Neil went home sick from work today, so he drove past our block (again) and said they're already started to put the frame up. I thought they left the slab to settle for a bit before doing that? Is it normal for it to go up within 3 days of pouring the slab?

Milo is swearing a lot, I dont kow if anyone saw my other thread but its driving me crazy. he keeps saying f-it. I've tried telling him we dont talk like that, but that makes it worse so I might try rhyming it, like I think he is saying bucket or something like that. I spoke to his daycare about it, they said he hasnt done it there.

Hes done something though cos at lunch on the weekend he threw a pear across the room and said 'Ashlee says no. dont do that milo' Will have to follow that one up and see what he's doing. I thought they would have told us if he was being naughty enough to get told off.

Rach I am not sure what to do about the swearing. I think ignoring it is prob the best idea as he may stop if it doesnt get a reaction.

Jordan has copied me a few times when I have said the F word. He hasnt said it on his own accord though, thank goodness. He has started to cut out his day sleeps though, today he didnt have one. He fell asleep eating his dinner which was funny at 6.40. I think we will need to eat dinner earlier in future so he gets thru the meal. I am upset he is cutting out the sleep however it did make it easier when we went out and about yesterday so I guess it has it pros and cons. He is still having one when he is tired but I am not forcing the issue, I am not wanting to make it a fight.
hope everyone is well
take care

Hi!

Rachael - not sure about the frame on a slab...I'd say 3 days would be enough though - I doubt they'd risk doing anything too dodgy...
Oh no that Milo's swearing...Yeah I'd probably ignore it, but I know how hard it is...the rhyming things probably a good idea as well...hopefully he'll stop soon...

Tracey - Bugger at Jordan not sleeping...he prob will for the rest of the week though just to catch up...Louis has been tired at the moment and is having one most days (although not today) more so if we've been out and then he falls asleep in the car...he's getting better at just having a shorter nap though so it hasn't affected his night sleep yet...I guess it's just a transitional age...
I must say - I do like not having to worry about day sleeps when we're out though - so convenient!

Alex - Hi!

Big w toy catalogue is online today and the cheeky buggers haven't put prices on - grrr! I've written a wish list so far and Michael nearly had a heart attack...obviously somethings will be ruled out once I see how expensive they are - LOL! I'm so excited!

[deancey]

speaking of buying things for the kids, Jamie just bid on and won a cubby house on ebay. We had looked at one at the showgrounds yesterday but thought it was a little expensive. He just put a bid to see how he would go and won.... OOPS so now we have to change the backyard around to accomodate it.
LOL, the boys will love it though

Awww a cubby will be great Tracey! Michaels going to build one when we get a house! I can't wait!

[Alex&Jack]

Great Tracey!! Yeah cubbies are the best! Nick just built the boys one for christmas last year cause we saw the price of them!! And they just LOVE it to bits! Toby just sits in the sandpit at the bottom and Jack is all over it!! I think there is a pic of it on my facebook photos.. Is it a single or double storey one Trace?

Wow on everyone getting cubbies at the moment - thats one of the first things we want to do once in the new place.

We are starting to stress about our lease at the moment - they have had nobody put in applications on the place and we have to pay the rent untill someone takes the lease over! I sooo hope we dont end up having to pay the rent PLUS the new mortgage! That will just kill us!

Better get some Tupperware parties going again!
