Nappy Cream Nightmare

Well apparently my child is going through the certain "rites of passage" willy nilly, first off was the paint the parquet floors with powder, and then the gel your hair with vicks, ooh and the smear yourself, your bedding and Sheepy silly with your nappy cream effort...

Now for all of you who don't know, powder and wooden flooring do not mix very well, after hoovering, sweeping and mopping three times over the evidence is still clear as daylight! to say that it's difficult to remove is a HUGE understatement, it is virtually impossible...

Evidence sample A...

Look what I did mom...

Sneezy with all the powder everywhere!!

A few days later we decided that nap time was for sissy's and that we would rummage through our nappy bag, pull out our vicks and gel our hair with it... (by the way Aidan, THATS SOOOO NOT COOL!!) after five 'shampoo, rinse repeats' his hair could still stand at attention...And so begins the tedious task again(however this time I shall use dish liquid- as per eHOw.com...)

Hair style Exclusive to Vicks....

Then the "Nappy Cream Nightmare" happened, see now we had Sean and Larine over with Tom and Ben, and after dinner we did our usual bedtime story, the whole say goodnight with the hugs and kisses, milk cup and climb into bed stuff all happened without any fuss(as usual) however, what was to follow was NOT in our usual routine! About half an hour into what we thought was "Dreamland" we hear Aidan crying, so in I go ready to tell him firmly to "SLEEP!" and well... all that managed to come out my lips was an "OH NO" and a roar of laughter, you see because it wasn't the normal sight of him sitting up fighting his sleep, no,no it was like I saw a ghost... he was COVERED from head to toe in nappy cream, and he also managed to do a number on the bedding and his toys too,needless to say I was up soaking and scrubbing the bedding till after 10.30 pm then diligently woke up at 6.30am to continue, with more scrubbing, I have fixed it though and all that remains now are the giggles and memories...( I tried and managed to restrain myself from taking pics of the fateful episode.)

It's just me

Now for those of you who know me, know that im not one of those girls that are into florals, French love stories, or tea and scones type of thing, ok granted I do drink tea but only when i really dont have much else to drink and yes i'll eat a scone but i wont go out of my way for either of these!
I am NOT prim and proper!

I laugh loud, I talk loud and I live loud, and to boot, I'm stubborn as hell!
I tell rude jokes(my family can vouch for that) and find the most daft things hilarious.My mouth should be in the Guinness book of world records because it achieves amazing things, things like working at a much faster rate than what my brain does(it has usually spat out some sort of comment long before my brain has registered what has happened) and for it's greatest feat, it manages to hold my entire foot(this is what follows after the mouth speed surpasses that of my brain)
I'm crazy and kooky and I just don't care!!
But hey it's just me!

I have never been someone to sit at home worrying what someone thinks of me, if you don't like it tough, there is noway I'm going to change the way I live my life to suit you (besides who said your way was the RIGHT way?)

If you want to live in a wallpapered shoe box and behave the way others feel you should behave then be my guest but life is short, way i see it why not Live loud, live proud and don't ever apologise for who you are!

It's the way I live , I just don't care, because its just me!

 

OOOOPPPPPSSS!

Oooopppsss I have been caught out again with this neglecting of the bloggy poo, goodness gracious, cheese and biscuits!! oh well lets get to it then.

Since I haven't blogged in a while it seems there will be some extra news in this one.

First off, we had entered Aidan into a spring tots competition at the beginning of September(voting lasted till the 15th October)anyway the prizes were: 1st- a micro scooter(a slightly overpriced scooter for children(R1500)-my opinion)
2nd- a glow bear(a bedtime bear whose fur glows in the dark-sonder batterye)
3rd- a box frame.

Well Aidan came 2nd(YAY) and got the glow bear, they even had his name embroidered onto the bears little shirt, it is just too cute( mind you that is the prize i wanted him to get)
Now during the voting time period i was feeling kinda like a bad mommy for wanting the Boogs to come second just cause we wanted to win the bear, but then I thought- "No I'm not a bad mommy I'll use this as a learning experience that "Winning isn't everything" , yip that coming first isn't the be all and end all and that sometimes someone else will come first"- Damn I'm pretty smart to turn my guilt of wishing him only 2nd into such a good lesson... (pity he's not old enough to understand it yet)

Next thing was we won a 3in1 nappy bag from 4aKid on facebook, you see they run these weekly giveaways where they ask you a question and then pick a few winners out of the emails that they receive, and well this time it was us!! yay how cool is that! here's what it looks like: http://www.4akid.co.za/products/454-nap-sac-3-in-1-baby-bag-backpack-in-camo-or-black


We also had Kyla-Lee's 1st birthday party and the two of them had such fun, Little Harrison(such a cutie with his chubby cheeks) and his mommy(Andrea) and daddy(Phillip) were there (the Aussie imports) that we have befriended through Mommalicious Mommas, a day of sweeties and feasting ensued for all the kids(especially Kyla and Boogie as that evening they went trick or treating in our complex, Kyla was a little pink fairy and Aidan was Spiderman... I think Aidan really loved it, every time someone opened their door he would just invite himself in(my golly I was only a little embarrassed seeing him making himself comfortable in other peoples homes) mind you everyone seemed to find it kind of funny so there was much laughter...



You would think that these two little sausages had had enough sweets for their entire lifetime(so did us mommies and daddies) however they found space for more the very next day when we all went to Ushaka for their Halloween show, Candice, Kyla and i went as the three fairy god mothers from Sleeping Beauty, Kyla was pink, Candice- white and i was blue, Boogie was Spiderman, Andrew was Frankenstein, and Ryan-well we called him gollum because he got this funny(and I mean FUNNY) mask that made him look exactly like gollum! it had us all in stitches! And when Aidan is old enough to understand we will explain the meaning Halloween has for us as Catholics/ Christians!
