Mackenzie has been really bad with lying lately that I don't know if we are going to have a party any more! As far as she knows she won't be getting one, she doesn't care though.
Now the thing is, I think it's important to have a 5th birthday! It's another milestone in their lives! I am now thinking maybe having a surprise party for her. Question is how would one go about it? All her friends are only 4 as well so I can't really give them an invite and say don't say something. Do I give the parents the invite and ask them not to say anything? Or just throw the party with her knowing? I really don't know!

Permanent Hours
I have been back at work about eight months now and in that time I have had three lots of interviews with two of them coming out with bad news! One I was not surprised about. Mackenzie was sick with a tummy bug and my mind was not in the interview. Second one I just missed out on getting some supervising hours.
Today I had an interview for two shifts which would have given 13 hours a week. There was one shift I really wanted as it's where I love to work! I just got the phone call to say I got the shift I wanted! So hello 8 hours a week permanent work! Was really starting to doubt that I would ever get hours! I interview really badly! If people could judge me on my work I would probably be good as gold!
Third time lucky hurrah!

Toilet Training Kaitlynn II
Today we have had more success. She has done a wee on the potty this morning and knew before she started going! She hasn't peed on the floor yesterday or today, pretty proud mummy!!
I can't believe how easily it all seems to be coming along! One thing I hate about today though is Kaitlynn has pooed on me! She may have the peeing sensation sorted but clearly not that one! Oh joy. Haven't had that happen since the newborn days!

Toilet Training Kaitlynn
We are not actively toilet training here as such! Kaitlynn has no nappy on most days and is quite happy to be that way! She will normally hold on until nap time when she has a nappy on to do anything.
Over the last week we have had some wees on the potty and even a poo! So proud of her! Mackenzie was 2 when she started training. I must say I would quite like it if I no longer had to buy nappies in my groceries!

This week...
I lost 600 grams. I wasn't expecting a lot because of my random hours at work I haven't been eating the best some days! Also due to it being night fill I have only got out for one walk!
I will keep trucking on this week and hope I lose a little more other wise my goal may not be met this month! Fingers crossed I can do it!!

Theme? DONE!
Mackenzie has asked for a princess cake, which I guess would mean a princess party? Yay, quite an easy option she went for I think! She did want My Little Pony. I haven't seen MLP party stuff in town so it was all going to have to brought online which I wasn't looking forward to haha.
This morning the list making has begun. We have part of a list of names. Colours have been sorted.
Now I need to get food sorted and hire somewhere to have it! I think I have decided on a date and time just need to get D to agree to it and make sure he has it off work! I am getting a little excited about it all, also terrified though! We have never done the theme thing before and I have no idea how it's going to go haha.

I love...
That I have picked a school that keeps their website updated! I want to get stationery sorted while the sales are on. Mackenzie doesn't need a lot being a new entrant but I want to save $$ where I can as I know what the uniform is going to cost! I have been wondering how I was going to get my hands on a stationery list as I don't know many people with kids at Ascot! Mackenzie has a couple of friends there but I'm not in contact with the parents apart from when we bump into each other or something.
Today I thought I would check out the website thinking it might be a long shot, but there they were! Yay so pleased that it's something else I should be able to get ticked off the list. I still really cannot believe I am preparing my little girl for school.
On a side note, do Postie Plus send out emails when they are having a sale? I want to know when uniforms are on special so I know when to go do a layby! I'm all for saving lots of money on this stuff lol! I love that she is starting school near the beginning of the year with all these sales!

Changing Things Up.
Things have been getting worse with Sophie, not better. She is always hungry even though she is being fed the right amounts, not listening, toileting is bad at times too.
Today I decided I'd had enough. I have changed her food. She was on a supermarket brand that I thought was ok. Now she is on Eukanuba. She seems to really like it and the food looks better.
Her treats I have changed. I was giving her chocolate drops but she seemed to be getting over them. She is now getting bacon strips so bring on the training her again! Now Christmas is over I will start spending a lot more time with her.
Toileting. She is now 4 months old. No longer pooing inside but will still wee. If she doesn't wee inside she will go on the door step beside the laundry where she sleeps. It's driving me nuts again! So back to spending 5 minutes every hour outside with her hoping she will go!
How many of you done puppy school with your puppies? I am starting to think she could do with it because of how excitable she is! She is about 10kg now and huge! She jumps up on visitors and just won't leave them alone when she sees them! I am thinking it could help? I would need to get her into one now though for it to do any good.
Back to the vet for this little miss next week too! We have been so busy we completely forgot about her 3rd vax. Woops. Hopefully with the change in diet and the walking I am doing with her he won't be telling me she is a little fat still haha!

Planning
So I am starting to think about planning Mackenzie's fifth birthday! Can't believe I am having to think about this already!!
Today she has asked if she can have a My Little Pony party, A princess party and there was something else I can't remember. I am thinking the princess party sounds the easiest but she loves My Little Pony so I dunno haha! Also I am thinking do I have it at home or hire somewhere else? Friends and family all in one or two smaller parties! So much to think of but still plenty of time to do it!
So watch this space as I pop my ideas in here as I decide on them!

Happy New Year!
A bit of a late one because I have forgotten about this place a little over the last couple of weeks!!
We had a wonderful Christmas and it seems the stuff I got the girls was good as it's still being played with now. A lot of it is normally thrown in the toybox and forgotten about.
I have been working lots, so have been rather tired and find the energy for facebook and Cheeky Monkey but that's about it really!!
New Years was fairly quiet too with a couple of drinks with friends and then went into town for a couple of hours. I never go to town and I really enjoyed it!!
This year is going to be a year of change for me! I am really looking forward to it and am really motivated. I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for my family and I!
