I'm a Big Boy!!!
Yesterday was a big day in the Trifectagirl house-hold. I turned 1!!
It was a special day si I woke up at 5:30am (a taste of Christmases to come, maybe??). And crashed about 9am in a massive melt-down.
At least this nap enabled Mummy to finish making all the cakes and sandwiches and fruit skewers for my party and we headed off to the park.
Personally, I found mixing the ice with the dirt was the best bit of the party (and the picture is wonky)!

My Aunty Jenny made me a ladybug cake. I LOOOVE the ladybug on Minuscule.
Mummy made me this tee-shirt, too.
Mummy made me a smash cake. We don't have smash cakes in Australia, but Daddy doesn't like it when my hands are dirty. I wanted a plate.
It was a fun party and I really, really needed to cuddle Big Teddy and sleep afterwards.
Happy Birthday to me!!

Things I've Been Meaning to Do..February
Another month is well underway, so here's what I'm hoping to achieve this month.
1 - get rid of a whole heap of crap (for lack of a better term) in the carport. This has been on the plan for a while, and thankfully Mr Trifectagirl booked a hard rubbish collection from the council. We just need to pull everything together ready to go out tomorrow night. That will be done this weekend with pick-up Tuesday!
2 - Sort our my photo files. Baby J turns one this week (eeek - when did that happen!?!). I need to get them both sorted and backed up. ASAP!!
3 - Once the crap is gone from the carport, sell what is sellable (even if not for very much!!).
4 - prep the veggie garden for winter plantings.

First Steps
About 7pm on January 19, 3 weeks shy of his first birthday, Baby J took his first steps (that mummy and daddy saw).
And basically hasn't stopped!! He often decides that crawling is quicker, but will toddle quite a distance first.
Someone is very pleased with themselves!

Little boys and animals
We have a deal with my father and step-mum - for Christmas they pay for a family zoo membership which gets us into the Adelaide and Monarto Zoos all year. Bonus for us is it's a non-cluttering gift - the membership cards sit in Mr Trifectagirl and I's wallets.
Bonus for the givers is the renewal comes due in August, so it technically spreads out their Christmas expenditure.
Baby J and I went in for an hour this afternoon. He enjoyed being out and about in his trike much more than actually being at the zoo, so it was a pretty quick visit. The advantage of membership - we can go as often as we like!! He's really not gotten the whole concept of animals yet, so he didn't get too excited about the whole experience. Except the giraffs (he could see them from his trike - they're much taller than the fence!) and some monkeys - he likes monkeys since he won a spider-monkey toy at the Zoo Christmas Picnic last year (who Mum has named Cuddles as Baby J always give him cuddles).
We need to get into going in far more frequently - it's an easy way of killing a couple of hours, give him some fun and get some excersise for ourselves!

TIBMTD - December Wrap
I did ok this month, and am really glad I did the number one item!!
1 - De-clutter my bathroom cupboards. There's a whole heap of stuff that can just plain go in there. I also need to do the medicine cupboards and clear out all the out of date stuff. Once I got the cupboard cleared, I found a leak that's done some damage to the cupboard. On the list to be repaired. I also got the master bedroom cleared, and part of the kitchen/dining area - all in all, very productive!
2 - Work on my budget for 2012. This seriously slipped this year, so I want to gain control back. I didn't get to a budget, but I've bought a copy of Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover, which should arrive soon. DH's on board, we just need to get our heads around a system. We're working on cash as much as possible.
3 - Sort out freezer, and maybe try a few crock-pot freezer meals from pinterest. One of our two freezers had a problem with keeping it's door closed, so we lost soooo much meat, plus the two remaining layers of our wedding cake. Very miffede about this. So the freezer sort-out is now a dump (we've been doing it gradually). The crock-meals will progress to January.
Ok, probably not so much of a good month - but tasks got done one way or another!
