Its so hard when Damian cant come as I'm only able to go round with one kid and I usually go round with Lilly because she's still at that cheeky age and doesn't listen as well as Joshua does. Lilly’s first event was hurdles, she came 3rd and still got a PB! We really need to work on her starts as she still takes a step back when the gun goes off, she’s not afraid of the gun its just a bad habit she has. She then had 70m sprint, once again she took a step back she came 2nd overall and was oh so close to catching the boy but she did come first out of the girls and yep another PB! We then headed off to vortex which is what they use for the young kids until they are old enough to use the javelin, I was so surprised at how well she threw it this time round, i think buying her one for Christmas has really helped and yep another PB! Her last event for the morning was discus, her technique has really improved and she threw the discus over 4 metres so yep another PB for the week. Josh also did very well, he was a little upset he didn't get any PB’s this week but he ran so well in the 100m sprint and his technique has really improved with discus. We had to head off early so unfortunately Joshua was unable to complete all of his events, we walked home and got ready for Hayden’s Birthday party at Wild Child indoor centre.</p> <p>I dropped the kids off and organized to have someone drop them home as I had to get the house clean for open house inspection. John dropped the kids off me which was a great help and I managed to have the house spotless just in time for all the people to look through, they had 3 families come through and one couple seemed very interested, so much so that they came back for a second inspection an hour later!</p> <p>By the time all that was done and dusted it was 4pm!  I felt so drained for some reason and decided to have a nana nap, I set my alarm as I still had to head out to feed the ponies. I didn't even hear Damian come home and when I finally did wake up it was already 8pm. We decided to cheat and have a take away again which is so unlike us to do more than once a fortnight but seeing as my finger is so sore from cutting it on the glass yesterday and swollen I cant make too many things unless I get help from Damian.</p> <p>While Damian was down the street getting our dinner I got a call to say Sasha was down the beach so off I went to get her, she is really driving us crazy, I don't want to get rid of her as I think its unfair for her to be shuffled from one owner to another but then I'm so worried about her going on the roads as she doesn't have much road sense, so my plan for tomorrow is to place some corrugated iron over the fence she is jumping and hope that it will deter her, however I know she will just find another place to get out ugh!</p> <p>My photo of the day is of my jewellery stand, after cleaning the bathroom today and re-arranging all my goodies on it I thought Id take a pic seeing as Lilly is infatuated by it and every now and then I find a set of earrings in her room so while they are all here and accounted for Id capture it LOL ….</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLRch4vH7944RfTfnxMRlX1i_a9Ry5nWDUD3E0wFPpMn7Uwgq0cpFPCltMNAP2znbZgCBNWUqkYUtx8XKtDHXwMM69645FSEdpofhVwUg5E-h-IEprCyefai_F6F3lIohyphenhyphenfpgHe1lYCaM/s1600-h/IMG_7463%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7463" border="0" alt="IMG_7463" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoopUK3CjUB1kkNBW4pigana0yqCF_w2zVp11-21wsIOYekp7_cg5AqEA1BLx2KRBHvs243vVkMVIIVaHAoreAhDF32mJCkyg2N85pa5x8dDk900Id1BOfZcxCd2_I_-a0bw0uk149pc6U/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-21574164945038609722010-02-12T10:12:00.000+11:002010-02-14T10:14:47.857+11:00Little al is 23<p>Its my brothers birthday today so i called him straight away, poor thing had to work! I had to laugh at a few of his well wishes on facebook especially the one from Amanda, she calls him little Al as he is a replica of my Dad haha. I really wanted to go to gym this morning but I knew the plumber and the handy man were coming back this morning so I opted to stay at home while they were here, I just feel too uncomfortable with people I don't know on the property. The handyman was all done by11am and the plumber had the roof finished just before i had to go and get Lilly. He said he would be back on Monday to finish off sealing a few areas and to keep an eye out for any leaks but hopefully it should be ok, fingers crossed.</p> <p>Lainie and I tested the girls out for our meeting place but they went straight past it and in to the car park, so we are a little worried what Monday will bring, hopefully they will remember to stay put until we are there!</p> <p>Lilly and I came home and chilled at home until we had to head back out and get Josh. It was a back and forth day today as the primary school was putting on a BBQ and we had to head back out yet again!</p> <p>The BBQ went well I was half expecting it to rain as the clouds were so dark but it held out, it was a good meet up however didn't really get to chat to anyone new LOL</p> <p>Damian didn't show up as he had to work late, I got the kids in to bed early as they have a big day tomorrow. I just sat on the computer and had a few quiet beers which is my photo of the day LOL ….