Today is a new day..and a hot one!

Ahh, a blog, what an original idea..lol..I wonder how often I'll remember to update it? Time will tell.

I guess I should tell you a little about us, might be kinda nifty for you to have an idea of who we are so as it makes a little more sense :-)

I'm Melissa, a 34yo WAHM to Eb 13y DD, Suraya 4y DD, Charlie 20m DS, Luke & William 10m DS's. I'm married to my wonderful, patient and very understanding best friend Jeff. He's a car nut and suffered some sad news this week. He took Thursday of last week off as I and 3 kids had gastro, then he had an RDO on Friday so decided to go to a shed he and his mate use to house their cars that they are restoring, and do some small welding jobs for afore mentioned mate. It was a total fire ban day so he welded in the shed, the shed caught fire, burnt 3 cars, some of our larger kids chrissy presents and a ton of furniture and car parts. The contents and shed were fully insured but Jeff has been working on his car alone for almost 10 years now. He has some small burns on his hands but is otherwise unharmed (Thank god!) He and his mate are devestated!

Anyway, it turns out most of our chrissy presents that were there were unharmed, and we only lost 1 - the slide for the exsisting swing set. But the local paper did a story and made it sounds like we lost ALL pressies, we've been inundated with offers of replacement presents. It's very nice to see the christmas spirit alive and well. We have ofcourse declined all offers and explained our extremely good fortune :-)

The kids had a good but tiring day today. After I finished work this morning we went to the outdoor sunday market, it was sweltering and we should have stayed at home. The kids were hot and grumpy so we went from there to my Mum and Dad's, which was great, the kids can play, it's cool and we all had lunch. All kids but Eb fell asleep on the way home so we carried everyone in for their arvo nap and I did some more work.

On exciting news, it was an itti bitti stocking at Nurture Nappies last night, I scored a nice new white one :-) Will also be waiting for the Monster stocking at itti this week. I just love them.

As we still have 3 in nappies, I feel highly justified in buying and buying and buying some more. Dh thinks otherwise..lol..I've just this week received fluffy mail from Nicky @ NicNaps. Ohh, how do I love these :-) 9 adorable AIO's. I also managed to score 2 fruit salad pockets last night and am pretty chuffed about that. All 3 boys are horrors at having their bum's changed so AIO's are fantastic.

Well, I've just realised how late it is so I might head off to bed. Before I go I'll share some pics of my babies :-) That are up the top, not sure why they won't go here but am too tired to care right now. And I'll load the rest tomorrow..Night
