Arte, I have got bad news for you sweetie, the constant democracy & debate & compromise doesn't go away...it just gets more insistent LOL. Though I admit to having a chuckle about "well I'll just touch the shell then..."
Kate it is good to hear from you whenever you can jump on. Dont' forget to take your ginger!
Noni, relieved it's not CP tho rashes are never nice. Poor little chook scratching so hard she fell out of bed.
Trill have you tried those mortein mozzie things - it's like a little pad that you put inside this diffuser thing that plugs into a powerpoint (mortein?). I don't need them here but in Darwin they were a lifesaver (those big ol pointy nose dengue fever mozzies know how to get thru the flywire no probs).
Cally we're talking about swimming lessons after seeing my cousin's DD who is about the same age splashing about in the pool - she's been doing swimming for ages and you can really tell with her confidence & everything.
MP - really hoping it's not whooping cough, that sounds so nasty. I hope everything goes smoothly with your trip and everything. You sound pretty organised. As usual.
Well my girls went and stayed at their aunty's for a couple of days while DH and I went away to a Very Nice B&B on the coast. Highly recommend it. I came home "glowing" or so my sister tells me. Musta been the fresh sea air or something .
Speaking of the seaside, Clare your trip to Luna park sounds like loads of fun. There are rides and a horse drawn tram etc down on the coast here at Victor Harbor, was just saying to DH that we should head down during the hols. LOL at L's merrygoround phobia!
OH yeah MD, I'm sure it was the fresh sea air twilight zone moment coming up, but I got your package today (and MG how tiny and precious they are, I kept looking at them for ages ROFL - can't wait for Sunday to have cake now and use them) and for some reason I thought that the two of you needed to get away and reconnect a bit. And yep, I do have the mortein ones, I brought them the other day as woolies had them on special. so the kids have those in their rooms and then I burn mozzie coils as that covers the rest of the house but they are still getting bitten but I'm thinking that it happens in the late arvo when they are outside.
Arte, I can't believe he has gotten to this age without scraping a knee!!!! If I had $1 for everytime A has had a cut bruise or scrape I would be rich. And LOL at the democracy. Sometimes he is too smart for your own good ROFL.
OK, Trill, well I am going to get in early and say Happy Birthday - for tomorrow - and enjoy eating your birthday cake with your tiny splaydes LOL! Hope you have an excellent day. xxx
Trill, Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good one and enjoy your splaydes. I meant to say we constantly have bottles returned because they are too hot/cold, even though we always microwave them for the exact same time. I feel like a waitress at a bad coffee house lol. I am also amazed W made it this far without a scraped knee - when I say he is a very cautious child I am not kidding lol
MD, I was thinking of you and H the other day as W spewed forth a gigantic monologue with one big breath. I can accept that it is my comeuppance from being a very talkative child myself though lol
"What shall we talk about....ummmm....what about birds?...they go fast...there was one by William's picnic table, it flew away...they eat slugs and seeds and worms and slugs and catipitters and snaaaaillllls...they come from eggs" then he 'hatched' from under a blanket and ran around flapping his wings lol. If he is like this now then I am in for an ear full when he starts school and gets a case of the know-it-alls LMAO!
Not wanting to jinx us, but we now seem to have 8pm no fuss bedtimes!!! I am really happy. He gets up around 8am, no naps, then bed at 8pm. It all just fell into place over the last week. Unfortunately Amelia seems to have hit the 4 month sleep regression and now won't sleep in her cot for day sleeps and is waking early in the night and then another few times after I bring her to bed. Hopefully she sorts that out soon!
Kate- Congratulations being pg again We are so very happy for you.
Sherie- HAPPY BIRHTDAY and hope you have a wonderful day xoxoxo
Well we went to Australia Zoo yesterday and the kids had a ball. Kids and DH all good ATM The boys are off to C & K Kindy on thursdays and fridays starting the 28th Jan and for the first time I will have to be packing lunches, they will still be at day care on wednesdays. OMG they will be off to school next year and I am keeping my fingers crossed they get into our first choice of school.. what and adventure that will be. lol
LOL Arte at being a waitress in a bad coffee house. Some days I'm a chef at a bad restaurant LOL Cracking right up at W's monologue moment...fortunately for you he developed on a theme. With DD1 it was just (and still is) the same thing over and over...she feels so good saying whatever it is, invariably you get it more than once LOL.
Leanne - so good to see you hun...would love to take my kids to Australia Zoo but TBH I think DD1 would get more of a thrill than DD2 because she's the same age as Bindi so they kinda grew up together. Wow kindy and school...how time flies. Packing lunches hmmmm that gets old pretty fast. I had a bit of a moment the other day, we were clearing out DD1's room (again, it's perpetually on the brink of total chaos) and we came across the patchwork library bag I made before she started school. I was so distraught at the time because I had just taken a fulltime job which meant I wasn't going to be able to pick her up from school, pretty much EVER...I poured all my love into that dang library bag LOL. Anyway it's going in the box I'm keeping for her of keepsakes.
