MD, next time send your DH with a few bribery lollies in the bag lol. Suck that he thought it was a good idea to bring the upset child home for you to deal with. I saw your pic on FB, and even I know who he is so he must be reasonably famous!
Clare, lol at getting the houses mixed up. That is a good bonus for you. When we put in the offer for this place we were trying to assign rooms etc and couldn't even remember how many rooms there were or the layout of the house. We were pleasently surprised when we saw it again.
Hayley, sorry I missed your birthday yesterday. I hope you had a good one.
Oz and Leanne, jealous of your meet up. A whole thread meet up would be awesome.
DH was going to go out hunting this morning but when he went out to the sleepout to get a jacket he startled a burgler! They came in through the garage window and were stealing meat out of the freezer. We recently bought half a cow so it was well stocked. They seem to have gotten away with one load which was about $800 worth of schnitzel, mince, sausages and roasts but DH spooked them before they got all the boxes of steak and the rest of the loose stuff. The guy that did it was from a party next door, the police got him straight away but there is no chance of getting the meat back now (not that I would want it back after it had been goodness knows where). I think our insurance should cover it
William seems to have been visited by the diarrhea fairy, he went though about 12 nappies yesterday! He has had a few occasions of runny nappies, but never with such frequency/tummy cramps/liquid farts. Poor boy, every time he tries to go to sleep he comes out needing his nappy changed again.
Arte: glad that they got scared off and didnt try anything funky!
bummer about losing all that food though...
MD: ROFL!! that is a great photo! and yep, totally know who it is LOL!
AFM: totally annoyed x10 at DH AGAIN today. informs me that he has a soccer game on the day that i am organising and throwing my friends baby shower (this was after yesterday when i told him that it would be cool if he could look after leila for 2 hours while it was on so that i could relax and enjoy...this is a group of friends where they are all first-timers...so a toddler would/could be quite intense IYKWIM. so peeved. then about 30 minutes later (while i am packing, he comes in with a mate and tells me that he is off to get a beer and that he doesnt want leila to come with him...i sent him out to look after her while i packed some boxes....like seriously, WTF?! shot him some daggers and he got it. good man. so they have gone to some courtyard cafe/beer garden place so leila can play and dig in the sandpit while he has a beer and a good time...
I haven't caught up on all of your 'going's on', but just wanted to pop in and say hi.
Have been busy of late - walking for an hour in the morning after school drop off, and then teaching Hannah to swim in our pool (if freezes my boobenheimers off!!!!!)
As soon as Han goes to sleep (she's back into having a day sleep - 'cause she's knackered!) i try to keep on top of the housework. Gosh I hate cleaning
I haven't started toilet training yet, as H is just not ready. I'm being pressured by dh to start her, but I just say 'yes dear' and do my own thing
She's started throwing wobblies when she can't get her own way. That is mentally tiring.
I have my sisters wedding/baby naming ceremony/nephew's 1st birthday at our place in 3 weeks. I'm starting to panic a little - usually happens when I'm trying to get to sleep at night
It's World Teachers Day on Friday - so for something special for Jess's teacher, I recorded Jess and 2 of her friends singing on cd. He surfs in his spare time, so i made up some new words to Surfin' Usa. The girls loved hearing their own voices on cd!
I'm thinking of doing something similar for christmas gifts for our family - along with the usual christmas photo of the girls.
Anyway, I will definitely pop back in and read about what's been happening in your lives - miss you guys !!!!!!
Katie- It was so wonderful to meet you and Zoe is so beautiful.
Toilet Training- We are trying.. Day care told mum that on Friday Livi went all day with out any accidents so I was very excited.
Art- OMG you poor luv thats not good glad they got caught though.
MD- you wouldnt beleive it but yesterday we were getting out of my car at the casino and Shannon Noel walked past and my cousin said isnt that guy shannon..lol I told her your close they did the same show together....hahahahahahaha
Sept Buddie meet up would be awesome...... Count me in
Well my weekend away was amazing and I enjoyed the time out from the kiddies although I was ringing mum every minute as the boys had temps.... Thankfully they are all ok now....
OMG Arte thats terrible!!!! Poor W I hope if he has a bug it passes very quickly.
Jaz your so creative, I bet the teacher will love it. Is the wedding, naming and birthday all on one day? That will be a busy day.
Clare men can be such PITA can't they. Your big move is soooo close now.
