marilu: dis vreeslik om te hoor oor M se oordrom, gelukkig sal hy weer toe groei, vat so 7 maande, dalk korter in baba's...

i make my spaghetti bolognaise out my head and its lovely, very much the same things as skitter bu i also add in some chutney and a eetlepel of apricot jam and loads of garlic...

skitter: how do you make chicken bolognaise and what sauce do you use then? is it very much like chicken ala king (yummy)

ange is a bit better, but since yesterday she is crying when she wee's that it burns, i dont think its bladder infection cause she has no fever...
her chest is still yucky, im doing physio on her chest 3 times a day, so thats helping alot, her cough is alot looser, but still bad...
bardon is snotty snotty snotty, he hates it when i wipe his nose, so he has a permanent snail trail, gotta then pin him down..

So I took M to the doctor, he said its not serious unless there is vomit or fever involved....Gave her some rehidrate too.

So Im still stuck with lots of baby poop

hope you are all having a fabulous day

Jana, I use the Annabel Karmel book but here is the recipe:

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 Clove of crushed garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons finely grated carrot
5 ounces lean ground beef
1 tablespoon ketchup or tomato puree
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped (canned also works)
1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock or water
2 ounces spaghetti

Saute the onion and garlic in the vegetable oil for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the grated carrot and cook for 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and stir until browned. Stir in the ketchup, tomatoes, and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and cook until the meat is cooked through (10 to 15 minutes). Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until quite soft. Drain and chop into short lengths. Transfer the Bolognese sauce to a food processor and puree to a fairly smooth texture before combining with the pasta.

How did Nienke sleep last night? M was up several times and just drinking.

Charlene, how is the girls and Bardon doing?

M is calling.....will pop in later

O and one Q, M has had one regular poop nappy a day and the rest of the time its like water....should I be worried or take her to the doctor? Has been like this for 4 days.

Have a nice day everyone!

Evening everyone!


Lagarbah, good luck with the hormones....hope your immunity is good. And hope your angel gets better soon!

Thank you Binks, Charlene, Jana, Marilu for the comments on the photos. On the parking one...the people here dont give a damn how they park ( I fit in quite nicely ) But it is shocking, really

Charlene, good luck with the sick kiddies hope they get beter soon! Maybe its best to go see the doc, I know its not nice to see them in hosp but anything to make them well again hey!

Jana, hope your angel settles and has a good nights rest tonight! I think its only a growth spurt.

Mashudu, good idea to fix the old toys! The cup cakes sounds yummy!

Marilu, sorry to hear about M's ear! Good luck and hope she is well again. The phone took a day, but seems to be fine now, thanks Sounds so cute how M sits on your lap and cuddles!

Made some baby food again today, spaghetti bolognaise, chicken bolognaise and beef pot. But then I ran out of containers to freeze it in! So will get some tomorrow and cook the rest then. But it is a huge job, feels like Im just cleaning the whole time! M is sleeping, hopefully better tonight again.

Have a lovely evening everyone

Marijke, daai klink na 'n vreeslike cool boek! Sal vir mignione so 'n shapesorter thing moet gaan koop..en so 'n boek

Haha Vision..one of these days R is going to crawl all over that big baby and he's going to be scared of her

Skitter, is your phone still not working after M chew on it or has it dried out now

Lonie ek sal vir M MOET vat vir swemlesse eendag want ek kan nie swem nie.. ..of Renier sal haar maar moet leer swem

Binks I think M loves the colder weather, she got really irritated when it was so hot, nowadays when its colder she wants to sit on my lap the whole time and then pushes into my arm until I hold her tight..lately thats her favourite way of watching tv! And she NEVER used to sit still up and till now

Mashudu, you're so strong being able to cope while hubby is away for a month at a time!

Sumaya..shoo..30 kids at Z's first party!! I SO want to see pics..ýou're going to enjoy it so much (inbetween all the running around )

Love die pics Skitter. As iemand dit waag om SO naby aan my te park, stamp ek definitief hul kar!!!! Love daai bakkie M is te pragtig! Like die neusie wat sy so kreukel!!

If I missed someone..sorry I'm trying to type and read quick before M (and Renier) wakes up from their afternoon naps hiehie
