so quiet in here! Is everyone on facebook instead these days???

NOt much is happening here, we are cleaning the house up coz they have a open house for the rental tomorrow afternoon so we figured we would try to get some packing done and take it over to mums house but that means we have a very messy house with everything from my tupperware room being pulled out!

Went shopping this morning and got charlotte some propper shoes and she is walking so much better now - i forgot to pack the pusherthough and i found out that my little baby has a temper and a half! She cracked it cos i wouldnt let them have a 3rd turn on the hi5 ride and so she threw her dummy and kicked and screamed! Little ****e! she then later threw the banana smoothie which made a nice mess!

Rachael- hows the house plans going? have you got your place on the market yet?

Kristie-have you had more people through?

GTG- bath time! Actually that reminds me of my bath with the girls the other night and tori telling me i had a huge 'jina'- bigger than dads! and then charlotte, who was out ofthe bath kept leaning over the side to grab my nipple! Then tori told me that i had huge nipples! Gee i wa feeling great after that- lucky she didnt start on my belly!

[Krisvee]

Hi!

LOL at Charlottes tantrum...well you know what I mean...I wouldn't dare have Dylan out of the pram or trolley while we're out! You know how quick he is getting away!
Bugger at having open for inspection tomorrow - at least it doesn't really matter cos it's not your place!!!!
Was meant to have people through yesterday and they cancelled - grrr - so no. Having Ofi tomorrow at 12pm but then they called up to bring someone through at 10.30am - what a pain in the butt. I was going to get all the housework done in the morning...Oh well - if it's not done when they get through too bad.
Oh no at your bath! What a confidence boost! When I had a bath with the boys the other week I could see Louis having a good look at everything but he didn't say anything!! LOL!

I think I'm going to tidy the kitchen and curl up in bed with a magazine! Haven't done that in ages!

[deancey]

nikki I can get rid of the 3 tickets for you I dont think they will mind if 1 is infront of the other. If you want me to ask them if they still want them let me know. I also put the money into your account for you tonight.

Well Liam did exceptionally well today with his feeds. He went 5.5 hrs from 4-9.30 I am hoping he might repeat this for the next feed so I am not up at 1.30 (although I am not minding tv in the middle of the night, thanks to foxtel)
Jordan also went the entire day with no accidents and we were at the shps for most of it. He went to the toilet at the shops and didnt go again till we got home. I was so proud.
We went on shopping spre for the boys. We bought SO much stuff (all clothes) We spent $130 in target and about $100 in best and less. We got some gorgeous outfits.

CIndy LOL at the girls commenting on your bits.....its a little funny. Oops over the tanti though I am sure you can laugh about it now though. Its never funny whilst its happening.

OKoff to bed have my brothers wedding tomorrow so better get some rest so I dont havebags under my eyes.

I finished my level 2 first aid course today! yay. It was today and yesterday, and work paid which was a bonus.
I reckon my work has an unsually hight percentage of qualified first aiders, there would be at least 40% of the employees if not more.

Cindy - they poured the slab this morning and we are meeting with our site manager (who we've nicknamed XXX the dodgy site manager based on a friends experience) on Tuesday morning to go over the plans, timelines etc.
Also dads friend does site inspections on large projects, and has offered to come along to all of our stage inspections. He said if anything is outside the guidelines he should be able to spot it, and we shouldnt make our stage payments until the problems have been fixed (This is wher the 'dodgy site manager ' comes in. Someone I know had the same guy as us and still had unresolved problems that had been identifed months earlier, when they got the keys!)

So thats a huge relief that there will be someone who knows what to look for!

A valuer is coming over on 1st July to look at the house. I want it on the market and to be sold, and us renting ASAP as is will be a lot easier on the finances, but am worried about being able to get a short term rental, so might have to look at a 6 month settlement or something like that - I guess I will talk to the RE guy about it when he comes.

Milo has been watching a tv show called 'in the night garden' and is a bit obsessed. MIL said he is mesmorised by it (normally he just lets it go on in the background except the wiggles) so I got him some of the books and he loves them.

Kristie, I think I need some letter/alphabet books where the kids can trace letters, do you have anything like that in the range (Im thinking DK probably). Milo knows most of his letter and can pick out the right one if we ask him, and tells us words that start with that sound, so I figure I should be encouraging him.

Dora - Im getting tix to that tomorrow morning, SIL wants to take her nephew so we will go together cos the kids are the same age and get along really well, well as much as kids do!

okay, sore neck..its still not 100%. off to have my scrabulous move then bed.

[nicole mckay]

does anyone know about what happened to the 2 toddlers on the news and the mother being a bb member,what happened who was she?