MD when you make that QLD trip happen be sure to let us know so we can organise something.
Leanne glad the boys are feeling better. How are you feet feeling now? Did you have a few more drinks at the casino?
Miss Z had her first trip to the beach today, she slept the whole time lol. L seems to have had a language explosion and is such a chatterbox. Better go and feed Miss will catch up more tomorrow.
MD - So envious of you meeting Guy!! He seems like a really nice guy
Arte - Who the hell steals meat!? LOL! He must feel like a bit of a fool now
Katie - Yay for Z's first trip to the beach, she will be a little surfie girl before you know it lol
Clare - Oh no at least your DH got the hint and took L along!
TT, I havent started yet either & to be honest I dont even know where to start. Do you just use the pull up nappies first? I have no idea.
Girls we have our nephew's christening this coming weekend, and DH & I are the godparents. No idea about any of this christening stuff, however I need gift ideas! Help?????? He is almost two so I cant get like a silver baby rattle etc
Also do you think its inappropriate of me to wear a white dress? I am so low on formal wear I have nothing else to wear. Its a gorgeous summery witchery dress, but white as white can be.
MM- re the toilet training I just put Livi in Undies. The white dress sounds lovley and will be fine. I bought my neice a jewellery box for her christening.
MM, how about one of those silver money boxes? I think you can get trains/aeroplanes etc. Apparently the burgler has been caught stealing meat a few times lol. It is quite common here because we are in a rural area so heaps of people have freezers in outbuildings that have thousands of dollars worth of meat in them (from home kill animals)
Jazah, yay for the new babies coming into your family! How exciting. How is J going now?
Ange, how is L with Sas these days?
Clare, sounds like your DH made a good choice taking L with him lol
Is this the weekend that MP and Cally were meeting up?
hey everyone,
just got very wet walking asha to daycare lol.. thank god i went with the pram that came with a rain cover coz i havnt seen double pram raincovers in the shop before lol..
had a good weekend, just a bit of shopping and then some of dh's family over for dinner, i made jam drop biscuits and chocolate slice during the day and am now wishing i didnt coz i am sitting here with it calling me from the kitchen hahaha!!
alls well with tt here, ashas doing really well, only one accident on the wkend and that was last night while she was eating so cant blame her for being distracted school today tho so who knows what will happen there..
arte - how is w now? poor thing!!
mm - we used those training undies at first u can get them in packs of 3 from big w where all the other tt stuff is.. theyre the same as undies just a little more padding so its unlikely poo will slip out onto the floor and its a smaller puddle to clean up if they do a wee, sometimes no puddle if its a small one.. theyre the same as undies in the regard that they will still feel wet.. if u just wanna start slow but u can just put her on the potty or toilet as soon as she gets up in the middle of a nappy change and before she goes to bed.. and ofc praise her heaps if she does anything but sending them between nappy changes as well can be an easy no pressure way to start.. sorry i kinda went on a bit there didnt i lol!
katie - aww first day at the beach! she is so adorable! have been looking at the pics on fb!
leanne - yay for a day with no accidents!!! glad the boys are better now too!
jaz - thats such a cute idea re the teachers day gifts!! do u think i should get something for ashas pre-school teachers or its not the same thing?? am still agonising over xmas gifts for them will prob just go with chocs lol so lazy!
clare - well done on making him realise and take leila!! men are so clueless sometimes!!
hi to anyone i missed
hope everyones having a nice day
Arte: ah, so that does make sense that a person would try their luck at flogging the meat...still, sounds so bizarre to steal THAT much meat in one go LOL! (that said, DHs Dad had $10k worth of olive oil stolen from their lockup too, crazy stuff).
Oz: ha ha ha! ah fresh air on young babies, works a treat to have them sleep and no doubt the sounds of the waves were also rather soothing.
Jaz: i reckon the cd sounds cool! i am certain the teacher will find it gorgeous too!
that is a big event to hold!! but i guess if it is all combined then you do save on the invites and food...it is on the same day right??!!
MM: i reckon a silver moneybox idea is a good one....and the white dress will be perfect. if you are nervous on the whiteness, just accessorise with a nice light and colourful scarf/wrap or bold necklace.
Leanne: that is so awesome that you got to meet to Oz! glad the boys were able to fight off the temps without too much worry and you were also able to enjoy your special time away.
