First Post of twenty-eleven

Welcome back Bloggers, to the year of 2011.

To start my blogging journey of the new year, let me tell you about my adventurous (and yet, not so adventurous) day. It started at 8am, yep thats right EIGHT AM! I think because it was so dark. Mummy told me it had stormed quite consistently from the early hours of the morning, and still I slept on. Mum was concerned about sending me to little school with the rain being as heavy as it had been all night, and the fear from the devastations which had already hit Queensland. However, I was certain I wanted to go and visit my friends, and mummy took comfort knowing she was only around the corner in the case of an emergency.

Which, turns out, mummy should have kept me home as at 11am she got a message to say daycare was being evacuated due to a rising creek nextdoor. Mummy couldn't even receive a call due to Vodafone being down so it turned into a bit of a drama. Thankfully, all is safe and sound and I got to spend the day with mummy at home, with two special visits from Auntie Catie & Auntie Tenny.

My first day at daycare was exciting! It was only me, with 5 boys. I seemed to enjoy that more than normal and was in very high spirits when Mummy came to pick me up. Squealing and running to the door! Taking my own lunch was exciting, i enjoyed helping mummy pack it this morning.

The rest of the day was very quiet. I played with playdough, read books and just enjoyed the great 'indoors'. No nap today so it was early in bed for me.

Nighty night.

Sweet dreams

Love you.

Dont let the bedbugs bite.

christmas celebrations number 1!

Friday night was the first celebration for mummys birthday. Mummy is so special she gets to celebrate her birthday for 5 whole days. Whooooza! Lucky I am mummys daughter so i get to have the same special treatment! Friday we went out for dinner with Nahnah & Poppa, Auntie Tenny & Uncle Ry, Auntie Catie and Mummy. Daddy came down to say hello and take me home at the end of the night so the night was complete with lots of people i loved! We all had such yummy food, and i was a really good girl while we were out. I ate fish, vegies and chips YUM! I ate most of it up, including some of mummys chocolates that she got for her birthday. I got so excited when she said i could have one of those. I am such a lucky little girl! Daddys friend Fi and her partner Andrew were there as well, coincidently. So it was really nice to see them as well. Daddy took me home and mummy went out for some birthday boogies

Waking up at dads house was fun on Saturday! I went into the room mummy was in and JUMPED on her bed to wake her up, and then i spent the morning jumping between mummys bed to Daddys bed so no one got sleep ins. They weren't complaining because i was having so much fun and had the biggest smile on my face. Daddy made us breakfast- nutergrain, YUM! And afterwards we went for a walk to the shops to get some more milk. I wasn't very happy but i think mummy & Daddy enjoyed the walk.

Afterwards it was time to go to family christmas number one with Great Aunt, Zoe & Cam, Nahnah & Poppa, Uncle Jack, Nanny & poppy, and Auntie Kate the Great! I was very excited about our first christmas for the year, but still can't work out why santa didn't come! Before everyone got there i had a huge 4 hour sleep. Maybe that is why i was grumpy in the morning. We all had a yummy lunch and got to open some presents. I got a cool outfit (red and white skirt and top) A camel unka munka sent from his special place of holidays/work, and an awesome new charlotte place mat. Mummy got a new picnic backpack which i keep asking her if i can take it to school!

Today mummy thought she had left my bib and milk cup at dads house. She managed to find them while i was sleeping and she showed them to me when i was helping her make dinner. I asked if daddy was finished with them. When mummy said yes, i asked if he had driven them to mums house. How clever am i!? Mummy had to explain that she had mistaken them still being at dads and they were hiding in her bag all along! Silly mummy!

Today i got to play ball with chino with one of mollys new balls. That was fun, i learnt how to throw the ball really far! It is now only 7 sleeps til molly comes :)! We brought her a little collar today! I am so excited. It looks like we will have mollys brother sleeping at our house for 9 nights too :)!

Off to play with daddy tomorrow. Yay! I miss him lots! only 2 more sleeps till mummys real birthday :)

Walllllllleeeeeeeee

We love wall-e

Reachable goals

My mummy says we all need to set reachable goals for ourselves. So this is mine: I will update my blog at least once a week. Extreme i know, but it seems blog writing has taken a place on the back burner of my priorities. Sorry fellow blog readers, life is busy!

Life is decorated by all things Christmas at the moment (and of course, white sand and blue waves!). Mummy & I have enthusiastically put up our christmas tree a week to early for tradition. Mummy says we are making our own traditions. It looks amazing :) I learnt how to place the baubles on the tree, and had a blast helping mummy. I told her all about Santa coming to find our house on christmas night! He will bring presents to me, mummy and molly i said. And daddy, at Roshens house. Mummy has completed the family christmas cards for the year, we've printed off the letters (double the amount 80, instead of 40... woops!) and got the christmas photo all organised. Looks like the festive seasons is well and truly on the way. All the presents are under the tree (except for those from Santa & one more we are waiting for to arrive in the post).

We brought some presents for Molly today, bowls, leads, a few toys! It was so much fun picking things for her. I wish that she was ready to come away from her mummy & daddy and come and live at our house. 'Not long to go' mummy says. I can't wait! I talk about her everyday, and mummy has given me a photo of her to have next to my bed. she is getting so much bigger already. I asked mummy today if she will be 'molly vagg' like I am 'Charlotte Vagg'. Mummy said she will just be molly :)

There has been many adventures taking place and at the beach and parks around the lovely sunshine coast. A trip to brisbane is on the cards for this coming weeks, so as always mummy & I are go, go, go!

This week at little school there was 'a snake in the rafters'. perhaps he had heard packed to the rafters was finished and wanted a shot at prime time tv.

