What a busy day yesterday was – aarrgghh! We were all up early – as usual – and I was busy drawing away at the computer – as I do – and I lost track of time…..again! Ok – so 15 minutes to shower and dress me, and the girls, until my Baby Boot Camp ‘chief’ came to give me a ‘surprise’ and for me to give her some paperwork. That all sorted out beautifully – I now have a fantastic waterproof rug to use when I am instructing the floor work part of the class – GREAT – although I am not overly happy with the amount of duck poo that is going to get on it – what is it with ducks – can’t they have a designated pooing area? Why do they feel the need to share it with everyone – all through the entire park! Enough already!
Then – it was time to climb into the car – off to a third birthday party (what were we thinking when we children around Christmas time!) – OMG – I had forgotten to give Mackenzie breakfast! Mind you – this was at 10:30am – so the poor kid was getting hungry – but there is certainly no chance that she will fade away from lack of food! back into the house to be spoon fed breakfast at break-neck speeds – I could forsee a case of infantile indigestion woes right there! But – no – to her credit – she gobbled it down and loved it!
Back to car for birthday – halfway there – ‘Madison – did you put the present in the car?". ‘No mummy!". Ripper!!! Third birthday party – present is sitting on bench at home – oh well – not going back to get it – she can wait! Turns out Annika (party girl) had a million presents anyway – so I’m sure she wasn’t going to miss one!
Back to car – Mackenzie fell asleep straight away and Madison wasn’t too far behind – thank-goodness they are both easily transferable – straight from car to bed! WOW – two sleeping children together – fantastic! By this time it’s around 1:30pm – so it’s already been a busy day. They both woke sort of together – in perfect timing (what great kids!) – because it was back in the car time….again!
Will had come home by now – for last night was the planned ‘yes I’m sure late night shopping starts tonight’ Christmas shopping! We picked up some gorgeous photos taken professionaly as a fundraiser of the girls (they are stunning…..will put up later!) – and had Mackenzie’s BP taken. Fickle kid – it was a nice low reading – and she didn’t even scream like a banshee this time! It seems that I have a ballerina in the making (yeah right – I don’t even know my pointe from my plie) – as she has ‘Charlie Chaplin’ legs!!!! Hope she can make Charlie Chaplin money! Mackenzie Ella ballerina! Then it was off to pick up a layby that we started 6 months ago for the girls Christmas present! WOW!! We had totally forgotten what we bought – it was like Christmas coming early! They are going to be spoilt this year – although I am not quite sure how we are going to take it all camping with us!!!!
We dropped Madison off at her little boyfriend’s house (yes – it is young love in the making!) and off we went all ready to do the big shopping spree. we were quite excited – found a carpark easily by the door – didn’t seem too busy!!! Are the alarm bells ringing for you yet?!?!? We get up the travelator thingy – shops closing all around us – late night shopping starts next Wednesday night. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!! Bugger! So Will, Mackenzie and I did a few bits and pieces at KMART and had dinner at La Porchetta (not too bad!).
BANG – there it was – first christmas shopping mishap of the year – I wonder how many more I can tally up…………………………………
