Kristie- i will have leas order, and assuming i can get it all in the car i will bring it sunday! ITs so stupid i will drive to werribee to drop stuff to you rather than the 15 mins to cranboure
Good luck with the chiro - tori used to love going when she was a bub
Don't stress Cindy - I'll come and pick it up from you next week..it's not urgent and if I'm heading over there I've got to go past your house anyway!! No point taking too much stuff in your car!
See you all tomorrow...We're off to the carols by candlelight at the primary school! I've never been before - LOL! Hopefully we don't get rained on...they've got a carnival type thing first with jumping castle and animals apparently...even if we just go for that will be fine...
Better go and get some dinner ready for them first!
Well thanks for the lovely day at the zoo yesterday everyone. It was nice to catch up again and see new baby Ethan (who is adorable ofcourse). Its so funny to think we started out as 4 mums with 1 baby (Well Nikki had 3) and now we are 6 ladies with lots of kids. How time has flown
Well Jordan and Liam are sick.... SO not good. They have colds so I am taking tomorrow off work to look after them as Jamie is back to work and cant take a sickie on his 1st day back, although he would prob like to.
We put our xmas tree up tonight, looks nice. Now just need to pick up all the presies and start wrapping them.
SOOO New years Eve. We are having a friend over who has a bub few months younger than Liam. Its there 1st NY with a bubs so we are having a small thing at home. Anyone who has no plans is more than welcome to join us. We can put porta cots and matresses out for all.
Cindy - you guys are most welcome to crash in the lounge (we can get a matress) if you both want to drink and stay the night as its a fare hike home.
ARGH Liam is sooking gotta go. I havent stopped since I walked in the door. This has been my only 5 mins and now its over.
CHat later
It was a great day out! Was nice to get out of the house and have a good laugh and some fresh air! The kids slept the whole way home which was nice...I even managed to get Ethan down early enough and got plenty of sleep in last night which was great as well! Today we had his mchn check up and walked which was full on with the boys in the pram and Ethan in the sling and then have had my girlfriends over for dinner...the poor boys were wrecked tonight and in the wars having silly accidents and tears cos they were so tired...
Tracey - sorry to hear the boys are sick...Liam is so gorgeous - what a cheeky smile he has...Jordan seemed to enjoy himself heaps as well!
Thanks for the offer of New Years...we'll just be having a quiet one at home though...
Nikki - Thanks for the gorgeous outfit for Ethan! I can't believe how good the kids were walking around all day! I can barely get Louis to walk to the letterbox! LOL!
Cindy - How cute is Charlotte with her dummies - LOL! I thought it was so cute that Tori and Louis were getting along so well sitting on the bus!
Are you ok? I assume you were just tired but you didn't seem quite yourself...I hope your getting enough rest in...I bet you can't wait for a month off - does that include tupperware and your normal work??
Alex - Was great to see you again...gosh - I hardly heard a peep out of your boys...although I did see, I think it was Jack doing a runner up the new exhibit! LOL!
It was a good day wasnt it! THe kids were all soo good! I was worn out though, ended up going to bed with tori at 8 and i slept through till 8! Gee did i need it or what!
Kristie- i am fine, just lots on my mind and REALLY looking forward to some time off, Yeah i am getting 3-4 weeks off everything! But then it all starts up with a bang with school and all, and that is stressing me I am still trying to work out what to do with the girls! Cant really afford 2 days at child care if i am not going to be earning anything whie they are there... It wil work out though.
Tracey- sounds like a plan NYE! Thanks!
Well i have just got home from a party so i think i should go to bed and get ready for a day at the surgery tomorrow, we have a full on day tomorrow...
CIndy so glad you guys are up for NYE. Krisite I understand your need for a quiet one. You and Michael seemed to be so cool calm and collected with the 3 boys though, a good team I think.
Well I got tafe fees confirmed at $1050.00 for next year and I am freaking out Think I will be saving some of K Rudds money and using it for fees. I have asked mum and dad for money for xmas and bday to cover books etc.
Love the rain we are having today.
Jordan is better today, not as snotty but OH so clingy. Should be ok for me to go back to work friday. Thinking i might do some OT on thursday arvo after playgroup if MIL will take the boys.
Chat later
Not much news here other than have been having some bub movements which has been good, heaps earlier than the last time too.
I've got my u/s this Friday so fingers crossed that all goes well then as well.
Other than that, no much. The front landsca[ing has been done on the house so now we have stone and mulch, just need to find some plants to put in, but it doesnt look like a building site anymore so thats good.
Tracey, can you get second hand books, or are they all new editions?
Tracey - The fees don't sound too bad for a whole year! I think uni is way more expensive normally...Good timing for the extra money coming in now though - that will have you covered!
Rachael - Good to hear from you! Yeah on feeing movements - how exciting! Good luck at your u/s! Yeah at your front landscaping getting done!
Well, Louis had his kinder orientation which went really well other than he didn't want to leave! The kinder looks great...and the outside playground is fantastic!! They've got a couple of chickens and a lizard and fish inside. Lots of dinosaur stuff which Louis loved! The teachers seem great as well! He's going on Wed arvos from 1.15-3.45pm which stuffs up my idea of shopping cos the baby boys will need a sleep but means Michael may be home sometimes to pick him up rather than dragging the boys out. I've got to order a little kinder t-shirt and jumper for him as well...
