Ooops

Oops haven't posted a blog entry for awhile...not that I've really had that much to say. Starting to make acquaintances down at the library at least as I tend to see the same set of Mum's most visits. In fact due to the suggestion of one of the Mum's that I try to let one out at a time I did decide to keep Abigail penned up in the stroller and let Isabel have free reign. Oh were the other Mum's delighted by her antics :) I have to admit she was pretty good only really once running off and trying to leave the room. Otherwise she was content to move around the room and even knocked humpty dumpty off the wall. At another point we were singing and she was dancing along facing the audience instead of Shirley our reader but hey she had everyone entranced. I had to bring her back to me a couple of times but most were pretty tolerant of her which was nice to see. At least I feel it's a pretty safe environment for her to be in so I'm not overly worried and having other people around Abigail meant I wasn't adverse to leaving her in there when I had to. So Monday Isabel gets strapped in and Abigail to roam.

I've ordered their Halloween costumes and I'm starting to make mental lists of things for the party. I might look up some games for the kids although in general they are going to be of such diverse ages I'm wondering. At least I'll have some things for a goodie bag for them to take home. Oh gawd are they really about to turn one on me?! My life has changed so much in the last 18 months it's not even funny. Yeah I say 18 months being pregnant kind started the changes. Yet in some ways it's not changed all that much. Kind of interesting.

Anyway lets see this week food...well the girls happily ate what we had for dinner on Monday night, meatloaf, mashed potatoes and zucchini and they had a little cake and strawberries for dessert. Other than that I've been using the old faithfuls this week, except for last night where I tried this chicken cesear pizza out. James loved it and I mean LOVED it. Which is surprising as there is cheese and anchovy paste in this recipe. I have to admit it did taste pretty good. So as I had purchased the pizza dough on a coupon with a buy two get $1.00 off deal I'm going to do a reprise tonight. This isn't a bad thing as I'm just pushing some of tonight's meals off onto next week so should make for a slightly cheaper food bill next week (I'm hoping). I have to admit I'm struggling at the moment to keep it low and I'm not sure why this week's should have been small...

I'm also thinking about getting pumpkin and doing something spectacular with that...I'm not sure yet what but I'm thinking....
