Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Wow Simone and Ally parties sound wonderful!!!!!!

For the Kids "food corner" i wanted to find like a racing flag - and the have Kidz Corner on it - my mom is making those car sweet things you find at spar bakeries - using finger biscuits? then will have different sweeties, chips and hotdogs - going to be cool i think. I also thoughts id buy a few cheap little cars from the crazy store and put them around the table for the kiddies. Need to look at Ackermans/Edgars for a cool cars shirt for K.

Ally enjoy all your awesome activities you have planned tomorrow! Sounds like such fun.

Simone enjoy your afternoon off and good luck for the 5km walk! rather you then me lol.

We dont have much planned for the weekend as usual my hubby is working tomorrow until 2. (looking forward to when this comes to an end) So it will be just K, Jessie and me, and then Sunday its grocery shopping and after that we will either take K to the Lion Park or to the Bounce and Play area.

Saturday night we having a braai and i can honestly say im looking forward to a few drinks - serious need to relax.

Ally I wish 7-8 kids:( As usual I have about 20-24 kids. Also doing boerewors rolls for adults as it'll just be easier.

Good luck with losing weight. I learnt alot after working with dietician so really have no problem with portion sizes at this point. Its RIDICULOUS the amount of food I used to have on one plate...not to mention all the wrong food groups!

Oh Nicole I am getting ice cream cake as my child LOVES ice cream and not really a cake fan. I'm sure you'll find a good cake maker:) Love all the ideas and face painting...the kids are going to love that! We have trampoline so thinking waterslide and not jumping castle BUT that means wet kids...and hmm...through my house...maybe not!

Lady in JHB also making the Minnie Mouse bows for girls and doing beads for the girls...shame I feel bad cause really dont have anything exciting planned for the boys giftwise...lol.

Yoza, 7kgs? Jeez louise. I am struggling so much to find time for gym and with all the recipe testing, my healthy eating plan has gone out the window. But I'm trying my best to stay conscious about it and I try to make healthier choices all the time. I just need to SERIOUSLY get a grip of my portion sizes. At night I find myself eating so much and it's so unnecessary!

Nicole, I'm still sticking with my Mickey & Minnie party but I'm going simple this year. I'm not inviting a hell of a lot people. Only close friends and family and I'm only doing cupcakes (got the most stunning red and white polka dot cupcake cases yesterday) and then going to do popcorn cones, a small candy buffet and mini hot dogs for kids. Then I'll do a hot dog station for adults with boerewors, frankfurters, onions, gherkins and sauces. Then everyone can just help themselves. I'm just getting a jumping castle and that's it. All in all will probably be only 7/8 kids. Not in the mood for too much hassle this year.

We've got our Land Rover Experience (proper 4x4ing) tomorrow. My friend at Land Rover organised it for us for free, usually it's like R1600 PER PERSON! HECTIC! So that's going to be fun. Then we've got C's best friend's birthday party in the afternoon.

I went to go see my cousin yesterday in the hospital. He's doing so much better, just in a ALOT of pain as the damage was more than they thought. They had to build a titanium hip for him but he's at least walking small distances with his crutches. Just gets terribly white when doing so as the pain is so bad. But he'll be in hospital for another 2 weeks and then needs to stay at home for 6 weeks. He's work is so amazing, they're paying R1100 a night for him to stay in a private room (the guy next to him in general ward sneaked his floozy in and had sex ON HIS HOSPITAL BED) and they're giving him his full commission etc. while his off. So nice of them!

Morning ladies

Friday today and my monthly half day...so YAY!!! And managed to get under my starting pregnancy weight again:) I put on almost 2kgs in Durban so thankfully after eating well I have lost most of it.

Alot of people think its weird that I am not gaining weight yet, but they dont understand that I am overweight and I have enough reserves to put on as little weight as possible. Really hopeful not to put on too much weight as by now I had put on about 1-3kgs with Addison. Only problem with being overweight is at about 22 weeks I dont look pregnant at all yet:( Just my ginormous eina boobs:(

Mandy are you showing yet? And are we getting bump pics? Also when are you going to be in PE next month?

Oh I did have the urine test yesterday and it was all clear...but GP quite thorough and also sending my urine away for further ($$$$ I don't have ) tests.

Nicole you're speaking my language! I am in CRAZY party mode. We're doing MInnie Mouse. If you check under this link under 'party themes' and look for Minnie Mouse you'll see alot of what I've ordered from this lady. www.boksomdaais.co.za . Nicole you may even see some ideas for yourself...or anybody else for that matter.

I've sent our resident designer a pic of dress I'd like

WE're just waiting for Siba and Shreyan to kick off the birthday season for us! lol. Its like world cup season for irthday parties!

Nicole what happened at creche?? Will look for other post but I SUCK at navigating through this site.

Yoza that madam of yours sounds like the cutest little thing!!!! She brings you guys alot of joy I can tell:)

Yoza you have inspired me...signing up at work to walk a 5km next week Friday. Flip I hope I survive! Hope they have paramedicas on standby!!! he he

Julz how are you feeling this morning? Will u be getting second opinion?

Simone: yay on healthy peanut. really rooting for team blue

Lisha enjoy bday preps! Have you practicied making the cake and decor you wanted to do yet?

I hope all the other ladies are keeping well!

afm, having a problem with K's creche at the moment (posted it under pre-schooler kids) I just hope it works out okay or im totally going to go off my head at the prinicple. Other than that all is well, i just constantly feel tired and drained these days.....not good. Dh and I are also going through a rough patch at the moment but i know its because of underlying stress.

Party plans so i have decided to go with Disney cars, have already bought the themed plates, cups, table cloth etc, so i thought i would have a sign in the one corner saying "kidz corner" and have chips, popcorn, car sweets, mini hotdogs, fruit and juice laid out and in the other corner i will have the adult food which i thought i would just do mini hotdogs, mini burgers, smaasos and little pasteries etc, i might change a few things proberly closer to the time. We will have have the trampoline, swings, facepainting that the kids can do outside if its nice weather. Then im trying to find someone who does 3d cakes.

Hello ladies

I have to share this you know the KFC add with the old couple dancing and they get younger. Its buhle's favourite the minute its on she rushes of to hubby wants to be picked up and they dance together and after the advert is over she lies on DH shoulder its the third time ive seen her doing it. We had such a good laugh.

Anyways thought I should start the morning in a different mood.
