Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Pfairy, how far are you from jhb? I would be happy to travel just about anywhere for you gals and i would spend more or nothing.. however, if we do go to someones house, ally has to bring us CUPCAKES!! and I can sponsor them!! Ive wanted them for so long ally!

so lets do a saturday at 10am, Vix, Nel, Ally, Lwasi, Jessica, Zee - how are saturdays at 10am, I reckon maybe the 24th of July? ( I cant do the 31st July and I dont think VIx can do the 17th - i think that is when your multiples talk thingy is on right?) anyhoo 24th July or 7th of August, any votes? abd dies saturdays work and how about the time?

oh jess - Helen is our 16 weeks preggie gal who doesnt want to know the sex, then we have Vix who has the twins - 11 week 6 days and 13 weeks plus - so NO ONE try the sperm meets egg plan ( have sex for 2 weeks every second day) coz if you happen to ovulate twice that month you can have twins like Vix! Then its Zamzie who is preggers and now YOU !!

okay, Cam had the biggest biggest trash around ever tonight, and the only thing that would calm him was me snuggling him and bed.. poor little thing, he sobbed and trashed and screamed for 20 minutes.. I almost felt it was overstimulation type thing like he just couldnt take anymore anything!! no bath , no supper or anything, but he was so calm in the darkness of his room, that i got my little boy back.. he smiled and giggled and showed me his toes in this vot and went to sleep peacefully!

The chocolate pudding recipe. It's really not a fancy recipe, but it is so delicious. it makes it's own chocolate sauce in the bottom. It is quick to make and never fails. nice with ice cream or custard.

1 cup flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
125 ml milk
30g or 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

combine flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa in a bowl.
gradually stir in the milk en butter. mix till the mixture is smooth.
spread the mixture into a greased ovenproof dish.

SAUCE:
165 ml (2/3 cup) brown sugar.
4 tablespoons cocoa
300ml water.
mix sugar and cocoa. add water and stir till smooth.
Pour over the pudding.

bake for 30 - 35 minutes at 180 degrees.

hi hi all ladies

regarding Mia not sleeping anymore during the day: I was prepared for this one. Xander did exactly the same at almost the same age. That was the last time he was sleeping during the day - and he is now 6 year old. they just don't need the sleep anymore. but they do have a time to rest. Mia will be in her cot for about an hour, watching a movie and drinking her bottle. then she will call me.

sjoe Helen.... that is really ridiculous.

Jessica, congrats on the pregnancy... sjoe there is alot of babies now.... what were you all doing??????

lelanie, sounds like the children really enjoy the big yard. I told you guys about the woman with the 8 children (I love her blog), she believes if a child is having a tantrum, etc, the child is or hungry, or tired or needs outdoor air..

I only bought a pair of shoes and one jersey this winter for myself.... My credit card and edgars card is in our safe. they are there for emergencies. I would love to go on a shopping spree.... but we really try to save for greece, but with a R8000 water account, my salary cut by R6000.... it is really difficult.

Julz, did I miss something about the opportunity??

Nelria, how is little man doing now?????

Joburg girls... I won't charge anything if you meet at my place. I don't have a petting zoo, but I can dress the dogs as farm animals.... and there is lots of space for the children to run and a jungle gym and trampoline. coffee and snacks for free!!!!!!!

o vix... still can't belief it is actually twins. it is wonderful. did you think of names yet?
