Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Christmas seems like so many moons ago already. We seem to be doing so much in a day lately. With 5 x feeds, umpteen nappy changes between Kirrily and Hayley and now Kirrily is also toilet training. No time for resting.
This year Christmas was boiling hot and humid. we had planned on celebrating outside again in our entertaining area but we instead moved the outdoors table indoors and sat with the air-conditioning on nice and cool. I opted not to cook but in the end did. We had fresh leg ham, lovely bbq chicken from the Chicken Spot (thanks Steve for opening on Christmas Day) and some last minute throw together pork marinated in a last minute throw together marinade. We were having lamb but the truck heading to the butchers didn't arrive and they had no lamb. Not to worry, the pork was AAA delicous anyway. I also had yummo potato's and some serously delicous pumpkin.
Kirrily got many many many presents and Hayley wasn't far behind. we now have plenty of goodies including toys, books, swimmers, tea set, clothes and of course - Mr Potato Head. Kirrily loves putting his hands in his eye spot, the arms in the head and many other silly spots.




New Year's was spent just as we did last year - I went to bed at 9pm, David stayed up and watched the shocking fireworks footage that Channel 10 had then he went to bed. Only difference this year was we got up again at 3am to feed Hayley, were we didn't have to feed anyone last year. :-) Pretty uneventful really. The neighbours appeared to have just as much fun as there was no noise or anything at midnight.
Since Christmas we've put in some new sprinkler systems in our new gardens and done little else. It's too hot for painting the house or too windy.

David is back to work tomorrow so back to keeping a 2 yr old and a baby entertained. Looks like lots of walks for me. I mighjt even have more time for blogging.
