Got Lots Done
Picked the car up from the insurance repairer, then had it taken across the road to the mechanic for more repairs and roadworthy etc, then took it down to Queensland Transport, paid all the necessary money to get rego and new Queensland license plates.
We only bought 6mths insurance because we don't know if we are going to America or not yet. Worst case scenario we renew again in May/June:No big deal.
After that we went shopping at Toombul, and then went to see Justin off to Melbourne, on the plane. Jazmin was being too slow with walking so she sat on the top of the suitcase with wheel, one leg each side of the handle, and went for a ride, which she quite liked!
As I was driving home I was listening to a CD of mine and one of the songs is "I'm on My Way" by the Proclaimers. Jazmin promptly said "Shrek" so she has clearly got the association because it is indeed a song from Shrek. If I ask her, "who is donkey's friend?" sometimes she will say Shrek. Other times if I ask her "who is Shrek's friend?" she either says Shrek or donkey (which sounds more like doggie at the moment, but that is a step up from Eeyore!!). I think it's pretty funny.
Anyway, I took an exit too early on the freeway coming home, and ended up having to take a rather long detour - about 10 mins. Found my way out eventually, but it can be difficult around freeways because there are several "no turn" places. It occurred to me that I don't think I have ever driven home from the airport, Justin usually drives - I normally drive there, but he gets the train to the airport in the first place, usually from work.
All the car stuff is registered to Justin, so he took the morning to do that - because of the privacy rules, they won't talk to me. Understandable, but crappy nonetheless.
I put Jazmin down at about 5:30 when we got home because she was very tired. It's now 8:15 and I don't think I will bother waking her up - She stuffed herself on chips at Toombul, and her nappy was fine when I put her to bed. Never wake a sleeping baby I say! I have no doubt that she will wake up if she wants something and let me know. She has a very powerful set of lungs, and says "Mummy" VERY clearly!!!
She is teething at the moment, got the two incisors on the bottom coming though - then I think she is only about 1 tooth short of a mouthful! Not that I would dare put my finger in to find out of course!
Everything's been pretty good here. We had the Sunday School Prize night on Saturday which was good. Jaz was grumpy because we were at the shops all day - it took us an hour to get there on the bus (car was in for repairs)...and 20 minutes walk from the station on the way home - which wasn't too bad actually - just a bit further than the IGA I sometimes walk to. I took some photos of prize night, but they didn't come out very well, the lighting was all wrong. I might be able to sharpen them up with editing software before I print them, but it can only do so much.
Sunday was the meeting of course and then we had lunch with Pam and David Kingston at their place afterwards, which was nice. Their dog's name is Jasmine...when I was calling my baby for dinner, the dog came too!
Odie got in Jazmin's dolly pram yesterday and she didn't like that one little bit and tipped him out - he was pretty scared!!
Good days all round :)
