Signing off for a little while

Well i've run out of energy to keep my blog updated lately. Plus, i'm struggling to reach the keyboard as my arms just don't want to stretch that far anymore. :-)

Since my last post, i've been doing basically nothing. I"m confined to the house as i can't even get in the car, let alone lift Kirrily in and out of her new booster seat and the steering wheel is rubbing my belly so i've been out of action for over 3 wks now. Kirrily is bored to bits as we used to go out every day but it's not long now before that changes.

We had another Dr's appt yesterday. I had my camera charged, the mobile too and the bags packed just in case the Dr changed his mind and wanted us booked in for this Friday, but no.

So all in all, i'm a little bored & sore but thought i'd post some photo's of kirrily before i sign off.

Kirrily helping build the TV Unit.
She did actually hammer in some parts to the unit and loved using the screw drivers. Nobody showed her how, she just seemed to know. And she takes after me. Notice the tongue out in most photo's. I used to do that too.





Daddy's birthday and Nan's Birthday
We went to Tides at Bulcock Beach for a combined birthday lunch (used to be Alfie's restaurant). She wore her new shirt and her party skirt (if you look closely dorothy the dinosaur is on the front) and clips too. She loves being dressed up.



Maisy Watering Can
What more could she need - Maisy, her favourite cartoon and a watering can, her favourite gardening tool. Combined into 1 fantastic gift from Nan and Pop.
p.s it didn't bounce too well off the stones as it's tin.


That's it from me, us and B2. We'll have plenty of new blogging material in mid November i'm sure.

No More Strawberry's!!!!

Forgot to add - THE STRAWBERRY SEASON IS OVER.

Oh no!!!!!! The farms have packed up their "pick your own" signs, poisoned off the last few remaining crops (don't ask me, i would have eaten every one of them given the chance) and are turning the plants back to the ground for next year.

That's it until June 2009.

Oh well, back to the mangoes then.

Are we there yet?

Well it's only 3 weeks and 3 days (yes i am counting) til the big day. The days are dragging on and on as i'm feeling rather fat, frumpy and front heavy. My feet are sore, my back is worse and sleeping is an option rather than a necessity lately. (i guess i won't get much more sleep when B2 arrives anyway).

Kirrily is also a bit bored hanging around the house as i can't drive much either. The steering wheel is rubbing against my belly so it's not comfortable at all to get around. She's gone from going everywhere to stuck in the house going nowhere. No wonder she is trying to escape out the back door and run through the back yard any chance she can. She always waits til i'm 'Occupied' before she escapes and i can't really just dash off and get her.

We had another Dr's appointment last week and the baby has turned around. It doesn't make much difference apparently for the operation but at least the baby is doing what baby's should be doing in there. Turning, kicking and squirming. Only now it's kicking me up in the ribs and it's not very comfy.

Enough of that.

Today we had a visit from James and Susan. James is 1 month younger than Kirrily and he is Kirrily's swimming buddy. Susan is (you probably can guess) James' mum. She said she would pop buy each week to see that we are going OK and take kirrily to the swings to get her out of my hair for even 15mins which is lovely. James is having the "terrible 2's" and doesn't like having me talking to his mum or kirrily so smacks kirrily in the head and today through sand in her eyes. We quickly got him to stop it and used our knowledge from our books and they ended up hugging each other to say sorry and played with our hose in the backyard for a hour.

Kirrily also had her first BOY KISS!!!! James said "bye" to kirrily and then turned around (i was waiting for him to smack her again), and gave her a huge kiss and cuddle. Kirrily looked at him rather disgusted and said "don't James" then wiped her mouth. She'll learn one day.

So that's about it. here are a handful of photo's . Yeah there are millions more that i haven't even downloaded yet as i'm a bit too tired.

We had a visit Bryan, Vaughan & Zoe, Anne & Howard too. Howards camera is brilliant but i've only managed to download these few from them at the moment. If your wondering, kirrily is playing 'aeroplanes'.

Kirrily was lucky enough to get some presents. One of those was some ice-block makers which went into the freezer that afternoon and gobbled up the next day. Kirrily couldn't quite grasp the concept of eating the ice-block but she did enjoy using the straw to suck up the melted goodies.