</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDQoZIatWCmNSONBlT8NnrYY6kIt07kT79A0ql2tGrXE75csZoje7M4k0BeIiwkDlZWSgh_IvoZ-cNKjQUaSvxJkgrQLhyphenhyphenpVZkyGmajE-U3pBzZhmgyrXvviDkCNZWGlQyF9XOwB91-gcP/s1600-h/IMG_7464%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7464" border="0" alt="IMG_7464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuk_OIKj98JkapM0bYWLV4HwcdUyQg-zFwEQisBTDwvjCckxaihY_Y7KcXilyNNTaqnm2WF3TUgkFCs-efUfnACfJ6zk_E044EsCwzoUxqdSYToKYk4x4iu4KbIgn12SFKAypET7pl6lrb/?imgmax=800" width="324" height="484" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-3854156470408232022010-02-11T23:39:00.000+11:002010-02-13T15:56:44.331+11:00mess is the best … not!<p>I was keen for another session at gym so dropped the kids off early to school and headed straight there. I did another 2 hour circuit and felt full of energy for the rest of the day so i was happy!</p> <p>I received letters from the tribunal in regard to the house repairs and spent the rest of the morning back and forth on the phone to them making sure i was filling the forms out correctly.</p> <p>The plumber came around and dropped off the tin for the roof and said he would be back tomorrow to finish the job off, then to my surprise the handyman came around and knocked down the fernery, I couldn't believe it I had only just finished filling out the final repair claim form and here they all are to fix everything, its such a shame they wait 6 months and then at the very last minute send people in to have it done, however after being on the phone again to the tribunal they suggested I still fill in the forms and have them sent off as it will cover me just in case the repairs are not completed 100% and may not work.</p> <p>I headed off to pick Lilly up and we came home for a rest, she was so tired again and ended up falling straight asleep. I felt awful about waking her up to get josh as she really needed a good sleep. We fed the ponies and headed home, the kids rode their bikes for the afternoon and it was another early night for us all.</p> <p>My photo of the day is of my daughters room, this is on a good day, I get so frustrated that she makes such a mess in her room, she gets one toy out and never puts it away when she decides to play with another, within an hour her room is a complete mess :( …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEictXOJtuKi6ubKjUuOW1Qg6UCQi7zCj46sUskpVwCepLkqmyxFWogbQeh9SzFGDFvglE50tMEfeZ05Fneoq5UqzzH-m8eo3wAayHSxpXJhgVEgj37IiBMPxEszcVrhpI-fLo_8xtFfD7Ni/s1600-h/IMG_7460%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7460" border="0" alt="IMG_7460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3vyaqZ7ABqvwuV505n0P-XpdNNUo6IO06v5JqAK2ojqxEnFFLC-SJXRme0DnuufFAP20Qp1GkSJ8Nr81dvZFMwYPjqZnpSnFkh0hkaV6U9xXtkdVcFcyPnDmZLlpn4sxqg0oA0F9leg4/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-78837445285816388182010-02-10T23:34:00.000+11:002010-02-13T15:39:19.556+11:00kids ahoy<p>Another Wednesday at home with Lilly but we had a busy day ahead! I had to take Lilly to school for her assessment so while she was doing that with her teacher I quickly headed down the street to get petrol, i couldn't believe how busy it was! I made it back just in time.</p> <p>We headed home as Lainie and her kids were coming over for a swim and play. Once the girls were in the pool they didn't want to get out and before I realized it I had to head off to pick up Josh and his friend Riley from school then stop off and pick up Georgia up so they could all play and swim. I quickly stopped in to Safeway and grabbed a bottle of wine and some beer so we could chill out while we watched the kids. We got that hot Lainie and I decided to jump in the pool for a dip.</p> <p>Damian got home around 5pm and he also jumped in the pool, he looked so hot from working all day, the kids were jumping all over him!</p> <p>Dani came to pick up her kids and Lainie decided to head off, seeing as it was such a late night we decided to have take away so i went out to feed the ponies and grabbed some fish n chips. After dinner we were all still so hot so we all jumped back in the pool and didn't get out till well after 9pm, the kids were asleep in no time!</p> <p>I snapped a photo of one our tomato plants as they are all starting to bear fruit and wont be long before I can make my grandmas famous tomato relish yummmm …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiim6UN-TsM4quQcaz2HtQeIHUxUlWY1uSvcN4WT7K25crwGjxymTdAFxpyy9kstvfR1hCMeAVbpYKYTg_KMp1465_Jw8bLTzfV3ENw_Huw1Z-WmalDAkLkWRp81gjpD9cu436iNjSwcKm6/s1600-h/IMG_7458%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7458" border="0" alt="IMG_7458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKNWrCbdKDRc0oRBClj7N4CDyhcMcV-vC-mCRuVIfAiGTTe5s2Y4kf8kK5-Vf4fkPjyEc-BEGRgRZkZSyFzF1tbKIMeW6aXsOE61xU7cQwmn87qBtimPU9aLIBXx5rKJy4qJB1_YMX8YsN/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-33859309781396431372010-02-09T23:01:00.000+11:002010-02-13T15:17:56.228+11:00work it<p>I dropped the kids off nice and early and headed straight to gym.

