Small smelly people

Have a look at this beautiful face. And now instead of her having pretty ginger blonde hair, imagine her hair is incrusted with milky puke thats about 12 hours old. That is what I woke up to this morning.

Lately instead of going straight to sleep at night time this little munchkin has been bouncing up and down in her crib, screaming in delight and playing with her sister for about an hour. I think thats why she got sick. Too much excitement right after her night time bottle. So as you can imagine she did not smell good at all this morning. It was one of those smells that didn't just wash off either. Even after I shampooed her hair and scrubed the rest of her she is still a little stinky.Never mind, at least she's a cutie.

On a different note I am very happy to say that both of the little gremlins have now finally got at least 1 tooth before the first birthday. Now if I could only get a photo.

Today is an amazing and momentous day. For the first time in about two and a half months I have survived a whole day without getting sick. HORRAY!

And sadly that is the highlight of my day. That is really the only thing out of the norm that has happened around here in about three days. No chaos, no drama, just predictable monotony. Wow, I think I miss the chaos.

Well then, I guess thats it. I guess I'll go wait for something to break or catch fire and then we'll talk again.

Almost party time

Tomorrow is going to be a big day. We will leave the house in the morning and we WILL NOT return until we have found the most awesome birthday present/s in the world for the girls birthday. I know exactly the style of toy that I am after. Something that I can keep in the girls room that they can both play on or with at the same time. Something that is designed for babies and toddlers.Something sturdy and tough enough to survive my little terrors. Something the criminal mastermind that occasionally takes control of their personalities can not use as a weapon against the other one, and finally and for the love of god something that I can wipe down easily. That means I don't want to spend the next year and a half looking at some crusty old puke in a nook that I can't get to and clean up. Kinda like the above pic. I think its gonna be a long day.

Alex is up top being a goose and Jess below showing off her turtle balancing skills. I think I need some practice putting up pics on blogger.

The wild adventures of thing 2

Little Miss Alex has been the centre of attention around here lately. About three days ago she created a stir by FINALLY cutting a tooth. And then about 5 seconds later we realised that she had cut both bottom teeth. It took 11 months, now we just have to wait for Jess to catch up.

But now Alex has totally outdone herself. Yesterday morning the Tman got out of bed to heat up the girl bottles. He always gets up about 20 minutes before me so I can hang my head over the sink and get the first round of morning sickness out of the way before I cuddle the girls. While he was out of the room I could here some groaning and giggling coming from the girls room. A couple of minutes later he walks in to find both the girls in the same cot. Which means Alex somehow managed to scale the side of her crib and drop into her sisters (the cribs are side by side). I'm a little in shock and really really glad she didn't decide to try escaping from the other side because she would of had a nasty fall.

First Post

Its so hard to think of what to write in a first post. So I will start with the basic intro. WE are Xoe-the mum, T-man-the dad, Jess- the oldest child by a whole minute, big sis and the boss and owner of anything she can reach. Alex- little sister, but not literally, she is a whole kilo heavier then Jess and gets into about twice as much trouble. And last but not least is the one on the way, affectionately known as little fish at this stage or point five.

Thing1 and Thing2 are mere weeks away from their first birthday and the party that goes with it, so busy times ahead.
