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!