I also booked in to do a spin class for next Monday, should be interesting!</p> <p>I headed home to clean up and have a rest because as time went on I was feeling more and more drained from the work out I did.

Lilly is up and ready before everyone else but I know this isn't going to last too much longer haha.</p> <p>I came back home and had the place spotlessly clean in no time then took Hunny to her first doggy paddle lesson, she did so very well and I was so mad I didn't take my camera arrgghh! Hunny managed to do 8 laps and she seemed to have enjoyed every minute of it. I only had an hour to relax before heading out to pick Lilly up from school, this is the last week of collecting her early and then next week she will be doing full days. </p> <p>I headed straight to the gym and paid for the rest of my membership and then headed home, it was really starting to heat up so i made sure the pool was clean and ready for when Josh got home.</p> <p>We picked Josh up and fed the ponies. When we got home the kids headed straight for the pool.</p> <p>When Damian got home I got him to put up the mesh over the kitchen window as the sun glare and heat is unbearable when cooking in the kitchen …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNgKEkD5sTfObPpU-bp7QbHYk9KGoDzNr7BsCWldq6NGGcXs6afIQFE0IctFtkKpEdlAlnuc7seuVA79smMP_I6qt19cOF-TcPxSzMpDWQvj-xVyn2FJ8_m31qErg3L7h6Yyq6c3xAq1B/s1600-h/IMG_7454%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7454" border="0" alt="IMG_7454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk8K1ugqijDEvw6nr79sy8gZdzc5PMg90-5Xutth1ehyUUcfDEaRpP6bie6nX7cS8pBICibqaXPWlyeaMxYlafi66Xroc_Z7tbKHB-ZXKt-_HqbkJnDISUCq5-TNPNu9EIiqZ2MHG_vwB6/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-13610957569302764662010-02-07T22:54:00.000+11:002010-02-15T10:54:38.420+11:00unwell angel<p>Had a great sleep in and could've slept longer but Josh was getting dropped off  early so made myself a coffee and caught up on some facebook and emails before he got home.</p> <p>Not too long after Jacinta called and wanted to see if Jacob could come around and show Josh his new bike, so we organized for them all to come over after lunch. I also arranged for her to pick Lilly up from Nicole’s. When I rang Nicole to make sure that was ok she told me that Lilly had been up all night vomiting, not only that but Bella had jumped out of her closet and had hurt both of her arms. Damian headed off to help his Dad set up their vegie patch for the day.</p> <p>Jacinta and the gang rocked up about 1pm and the boys were off riding their bikes and poor Lilly crashed and slept on the couch for a few hours. It didnt take long for the kids to get too hot and they headed for the pool. Jacinta, Craig and I just sat round and gas bagged for the arvo, it was lovely sitting up on the verandah. They headed home about 5pm seeing as the kids had school the next day.</p> <p>I got myself organized and was able to have a quiet night watching movies.</p> <p>I took a photo of our dog Hunny she was so hot today so I let her sleep inside under the fan …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpr3YJ1-IUJRu7R8XSJl8XfjuW-o2wyJgK4hjSPsK1WLJse9ezl43y7V0YRS3dXE7mKRF4X35NZU1lX4m7qI9VZcV2_v8h9KDXyic5Kzrkv5lJXqkblAkIrpye10UxcjEBdi_w6PNUFfUn/s1600-h/2010-02-11%2010-46-04%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010-02-11 10-46-04" border="0" alt="2010-02-11 10-46-04" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qfsRDXF3je2I4qxRNJWwxpqoOuL4bHv1SJJn5qG02qJM04yc6-yKwHbXteltxDlrVvuGYoni1UN5mZp2A71-Wh1waT10-ALHLJOhxPjuEsJHXBb1mGAyhf75ix2j0CmPIiPDGqC-uLtf/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-55843960759558009152010-02-06T23:39:00.000+11:002010-02-11T14:40:10.940+11:00not long now baby<p>Ohh I woke up feeling quite seedy from last night! The kids were meant to go to little aths this morning however I couldn't drag myself out of bed before 9am! I headed straight to Nicole’s to pick up Josh & Lilly but Bella wanted Lilly to stay again, so I told Nicole I would drop off more clothes later that afternoon. While I was there I got a call from one of the Mum’s at school saying it was her son’s bday party today and was wondering if Joshua was coming. Typical me had noted the dates down wrong but let her know he wouldn't miss it for the world and that we would be there soon.