Morning all

Last night we put the single bed up for E, as she's been going through a stage where she hasn't wanted to go to sleep in her cot bed (she used to go to bed there, then come and join us for the rest of the night) and she loves it So much so, that when we woke up this morning in our bed, she went and played on hers for 20 minutes

Just having a brew while she eats some yoghurt and fruit, which will take her ages. Not a lot on today, the sun has gone away again so just hope it stays fine really.

It's pissing of rain again here This weather is getting quite depressing. I'm literally counting down the days til we go on holiday. 57 days to go now.

Dexter is cutting and colouring while I'm sat here still in my jammies being bored. Should probably go get dressed and go puddle jumping or something.

Morning *waves* hope you don't mind me joining in

The weather isn't great here either this morning-no rain yet though! DH is proving his worth this morning as I'm in a lot of pain (combi of back problems and severe period pains) and has had the kidlets colouring in, cutting, sticking etc plus done a load of washing I'm currently sat with a coffee, supposed to be sorting out a flexi routine/idea chart for the hold but am actually moseying around on here instead (call it 'research' )

It's raining here too but I'm actually quite liking the rain atm! Molly loves her wellies too so it's all good. We're going shopping with my sister in a little while, my first real outing since the labour scare on Mon! Am a little overexcited...

If you're looking for inspiration @Autumn - this is my favourite site for activities: http://www.kidspot.com.au/kids-activities-and-games/ and I like the Play at Home Mom facebook page

Fantastic links-thank you better get busy picking some out!

Well we're back to 'just us' on hols, mum and our friends went away yesterday and we're just pottering and taking it easy in the house. The weather's turned, much like at home I think, but I can see a patch of blue sky so may be able to get some beach action after all.

I don't feel as antisocial being on interweb with just us for some reason!

It's glorious here! At long last. And typically A's off at nursery so I'm sat inside for fear of overheating/burning D. Catching up on emails while he snoozes on the rug again, need to go organise the new shelves in the playroom in a bit.

Glorious sunny weather here! Hubby has built a lovely slate bbq from the stones from our river (they're huge and it took him 2 days but it's lovely and looks very natural in our wooded area of the garden); we moved J's nursery to the guest room and vice versa yesterday (and I put my back out so not only am I enormous but I can't move very fast/without being in pain so about to make an appt with my lovely osteo) so he's in a new room which makes total sense. The one he was in before might have been lovely and light and airy but it was also freezing in bad weather and scorching hot in hot weather which is useless. Now he's in a more "stable" room with room for a sibling if we want to do that.

Sorted out newbie baby clothes yesterday - some lovely hand-me-downs arrived from a lovely friend so I got to look at them all in detail again (lush!) to suit the time of year bubba's being born this time, and moved them into 0-3, 3-6 and 6-12 month storage boxes> Put my newbie /size 1s/small nappy stash together and looking at it, I think we might need a few more though hubby might not agree...tough!

Loving this sunshine - about to do some dyeing of various bits and bobs that could have a new lease of life through colour - including some washable wipes as they got dyed by accident with a pair of new toddler jeans (d'oh! ) so they're a nasty blue colour. I think I might make some purple and some red. Who knows?

Got lots of little projects and a 2-page list of things "to do". But after last night's horrendous night's sleep (new room, chickenpox infected scabby bottom + 4 new teeth making an appearance at once did NOT make for a happy Jman) I think I might just sit in the garden with a big glass of water , in my sundress, and chillax for a while...

27 degrees and glorious sunshine
Em is all confused that it's not raining anymore and that his favourite puddle has gone.
But after 2 months of wound maintenance the last bit of scab is gone and he can go in the paddling pool
Here is the now properly 8 fingered and 2 thumbed poppet

he's amazing @Bayleaf, such a cutie (btw, can you pm me your address for your labour beads and @Amethyst too when you get chance)

We've done some painting outside,
and this morning walked to the post office/shops with our gorgeous & cool ficus Indio, which this morning had sleepy dust

Just made some tuna & pasta for lunch with caramelised onion mayo (yum) washing is drying really fast so I've got a bit of a conveyer belt of it going on. Ha. Hopefully Alf will nap a bit this afternoon so I can sit outside & do a bit more of the tshirt I've been crocheting, it's very nearly finished, just needs shaping round the neckline, arm cuffs and sewing together The pic does it zero justice, but it's sooooo lovely. I hope to have it done by the weekend
