Day 38 - Distractions

As you can see by today's photo I was attempting to do some work tonight while being very distracted by 'The Proposal' which is one of my favourite movies. So many funny moments. If you haven't seen it already I suggest you go and watch it.

The work and movie watching was interrupted by Olivia who was still awake at 9:00pm and when I went in discovered her bare bottom. I think she is trying to tell me that she is ready for the toilet. You'll see some more posts revolving around toilet training later in the week when I brave that big step.

I did actually get my work done, probably not as quickly as normal, but hey I was multi tasking!

Day 37 - Meeting essentials

Tonight I had a meeting after a busy day at work and was very grateful for Amelia bringing along a little box of Roses chocolates.

Jess, Amelia and myself have been meeting to begin organising the Australian Multiple Birth 2013 National Convention. It is under 2 years away, but let me tell you there is a lot of work to do and to be done. We are looking at organising our venue and I am really looking forward to having a tour of some of them in a few weeks time.

The best part of the meeting is definitely the catching up. I love that I have met and made some lovely friends through the Multiple Birth Association.

Day 36 - Round and Round we go

Today was marked as an adventure day. With returning to work 4 days a week I am trying to make sure to spend lots of time with the girls doing the fun things. We started out getting the girls new car seats at Kid Essentials this morning and in doing so we discovered we will never take another passenger in our car again, but that is okay with me!

We then hit the shops in hope of me finding some new jeans among other things. As usual we came home with more for the girls than I did for myself. A new dressing gown and slippers for winter, which they demanded they put on for the trip home in the car. But at least I did get my jeans!

We found time to go on the Merry-Go-Round in Civic. Afterwards we left with the promise that we will return for a ride on the Merry-Go-Round, hopefully they'll happily sit on a horse by themselves next time as well.

Day 35 - Monique's baby shower

Today we celebrated the upcoming arrival of Monique and Russell's baby. We gathered at Meagan's house on what turned out to be a beautiful day to celebrate with family and friends.

With each sister bringing a plate of food to share, as usual we had plenty of food, some party games and of course presents. Monique was very organised and had a baby registry which made it easy for some to spoil the mum to be. Now the fun begins Monique - finding room for all the goodies you received today.

Thanks for letting me share in this joyous occasion with you today. I can't wait to meet the new addition to your family.

Day 34 - The cake popping continues

Tonight we went back to Morgana's place to finish making the cake pops for tomorrow's baby shower. We had to stick them onto a lollypop stick, ice them with melted chocolate and roll them in the pretty sprinkles.

It was quite a delicate operation as sometimes the chocolate hadn't hardened enough to roll in the sprinkles and other times it had hardened too quickly so you didn't get an even spread of sprinkles.

You would be mistaken if you thought Monique was having a girl. There were a variety of colours for the sprinkles. I happened to take a photo of the pink ones as I thought they would look a little more vibrant in my photo... and I think I was correct!

Day 33 - Incomplete

It is strange having an office and not a classroom, and for those of you who know me extremely well know that I love to rearrange my classroom. My office is not big enough, nor is the rainbow room for me to do much rearranging so I am having to do small things to make it my own. Including a little sign on my door.

However, my organising is incomplete, and this is a second choice blog entry today. I was hoping to use the photo I took at boxing of Meagan and Melanie, but for some reason, Instagram didn't store the wonderful, glistening photo I took. Oh well, next time ladies.

I hope to have another photo of a completed rearrange of the office and rainbow room, which I now call my office. If only I can find the time to be in my office to organise it!

Day 32 - The cake popping begins

Tonight Myrrha, Morgana, Monique, Meagan, Melanie and myself caught up to begin making the cake pops for Monique's baby shower this coming Saturday. A very interesting process which began with making 3 beautiful cakes, crumbing them, mixing in frosting and then creating the balls which you see featured in today's blog. These balls will now sit in Morgana's fridge until our next get together on Friday which will see us icing and decorating them. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Cake pops are one of these things that I often wonder, who thought of creating such things?
