October 06 - Happy Slappy Toddlers

[taffy101]

Heehee thought I'd start the new thread. there seemed to be a recurring theme from everyone's recent posts - hence the title.

Hope everyone's well and that you found us without too much trouble

Hi girls - PURPLE - I remember you BRONZE must have missed you as I didn't discover MN until August and DD was born in Oct.

It was Amber's 3 rd birthday on Sunday past. Wwe went to Center Parcs at Whinfell for 4 dasy the week running up to it - they had a fabby time and we will be back. She went pony trekking, made a teddy, we did the make a memory foot/hand prints with both of them. Sunday we just had a quiet day and she got a lovely pink bike with an Amber name plate on it and we baked a heart shaped chocolate cake together (she was insistent on heart shape - lickily I had 1 heart shaped tin) and we made fairy cakes with the remainder of the mix - yummy
Pics on FB.

Not time here for anything really - life is a bit hectic with 2 littlies and house, life etc. DH is working F?T and studying a BSC Chem Eng too - so I'm finding it pretty exhausting at the mo'! Calvins' PN club there are some who have 6, 7 and 8 kids - they must have got my share of the patience pool .

Hi all,

Bronze im sure i remember you, I joined in june 06, my name was bendyb back then, good to hear from u again

I remember you aswell purpleflower

Thankyou mellin, your children look adorable!

Rumpel- I LOVE amber's bike, where did you get the numberplate?

It was dh's birthday today, Kai was so excited, he has been singing 'happy birthday' all day, He helped me make a cake & he made us keep lighting the candles so he could blow them out! He cant wait for his birthday, bless.
Its nice this year where he really understands it all.

Hope everyone else is well x

cooo weee it's Emily, Lola's mummy.

Just wanted to wish all you ladies, a Happy 3rd Birthday for our little ones.

Cant believe where the last 3 years have gone!!!

Emily - woweefabby to hear from you how the hell are you these days fill us in.xxxxxx

BABY - your cake looked yummy! Got her number plate in a card shop amber is obviously a much more common name now!

So did yours rumpel! Yum Yum!

Hey Em

Kai got up at 4.45 this morning! Soooo tired zzzzzzz

fill you in, in what? A whole year since they were 2!!??

Welll..... where do I start. Lola's dad is off the scene, hasnt seen her since last July. Not interested, violent muppet has new girl friend they are expecting a baby and she is due in November she's probably on here (shhh!)

Uh, have a LOVELY DP - we have been together nearly a year, DD just loves him, calls him daddy, and we are all so happy.

Finished my first year at Uni, roll on second year, hard work!!

Working as a photographer part time, weddings etc, also bloody hard work!

Uh... Lola has been potty trained since Jan - which was fab, she is still a monkey about food etc, never mind...

I just love having her, she is the funniest litle person I know

(I really want to have a baby with DP, but will wait, till the time is "right")

Have I missed any thing?

Cant believe DD is three on Tuesday!!

Hi everyone,dd was 3 yesterday and she had a party and great fun.Dont know where the time has gone,her big sisters aged 11 and 14 entertained the little ones at the party and they told me afterwards that they never want kids as its too much work lol.
Hope everyone is keeping well,cant believe how many of you have had more children...although did ask DH about having another and his response was "are you completely mad woman?" dont think that was a yes,so may need to work on him

LOL TOTALLY - I am in 2 minds also. But boy is it knackering! I feel so old and tired.........

My DH is a defo no buit I could use my powers of persuaision but TBH don't know if I have the time, energy or patience for another - always wanted 3 but they drive me crackers sometimes and it is a constant barrage of thankless housework and tidying up . Amber was 3 on the 4th - we just celebrated ourselves as we had just returned from centerparcs.

ONLY/EMILY whats fartlebe? Last thing I remember from you was you mc and then you and your partner splitting up - you were moving back in with your Mum I think - I always wondered how you were. Glad to hear all is well.

My Amber is hilarious and downright bloody annoying - boy can that girl whinge! Arggg!

hi everyone. long time since i posted too. happy birthday to you all. Hope will be 3 in a week and a bit. Ferdie is almost as big as her and he is 18months. no more babies round here though. don't think i could do it again after the 15 month age gap and the milk intolerance and the menningitis. still get wistful looking at other peoples lovely babies though. am now trying to juggle a bit of work and lots of going backwards and forwards to nursery school and housework etc. currently studying birthday cake recipes for hedgehog shaped cakes whilst waiting for my patient to arrive.
good on you samsmam and others having another
mellin i saw your little one on fb he looks lovely

Hi everyone, just thought I'd pop in as Toby is 3 on Thursday. I agree with everyone where has that time gone? I remember that long hot summer well.

Hope everyone is well, it's lovely to see some old names on here and how the lo's are doing.

Toby is really excited about his birthday and is having a 'proper' party for the first time on Saturday. 10 3 yr olds will be descending on us!!

Hi all - how are you doing? Amber starts pre-school this week - hurrah! She is awee Madam at times! Calvin is running around now too. Princess - you still working in the same practice or did you move? I started some private lecturing last Thursday - as and wehn needed basis. It was great to get back into it although slightly bizarre.

Nic great to hear from you too. We'll have a party for Amber when she is 4 at a softplay.

Rumpel my dd started preschool Sept.Was so lovely having some peace she loves it and my house is covered in her art work.Sure Amber will enjoy it, they get to be busy and messy somewhere else yay.

Hmm Amber loves painting drawing. I have to say she is very good - of course I know I am her Mummy but she seems t obe artistic naturally. The girls at the nursery said they were impressed with her art work too [proud emoticon] The first thing she ver drew which we recognised (a spider) we laminated LOL.

Yep cannot wait for whinging to be reduced to 1 instead of 2 .

Hello! Not sure if you'll remember me as it's been a very long time since I was last here. It is really is great to see so many familiar names here. Hope you're all really well. Can't believe our DSs and DDs are already 3 Suddenly Sam seems really grown up and we have the most hilarious conversations!

We had a little party for his birthday, but there seemed to be mainly girls there, so that made him look particularly naughty!

I remember you mrsblobby! Nice to hear from you
Hello to totally, PL & nicand2 aswell, its so nice that everyone is coming back to say hi!

kai was 3 last tuesday, we had a halloween fancy dress party for him, he was a skeleton

He got an easel from his grandad which he hasnt stopped playing with since!!
He got lots of toy story stuff aswell, he is obsessed with it!

He was so excited this year, it was great, cant wait for christmas now!!
