your name etc

We got some puppets, some books, a wooden bookcase for novels for $15 that was our bargain hehe.
Ooh do you have a pool? My mum and Dad have a pool but they live in Timaru 2 hours away and I think its still green Dad hasn't cleaned it.
I can't swim it good to learn early I just never got the hang of it and Had an experience where I had to get rescued.

Yep we have a pool! It's lovely and crystal clear atm ready for summer! It was about 28 degrees today, and it's getting really humid. Australia is beautiful, you should come and explore! My mum recently went to NZ and loves it there, very pretty country she said (I haven't been).

I'm a big 'water baby', love the ocean and pool, and swimming. I can surf and scuba dive - although it has been a while now smile BABIES keep me too busy!! lol So I'm pretty happy that Tyran got the "water" gene!

Bargain on the bookcase!

Hey Sharelle nice to meet you smile
your wee boy has such a cool name! does it have special meaning?

Hi Anna! Thanks for the comment on his name! Apart from my own parents no one likes his name and they dont mind telling me so its nice to hear someone say that they like it! It doesnt really have any meaning, i heard it watching the football once and really liked it, it was actually a players surname but that doesnt bother me much, i like anything differant and hubby actually agreed on it which was a bonus! Hes not that keen on differant names smile

Hi to Gabrielle, Kirby and Sharelle!

Sharelle - sometimes I wonder why people are so opinionated on names? I think Wakelin is a nice name - very different, sure! But that's great in my book! I mean I understand everyone is entitled to their opinions, but there is a little person with that name - deal with it people! lol! iykwim...

Had another scorcher here in Oz today Anna, huge thunderstorm tonight, lost one of our palm trees (about 10 foot tall)! Just snapped off at the base. Tyran was freaking out - it's the first time, normally he's really cool with the storms... but it was a bit of a doozy tonight! Lost power for a bit too, so that didn't help. He ended up "hiding" in our bed under the duna - with me - I wasn't allowed to leave his side...

Hello ladies, hope everyone has had a nice weekend..

Sytarnya- we are going to albany on the 19th December actually, for the weekend, we have rellies there who haven't seen the girls so we will go up and show them off.
I would also say twins is harder than 2 singles although i wouldn't know but judging on what other people tell me.. with twins they do everything at the same time, so you have 2 in nappies, 2 toilet training, 2 teething, 2 learning to eat, 2 throwing tantrums at the same time.. whereas if you have 2 singels they will be doing things at different times. Also i find with my two they throw more tantrums because they dont want to share me or the toys, if one is with me the other one has to be to which makes it hard as having 2 12 kilo babies hanging off you is hard work!! lol.

Anna- I never dress my girls the same, for starters there are so many pretty baby clothes out there that i want to buy them all and not 2 of everything, and when you dress them the same you get asked a lot of stupid questions which really get on your nerves when your asked them everyday, and also they don't bother to learn the girls differences only their similarities.. Their personalities are so different that sometimes its' hard to remember that they are twins they really are two different little girls.

Welcome to the new ladies and i do like the name Wakelin.. it's different but not an embarrasement to him later on.

We had a good weekend, although it's been really cold here and black clouds, typical for our town, it is always meant to rain and always holds off then when its' meant to be sunny it always rains.
