Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Nicole hehehe glad you figured that one out and that K is sleeping perfectly now. I stopped Shreys tea the last 2 nights and it improved his sleep as well.

Simone sorry she gave u such a run around this morning but I bet when u think about it she was being very cute. Re dusting sheets, Shrey loves to dust the duvet with me, will drop anything he is busy with
Re the tantrums this is the first huge tantrum we've ever experienced so I did feel a bit out of my depth ... wondering if 'terribly two's' are going to be just that 'terrible'

Nicole..lol @ DH sabotaging Kieran's sleep! Glad u got to the bottom of it!

Oh Gerard and I dont need to sort things out...I was still sulking last night..and then he said..Simone what is your problem? I said...you were cross because of a plate! So he said: That old thing? Simone that has been over a long time ago!

I said...well for women it does not work that way!

So he told me i can go ahead and sulk..lol. This morning i only woke up when he left for work though and he kissed me goodbye...so all is well.

Morning ladies

Well last night it was into our bed at 11:15pm!! WTF??? As i woke up, being kicked in the back...i thought of Mandy...and i thought...I AM NOT LOVING LIFE RIGHT NOW! LMAO!

Ok luckily she slept well...we all woke close to 7am. But i am just not made for co-sleeping!

Lisha i have yet to experience a bad tantrum...its a shout here or there because i take something away...but i swear Addison is so easily distracted....she moves on very fast. I probably would have given her a hiding! lol. But Lisha...I am the one that would probably give in...Dh would not give in! lol

Ally i asked you before...not sure if you saw it...with the brownies...once u have heated sugar, cocoa and butter...are you able to mix it by yourself? Or do u transfer to a mixer? I could not for the life of me mix that...gerard had to and even for him it was slightly a battle. Wouldnt mind a brownie now!

So this morning I had to take Addy to my mom's again. But i trried to tidy up...cleaned kitchen last night, made up bed and decided to put washing in...and leave it there all day. As luck would have it i see there are 4 minutes remaining...so i figure if i can hang the washing out...I can also do Addy's washing and then hang that out when i get home. Guys i dont hang up washing!!!

Oh my word...the back yard is so big...the minute i open the back door...Addison is out of there...and i cant even see her. So I am hanging up..i notice she is sitting in braai ash! Then her slipper was off...she ran away from me as i approached to put it on...on the wet grass!

Then she found a bucket of water...and conveniently her small bucket next to it...and before i could get to her she had scooped some up and got it on her.

So i lost it...went inside...the kitchen floor is a mess with wet grass! She threw all Gerard's belts on the floor. So at the end...the house looked like a war zone when i left despite my best efforts!

BUT....when I was making the bed..Addy runs and grabs the corner of the sheet....and starts shaking it out..lol. It was to cute.

Morning Mommies.

So I finally figured out why K was soooo restless. Df was putting in Purity Goodies in his night time bottle and it has a high level of energy in it!! so it was ovisuly making him edgy!!!! We have not given it to him for the last two nights AND HE IS SLEEPING LIKE A DREAM AGAIN YAAAAY!

Simone hope you and G have sorted things out?

Pfairy so terrible about the cleaners baby

Julz glad Dylans temp is down, hope he starts feeling better now.

So its not offical yet.....and it might change....but df wants the date for our wedding to be the 16th of October this year. so lots and lots of planning to do. My dad has offered to pay for the dress and dfs dad has also offered to pay for some things. we are soooo blessed.

Keiran was singing "A B C" this morning...was so cute and i was so suprised.

The mark on his face from clashing into the wendy house is not that bad, just a little bruise. I took a photo lol

Ally and Vix enjoy the visit to Nelria and seeing Xen, lucky girls

lisha - grrrrrrrrrrrrr re dh giving in that i so not on!!!!

pfairy - toooooooooo sad man i cant stand such things

ok ladies melkkos recipes? lost mine again and want to do it tonight?

Hi ladies

Pfairy I am so sorry to hear about the cleaners baby. Can't handle hearing all these sad stories about the little babies

Julz glad that Dylan is getting better. Hope his throat clears up soon too. Lol your simple article link caused quiet a stir yesterday

Simone lol so you guys do get annoyed with each other hehehe hope that mood is gone this morning.
Re stem cell banking, I know MA doesn't cover it and it's +R10k to get it banked, but Julz can clarify the price.

So I think the closer these kids are going to get to 2 the worse the tantrums are going to be. Shrey used to throw tiny tantrums previously but last night OMG!!! He wanted the vacuum cleaner (of all things) at about 7 and I said no it's time to relax now and sleep. The tears and screaming!!! I just ignored. Put him down when he wanted to be down and picked him up when he wanted me to. I figured that it wasn't too difficult to settle him, all I had to do was put on Madagascar and the music at the beginning just attracts his attention. During the tantrum dh takes him to the study to give him the vacuum but he just wanted to come back to me. Once the tantrum was over dh got a few choice words from me and his excuse was that Shrey wouldn't stop crying WTF!!!

He slept okay last night but still not sleeping through again

Vix, the twins are still sleeping! I'm just going to give them breakfast then leave, should be there between 09h30 and 09h45!