AFM: well, feeling alot calmer today. amongst the chaos i realised that i hadnt eaten all day yesterday .
it's official: leila is totally in love with a boy from kindy. and he totally loves her back LOL! they are sooo cute together. they hold hands, cuddle and KISS! ha ha ha! and they always run off together and read books or play trucks, leaving the other kids to eat their dust LOL!
that is awesome news about the TT...i am sooo stoked that you used the terry pants from BigW cause i just bought a pack a couple of weeks ago and am waiting for the warm weather to start so we can rip em out LOL!
Yes, MP and I had coffee (and a super scrummy raspberry / white chocolate / coconut muffin) yesterday. Unfortunately N couldn't come as he was sick and J was coming down with something so she has had to cut her holiday short. Was good to see her though and hoping we can catch up later in the year when she next pops down.
MM - my stock standard christening gift is a lovely cutlery set - I *always* buy the wiltshire kids ones - they have a bunny/ducky/dog/teddy engraved on the handle. I bought one for my DD when she was baptised and they're still going strong, have stayed in lovely condition etc. Because you're also godparents I think it's your job to also buy a really lovely bible stories book or bible (if the family is really christian) but if the family is really more secular find a children's book with stories/blessings etc from many faiths or about guardian angels or whatever your belief is. White dress perfectly appropriate.
Clare our DH's have been excelling lately haven't they LOL. Except mine made up for his sins by coming home and moving all the furniture around after I'd mentioned it *once* only so I'm a very happy wifey now LOL. Good luck with the BIG MOVE - I'm so excited for you (can you tell??)
So glad you got to catch up Cally & MP - bummer about the kids being sick though! Always rotten timing, isn't it?
Arte - far out at the meat burglar --- that just begs belief doesn't. So glad he got his just desserts and I hope the insurance comes thru for you. Will your DH have to go to court as a witness or anything? I hope W is better soon, that much poo is never fun for anyone.
Leanne - LOLing about your Shannon Noll moment, I hope your friend had a good laugh too.
Jazah gosh you're a wonder woman doing the housework when H is asleep - that's my blob-on-the-couch time LOL. You must be going great with the weight loss, you sound like you're still really motivated. WTG. I love the CD idea, I'm sure he will *love* it. Re the party, don't panic, just start making lists!
Noni you're really our frontier woman when it comes to TTing - well done! Jam drop biscuits and choc slice sound yum, tho I'm having a giggle remembering how you never used to cook and now you're a regular domestic goddess!
AFM - Still coming down from the excitement of my brush with celebrity LOL. Missy E has just learnt how to do kisses to get the real kissy noise, so she's being going around making random kissy noises all the time LOL. My gorgeous little girl!
MD, DH probably won't have to be a witness - this guy is well known to police and usually just pleads guilty straight away.
Guys, I was snooping on FB (clicked on a friend of a few of you - she has a pretty name) and realised that one of her friends is a girl that was in my class at school and is a BB member. I have been stalking around and *think* I know who it is. If I am right she is quite an active member. I suddenly don't feel anonymous.
ohh Arte! the whole 9 degrees of separation huh?! there is an old school person here on BB of mine too. but i *think* that i am largely unrecognisable and she is not such an active member...yet!
*winge* ive been applying for jobs lately, to no avail, i havnt worked since i was about 6mths pregnant with asha and it seems thats too long to have been out of work for anyone to want to hire me.. dont get me wrong i love my kids but i feel kinda stuck doing the same thing every day im starting to find it kinda mind numbing and its really getting me down.. ofc we could really use the money too.. ahhh hopefully something will come too, its hard putting so much effort into applications and getting no where
lol md all those years in the 2-3 room working in childcare atleast i learnt something haha.. i wouldnt say domestic godess lol u should see my house so unmotivated today!
Noni GL with the job hunt, keep at it and something will come your way.
Clare good luck with the big move.......... so exciting. Cant wait to see some pics on FB!!
MD awww at the kissy noise, they are learning so much now aren't they.
MM I think a white dress will be fine. The girls have given loads of good pressie suggestions.
L is back in his big bed tonight, since DH has 2 weeks off work he is on night duty lol. Took him a while to go to sleep tonight so hopefully it gets easier.
glad that they got scared off and didnt try anything funky!
school today tho so who knows what will happen there..

Jam drop biscuits and choc slice sound yum, tho I'm having a giggle remembering how you never used to cook and now you're a regular domestic goddess!
