Welcome to the Mutton and Lamb news!

Hi everyone, I attend a teaching PD yesterday about blogging and thought I would give it a go. It is a great way to share news, thoughts about the worlds and reflections. I plan to try and update it once a week so make sure you keep checking back. Our little family has had a pretty uneventful week. For the first time in a few weeks Chloe isn't sick although she does have her second tooth coming through. She is also a bit of a disaster at the moment. She has decided to give standing a bit of a go but she hasn't quite figured out how to keep her balance yet. She pulls herself up so that she is standing against anything. It doesn't matter if it is a stable object or not. Last night she had a really big fall. We heard a loud bang that only a skull on something hard can make. Cried enough to make as come running so she seemed quite hurt but we can not find a bruise on her anywhere. Us muttons have tough heads! She seems quite happy today so I don't think there was any long lasting damage. I thought we were going to be taking off to the doctors again. I didn't sleep all night though, I kept running in to check on her. In the end I put her in our bed but that didn't really help. Waking up with a baby hitting you in the face for fun every hour is not ideal either! At least we are guaranteed a good night sleep tonight. She has to konk out sooner or later!

I had a great tupperware party on the weekend. I invited about twenty people who initially all said they were coming. One by one everyone pulled out. I ended up with three people, Brenda, Nell and Agnieska. It was actually fun. we sat in a circle on the floor and played with the consultants tupperware. The highlight being when I attempted to cut off my finger with the fantastic new vegie slicer. I have been to two parties with this consultant and someone has been cut both times! Tupperware aint what it used to be! It bites back now! So us tupperware lovers spent up big and made a million jokes about the lack of guests. We still managed to eat all of the party food though. Good job girls! (Ben helped to. He wanted to go and play golf but I wouldn't let him. I said it looked like I had more guests if he stayed. He was repaid nicely with chocolate biscuits!)

Well there you have it, the first addition of the mutton and lamb news! Feel free to comment

Thanks pam, as you can see teaching PD does pay off. Although I think it is meant to be more for enhancing my teaching. Oh well, I'm just practicing before I teach your kids!
