G - Christmas especially must be a difficult time for your family. I'm sure your Mum would be so proud of you and the beautiful little boys you have brought into this world.
Clare - hope you've been having an enjoyable time with your grandparents. Hope you're not getting too wet up here. Safe trip home.
Trill - Hope the kids left out some extra special treats for Santa - sounds like he needed caffeine to keep him awake!!!
md - glad you and the family had a wonderful Christmas. I shed a tear with your beautiful words about BB and our wonderful little group. i too would never have thought that 3 years later, I'd still be at my putie 'talking' with my friends. I tell you guys more than what I tell my friends IRL. So, really, you ladies are my BOLFF's. (Best on line friends forever!!!! ) lol.
Arte - I'm so glad you have your happy W back. Just in time for Christmas
We've had a wonderful time catching up with family over the past 2 days. The girls were spoilt - and so was I.
Hannah has been so funny - everything is hers at the moment. I'd picked up a bit of rubbish off the floor and she said ' Hey! That's mine!! She's also started saying
'oh all right' (in an exasperated tone) when i ask her to do something.
Anyway, heading off to the coast tomorrow for 3 weeks. Dh will have his laptop (got the latest Call of Duty pc game for his birthday ) so i'll still be able to catch up.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Clare I *****ed up my ears when I heard the word Coonabarabran on the news last night ...that was before I knew you were there...had a feeling it affected someone I knew! I hope you're able to keep yourselves entertained (and above water!) until the road conditions improve...stay safe my lovely!
Trill - love your descriptions of the kids playing with their stuff!
Jazah - BOLFFs - I love it! We're having attack of the Mine!s here too...over really random stuff as well. We had friends visit this morning for a Chrissy morning tea, exchanged gifts, poor E was crushed because she saw a parcel change hands and thought MINE! and it wasn't LOL. Luckily another gift was shortly forthcoming so all good then. Enjoy your coastal soujourn, soak up lots of good rest and fun so you're all set for a new year. xxx
Thinking of MP thick in the middle of her move and everything.
Cally, enjoy your blobbing around, I hope you get in some nice qual time with your DH before he's off playing cricket up and down the coast LOL.
How's everyone pulled up after Christmas? Kids still playing happily with their toys? I'm very tired - it's been a big few days for me but also great. Looking forward to some quiet family time tonight - just can't get enough of my lovelies at the moment.
LOL Clare, what were the odds of it finally raining this much at this time of year? We've just had another lovely heavy storm pass over. We were just about to cart water too but we have been saved in the nick of time again.
Jaz that is so cute. i can just picture her doing that. Does she roll her eyes when she says it as well? Alister gets the 'no, MINE's' happening too ROFL. Trying to take something off him when he has his heart set on it is like trying to wrestle a bone off a dog.
MD I was cut short and didn't get to reply to you Today I feel like Christmas is over for the year - the last of the rubbish from presents is all gone and everything tidied up properly so bar the tree still being up it is back to normal. Kids are still happily playing with everything which is great. Everyone was on a winner with what they got the kids and nothing was excessive kwim? We don't have a house full of new toys that we don't know where we are going to store. DH is back at work tomorrow so it will be back to the same old same old here.
Oh and Clare, are you travelling on the Newell hwy? If you did you passed literally within 14kms of my house!
Hey Cally! I missed your post. blobbing around has been on the agenda here too - too wet for anything else.
It still feels like post-christmas here - we had visitors and exchanged gifts last night and again this morning - the kids are still discovering their toys - a few of which are still lying around - still eating ham and the remains of the mince pies - and enjoying my pink chrissy tree (still got the lights on hehe). We spent a lot more $ this year (we felt like everyone deserved an extra special treat after the year we've had) but it was quality not quantity pressies so no hassles putting things away here either. The kids slept in this morning AGAIN and tonight we're gonna catch up with some of the chrissy telly we missed ...I'm determined to make the holiday feeling last until Tues when 'normal' life starts again (ie interfacing with the outside world) with a visit to the surgeon & a trip into town to look at the sales if I can stand it.
Just poking my head in so I get the thread updates. IL's here, Christmas morning was a fun. Biggest hits were a bug collector and a Mack truck from Cars that the other cars can park inside.
MP, I must have missed that you were moving so soon, hope all is going well
Clare, hope the floods weren't too much of a problem and you had a good Christmas with your family.
Trill, I am also wondering where to store all the extra stuff. Not that they got lots, but I hate clutter.
Sounds like everyone had a good day.
I got a voucher for some books and I was wondering if anyone has read the TrueBlood series?
