BUSY

AROUND THE HOUSE

We didn't spent much time at home today so not much got done around the house! I've decided to get rid of a huge 8 cup coffee plunger that we got as a engagement present nearly 8 years ago and have never used! Its just too big when we usually only need 1 or 2 cups of coffee. A SMALL coffee plunger has been added to our Christmas wishlist :D Unless anyone has one that they want to get rid of!

Went to sewing class tonight - mended some of Alex's cloth nappies - the elastic around the legs had died from overuse so I removed the old stuff and replaced with brand new stuff - YAY! Should get another few months out of them now, atleast until he grows out of them! Also started on a new pair of PJ's for me!

IN THE GARDEN

We had another nice storm and downpour on Sunday so everything is looking shiny and clean and fresh again - Alex and I went around and watered the pots that are on the deck and under the eaves with the water we collected in buckets and the wheelbarrow during the storm. I need to teach Alex to hunt for snails - they are eating my Lupins and several other things in the garden! Naughty! Was thinking about setting traps - apparently little dishes filled with beer work but I'm afraid the dogs would just drink them - or worse, Alex would find them and drink it - ew!

THE LITTLE ONE

A big busy day for us - Gymbaroo this morning - lots of singing, dancing and climbing things. Then a playdate - loved seeing Alex interact with his friend Cael, was the first time they had really played well together. The best bit was when they stood face to face and had a little chat, each of them taking it in turns to speak - us mums had no idea what they were saying but they seemed to understand each other! We also had a lunch date with another friend. Alex sat up at the table with us, and got given a colouring book and pencils from the waitress and a baby-soy-cino :D. He was very good and then fell asleep in the pram for an hour so Mummy could do some shopping!
