well, i would say Lewis sits somewhere inbetween William and Leila on the eating stakes LOL some days he definitely eats more than others, and sometimes it depends what the food on offer is iykwim? like, he can put away a whole happy meal no worries whatsoever but will pick the cheese out of a salad sandwhich and leave the rest- cheeky bugger!
he has a habit of eating the tops off crumpets, cheese and bacon rolls etc. ie. only eating the good stuff. very annoying.
having a quiet home day around here today. gotta go to a xmas dinner for dh's work tonight- leaving L with dad but taking J.
well Falguni will be happy to know that it looks as though we're staying right here in the hills for a few more years. i think that dh began to realise that the grass may be greener but it's just as hard to mow iykwim? and began to realise how good we have it here. i tell you what, some of the absolute dumps in sydney that we were looking at on the internet for 750k really gave us some perspective on how good we've got it!
I'm away for a week and what happens? You better all get chatting again cos I'm going home tomorrow. New boob starting to look like one, good colour now, not going to turn blue and drop off haha.
That's good because I would hate to think that you are doomed to spend the rest of your life walking around in circles from only having one counterweight Seriously though, it's super wonderful to hear that you are heading home and that the boobenheimer looks like it is supposed to look. I had a tear in my eye knowing that we are going to have you around for a long time yet and that the outcome was the best possible one to get
As for me, well it just never stops around here! I am finally caught up on Avs. Uni is all set to go for next year and the kids are great.
MD: ooohhhh home time!!!!! so so stoked that your booby is healing! what a relief this must be! big phat hugs xx
and you're right, it has been awful quiet lately...hope that's because everyone is busy doing chrissy shopping...
BTW...where is JaZmum?
G: did you read in the paper today that they reckon house prices are going to just get worse (ie more exxy) for the next 3 years at least...urghhh, this means that sydney will get even crazier...if that's possible! so glad that we are no longer in the market.
Sherie: are you excited about going to uni next year? it's for a Bach of Ed isnt it? arghh cannae remember!
AFM: well Dh is coming home tomorrow! YIPEEEEE! have missed him like crazy..which i think is really nice IYKWIM...and we have been calling everyday and chatting for ages: which is a miracle for DH in itself, he really doesnt like phones.
Leila and i went to the rally "walk against warming" yesterday. we had a blast! so many people, it was really fun and friendly and loads and loads of families were part of it. and today we went visiting friends and ate lots of cake...so all good! leila is now having a nanna nap and i will follow shortly.
hope everyone is having a lovely day!
Clare it is a Bachelor of Ed (Primary) - I am really looking forward to it. I guess you will have a pretty good reunion with DH?
Someone said something about the washing I had to do on the trip? It wasn't that bad at all as our cabin had a washing machine so I did a few loads to stay on top of it so all I had to wash when we got home were the swimmers and towels because the kids had a swim while I was packing up. It was wonderful to get away. PP, if you want another weekend away I highly recommend Merry Beach - not that much further up the coast from batemans bay and so tranquil. We had no phone coverage unless we walked up the hill and it was nice not to have that link kwim? The kids had a ball - pool to the back of us and beach to the front of us. A didn't like the ocean much though LOL but had a ball making sandcastles. We are planning on going back in March/April next year with friends and staying longer.
Did a bit of shopping in BB on the way back through - spent a bomb at the surf shop on the corner Cally. Brought new havaiana's for A and the tiniest pair of speedos plus some shirts for the kids.
Took A and P to the Bananas in Pyjamas show on Friday and he HATED it! totally freaked him out. he was fine while they had the crowd warmer out - a woman dressed in mrs claus clothes but every now and then a banana would pop his head out and wave at the kids and every time he did it A would freak out and start screaming to go home. He was terrified of them. I think because they were so tall and I don't think he was expecting that kwim? he was OK by the end of the show and we got to 'meet' one but he wouldn't get too close to him.
sorry Trill, but i had to laugh at A freaking out at the banannas! i think L would've been really scared too LOL glad you had a great time. it's really nice having no phone reception sometimes isn't it?
just make sure you know the word 'pedagogy' before you start your B Ed LOL because you will hear it NON_STOP!!!!! and it will completely do your head in! LOL you'll know what i'm talking about soon
md- yah for coming home!!! woo hoooooo you're doing so well girl, what a wonderful xmas you'll have this year.
clare- i can't believe house prices are going to go up even more! we've decided to just sit tight as we've git it pretty good here and our mortgage is low. we even have our on dirt-bike track, you can't get that in sydney! LOL
enjoy dh coming home. i wonder if he'll notice leila has grown up since he's been gone?
pap- 30% off everything at CR this thurs...i'm there at 9am!
Clare I can't believe your DH is only getting home now...seems like he was gone for aaaaages! Enjoy the reunion (*wink wink*) yaknow absence makes the heart grow fonder....
Trill LOLing at Banana Alert! Glad he warmed up towards the end. Funny little critters. Missy E dances and sings like a cabaret regular at home, FDC, at the shops, etc, but is *always* daunted when it's dance and sing time at kindergym - totally random!
And LOL at escaping a lifetime of walking in circles - tho right now I'm travelling in a loooong slow arc since the NooBoob is BIGGER than the other . Not that it matters since they've both squished into the dang ugliest beige post-surgical grandma bra you have ever seen in Your Entire Life including any times you mighta seen your own granny in her underwear. Kinda grateful now I shopped for christmas clothes with high necklines and frill distractions cos all my regular clothes will look awful with this baby on underneath.
Ginger PMSL @ pedagogy. Been there! Re your decision - The grass on the other side might be greener but it's just as hard to mow (Or am I having an opiate moment and you already said that??!). Enjoy your CR time on Thurs!
Apologies to everyone else, I've been reading on the iphone - but can't remember *anything*. Will try to catch up since I'll be sitting in my recliner an awful lot this week! Is Arte on holidays or something? And yeah where's Jazah
Speaking of Where's....MIssy E's learning her Question Words right now. We're getting (endlessly repeated) What you eating, what you doing, where are you, Where daddy? I can tell we're a very short step away from the ULTIMATE toddler word....WHY???!!! Bracing myself for that LOL
Seriously though, it's super wonderful to hear that you are heading home and that the boobenheimer looks like it is supposed to look. I had a tear in my eye knowing that we are going to have you around for a long time yet and that the outcome was the best possible one to get
