update :)


Sisterly love, isnt it adorable!

Hello! long time no speak! lol its been a busy ol' week in the house of Carla.

Kaylee came home from kindy on Thursday and wasnt really too good, shes picked up a wonderful Diarreah and vomiting bug, OH YAY! but its weird because it isnt full on diarreah and vomiting, its just once a day for each (and no vomiting at all yesterday) and it only seems to be at night! weird! so its been all fun and games in our house with A LOT of washing being done! (because its done at night in bed, thank GOD for underlays!) So anyway it just seems like she has a little virus and there really isnt anything else we can do apart from give her bland food and heaps of water. So no kindy for Kaylee this week, and probably lots of DVDs!

I just talked to the healthline people on the phone, ive never rung them before, wow so helpful!! i will be ringing back in a few weeks once Kaylee is 100% again to get help with her eating, great service!

lol she is sitting on the couch watching love to sing, singing 'Rere Atu' at the top of her voice, getting most of the words wrong, but its very cute!

Saturday i expressed off a whole heap of milk and went out shopping ON MY OWN! it was lovely! and wow so easy without bags, pushchairs, carseats, mischief 2 year olds! i went looking for a gift for my MW as she is discharging me today (NO FAIR!) and found a gorgeous Rimu memory box with room for a photo on the top with Paua surrounding it, just lovely and something i would love so i didnt mind giving it as a gift!

We did a fair bit of getting ready for Christmas on the weekend, getting gifts sorted and working out what to get people, we are keeping it very light this year on gifts, it just gets too expensive, but we are spending a bit on Kaylee this year, buying her a trampoline, she will just LOVE IT! it will be put up on Christmas eve so that she will see it on Christmas morning, we found a lovely gift for Olivia that was on special at the warehouse, so thats her done, and ive decided that all the grandparents for their gifts are going to get a lovely framed photo of Kaylee and Olivia, nice and cheap to do, but very special. now to take the photo! haha

ive been stocking up on little gifts throughout the year, so apart from getting the trampoline, its not working out too badly, id be SO stuck if i had to start christmas shopping now! i have a couple of business gift baskets to make up next week, and one more thing to get for my neice and nephew and something for my sisters and brother, (am thinking of getting them a Prezzie card from the post shop, cool idea!) and then i am definitely done, apart from Darryl, but he gets the same thing every year, lol, he always wants a CD of some sort and a couple of nice TShirts, i always throw a wee surprise in there too though!

I cant wait for Christmas day this year, Mum, Terry and Adele are staying with us, so Christmas morning its presents first, then breakfast (Pancakes, bacon, maple syrup and fresh fruit this year) then lots of playing with all the toys! haha and then off up to Darryls parents, HUGE family Christmas with mine and Darryls familys and a couple of other familys joining in too, heaps of cold meats, salads, desserts, drinks, yummmmmm cant wait!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year! we are getting our tree next week, for the past few years we have used a fake one, (i have allergies) but this year, as i love a real tree so much, we are going for real, so next week we are off to the tree farm to get our tree! cant wait!

Awww, cute!

Sounds busy, but VERY organised! Photos are a great idea - does your camera and/or editing software have black & white and sepia settings? Kids photos often turn out really gorgeous when you change the colour tones.... awwww!

Love the photos hun! And I agree with Emily - black and white photos can really rock! Though I think you may have posted one of Kaylee prior to Olivias arrival :) Technology today is amazing :)
You are sounding very organised indeed! Still got our thank you cards to do let alone Christmas cards etc...

What two gorgeous girls you have. I feel xmas is that xtra little bit special when the kids are little. You get to be a kid again and you know it's really true when people say giving gives you so much pleasure when you see their little faces light up.
