One More Time !!!


This being our Aussie weekend, I didn't get a chance to blog-- in fact the computer hasn't been turned on since Thursday night, and Treehouse channel has been our only viewing pleasure!!! Ye Gads, as Lexy learns that she is in control of remote, we may never watch "adult" tv again-- now don't misunderstand-- by adult, I mean, CNN, CBS, ABC, etc-- lest your mind have gone elsewhere!!!
School went well on Friday, didn't lose any kids, but turned out to be costly, probably more than the measly amount subs make--- just had to be sitting in the staff room when the book and novelty saleslady dropped off a new shipment of goodies--- I managed to resist buying the Jean Pare newest---- since I rarely cook these days , it'd be a hard sell to justify buying another useless book to add to my large collection of unused cookbooks--- BUT--- there were learning books -- ABC and number learning-- couldn't resist those for Aussie and Lexy----
Austin is a master manipulator-- amazing how young they learn the ways of delay and control---- took him and Arielle bowling on Friday-- time to leave--- "One more time!" he says-- Okay, that's a deal--- BUT -- the concept of ONE needs some working on--- well no, not really, because he kept on saying, "One More Time!"
Now everything has turned into bowling---Our coffee table the alley---- so much for knick knacks Mikki-- you'll have to be moving them shortly---- At bathtime, he placed the empty shampoo bottles lining the tub, (when they're empty, people, can't you throw them out?), at one end for pins, and little yellow rubber ducky as the ball---- The water had turned cold before I could get him through the twenty One more times !!!
Wouldn't it be something if we could only make that "one more Time"-- work for us ????

Cute! I was spoiled last night when we got in the truck at the airport. There were 7 of us packed in the extended cab and then N's son, Imi, who was sitting next to me said in his broken english, "Gillian I'm cold!" So, I grabbed him and wrapped him up in his coat and tried to cuddle him enough so he would warm up. He is usually so full of energy that he is rarely so cuddly, but I guess he was feeling so cold, that he really needed the hugs. I love that feeling of having little ones snuggle in... I got out of moving the boxes from the truck into the store because I had to keep Imi warm!! So, that was an added bonus!

You are lucky to have two little ones around so often!

There is actually another term for after "One more" down here. It's "Lucky Last!" How bad's that. Ellen (sister-in-law) taught me that one when she was younger and had already had a few "One more's" of whatever it was she wanted. And then I was hit with "Lucky last". Then you have to pick the kid up and move, as it ends up like the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends...

"One more time " the famous Aussie quote - oh I know that one all too well ! . 1 turns into 2 into 3 ... and you know how that is . He loves bowling .. and golf ... soccer .. footballs , I have a feeling we are definatley one of those families who are always at a school sports game when he starts school - Cookbooks - that is my downfall - speaking of cookbooks and food - I have cookboooks for sale for the preschool austin will be going to - only $11.00 ( I will use Aussiesnan's blog to advertise !) And for those of you who dont like to bake - there is a cake walk ( cakes and squares , breads ect ) this Saturday ( sept 30 ) at the wedgeport fire hall 2-4 to raise money !!! Come one come all ... there that is all my soliciting for the day :-)

LJLC: You can steal that picture from my blog-- in the archives- i think she left in August-- see you tomorrow-

FF: It was nice to see Chantal too, Tammie and Angie have beautiful girls!

NL: I know how quickly the cuddle years go-- so I really do enjoy my hugs and cuddles!!

Mike:: Lucky Last!! Good one-- but what struck me funny was realizing that Ellie was your sister in law, seems more like a niece!
Mandy:Put me down for a cookbook, it's a worthy cause-- aussie!

Fireguy: You're right, whatever we expose him to , he takes on with gusto--- maybe we'll take him skating this winter and he'll be a Wayne Gretzky!