I can't believe my little munchkin is going to kinder...I know it's only 1 arvo a week but it's the beginning...it will soon be 4yok and then school...omg...He's so excited though!! We already left his new tupperware madagascar bag (he loves it Cindy! he keeps walking around the house with it and saying he's off to work cos it's like a little briefcase - LOL!) behind and we were hopping in the car and he remembered - I thought that was good of him...so both we go running back in to get it...will need to label everything I think!
Kristie- THat boy of yours is a dag isnt he! He is soo cute, i can just imagine him with the lunch pack! I hope you can drop by tomorrow! I know Nicky is keen to meet baby ethan.
Is anyone else free and p for a drive to narre warren tomorrow??
hello everyone,we had such a great day at the zoo,chantelle is still talking about it and harry is proudly telling us the names of all the animals,they have also taken a real liking to the Madagascar movie cos all the animals are in it.
I took the kids to the city last night,james and Corey took a friend each and they spent an hour and a half at the skate park next to the yarra and had a great time while me and channy looked at the myer windows, David jones Christmas cave and myer Santa land,she really enjoyed it,then we watched the advent calender show at federation square,even the big boys like that show.it was nice warm night too so i am glad we went cos the weather is going to be crap right up till next Thursday at this stage,bluddy hell what ever happened to summer?

Cindy - Was great to drop around yesterday...the boys had a ball and it was great to get out of the house for a chat. Nicky's little bubba is just gorgeous! The boys fell asleep on the way home and I swear if I could have parked in our garage I would have left them all to sleep and had a snooze in the front seat as well! LOL!
Nikki - Glad you all had a great time out! We're very excited to go and see the new madagascar movie - will be great to do over the holidays...
See you tomorrow at the wiggles!
Well, I survived my night home alone (michaels at a work thing at phillip island) gosh..I wouldn't want to do that every night though! Ethan was up til 10pm and then Dylan was waking and Louis wouldn't go to sleep (damn that nap in the arvo)...Ethans been very good today though so I've managed a bit of chill out time...got some bikkies made and some pressies wrapped.
We still have a little bit more shopping to do which we'll probably do Thursday night...and I still haven't got a photo of the boys with santa yet!
Ok..Ethans about to wake up...chat later!
hello!
Scan went well on Friday, everything looks good and no obvious issues
radiographer scared me a bit though he spent what felt like forever looking at the heart, but then said it was the baby moving so much that he couldn't get the pics. he needed - and no one else had to look at them, and no one rang me urgently so Im guessing thats all it was.
I have nothing to say other that i want to quit my job and run away with the circus!! I think i would make a good clown, or a hairy woman......
I hopw you are all well and just to busy to write in here!
Kristie- did you get the tupperware today? I hope al didnt move it from the front door! Talyor was asking me about Louis and Dylan last night when i was at carlys house, they all played soo well! I need a bigger house though, 9 kids didnt fit in real well when it was so wet they soundlt go outside!
Nikki - what was grant going to the drs for? Is he ok? How did al lthe finals go on the weekend?
Rach -hows the house going????? When is the housewarming???
Alex- I think i will make the treck to your place next time i need the dog clipped, he is all patchy! The guy was really good though coz my pup was not happy about it at all and ended up being muzzled!
Tracey- i am starting to stress about the money for the course now too! Mine is going to be $1500 plus books which will be LOTS more!
Rachael - So glad everything went well - How exciting!!
Cindy - Yep - picked up the tupperware! Thanks for that...Prob won't see Lea until Saturday now but I'm sure she'll survive without it! LOL!
LOL I think you'd fit in at the circus as well - Just kidding! Might be a refreshing change though - I may just join you!
It was great on Friday - I thought the kids did really well also!! Carly was really nice and they played so well with Taylor - I can't believe how tall she is!
Nikki - Hope your finally enjoying your lip butter...so sorry about that...was great to see you Sunday!
As for us...We had the wiggles on Sunday which was fantastic - we all loved it! Poor Michael only saw a bit of it cos he dropped us off and had to go and find parking! Louis loved seeing Chantelle and Harry there as well! We went to the Myer windows but it was soooo busy we didn't line up...tried to check out myer/david jones as well but the lines were so long. Was a nice day although we were buggered by the time we went home...
Had a 6w check up at the hospital this morning -had to be there by 9.30am which was a nightmare and it ended up being a complete waste of time - she didn't check over either of us, just asked how we are and I still had to make a gp appt...grrr!
I'm getting so excited for xmas - I haven't even half wrapped pressies yet and still have to go and pick up another layby! We're going to go shopping on Thursday night though and finish everything off...
Boys are well...Ethans unsettled again this afternoon...gosh..I could so do with a break - the sleep deprivations building up thats for sure! LOl! We're out all Saturday for family stuff and then Michaels working Sunday and probably through to New Years on a private job...grrr. The money will be great but I'm so hanging out for a sleep...even a daytime nap would be nice...Just have to keep thinking another week to go before he's on holidays...Hopefully I'll get a couple of weeks of extra naps/sleep in...In having that big whinge though we're getting the biggest most gorgeous smiles from Ethan..he's so gorgeous and the boys have been well...
K..better go and get some dinner on ...chat later!
ok well all is well here. Just really looking forward to the few days off over xmas.
Cindy I am looking at extended our personal loan to pay for fees and books. Its so hard to come up with the money. DO you get money off k rudd?
Krisite I hope you get some rest soon darling. I know how sleep deprevation is. Liam didnt really sleep thru until 5ish months OMG that was a long time. Glad the boys enjoyed the wiggles.
Nikki Let me know whats happening tomorrow. I am fine to get you guys from watergardens or if you just want to visit pop in.
