My Incy Wincy Spider-Boy!

SOOOOOOO cute!!
More photos from Lesley party tomorrow... maybe...

Halloween!!!

Today is Haaaalllooweeen!!! oooohhh!!!
Mummy's actually sick with fever and sore throat but because I promised my little princess Boo that I will take her to the Halloween party... no choice, take panadol and GO!

(Poor Moo is at Lesley's today... but he get to have a party later coz Lesley is having one at hers - which we are going as well!!)

Here's Boo getting ready to go out in her Cat Fairy costume (which I got from Sainsbury. Not much choices in her size, its either this or Frankenstein... and I don't think she will appreciate being a Frankenstein)

Boo - aka Cat Fairy with her Cat wandParty starts at 10am. We were abit early so went to Costa Coffee for a mocha for me and a babycino for Cat Fairy.

The party is super crowded!! First thing we did... to the face painting booth... We want a butterfly on our face!! (I know she's a Cat Fairy...)

Ta-da!

Having a nice biccie.

Doing some art and craft

Bouncy Castle!!!

We left the party early 'coz it got too noisy and smoky (they were playing smoke machine 'coz of the disco). Went for lunch at nearby cafe. I had spagetti carbonara which Boo shared. And when we were paying, the nice lady at the cashier gave Lucy her first sweety of the day - a purple lollipop!

We came home and she went straight to bed for her nap (good girl).

Later we will go to our 2nd party at Lesley!!

More photos on that later....

Big kisses and cuddles from Boo and Moo

Separation Anxiety - Mine!

My name is Lynn and I'm going back to work on 1 Nov!
There, I've said it!
I know that day is going to come soon but I still can't believe how fast!

And I thought it will be easier 'coz its my second time and since I've done it with Boo, I should be a real pro at it now. No!!! its worse this time. I think I might even be stressed and depressed about it!

Hands up those who heard me go... I cant wait to get back to work, it will be much easier than taking care of 2 kids... But now I've figured how how to do it, and they are at such a lovely age, Moo is crawling and playing and giggling, and Boo is so bright! (a sidetrack, this morning when we drop them off at Lesley's, she saw a piece of plastic on the floor and asked me what it was, I said it was a part of the car which has fallen off. So she went in and solemnly told Lesley "Lesley, my daddy's car is very old, it is falling apart!" while shaking her head!! We were in fits when we heard that, except smelly AM of course who was protesting "My car is not that old!!")

Moo has done v well at Lesley today though. Only cried for 10min after we left and then played happily rest of time. Tmr will be his 1st full day!!! Hope it all goes well...

Oh, one last time. Moo and I went for our second slingmeet this afternoon at Coffee and Tease. Had lots of fun! Really good to see so many different slings! Hope I would be able to still meet up once a while for slingmeets even when I'm back at work!

Baby Moo is 1 - Part Two

Moo being presented with a singing card this morning, sent all the way from Singapore by Gong2 and Ma2 and Uncle Kelvin-ah. Think he's abit stunned by the non-stop happy birthday song that kept coming out from the card.... LOL

Daddy's and Mummy's card for Moo. Notice the cheeky grin on the birthday boy! I think he likes the card.
Boo looking v sweet and pretty.
Had to take another pic of the birthday boy with his birthday pressies...

T-shirt is sent by Gong2 and Ma2 for Moo's birthday! Think Moo still sleepy...
Birthday cake choosen by Boo for Moo! Very pretty...
Getting ready for the big bash at Lesley's
Boo and the giant (aka smelly AM)
The Warren family! (and little Isobel in the corner! LOL)

Moo likes his pizza!
You can't see, but smelly AM was using the big No. 1 balloon to hit Moo on the head, hence the slightly knocked-out look on Moo...
Big bash at Lesley's.

Boo had a bit too much chocolate cake...
The 4 beauties (Rosanna, Isabel, Boo and Emily)

Boo has to do one last pose... me think she can be model next time!
Overall, a really fantastic day for both Moo and Boo.

Next door neighbours came over in the evening with a pressie and card for Moo. Invited them in for pizza and cake.

