another sparkly new thread for us to chatter away in
sorry i've been so quiet lately. my spare time is spent unpacking/rearranging/setting up for Christmas, as well as dealing with E being unsettled. this last eye tooth is giving her so much grief!! earlier tonight she was feeding, pulled off and said "hurts here mummy" and pointed to the tooth. she has crashed from pure exhaustion, with no dinner in her tummy - we could be in for a long night!

we've been given the green light by the RE to put in a vegie patch (provided we maintain it - well duh!). this morning we spent a few hours cleaning up the area we're putting it in, and then building the "fence" for it. we took some leftover fencing materials from the old house and realised the easiest way to create a strong wall to hold the soil of the garden was to build a short fence - so E was on pencil patrol "here daddy, no I hold" lol, C was measuring and cutting, and i was hammering it all together. starting to feel it a bit now - more from the cold than that actual activity though i think. Tonight we have put up some of our Christmas lights outside. still have a star and five sets of rope lights to put up, but we were all getting way too cold and tired so we called it quits.
