SW - forgot to say thank you so much for the spinny thing! I have been putting her on it every day. She does like it, but she gets frustrated after about ten minutes. Then when you go to take her off it she clings on to the ladybug thing! LOL I have also laid her on her back and sat her up on it and spun it around... she loves it sitting up!
Tenny - just saw the photos of those two little boys they were so gorgeous... it's so sad.
missy - glad you're feeling a bit better!
Mel - boxers are the Bear's favourite! Sure you don't want to move to Sydney? Lots of law firms and architects here

[Arimeh]

Pixie - sydney scares me!!!

Missy - awww thanks - i'm not really funny - but thanks!!

DS is supposed to be having another nap - but apparently running around the house with a lump of wood from our bed and saying "team work" is a better option

[thepixie]

K I posted some photos:
Daddy's girls
Alyssa & Beth
Play nicely girls
Huggles
Mmmm are you sure that's the quickest way
hmmmmm can you tell I'm avoiding housework?

[Arimeh]

Missy - not moved yet. Still in moving mode =) I'm flying to Adelaide with Alyssa on the 3rd of Dec, cats on the 4th, hubby on the 7th (after dealing with the removalists). The furniture should arrive about a week later!

Gonna be camping on a blow up mattress on the floor for a while and living on takeaway me thinks!

Tenny - V sad about those kids and their dad =( Excellent reminder to always use the brake when the pram is unattended, just awful that it came at such a terrible cost to someone =\

Pix and Mel - great pics, both of you!

[Missy]

Oh love those photos. Great. I had a good Laugh too at the girls on the floor..

SW ok cool. Are you getting excited. Oh take away sounds good.

[Jewel]

Pixie and SW - Your girls are such cuties! Those pictures are great!

It's so so so so sad. Her little boys ages were between my two. It makes you stop and treasure every moment cause you're not sure what's going to come around the corner.
I know that's real gloomy, but it's so true.

Mel - Lol @ your DS. That's funny. My DS1 is all attitude today. He's trying to boss me around more then usual.

SW - Wow. So much happening for you guys.

Belle - CUTE AVATAR! Looks fantastic. WOW 15 cases at the daycare? That's loads of cases. I hope Julia didn't get any of it. The whooping cough is going around here, and they actually had to close the daycare here cause of that. It's scary.

Missy - Lol @ Melissa watching you as you're reading the books and seeing your expressions. My sister was like that with these books I'm reading. I hope your DH feels better soon.

Lol! DS1 has started this thing where he answers his own question which what he thinks I'll reply with. Like he'll go 'What can I have to eat, Mum?" then before I answer he goes "Elijah stop being such a garbage guts."
Btw, I only said that to him once when all he wanted to eat non-stop was junk the other day. Hahahahaha.

Belle! Wasn't ignoring you, love. Was just in a rush! Hugs at ya =)

Tenny - lol - you've been moving house too!! If anything, this is easier. Interstate, so more excuse to make someone else deal with it and just give them money I think it will be harder when our house is built and ready for moving in to. It's only a 5 min drive away from where we're moving to now, so I'll prolly be doing countless trips back and forth to take all the small stuff myself. Gee, can't wait for that one. The house should rock, though! =)

Missy - am very excited to get there, but not so excited about the actual move... Will be great to have Alyssa around her cousins. We have quite a few friends here in Canberra with babies, but no family. Plus we have an awesome beach house to stay at in Adelaide (hubby's uncle owns it, lives overseas. It's his holiday pad, but he wants it to look "lived in" , so weekends will be fab!! =))) Hope Alyssa likes the beach!

Am happy - had a productive afternoon. Did lots of washing, went down the street to deal with lawyers (for the sale of this house) etc, and picked up Alyssa's laptop from the friend that we loaned it to! It's one of those OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) machines - can't wait until she's old enough to use it!! Mind you, will probably have gotten her about 4 new ones by then as new models are released Very cute and unbreakable!

[Arimeh]

Thats what I forgot in my last post - damn DS making me lose my concentration - Belle - I love your Avvy - it looks brilliant!!!

