the theme this month was 'landscape'. we had a few from our italy trip to choose from, but i remember Jaz mentioning that she like the light and colour of this one when it was on FB...so thought that there might be something in it LOL!
Christmas - I have totally gone overboard!! I'm just looking forward to how excited she is going to be with everything! So far she is getting:
- 150 wooden blocks
- Set of 40 little Thomas books
- flip out sofa
- Celebration Mr Potato Head
- Blinky Bill book
- clothes
- the most gorgeous wooden doll cradle that she is going to go ape over! (and I bought a very similar bed for my niece too)
then I have a stack of little things for her stocking (playdoh tools, plastic jewellery, crafty things, sand pit things). She is going to be spoilt. And I am too scared to check the credit card statement after my weekend in Canberra!
Ginger - I would go for Melbourne, but then I have dealt with Sydney and wouldn't want to go back whereas I really haven't experienced Melbourne. Wish I could go to a spa!!
MP - did N enjoy Playschool? K really wasn't very sure about it all. She only got into a couple of songs.
Clare - gorgeous pic!!
Doing our tree this weekend - will be so much fun!
Arte - I am still on the hunt for giant pumpkins, they haven't been in stock when I tried. Will plant our butternuts this weekend (hopefully).
DH is working from home for the next fortnight (yes could be tricky as he is a teacher - lol!). Normally he gets all term to do the timetable and this year he is getting less than three weeks which is just ridiculous. Last week he was flat out with only 4 hours sleep a night getting everything else finished because the other staff keep bothering him with stupid questions so hopefully he will be a bit more human this week with some more sleep! Fingers crossed it all goes well! He's also forgoing cricket for a fortnight - pretty impressive after his 219 not out on Saturday - at least the $800 bat has finally started working!
Congrats on that pic Cassius...it is stunning! I must try that chamomile and honey. Anything to knock me off to sleep hehe.
Art - you are so not alone in the tanty stage with our brats..I mean, kids lol. Sarahs are amazing but frustrating.
Cally - I'm glad the bat has paid off...for that money you'd want it to hit a few centurys lol
Ginger - I am so jealous of the dayspa...I want to book in for at least a pedi this week but will see how i go time wise.
Cally - I am not going to even list what we've got for S. There are some things that are left over from her bday. I thought she had enough then so didn't give them to her. Then there are some things that I got thru chrisco, plus a few things that I've grabbed along the way. Then on top of all that...I saw the Aldi catalogue yesterday! Has anyone else seen the gorgeous wooden market stall for $69? I'm loving it and can't stop thinking about it So spoiled miss might be very lucky this year (like thats any different from any other year lol)
I thought I'd also pop on and share with you girls before many others know...Sarahs going to be a big sister next year. Due early August, so very early on but sort of had an inkling as soon as it happened. I had that HSG (dye thru the tubes to clear out and check for blockages) as well as starting clomid. DH was lucky enough to be able to time his visit back and make it last long enough to do the job.
(Oh, and shhh on facebook pls *wink*)

Oh Kate, how exciting, congratulations sweetie and wishing you ! Well done on the sweet timing
Cally, I think K's gonna have an amazing Christmas! Missy E's getting her kitchen that we didn't end up giving her at her birthday, along with some saucepans & food, and a wooden train set. I've got a few books and a packet of textas as well. Missy E would love a little dolly cradle (where did you find yours?) but I think her aunty might be on the trail of a dolly bed for her.
Clare, congrats on the winning photo - that would be a great one to frame. It has pictorial value, kwim?
Sorry gals, I'm team Jacob. Just can't get with the cold-as-marble thing at all. BTW Edward Cullen IS morbidly depressed in the novel, can't see that's a point of difference with the movie at all.
Arte, really wanted ot give you some hugs & reassurance. You're doing a great job. Toddlers are really contrary, and I would imagine W is harder to distract (having a good memory) so - hang in there with your first pancake!
Katie, I didn't make it past the door - took one look and walked out again LOL.
Well I'm "right out there" this week - frantic to get everything done by the weekend but not in a state of mind to concentrate to do it. Have to keep reminding myself I"m the only person in the universe who expects me to do any of this stuff On friday we have DH's work christmas treat for the kids, DD1 has decided she'd prefer to go on her class excursion but I"m sure MIssy E will have a blast. Fun fun fun.
MD - I totally know that feeling, DH gets annoyed with me rushing around to do things that I am the only one that wants it to be done. Take a deep breath!!
Kate - yes I saw the market stand!! Am so tempted, but so conscious that we do not have room for all this stuff in our house! and of course a huge
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Just spent an hour and half at the doctors. BORING!!
