md - if i wore shorts like the ones in my av, astronomers would mistake my legs for the moon's surface!!! It's nice to look like the way we feel inside
i love Christmas!!! We went for a drive around the streets looking at the christmas lights - some people go to so much effort to make others happy. it's lovely.
I think we'll go for the looking-at-lights drive on the weekend, I'll feel more like sitting in the car by then I hope. I need more mince pies in my life after last year when the gallstones stopped me LOL.
Yep Missy E is a bit of a daredevil, her balance and strength & physical confidence are so much higher than H's at the same age.
Christmas starts on Christmas Eve here - dinner with my parents & stepmums family (DD's cousins will be there). Usually a late night. So we have a bit of a sleep in on Christmas Day, get up, ham on toast for breakfast & pressies - lots of pressies. Then my sis is cooking us all Christmas lunch, seafoody this year. She keeps talking about a hawaian theme. WT...??! I didn't know Christmas needed a theme... Christmas IS the theme . Anyway my job on the day will be sit on my butt and say "Pass me the champers thanks". Gotta love that
G: i am soooo JEALOUS of your CR escapade today!! i was also looking at the 30th anniversary edition of the Coupe...ahhhh i soo want it for leila. i remember at house inspections it would always end in tears because leila wanted to ride in the ones that all the houses all seemed to have!! i will have to butter DH up for that one though...they are selling for just over 200 over our way...but like Jazah said, i reckon you get your moneys worth considering they recommend up til 6 years of age (at least IMO!).
Junglemum: lovin' the new name!
MD: i'm coming your way for christmas next year!! sounds like a blast!!!
Jazah: last time we looked at christmas lights was with my grandparents...my opa kept mentioning this really BIG light display that he has driven past a few times and we must go past...turns out that what he thought was a big christmas light display were the floodlights of the local funeral parlour LOL! poor Opa was sooo embarrassed!
Arte: yeah we are heading up to see my grandparents. just hoping that leila has beaten the lurgy by the time we get there as oma cant really be exposed to all the ghoulies ATM.
that is so cool how far along W is with his alphabet! leila has made nooo attempt at all!
Noni: phew, that must be a relief for your DH. and i also like the dummy for santa idea!
MP: it was also Leilas last day at kindy for the year too... sniff sniff, so many cute things that she made! and i love looking at her journal and seeing how much she has grown!
AFM: all good here. Leila is getting over a big headcold (thankfully, as it has resulted in horror nights as you can all imagine). managed to finish off the christmas shopping...albeit a bit despondent when i saw all the pretty playmobil, brio trains and LT Coupes...ah well, another time! got leila a soccer ball and goal set, an ITNG umbrella...she loves umbrellas, an iggle piggle toy (sensing a theme here LOL!?), some PA pyjamas and a bunch of books...
clare - that is so funny about the christmas lights. L sounds like she's getting some lovely things from Santa. H is getting a tutu, ballet slippers and headband - and a matching tutu for her baby. I also got her a magnetic reward chart and some togs. Haven't gone overboard this year, which is a shame because i love spending way too much money on the girls
hope L is feeling much better soon.
Ahhh Christmas is such a wonderful time of year....... I really do love it. DH has put the xmas lights on the house and they look awesome.... We got Livi a barbie bike, ride on trike, nursery and a doll, the boys got bigger bikes, green machines, car sets. Xmas breaky DH mum is coming over and lunch we go to my auntys where my mum and dad will be theb back to our house for dinner where DH mum and brother are coming back over... Then on Boxing day we are resting and the kids can play with there toys..........
Jazah, so sorry for the loss of your grandmother, I know she was dearly loved. Thinking of you and your family.
Clare, W wasn't really interested in the alphabet either until DH found the puzzle a couple of weeks ago, then he loved it. Glad that Miss L is over her head cold. Touch wood, but we have been sickness free for about 3 whole months! It has been great!
MP, is tomorrow the last day of Chanukah? I have to admit I know next to nothing about it, but Happy Chanunkah, I hope you have had a good week.
We are delaying Christmas until the 28th when the IL's arrive. So actual Christmas day will be a bit of a non-event here.
