Oh MD i must have posted just after you!

yeah i do the cook ups and try to do them when L is in bed. this is when i do all the bases like sweet potato, pumpkin, potatoes etc etc. however i do the meat on the day that she will be eating it.

with the toys yeah, i have been doing culls. although with so many bubs in our group of varying ages we have decided to start our own 'toy library'. basically we chuck our toys in a big plastic bin and anyone can go in and borrow the toys (there's nothing formal or anything going on). it seems to be working really well as the bubs get to play with new toys and it declutters the house! (we also do this for our trashy mags! LOL!).

oohh that's right the Baptism is coming up! how exciting! have to say that we got a gown for leila and it was really expensive! in hindsight, i think i would have bought something white that could be used again. although, my original idea was to have something special that could be a family heirloom one day...romantic thoughts i know, no doubt it'll end up moth eaten and festering at the bottom of some stinky teenagers cupboard!

i didnt realise your DH was going away (what rock have i been living under?!). for how long?? and where?
My DH is starting his commuting this week, so will be on my ownsome this mon and tues...