</p> <p>Josh & I headed straight home to get him organized for the day and headed to the birthday party, they asked if Josh was allowed to stay the night and of course he said yes! I couldn't believe that we were going to be kid free for the night, we didn't even have any plans so we decided to have a quiet night at home.</p> <p>I then had to race down the street to get items for Amanda’s baby shower as I was making spinach dip and egg sandwiches. I whipped most of it up and Jacinta messaged saying to come down to her place early so we could all go down together.</p> <p>The afternoon was lovely and Amanda got showered with so many beautiful gifts, it was a shame about the wind but overall it was great.</p> <p>I then popped into Nicole's and dropped off Lilly's clothes, headed out to see the ponies then was home for a nice quiet night in ahhh.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3NhZxnd-3mgSyZxSaiH_H_Za0V2179HIqo14ka9-EQIE_O-TTEIJp-HUBgcI0CS5cTypgDN1XPKFcjSrDa5Ij9aszcXEOlOgwFMSR6FQDv34BOJF65FdNZ5IRGF3LwRkIdWXkFUOTMUOU/s1600-h/2010-02-06%2017-17-36%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010-02-06 17-17-36" border="0" alt="2010-02-06 17-17-36" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNbX2RYqJcgT2X7ZKo72QR9vIjAlRh0XIbQFjBz1VeliAZ_9rFnoJUgwhCcbNoSf33TmRNGZHlfApSNJmNXYZ1YrZOsidVRkc-4rkgjL8SMgEjjjtooCp9fF_DRVcoByODu2R6PYpM3ekb/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="332" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-77075464893832378532010-02-05T23:16:00.000+11:002010-02-11T14:28:46.680+11:00friday night fun<p>The day dragged on today as all I could keep thinking about was going out on the town with my friends and going to see Munster Terrace at my fav hang out … The <a href="http://www.theretronomelounge.com/" target="_blank">Retronome</a> Lounge</p> <p>We got the kids organized to stay at their aunty Nikki’s as Damian kept changing his mind about coming out with us and at the last minute decided he would. So he dropped the kids off. He also had made us all his famous lamb shanks and ohhh they were so delicious!</p> <p>We all headed down to the <a href="http://www.theretronomelounge.com/" target="_blank">Retronome</a>  and were so surprised by how busy it was. We soon learnt that there was a 21st party there and it really made the place come alive, the band was amazing and they are just as good as when I use to see them as a teen.</p> <p>We had so much fun and couldn't believe how soon it was all over, last drinks were called just before 1am and before we knew it we were heading out to the car. Jeannie, Vjollca and I still wanted to party so we got Damian to drive us to the Rosebud pub, luckily we didn't get in as we were all pretty drunk and if we had’ve kept going I'm sure we would have really regretted it the next day!</p> <p>We then dropped Jacinta and Craig off at home and had a quit chat before heading off to get the kids, we were knocking on the door and windows of Nicole's house but no one would answer so we headed home for bed.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRcRHv0DuQHR29MQxavmBFWh2f9daaxun2rFby-gZeR3V22Vdk5gh2M9T1QS5JvGSuRZrkF8dFzymnpBaMuQ3NZYueE3IMPDJQjyl2gdu90UiF10XGebK1z3sBFMH2hln4UmP1TN2fz4gN/s1600-h/2010-02-05%2021-25-04%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010-02-05 21-25-04" border="0" alt="2010-02-05 21-25-04" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXFn_pGbps5nGY3y97TVGqDX5w1Cw64oQidgZGBQzTHq3bMTyPvjy_Hj2K_yiGoG95aQp0Dmq83WsNwUlkvWg8pplnL2jGQmaYKtruSloC2yG6XXunMBeISPk0L46i1uH4AWJz_PJ3J2d/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="330" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-55593566015169728552010-02-04T23:15:00.000+11:002010-02-11T14:15:32.298+11:00Dancing girls<p>Another day of school for the kids which gave me a chance to catch up on the house work and emails etc.