Oh and I LOVE my smelly AM. He is so sweet today. I'm really lucky I married him!

*kiss*

Baby Moo is 1! Part One

That's right, my baby is 1!!!
I cant believe how fast time flies...

We went up to my MIL on Sat to kick-start the celebrations. I think we bought him too many pressies *oops*
Moo had his family party on Sun with a winnie and tigger cake specially bought by Grandma *thank you Grandma!* Uncle Peter came down in time for the party.


Boo did the blowing out of candles on Moo's behalf coz Moo still dont get that fire on candle can be HOT! He tried to eat the candle after it was blown out and got a shock!

Have to show this pic coz I look so slim in it! LOL

We got 2 balloons for Moo and a pink princess one for Boo

Out of all the pressies, Moo liked his sis princess wand!!

My 2 lovely kiddos *AWWWWW...*
Daddy and his boy
Mummy's pressie to Moo

Moo's birthday cards

Sad!

I have some sad news to share...
my friend Louise's baby girl amberleigh has passed away yesterday morning - she was only about a week old.

I only know Lou for a while, we met in the library one day when I took Moo there. She came in with Kitty and Alfie and her bump. Kitty is a really pretty 4yr old who is abt to start primary school so v excited. Alfie is really cheeky and a real climber!

We started talking and Lou must be one of the chillest mum I've met. I really like her so offered to give her my double buggy which I'm not using.

I was so looking forward to meeting Amberleigh but just on Mon, I got a text from Lou saying she is rushing baby Amberleigh to a specialist heart hospital and it was touch and go. I prayed really hard for my new friend but received the terrible news last evening.
Baby Amberleigh passed away after putting on a brave fight. She did hold on to see her daddy who rushed back from South Africa.

Words cannot express the sadness and pain Lou must be feeling now. My heart goes out to her and her family. I hope all of you who read this will join me in prayer.

MAY GOD'S LOVE COMFORT YOU

There are so many things on earth...we simply cannot explain,
Why one of us is taken...while the rest of us remain;
But, 'til the day we see the Lord,and He makes all things clear,
We will find Comfort in knowing...that He is always near.

Lots and lots happened!!

OK, I'm rubbish at blogging... I keep meaning to update but keep forgetting.

And now we are in Oct already!!!

Well firstly, share the good news... Lulu aka Boo is now dry (in the day). Very proud of her coz she knows how to ask to go to toilet amd when out, can even use the big toilet.

So now that her nappies are no use, she has created a new use for it.... as a hat!! haha! that's my girl.

Secondly, we are now officially in winter! Ok, autumn but its so cold and grey it might as well be winter *sigh*

But we did make full use of our last few "summer-ish" days.

Went out with Stuart and Belle and their lovely kids, Isabella and Jake (Jake is 1 and walking!!!) to Aldenham Country Park - very nice. Moo tried the swing for first time (doesnt he look cute in his bandana? )

Then went to Whipsnade Zoo and see the animals. Took the steam train round which Boo really enjoyed.

And of course, Boo had her fill of ice-cream... no more until next summer!!

Thirdly, lots of new babies born in Sep!!

My next door neighbours had baby Ben on 19 Sep, Pinkie had gorgeous baby Kayley on 20 Sep, Louise had baby amberleigh on 29 Sep and Valerie had baby Natelie on 30 Sep!!!

Welcome to all the babies and big kisses and cuddles to the mummies - well done!

Lastly, Boo started nursey on 11 Sep at Little Acorns. She now goes there twice a week from 9.15am to 12.15am. Moo and I stayed with her for first 2 weeks but now she's happily going there on her own - I have to chase her for a good-bye kiss!

Moo also started with Lesley (my childminder) this week. I'm going back to work on 1 Nov so have to get him settled there. He did brillantly - ate all his food, played with all the children. Boo wasnt of much help though, Lesley said when Moo cried, Boo just pat his head in a patronising manner and said "oh baby, dont cry" and rolled her eyes! She is getting quite an attitude, that madam!
