Ginger, I hope the bug passes soon, sounds horrible!
Clare, I am taurean too. I have to admit that I don't know a whole lot about the sign characteristics though. The house photos on FB are beautiful - I looooove the flooring and L's room looks fantastic. DH walked past while I was looking at her room pic and commented that it was really nice too.
Noni, there are quite a few letters missing here too, as well as the number 6. He is good with his colours though, sometimes gets them muddled but mostly gets them right. I wouldn't worry too much about Williams size, Amelia's 000's are getting a bit tight so in another month she is going to be in 00's as well.
Our car is still at the garage and I have been stuck at home for nearly two weeks. We usually have an activity 4 mornings a week but only one is in walking distance. We are going a bit stir crazy.
Would you think I was crazy if I said that Amelia is nearly sitting? She can balance for about 4-5 seconds before she topples over. It is really cute, she is really pleased with herself for doing it, then she smiles and kicks her legs which sends her over backwards lol.
Clare - the house photos look stunning, especially Leila's room.
Ginger - hope everyone is on the mend there.
Funny toilet training story - K had her dolly sitting on the potty this morning, came up to me with some toilet paper saying 'Paige, poo' - so the dolly was pooing! She of course had to go and flush it. She also got busted a couple of times on the weekend putting nappies in the bin that had only been on the dolly!!
Well the housecleaner we met last night was lovely - she was so motherly and offered to do anything we needed (stack dishwasher, iron, make beds, clean, tidy etc). I just wanted to give her a big hug!! So she is doing 4 hours tomorrow (including the oven - which hasn't been done since Mum did it the week before K was born!!). I just feel relaxed already, knowing that the house will be clean when I get home tomorrow. It's already looking better because we did the mad dash through last night (just tidying)before she came round. I'm really going to enjoy Wednesday's now, knowing that the place will be clean every week.
Hey Chicks,
Struggling a little with my bro. It's been a bit tough. Finding it hard to keep up in here. I do try and read but my head is not quite up to it. But i'll be back. *channelling Arnie*
Just popping on to say hi and to say thanks again to Jazah for having a meet at her place yesterday. It was great to see Lee and Jaz and all the kiddies. Sorry I couldn't stay longer tho, as it was we didn't get home until 5.30pm. Sarah was at her best , I think she was just over the travelling and car time. Hopefully we can convince a few more people to attend the next one...hint hint Oz lol.
Also, just wanted you girls to be among the first to know that we are offically TTC . I had an appointment at a gyno the other month who sent me for bloods, ultrasound and a HSG. The HSG is where they insert dye through your tubes to check for blockages, it also clears your lining out a bit. Not a very comfortable procedure but I fell on the next cycle with S after my last one. I have also just finished my first round of Clomid so will be busy for the next few days D(ing)TD hehe.
Anyway...better get back into getting this house sorted after my trip to Brissie. DH has been home so you can just imagine what he's been up to (or should that be hasn't been up to)
Good luck to everyone with the Melbourne Cup, I'd offer my tips but I never win anyway
Noni, he's 3 months old now so I would be expecting him to be heading into 00 by now. Don't forget that there is a growth spurt around this time so that would account for the bottomless stomach LOL. I'm sure he's fine. Gosh I remember putting Alister in a 0 onesie at Christmas.
Ange I'm so sorry that you're still having troubles with your Bro. I think as much as you love him and worry about him you'd be kinda glad to be moving soon
Cally I would love for someone to just come and do dusting and ironing.
I've been so slack at keeping up lately. I have been reading though. Alister isn't really up there with letters, words or numbers but he does know his colours and shapes and that's about all I expect from him atm. I used to really drum it in with Lindsay all the time at this age - MIL even gave me some flash cards she had when her 3 were toddlers LOL and I spent loads of $$ on books for him to do stuff in but by the time Erin came along I realised I just didn't want her to grow up that fast so I didn't do it. he is a fabulous mimic though. His scooter riding is getting a bit scary because he goes as fast as the other kids now so it's a bit of a worry that he's going to have a major tumble off it.
Ange: babe. so sorry. that is really tough and totally understand about not having the headspace to think about anything else ATM. sending our thoughts and prayers to your bro and family xx
Noni: arrghhh! this second round of babies are growing up sooooooo FAST! it's amazing!
Cally: i am another joining the 'green with envy' brigade. i so wish we had a cleaner. even just once a fortnight.
Arte: with your kids: anything is possible LOL! i am SURE she is sitting!! the photo on FB surely looks like it too. bummer about the lack of car. that is something i am grateful for when we moved to melbourne that the car can basically be ignored as things tend to all be in walking distance or there are the trains/trams. how much longer do you have to wait???
Kate: YAY!!! congrats babe! this is great news! sending loads of stickyvibes your way!
Rainy: ewwwww. vomit-ville aint fun! hope you guys are holding up ok.
AFM: all good here. DH had a win on the ponies for the cup. he put on a $5 bet and won $100!!! his shout LOL! so off to dinner tonight with some friends which should be lovely.
Clare, yay for the win, hope you went somewhere nice for dinner. Not sure when the car will be done. Hopefully soon.
Cally, lol at the pooing dolly. Glad your cleaner is nice. I would love someone to do my cleaning but I would hate anyone to see how filthy my house gets lol
Noni, they grow up too quickly don't they! Are you finding that time seems to go so much faster with the second one?
O.K, so last years corn-off was a bit of a let down after Ange's got pop corned in the bush fires and mine ended up as foot high dwarf plants so this year I propose.......
Giant Pumpkins!!!!
You can get the seeds for the big growing orange ones for a couple of dollars. Will anyone rise to the challenge? Clare, your lovely new yard is just begging for novelty oversized veges!
We have the seeds and William is excited about it already lol
I think I would be divorced if I dare even suggest it. DH has a thing about those pumpkins and thinks that they are directly related to 'small man' issues ROFL. Plus we have no cows to feed them to when they are grown thus stinking up my compost.
and to say thanks again to Jazah for having a meet at her place yesterday. It was great to see Lee and Jaz and all the kiddies. Sorry I couldn't stay longer tho, as it was we didn't get home until 5.30pm. Sarah was at her best