Daddy is house sitting at the moment for a lady named Roshen. His house is just near the beach so it is so much fun to visit him there. I told mummy this morning that daddy brushes his teeth at roshen, but goes to the toilet at Nanny Bevs house! Mummy wasn't sure about this.

Not many more sleeps until exciting december. Mummys birthday, Christmas, Molly coming home!! Yayayaya! Can't wait.

What is with the rain

Raiiiiing, but not storms? Hmmmm. Its so hot and muggy and mummy doesnt have a pool. Bath time it is!

we have done a lot recently, a lot of swimming in daddys pool, alot of beach swimming. I pretty much love summer the best, except it is so hot!

I went for a drive down to brisbane this week with mummy to see cousins Emily, and avah! We got lost going there so it took us such a long time to arrive, that wasn't very much fun. I told mummy to take a particular street in brisbane, she didn't listen. It turns out I was right. Eventually we did arrive safe and sound and we got to have lovely play times and snacks with our beautiful family before having to head home again. Oh did I mention there was a puppy at the place emily and avah were staying at.. He was 10 weeks, his name is major and he is the same as the puppy we are getting. Soooo adorable! Mummy wanted to take him home, I said no!

Driving home again was long, lots of city traffic at that time of night so again it added about an extra hour to the trip. Mummy was grumpy, but we saw an accident on the way home so mum decided she'd prefer to be delayed than in an accident. Good insight!

This morning auntie catie came to visit me for a surprise :) We had fun together. I pulled all my stuff out of the tupperwear cupboard to play 'shops'. Mummy said it looked like i was moving out. I then made mummy, auntie catie and I lunch and gave us all drinks (pretend!) Before we went outside and aplyed on my park. Auntie catie taught me if i put my dress under my bum on the slide I go fasssster! Weeeee!

Today we spent the day with AUntie brookie and beautiful princess Allaiyah who I just loved giving so many hugs and kisses too. :) We had some lunch at the boat shed a beautiful play together.

Tomorrow we are off to toowoomba to see more lovely family :)

PINK NIGHT, Lovely people

Our girls night in last night was a smashing success. We have raised a grand total of $450- How chuffed are we right now? Mummy & I cooked up yummy pizza and quiche, got lots of treats for the ladies, the big kids are wine and the little kids had lime water. It was a great night. Zoe & I spent a lot of time playing on the park and eating all the goodies. At one stage I fell off my chair and went for a little roll down the hill. It was great entertaining at our house.

When mummy was blowing up the pink balloons to put out the front I was sooooo petrified of them (oooh dear daddy, i think its because those balloons popped the other day?!). I am okay now with them, mummy showed me that they are okay. I am a bit weary when I walk past them though and will steer clear a little bit.

You should have seen the mess we woke up to this morning, oh did I mention that my cousin Zoe had sleepovers? That was really exciting! I was so happy when mummy told me I pulled out the spare mattress and made mummy make the bed right there and THEN! So, this morning zoe and I helped mummy clean up, while making another big mess in my room and the lounge room with all my toys. As a treat for our help though mummy took us to the beach/park. I asked if Daddy could come to and mummy said she would see what he was doing.

I was so excited then when mummy said that daddy was coming to the beach. She said 'charli out of anyone who would you like to meet us at the beach.' and I said... ummmmmm, Dadda, daddy, charlis daddy!' She said YES! We had a play on the park where mummy was pushing zoe and I really high in the air and then we would through my swimmers for mummy to catch! That was really funny. After park time we had a picnic for morning tea complete with cupcakes, watermelon and water. Mummy & daddy had coffee. After we had eaten and put suncream on it was time for a swim!

And boy did swim! it was sooooo much fuuuuun! Daddy got all wet in his clothes but i don't think he minded! Zoe was having fun in the waves and I was having the time of my life. I didn't want to go in when mummy had finished so i stayed out with daddy and zoe when... ohnnoo! Daddy and I got stung by a blue bottle! It wasn't to bad, we were both very brave!! Daddy got some ice from the life savers and we put that on our stings! After that it was home time for lunch!

We went to nahnahs for lunch because Aunt, Todd & Camma had brought up some lunch! After that I got to go for another swim in the pool! Yaya! But it was just to much for me because i was soooo sleepy that mummy decided it was time to take me home and get me into bed.

Tonight nahnah will be coming around for dinner and a movie night because Poppa is driving to townsville in the truck. I am looking forward to it very much! I hope she brings Chino!

Only 4 weeks now till molly comes home :D

Girls night in tomorrow

mummy and i are very excited today in preparation for our girls night in tomorrow night. We have baked some triple choc-chip cupcakes, with 'pink ribbons' done in icing on the tops. They look funny, but it was fun. We have also made a vegetarian quiche for auntie catie, and prepared all our food.

Exciting.
But now what will we do tomorrow day? Maybe go to the beach if this rain clears up.

Chino came and had a visit with us today, play dates. It was fun. I took her everywhere with me, even when I had a nap she slept on my rug. We had lots of fun playing in my backyard and on my park. I couldn't understand though why she wouldn't hop on my swing with me.

Nanny and Poppy came to visit. I didn't see them for long though because I had to go to bed as i had been very cranky all morning. I woke up cranky, mum should have let me stay up!

Auntie Kelly also came to visit. her and mummy were talking while we were making our cupcakes and i interrupted to tell her that 'my daddy is a man'.

Tonight we went and had dinner with nahnah & poppa because we had to take chino home. That was fun, but we weren't around for long. At the dinner table mummy said 'love you charli.' and I turned to her and said 'i love daddy too,' haha- such a daddys girl at the moment!!!

I am all tucked up in bed now, preparing for a big night tomorrow night. Hopefully we can raise lots of money for cnacer :)
