MP that standby meal would be a hit here too. they love doing it all by themselves

G: that is great news that you can already see improvement with his sleep. amazing stuff...i have a *feeling* that my L needs to have her tonsils out. she has these humungous beauties that leave very little space. she has quite a laboured breath when she sleeps

MD: i like meals on a budget! especially scrumptious casserole style ones. YUM! i am so addicted to the slow cooker it aint funny. in fact i saw a great recipe on Oprah website (a fancy-pants dhal basically lol), and tried it in the slow cooker and oh yummo!

AFM: today we had a beautiful day. my opa arrived in town late last night and we all decided to visit our friend who lives on a property out near healesville. his house burnt down in the black saturday fires and (finally!) he got approval 3 days ago to rebuild, so we went out to visit the old site and help burn off the cleared trees (such a weird thing to do: surrounded by charcoal-black trees standing on a site that was once his bedroom burning off shrubs lol). anyway...it was so beautiful, the birds singing, the girls jumping on the trampoline (spookily enough it survived the fire! the only thing!) and overlooking the valley. such a lovely sunny day too...ahh if only every day could be awesome like that.
