Ahhhhh the sweet sizzle of hot pins sinking into dollies :)

Voodoo night was great :)

basinbrat, loudbari, K. and I had lots of fun ....
In other news ... the car is GREAT!!!! sinquanaclare has moved in with her full licence ... go the full licenced driver!!!!

Well we got the car back after only waiting a year ...

So, to celebrate, we sat in Assumpta and made vrrrrrroooooooooooom noises.

NB:  Neither basinbrat or I have a licence to drive :(

Woo!!!!  No more South Central for basinbrat and I!!!!

McDeadbeat is prepared to buy me out on my half of Projectile Vomit Manor .... 

*looking for somewhere with a heatpump and an en suite*

In other news, my friend S. gave birth to her wee boy last night!!!!  He's a whopping 9 lb 15 oz. 

Where does the bloody time go, aye?  Number Two Son is already a month old!  basinbrat and I sort of looked at each other last night in sheer amazement that we've managed to keep the little sucker alive and get some sleep all at the same time ...

Number Two Son looks up at her with the most adorable look on his face, however, when I try and capture this lovely moment on my camera Number Two Son looks like he's got Downs Syndrome ... not so flash.

This week, being school hols, we've been flat out entertaining the kids .... it's been an unholy tornado of McD's, Chipmunks, the Gardens and peoples houses .... the Mummy Militia has been out in force and the holidays have passed and we all appear to still have our sanity, YAY!

In other news, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Week.  We're pretty bloody aware of it now.  The Universe has a keen sense of irony.  Why is it that my friend C. has had the shitest year EVER and there is no let up in sight?  She's the world's best person and the most amazing friend you could ever hope to have and she gets shat on from a great height all the fucking time.  Okay, whoever/whatever is Out There.  Fuck off and leave her alone.  You've been told.

Rugby replay.  Our place, 3 p.m. Saturday.  Tonga vs Eng-ger-land (Go Tonga!!!) Bring beer and crass remarks :)
Number One Son is in bed and Number Two Son is asleep (finally thank my many armed gods) in his swing :)

basinbrat and I are watching a doco on Keegan, the poor wee nipper that's gone through umpteen surgeries.  Puts a crying baby into perspective like nothing on earth.

micheinnz, basinbrat and I attempted to give our new friend T. the short, short version of the McHobo saga ... the upshot of which was T. looking horrified and questioning my sense of smell.

I tried writing an e-mail to T. to bring her up to speed (in Brothers Grimm format, naturally) and started remembering the good stuff.  Damn.  It's easy to demonize your ex.  Too easy.

We've been having a lovely time.  Number One and Number Two Son have had many visitors and playdates, Number One Son was taken to the park for a hoon on his bike by K.  I think that the child may have put the fear of Jeebus into poor K. as she mentioned how fond he is of riding a Warp Nine point Five down a certain hill.  I have fond memories of Number One Son doing the same thing on his trike and mentally planning the quickest route to the ER.  He had a ball and huge thanks to K.  K. is the hand that is holding T-rex in my userpic btw.

Later on we had a Staff Function to attend .... WHY O WHY were ALL the carpets/furniture either cream or beige????  As mother to a rambunctious 4 yo I nearly died of horror at the prospect of what my kids could do to this house (my HoD's) ... my good friend S. had more or less the same thoughts upon crossing the threshold with her two kids...

We were also lucky enough to host a rugby breakfast :)  I was awoken in the best way EVER by micheinnz brandishing a guinness in my face.  She rules!!!!  SA shafted the sassenachs, well done boys :)  Lots of "ooooooo Young Man" crassness hehe  We absolutely must do it again!!!!

More later ... I have affidavits to compose.

How can something so small (50.5 cm long) take up my entire queen size bed?

Number Two Son is LITTLE and only just a week old today and already is a bloody bed hog :)  Lucky he's soooooooooooo cute :)

He slept from half ten till half two and then after a feed till six.  I love my baby, he is the best baby in the world.  He's only bitten me twice and I can more or less sleep through the night.

Also my friends T and T gave me a motorised swing thing for the baby ... it swings, it plays music and it has tweety birds a la Tom and Jerry that twirl around in time to the music.  It is the best thing ever and basinbrat and I want one in our size.

Right, I should go and gaze some more at Number Two Son.  Number One Son has gone to daycare and *drum roll* may actually see McDeadbeat tonight.

Hi this is Miche, posting on Mo's behalf to announce the arrival of No. 2 Son, just before 6am this morning by emergency Caesarean section.

Both Mum and Boy are well, and in addition Boy is just gorgeous.

And here's a picture to prove it:

Yay! Baby!!

Well.... careful what you wish for and all that ... go you little pineapple!!

My waters broke about an hour ago and am having little (please God stay little until the epidural is in) contractions ....

Can y'all make sure that basinbrat doesn't starve to death while I'm away????
