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.
Noni - Dont worry about W I'm sure he is fine. M was the chubbiest baby ever, I look back at her 6 month photos in shock, she was hugeeeee. hahaha. I must admit, & you probably remember, I used to worry heaps too but she is a 'normal' weight now.
Kate - Yayyyy congrats on the ttc. So that makes 3 of us, yourself, Clare & me. I hope we all get bfps soon.
Trill - I think A sounds like he is doing just fine, knowing shapes especially that is great. I dont even know all the shapes lol. M sings the tune to ABC and just the other day started pointing out and naming her facial features, very impressed lol.
Clare - I dont mind so much sending her when she has a runny nose etc, but when M gets sick she always ends up with a real barking cough. I actually had the daycare lady pull me aside this morning about it as apparently yesterday she was coughing so much. I literally told her I just dont know what else to do other than pulling her out of care all together, but I dont want to do that. Just fingers crossed that after her op she will start to get better & with summer, hopefully all the bugs will P O!!! I am loving the sound of your new place. Sorry to hear of your breakdown though, I would be feeling much the same if in your shoes. What are L's wall decals like?
Rainy - Is L better, did he have gastro?
MD - I think you are right about having skipped the gastro thank goodness.
Ange - Oh you poor thing sounds like your bro is still struggling? xox
Feeling a bit down today after finding out on the weekend that someone I know is pregnant again & then just before I found out another is as well. That sounds so selfish I am very happy for them, but I want my turn too, wahhhh what a whinger lol. Sorry
Cally, you'll be pleased to hear that Barbie's dog comes complete with miniature plastic poo
Trill - I have a fabulous mimic too. I uttered a very unladylike phrase when I slammed my foot square into a stool (thought I'd broken a toe again) and about three minutes later when all the drama had died down, there sat Missy E repeating ****ing Hell, ****ing Hell.... I'm married to a trooper, no need to have my child swearing like one too.
Arte - Giant pumpkins - FANTASTIC IDEA...and I also propose we have a special novelty category for the funniest looking veggie harvested anywhere in the garden (you know, rude looking carrots, etc). BTW I believe you, I saw the nearly-sitting photo.
Ange I'm so sorry to hear it's been such a hard time. I hope things improve, or at least stabilise, soon. xxx
Noni - wowee he's getting big isn't he? I'm having trouble putting Missy E in size 2s, had to go on a size 3 buying spree today...not sure it's something you should worry about. Maybe plot his weights on a chart, it's prolly just the way he is, you'll see a pattern.
Cally your lady sounds lovely. It's so much better when it's someone you like and can trust, they don't disturb the energy of your home like a total stranger would.
Kate - yay for TTC...enjoy your most excellent DTD excuse LOL.
MM - sweetie you'll get your turn too
Well I'll add to my terrible swearing-like-a-showgirl motherhood technique by saying my 11 yo DD won herself $20 on the geegees today - yes gambling already! DH let her put her pocket money (WTF??) both ways on 2 horses and one of them was Crime Scene which she picked "because she liked the name". Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
MD, my Nan always put us kids in the sweeps when we were kids and sometimes we'd come home from school to an evelope of money and sometimes we didn't but it seemed all very grown up LOL. I had to chuckle at Miss E picking that up from you - it's so funny yet at the same time you know they shouldn't do it. A has done it a few times after being out and about on the farm with DH and it makes you giggle.
H, such a crappy situation. If it's just a dry, unproductive cough (no phlegm) then it's usually fine if she is otherwise well. But summer is the worst time of year for tummy bugs unfortunately but I think once she has these grommets in you will see a 110% improvement in her health.
Hey Arte, I hope the giant pumpking don't give your NIMBY neighbours something else to whinge about
hey everyone,
cant believe its only wednesday is this week going slow or is it just me??
havnt had much sleep william was very unsettled last night.. got haps planned for today, dunno if ill actually do it or not tho haha.. wanna make chocolate slice, sort out all the clothes in the spare room (looks like the salvos shop exploded in there!! have been washing but not putting away and just got a big plastic box of 00's and 0's from a friend for William that i needa sort through!) then theres the general tidying etc and keeping the children entertained lol just a normal day i spose!!
very excited about the new tattoo im going to get, my birthdays coming up on the 11th and underneath ashas name i wanna get a design i found that has a dandelion with some of the petals would u call them? coming off in the wind and theres a few birds as well and then underneath it williams name, just so it looks more like a design and less like a list of names lol..
