Pay it forward

So i put a status on FB that said the first 5 people to comment i will hand make you a gift and send it to you sometime in 2011 - well i am CRAP at craft and making things but i managed to come up with a pretty good idea (i think).. but cannot for the life of me find the main item that i need ARGHHHHHHHHHH

On another note, we went up to the shops to collect a canvas i had done of Greta and Miles told me he needed to go for a wee, so off we went to the toilet where he did a wee - then half an hour later in a toy shop he said he needed to do a poo so off we went to find a toilet and he did a poop in the little toilets there :)
So proud of him.

A couple of recent pics of the muchkins:




Seems so terribly selfish posting about my life whith the awful floods in QLD - so so sad, so many lives lost and so many more missing.
I guess Australia was a land that should perhaps never have been inhabited - i mean it needs to burn to regenerate and it needs to flood and also there are areas that are drought ridden but species have learnt to adapt and thrive there - perhaps man was never meant to inhabit this land.......
Still so very very sad for everyone in effected areas.
However life elsewhere goes on as normal.....

So anyway, went up to Rouse hill and typed it into the GPS to make sure i was going the quickest way and it said 13 minutes from my home - thats pretty good i had in my head it was 30 mins or so! I will go going there more often - the kids prefer it as its an outdoor type stlye so we're not stuck inside a shopping centre - my kids HATE being indoors.

So 2 more days to work this week then off for 3 days.  Oh and i got paid again !! ive worked 4 days now and been paid $3000, ive no idea what its all for! Its almost a $1000 per day ive been there! but hey, im not complaining!

Anyway the kids are with thie nanny for those 2 days.. She mentioned that as i dont pick them up till 5.10pm and then i dont get home till 5.30pm and Greta (well and miles too) have their dinner usually at 5pm - Miles is fine he can hang on 30 mins extra but Greta starts to get  upset ans hungry - so she said to bring a jar of food - so i looked at her and had to explain that i have a MAJOR dislike of baby jar/sachet food and would never in a zillion years give one to my little ones - how to explain this nicely when i know she herself has used them - felt so bad saying erm acutally im not all that keen on the processed baby food crap - ooops! Anyway she understood it think and said i should just bring a meal i have made for her then.  obviously she is too old to have meals in the freezer for herself that i make for her now, she just eats the same as us - but i do have a little stash of frozen left overs that i have kept up with in case we have a takeaway or something crap one night, then i can give Greta a good home cooked meal and Miles can have beans on toast or whatever - im not about to feed my kids takeaway meals!
So i'll just pop one of those in the bag and she can have that.

Erm not much else going on - got to source this item i need for the pay it forward - all from me than..

So so humid today. Might go jump in the pool while Greta has her nap.
