March and Feb 07 Kidz

Oh thats a gorgeous cake, is the photo just a normal photo on paper? ...I know you can get edible transfers of disney characters and stuff ...was looking them up on trade me last night but it's too late to get into all of that - maybe next year!!

Lucas LOVES lollies/chocolate ....moreso chocolate! Nana told me that nowadays you can supposedly get lil frog etc decorations at the supermarket so that might be our first stop. I think she was meaning edible decorations too. I want to spell his name out on the cake ....the number 1 b'day candle & lashings of choc icing (purely because I'm a chocoholic as is Lucas when I allow him to be one)

I think we will do the fancy B'day cake and big splash out Birthday party for his 2nd or 3rd Birthday (preferably when I'm working and can afford to do so) ...the amount of pressies I have for him more than make up for no B'day party ....hadn't realised how much I'd bought in advance in all the sales.

Woooo sooo excited, can't wait to get down on the ground with him and all the new toys

I still can't get over how gorgeous Alyssa's cake was ...and i LOVE that last photo you posted of her hehe so cute!!

OMG I love that cake. You laminate the photo so you don't ruin it. We did that cake for Andrew's 3rd birthday last year but he just wanted the lollies and no photo - easy enough for us.

Josh has been enjoying his time he has been having with daddy, its been good I can get my assignments done that I want to have done before he goes back to Waiouru. He goes on Wednesday so i'll be back then doing lots of posting .

Aww yay for Sam ...thats soo cool! I can't wait till Lucas is walking on his own, in the meantime its sooo cute when he pushes his trolley along with his bum sticking out like a duck hehe

BS I know the place you are talking about, they have such gorgeous wee outfits! I might drive through there on Saturday and take a look, thanks for letting us know!

Have you been in farmers lately? I went in to pick up a messy mat in their easter sale, couldn't help but take a squiz at the littlies clothing section ...the boys clothing is so unappealing (as per usual), however the girls stuff they've just got in is SO CUTE! ....so unfair,I find it hard to get my hands on decent boys clothing that actually looks nice.

Better jump off now, im tired as heck.

BS let me know when your inbox is empty so I can retype msg ...



And Mum2Sam will you be coming to botany meet up?

Edited by Mum2Lucas

LOL have emptied some out...oops! sorry!

yeah have seen the girls stuff = expensive forwhat it is tho....and the colours of tops dont match the bottoms...very weird! cute but weird!

buy ahead for next season for lucas in the sales too...we did for ella - she basically has one outfit for every day so it doesnt double even once in 3-4 weeks if need be

had an accident at cotton on tonight - called pink ugg boots (sooooo cute on her) two skirts, a gorgeous far far away top for next summmer and two soft toys - two cause she demanded the monkey and wouldnt let go of the lion...and they were only $2 each!!!

So am I the only one with a non walker???

LOL we have two parties on our fridge at moment...one is sams!!! def other ends of auckland tho! and petrol - dont go there with me - we put $150 in boat last week and $45 in today! argh!

Ella went for a swim today off back of boat - she DEMANDED to jump in with daddy. She was so upset every time he disappeared under water! So we put her togs on and her lifejacket over them and in she went...she was not happy - not warm like the pools! and it was about 8 metres deep...oh dear...was ok but not overly impressed.

She loves being on boat tho and has prety amazing sea legs...and sleeps - two sleeps - one in my arms while underway full throttle and the other while we were anchored - put her in cabin and we all went swimming in the shallow bay! auck weather was amazing today...and swimming was devine....but i am soooo sunburnt!!!

He cruises on furniture but doesn't stand by himself yet. He's too lazy I say as Andrew was running at 9 months - the day after he walked he ran

Yay for party invites BS We have two more on our fridge yet too, plus another definite to come for the day after Sam's!!! It's getting more and more expensive as the days go by Lucky I have already bought 50% of Sam's pressies. Her talking/singing Winnie the Pooh is in the spare room and everytime you open the door she motors in there and plays with him. That was sooo a winner!!!   Discover dome is hiding under the bed, slide & bean bag are on order! Phew

I am so jealous of your day out on the boat! I got to spend mine with my stupid Grandma! I should have replied to your PM sooner - maybe could have scored a spot and be miserably sunburnt with you

Mum2Lucas, did you get a cake recipe sorted out?

oops went to botany and warehouse had a sale...buy two toys get the third free....you know what is coming...for just under $200 we got the range of barbie fairy princess stuff (what do u call it with the elephants and the monkey etc) and one large fisher price to that she didnt have, a large stables of "little people" and their horses and a huge coastguard helicopter (daddy will love that - heres hoping he doesnt come on and read this!) - all to put away for xmas....score!!!

then we had lunch watching kids doing dancing on stage - ehy were terrible i am sorry but that dance school has a lot to answer for with the way those kids had no idea of what they were meant to be doing....but ella loved that kids were on stage to loud music and clapped heaps and squealed! LOL! NOW she is pretending to sleep...had a coughing fit before and woke up - we seem to cough when teething...argh!

I shouldn't be telling this story DH will be horrified
but I remember Ella and BSDH had a similar less painful experience.
Anyway DH showers Alyssa most nights, up until recently he has held her but as she can stand/walk etc he has started putting her down to play in the shower. Well the other night she slipped and reached out/up for something to steady herself with.......DH said it took a few seconds (seemed like a life time ) to get her balance.

OMG I haven't laughed so hard in ages DH didn't appreciate the joke.