Now what else.. awfully distracted today - DS must be feeling a bit better cos he keeps torturing the cats. We're in old school cloth nappies today (flats) damn antibiotics giving him the runs...

SW - room at that beach house for 4 more?

Tannis.. oh yes do take pics of Jayden's santa sack.. would love to see it. I love al Christmasy stuff! Ive also ordered some of the stockings for all of us.. you know the ones you hang on the window sil.. theyre coming from America. So once they come, will have to show them off too. Ooow yes take pics of the blankets too! Id love to get blankets done. My gf has got some embroided for her girls with their birth dates and theyre gorgeous.

Mel.. glad do hear A is on the mend! lol you stink woman. Oh i reckon.. i felt like a maid. Never again though! Im glad though my MIL is the complete opposite. As soon as she walks in the door she asks what she can do or how she can help. Even when she has a day off work she always calls and tells me if i need anything, or if i want to go out and want her to watch the kids, to give her a call. Ao really appreciate that.

Tenny.. oh it is so sad hey. Its always horrible hearing those types of tragities in the media. lol re Elijah.. cheeky monkey. How you feeling lately hun? Hows he behaving? Oh i know.. she would sit and smile or talk to Jesse but never got up and played with him or picked up Keira unless i asked her to. (she has 4 other grandkids so not like she doesnt know how to pick up a baby either). Ahh well.

Pixie.. cute pics! Aww poor Beth.. hope, if it is teething, those teeth come through soon and not prolong that pain for her. Yes i will be saying that next time thanks hun.

Missy.. haha as long as you do the washing up, whenever you want! lol. Awww what a sick bunch you are... hope youre all feeling better soon.

Had a killer headache this arvo.. gone now thank goodness.
Have a day of cleaning ahead tomorrow.. though the house aint that bad. Did all the washing today and cleaned our shower so least thats all done..
Might get an early night.. nite nite

Mornin'

I wish I was more into the christmas spirit. Lol. Maybe I'll get there next month? :P

I so never knew about not putting sunscreen on babies. I've put it on Bubbablue a couple of times. I had a look on the tube of it and it doesn't even say anything about ages. Wtf?!?

Kell - I've been pretty good lately, thanks. Elijah hasn't been too bad actually. Some days are a nightmare, but those are days are getting better and we're not having so many of them in a row like before. How's Jesse going? Loving Keira to pieces still?
You'd think grandparents would be dying to play with/pick up their grandkids. Mine are. My dad tries to hide that he's dying to hold Haydie but you can see it. Lol.
Have fun with the cleaning.

Tan - LOL @ J counting with you when he's in trouble. It's so hard not to smile or whatever when they do it. Elijah and I counted to 100 the other day alternatively and he only had a few little mistakes. I'm so proud of him.

Mel - I'm glad DS is feeling better.

SW - The little trips are what annoyed me the most, aswell as DP's lack of help. :P I'd never heard of that laptop thing before. What exactly is it? Elijah uses our laptop to play Gamehouse games. We play Iggle pop together. Lol.

We're just waiting for DP to come home so we can get our immunsations. Yippee
It's a pretty quiet day for us today. It's preschool dayyyy! YAY!!!!!!!!

everyone. Hope you all have a fantastic day + weekend.
MIL will be here tonight so I won't be around for a few.

xx
Lotsa errors with the site today for me.

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) machine is probably better known as the $100 laptop - they were pretty big in the news last year. The idea behind them being a cheap to produce laptop so that EVERY child can have one. They have been getting distributed to poor areas where computer education for kids has previously been unheard of. Most of this has been overseas in countries like Africa and Brazil, but we have an organisation here in Australia distributing them to small communities in the Northern Territory, etc. They're REALLY awesome little laptops and provide the kids with an excellent foundation to understand computers, networking, programming, etc. And they're soooo cute and designed to be unbreakable by little people! They fold up into a little green and white case shape complete with handle and padding in case of drops and bumps!

We have one here as a development machine. The first few batches were given to programmers in the linux community so that we could develop software for them and help remove any problems remaining with the operating system and the applications already on there. It will be a perfect little toy for Alyssa to play with once she's interested in computers =)
