March and Feb 07 Kidz

Hi all. Hope everyone has had a great week. Noah seems to be settling in to daycare well. No tears when we dropped him off at all this week but a friend of mine said not to be surprised if after 2 weeks he has a meltdown. Something about it dawning on him that this isn't a temporary thing. He's had a little bit of a runny nose this week but seems to take it all in his stride. Walking so much more confidently now. Little ray of sunshine. DH much easier to live with now he's at work too.

Shaz - what do you do with your older girls in the school holidays? I've booked Christopher in to our staff childrens holiday programme. Thankfully they had spaces left cos I had totally forgotten about it till last Friday!! Its so good as its heavily subsidised by our HR dept so its only $15 a day - a third of what others charge.

Been super duper busy at work this week. Happy that its the weekend. Not much planned at all. I like these kinds of weekends.

OMG I put my fingers in Josh's mouth this afternoon to have a feel around. 8 yes 8 teeth are either popping through or just about to come through.

Yeah I did wonder why he was being overly upset. I could feel 5 have come through and 3 more sitting in the gums. He did love it when I was having a feel around in there as I put a bit of pressure on them.

Big ouchies mummy becks. Hope all those teeth pop out sooner rather than later.

We've had a couple of 5am wake ups this week BS and I think it might have had something to do with the cold weather we've been having. We had heaters on all night last night and much of this morning too. Def getting colder down here. It does suck when you have so much to do before going on holiday and then usually come back to a pile of stuff too. Hope your time at work goes quickly today though and Ella has fun at swimming. Cute at feeding tiger brekkie. Hope you are feeling better. Hugs.

We are really lucky with the holiday programme through work Shaz. Sooooo cheap. It costs my SIL $35 for each of her two boys so $70 per day and thats $700 for the whole school holidays. In the past we've taken turns looking after our three boys and thats worked ok. Might do that later in the year.

Thinking about going in to work later on today aswell - quite a bit to do. I made tonight's dinner last night as well as a couple of dinners to go in the freezer and my first ever attempt at pumpkin soup to take for lunches this week. Its really yummy. Feeling quite proud of myself if not a little housewifey LOL!! Hmmmmm could really do with a coffee... How was botany yesterday BS?

Yay for Ozzy holiday Becks. Three of my work mates and I are going next year for Mine and my mate Dales 40th B'day's. We have been saving $20.00 a fortnight for about 2 years now so far we have about $3800.00 between us and another year still to go. So lots of shopping, eating and I'm sure drinking will be going on . We haven't decided a destination yet we are still tossing up between Melbourne and Brisbane. I've never been to Brisbane just Surfers Paradise and the theme parks. But I love Melbourne so kind of hoping that will be where we go, not that it really matters we will have a great time anyway.
We've also been thinking about going all to Disneyland when we all get made redundant (with kids and DH's not just us this time). We won't be going with the Kids With Arthritis this year, just can't afford to so maybe we will go in a few years time.

I spoke too soon about the meltdown at DC she did it this morning.
So BS your theory was correct as she has been there for two weeks. I hope it is just this once because it's just too sad walking away. I'm also thinking it's because she has been sick and hadn't been since last Monday so probably thought she wasn't going to have to got back.

OUCH BS, poor Ella. Bet that left a mark

This might seem like a stupid question now but do you play the piano Ro?

Sounds like you grabbed a good bargain with all your holiday shopping too.

I've been getting all the cheap sweatshirts & pants in the sales for bub around home, I don't care if they bobble after washing. They will do the trick.

Does anyone here use woolen singlets on bub? I managed to pick up a couple from BF for only $5.00 each, they were infantino brand and long sleeved onesies. Cheapest you'll ever pick them up too.

Shaz I hope things get better re: Alyssa and her daycare meltdown.

We went round to Nana's last night as it was her B'day, Lucas put on a nice show for her - took about 18 steps without stopping. If it wasn't for the oil heater leg he tripped on I'm sure he would have kept going too Was very cute, picking up speed and all.

Have a nice day ladies.

My middle baby is 10 today!!!! We are off out for lunch with a couple of her friends probably somewhere really flash like McD's but as long as they have a McCafe I'll be fine.
My friend had her Bubba the other day and I just got photo's via email awwwww he is so so cute I can't wait to get over there for a cuddle. Makes me all clucky again. Cool name too he's called Lukah I really like it (reminds me of Dr on ER mmmmmmmm).

M2L - no i dont play but mum did and we got left a piano so would love ella to learn...she does enjoy it and asks to go to the piano - i have to lift her up onto the stool.

well this am she was up at 440am - def think it is the cold...her room is south side...tonight she has full on usa winter pjs again!

this am she managed to graze and cut her chin...lucky it was on the plastic bookshelf as anything else would have cut it right open. HUGE scar across chin and graze is all red....UGH!!!! so simple....UGH UGH UGH!!!!!

Happy Birthday Andrew !!!!
Hope you have a lovely day.
