Noni- great news :dance: you must be very relieved. ikwym about W liking the paper LOL
Jaz- your shoes sound great. had to laugh at you trying to cash the vouchers and getting laughed at :lol:
mp- great news about your melb nanny. are you looking forward to the move? have you been to the new doncaster shoppingtown yet? you will love it there, i just know ;)
girls i'm not sure if i told you but one of my best friend's is due to have her second baby on sunday...so excited to meet her! she's hanging to have her out LOL it's so hard when you're down to the last few days. it's v exciting.
girls i forgot to tell you about the cool presents we bought for the boys for xmas- we got them one of those little tikes cozy coupe cars each- the 30th anniversary ones. they are so cute! and we got lewis a blue tea cup set and a hammer and pegs board and jimmy a hairbrush with dinosaurs on it LOL
g - those cars are fantastic. Hannah got a hand me down one, and the big girls even like riding in it, so you should get your money's worth there ;)
i know! everytime we go to the play centre lewis rides around in one for ages so i think they're gonna love cruising around the deck in them!
Ginger, cosy coupe sounds like soooo much fun! Missy E has been playing with her wheely bug rather a lot lately - unfortunately she likes to stand on it, circus bareback rider style so it ends in tears LOL. The teacup set will be very well played with I'm sure!!!
Thanks Jazah. Of course if you'd met me IRL like Trill has you would know it looks *exactly* like me :rofl:.
MP well done getting the nanny sorted, hope everything else goes smoothly as you prepare for your move. Such a lot to get done!
Yay Noni what a relief!!! Hope the drs can get whatever it is sorted for DH soon, not nice to have problems with your parts.
Well it's starting to feel a lot like Christmas isn't it? Hoping DH will get the lights out tomorrow when the weather fines up (it's drizzly here today).
It is feeling lots like xmas. i'm finding it so much more exciting now that we have the littlies (:
it's drizzly here too.
md- lewis doesn't really like his wheelybug, i have to say it really has been a flop around here. hopefully j likes it when he's big enough. miss E sounds like quite a dare-devil!
i'm not sure if you've already said it but what have you got planned for xmas day?
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 :lol:. Anyway my job on the day will be sit on my butt and say "Pass me the champers thanks". Gotta love that :)
That sounds like a great xmas....i hope there's lots of dessert involved LOL
We're just heading to my dad's house for pressie opening, roast and champers! LOL
I've just sent dh up the road to get our usual friday night dinner one day early :) -pizza!!!
Hi girls!
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 :lol:
hope L is feeling much better soon.
G - I think N has the same hairbrush - is it navy blue??
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..........
Everyone Xmas sounds awesome
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.
Jazah, I'm so sorry to hear you have lost your gorgeous Grandma. I'll light my memorial candle for her tonight. Sending you all love. xxx
Jaz, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma :hug: I know it was hard for you these past few months.
Thanks everyone :hug:
I know that she will be much happier where she is now ( i don't know exactly where that is, but in my mind it's a beautiful place)
I'm feeling a great deal of guilt at the moment, because i stopped going to visit her after she yelled at me. It really gave me a fright. Thankfully i had taken the girls to see her on Monday, and she looked beautiful. Her hair had just been done, and she was smiling and talking to us. She certainly didn't look like someone who was about to pass away. the girls all gave her a kiss and a cuddle - so we have a lovely final memory of her. She was the last of the girls great grandparents, and I'm really feeling it. An old lady in her little pope mobile stopped to admire the girls and have a chat at the shops this morning. After she'd zoomed off it hit me that I don't have any cute little old people left to give cuddles too. Might have to adopt one me thinks ;)
anyway, off to dh's work christmas party this arvo, and Hannah has been in fine form this morning. Have put her into bed for a sleep now, so hopefully she won't be Little Miss Cranky pants while we're there. (dh trimmed her nails last night :redface:)
