Trill, have a great time and enjoy the meet-up!

Ginger, yay for talking to JM.

We finally had good weather here today too - absolutely beautiful! DH took the kids on a bushwalk and they saw an actual real kiwi! I stayed at home so I missed out And it finally happened - the kids sat down and played by themselves for about half an hour! DH and I were both able to get something done, it was magic! They were playing with blocks and A had to have all the ones W was using - all I could hear from the other room was "Amia, nooooooo!" lol

W is another thrilled by the toilets at kindy - was the first thing he told the IL's about when they asked.

W has been wiping his own bottom since he started using the potty - so about 6 months now. It never really occurred to me to keep doing it and he did it without any prompting so I thought that was how it went lol, wasn't until I heard some of the mothers group ladies talking that I realised I was on easy street. He actually does a fair job. There aren't often skid marks in his undies so I assume he is wiping most of it off? On occasion I help if he is having trouble but most of the time he is self-sufficient. He also trims his own finger and toe nails

Arte - I remember seeing a kiwi on our very second day in NZ, it was one of those magic moments. Hope you're stocking up on sunlight, sounds like you've been really deprived. BTW (FB leakage) can't wait to hear all about what you've done in W's room.

Well I was supposed to get out in the garden today but I had a huge lie-in instead, even finished reading a novel(!) I was pretty tired, we went out for dinner last night (yummy greek restaurant), and then a movie. We hired a babysitter (first time ever) but to my great relief Evil Twin Deidre has stayed in Qld, and Missy E was happy as larry to have a special visitor looking after them for the evening.

Trill I also can't wait to hear about your big weekend away!

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend. It's not over here yet - woohoo for long weekends.

Well the weekend was wonderful! Onyx, Muppity and Dusty are just gorgeous women and it was so good to meet them after all these years. Onyx and Muppity did Floriade with me on Friday and on Saturday I stopped in at Dusty's place for a cuppa before I headed home and I didn't leave till nearly 1pm LOL! I could have stayed and chatted to her for hours. And I got to have snuggles with Baby Freya as well. Also did a bit of shopping. Mostly just trying stuff on and putting it back LOL, but still good to spend as long as you want doing that and not have to worry about the kids getting bored or playing chasies through the shop

[Ginger]

sounds absolutely wonderful trill. so jealous!!!!

[Cassius2]

oh sherie it sounds like you had a blast!! and yay for newborn baby snuggles! Freya looks gorgeous going by the ticker photo she has up *mwah*

MD: ohhh jealous of your night out! i LOVE greek cuisine...mmmmmm dolmades and dips mmmmmm.

Arte: ooohhh you are very lucky that W can wipe his own butt lol! it can be *quite* a job let me tell ya lol.

AFM: arghh! i have mastitis!! so boring and sore! so feeling a bit sorry for myself. not much else to report. got a bit sunburnt what with all that sunshine we had yesterday! ahhhh bring on summer! (and the sunscreen lol).

[Artechim]

Clare, bummer about the mastitis! But yay for the sunshine, doesn't it make such a difference to be able to get out in the sun (with sunscreen next time!)!

Trill, that sounds like a great meet up. Glad you had a good time.

MD, yay for a lazy day and for kids that don't scare the baby sitter away lol. W's room is a bit sombre for a three year old I think, but he really wanted it to be painted grey (or pink....so grey it is lol). I think the curtains are too dark as well but they are what he wanted and he loves it. Got a good light in there that makes it look like daylight in the dark so that helps.

Why have you guys got a long weekend? Is it Labour Day?

So enjoying the sunshine! Summer is actually on its way. I can't believe how different I feel just being able to get out in the sunlight and not be stuck inside all day, like a big dark cloud has lifted off me!

[Ginger]

cass- are you on the ABs?