TT going well barely any accidents now and she went for my mum the other day so now its just school.. shes done so well though im very proud of her
trill - thanks, i think he just seems sooo big coz he was underweight for a while, we had him in 00000 at one point and to see him in 00 now is a bit of a shock.. as well we were told to expect he wouldnt catch up till around 6mths old and to hope for around 5-6kgs at 6mths lol but we got him weighed at 2.5mths and he was 5.6kgs lol..
md - ashas going into size 3's as well! i cant believe it when i put them on her and they fit lol.. oh and on the swearing thing ash said for f's sake the other day oops!! she was also singing some choice lyrics to a marilyn manson song the other day "everyone will come to my funeral to make sure that im still dead" glad she gets the word funeral and dead kinda wrong but just knowing what she was singing made me feel a bit bad!
mm - sorry ur feeling down hope it happens for u guys asap
arte - yeh i do feel like hes growing up much faster than asha ever did but i spose its coz we are busy etc so times going quicker.. wow giant pumpkins sounds like fun i would have no idea what to do tho haha cant imagine what the neighbours would think! (i live in the western suburbs of sydney)
clare - hope u had a nice dinner out
sorry to anyone i missed spose i should get started on my spare room
Giant pumpkins sounds good, although I'm not sure I will do very well seeing as our garden is sand! Will the packet say giant pumpkin if I go to the hursery or should I be looking for a different name?
Oz - don't feel bad about struggling to keep up, happens to all of use every now and then.
Kate - congrats on your TTC news, I take that to mean you and DH have sorted out some of your issues?
We are so not ready for size 3's! She was in some 2's shorts yesterday and they were sitting so low I think I might pack them away. She still has some 0 Osk Kosh shorts that fit!
hi everyone
sory i have been terible at keeping up - a combination of things really - comp not working well, been away at the coast twice, boys been sick and generally life a little out of control! But eveything is fine here with us!
I have had a quick skim - sorry if i have missed anything crucial...will ty to do some personals buy expecting M J up any min so may get cut short
Noni - wtg on the job front, when will you start? i dont think you need to worry about W - he sounds perfect and i guess he just caught up weight wise faster... i think they cant realy predict these things so accurately, and then we get hung up on what the dr/nurse says iykwim. sounds like you are doing a great job on the TT front also - wtg Asha!
Clare - woooooooo hooooooo on the house which sounds divine. is miss L loving her new room?
Rainy - sounds like your life is a little like mine atm. hope L is ok.
Ange - hugs re your bro.
Kate - wtg on the ttc and good luck! exciting!!
Trill - OMG re the scooter! he is A WILD CHILD!
Arte - wow on A sitting and rolling - my J is way off that still! i guess he wont top the class on the physical front! I dont know who asked re alphabet etc - N is quite amazing he knows the whole ABC, all colours, numbers etc - I am constantly amazed on that front. he is now into the concepts of 'imagining' (he shuts his eyes and tells us what he imagined) and 'remembering' he will say something that happened and then say 'I remember'. he is coming along leaps and bounds. we have a physio follow up tomorrow - i think they will be happy - he has improved so much on that front too - nowhere near doing what lots of yours do yet but way way better than he was. he seems to enjoy physicality more now too if that makes sense.
MD - hope you avoided the gastro. I wouldnt worry about her having a bet - the liking of that name though...
MM - hope the op goes well (sorry missed when it is). I bet you see a huge improvement after that is done. N hasnt been too sick this yr with kindy - am thankful for that!
oh gotta gp J is up - will try to come back later. love to you all and sorry such a bad buddy!
. I'm married to a trooper, no need to have my child swearing like one too.
