Trash or Treasure?

I hate noisy toys. I really hate the sort that make that high pitched squeaky ear piercing sound that they claim to be music. (insert vomiting smilie here) Cant stand them. I avoid them like the plague.

This year the budget was a little tighter than normal due to me still being on maternity leave so I was on the scrounge for toys on the reduced rack. Actually I do that even if we are flush, I love a good bargain. I found one such bargain in one of our major department stores prior to Christmas for my youngest Cooper. It is a ride on car but not just any old ride on car, this one has flashing lights and it plays nursery rhymes. OH NO not electronic nursery rhymes - poke my ears out with a hot stick NOW!!!! But the price, reduce from $69.99 down to $20 less 25% special off all ride on toys for the week. OMG a $70 toy for $15 and the bonus, the oh so joyous bonus...... wait for it........ the sounds dont work. Oh happy day!

Nae-kid...... Why are YOU here?

Well, why are you here? Were you lured here by the provokative sounding name? Or were you dragged here kicking and screaming by a family member?

If you are the former be prepared to be majorly disappointed, the name was devised by my lovely new sister in-law (sil) who is a blog addict and has co-erced me into giving this blog thing a go!

Back to the title and the name of this blog. I have very little creative or artistic talent, cant draw, can paint, cant arrange flowers, cant put food on a plate and make it look enticing..... you get the drift but what I am worst at is word play, my brain is wired to think that way at all so as my sil conned me into this blog I made a deal with her and that was I would blog but she had to name it! LOL, so thanks Deb!

So why Nae-kid? Well for those of you who dont know me my name is Renae and it was the only name I was ever called until I met my hubby to be and he and his family started calling me Nae. So anyway my nickname is Nae and I have 3 kids. Nae-kid..... clever I thought.

So where to from here? I suspect this will be mostly about the kids, they really do say some very funny things and I guess I want to preserve their childish thoughts and sentiments here so they can see them later on in life and I can recall how much fun it is to live with kids.