</p> <p>Lillian was super excited when I picked her up from school as she had her first dancing lesson tonight and she was going to be able to see one her friends from kinder.</p> <p>The dance class started at 4.30 and they were oh so cute learning the dance moves and putting it all together.</p> <p>I snapped a pic of Lillian and Bella …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkk7wF2BLCH2PiDWQBO3ObtORmrthkkm0Buw68Q_es3lBPIUbYTxdn4oKme2vi_ojhzrAckjKrGBP2CSaxC7sG8sfhqzA3cHvnCwUoxlaGH0i98glGcXxu_StySrhSUwkrEHsTCkLf1a1I/s1600-h/2010-02-04%2016-33-16%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010-02-04 16-33-16" border="0" alt="2010-02-04 16-33-16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipUuIt5yK-OXi8hVjzKKvBCXrEH9ClRbF8_S_NUesB7emVClXHE4rD37cLPPDa5w710lk3KXQ80wWi5L2XRdpbgfo_RXD1CZtzTQFnkpa9Kyb2zQU408FRRPVnHoS47uPm5x37ih7AYjYs/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="360" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-57258417661836368492010-02-03T23:25:00.000+11:002010-02-11T12:46:09.604+11:00i want to go to school<p>Lilly has Wednesdays off for the first month at school while the teachers grade and asses the kids, we have our interview next week so I'm looking forward to seeing what Miss.

Lilly was not impressed at all that she wasn't going to school and even got quite upset :( Josh was ready to go today and we were at school by 8.20am.</p> <p>Lilly and I came home and prepared for another hot day.

I also made a roast potato bake with tomatoes. Damian made a nectarine tart oh it was just perfect to finish off our meal.</p> <p>I took this photo of the painted horse shoe I have out the front of our house today …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLOUu0M4C3lyYYDjPigRGiGunnZ-oSr2KrIgEu3M9x_ZMl1pYtrJjms8R1yeDg5IUhY3G15JCd2VOdhae5_MpVYuMdpDrRxyOBWoKBYcOr2Tsh5h-HkfcVnyyNusLzWRnV6_ffkHwTIMVy/s1600-h/IMG_7459%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7459" border="0" alt="IMG_7459" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR9TE2Jptr8C-M0co4huY-UNJSdv9HcENf6GSPnm4hVT4mKYAl_VuHMiGQvc3AloqcFZ_WW0VpWY9F8K9FzNaxIm1PI_FtVyDgJ1rlUxsgpwt5unqoRTJbpeb4LJMBm2BMy4D4UVDAxZqQ/?imgmax=800" width="324" height="484" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-34274962871783279712010-02-02T11:43:00.000+11:002010-02-11T12:43:49.791+11:00mmm choc cake<p>Lilly woke up feeling fine and ready for school, I was concerned about letting her go but she got upset when I said I think she should stay home.

Damian told me that I slept through my alarm and I didn't get up until Jacinta and crew got here. We sat and chatted while the kids played in the pool. Damian then proceeds to tell me we have to go to his parents place  for Hayden’s and his Mum’s birthday. It was a rush from then on, Jacinta and crew headed home, we went out to feed ponies and were only 10mins late. We got to sing happy birthday and got to eat yummy cake, chatted to everyone for a good hour and then made our way home.</p> <p>My photo for the day is of the strawberries we gathered from our garden today and they were ever so yummy and sweet! …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FuB9vuMTyL-NB5efjsCsh9ZAoQLFeAHz1E7tNx4A0r5tunn7XDQBL_9MsmzDoU1PzahNc1fGGyHIqWN7PqgLHW3mUoo2bcve5Muk2vx2c-74N70FLAYH5pRtf5A30VCpRhx7-Oa8WAw1/s1600-h/2010-02-06%2012-48-24%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010-02-06 12-48-24" border="0" alt="2010-02-06 12-48-24" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01abrIoQUnRh2B7qjJxwCPkjd0QN6VahTRaRBNubw1vCF19I1Lv4tVk11A7l76vtRxaXryvCYXTgV7mOBwqiZ1Z1lB1Ne-TKPinAzP_QdSfVRMvWoALnlRR1nWjRO56xFLeFzTv4XUSpU/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-85763621878717667192010-02-01T11:09:00.000+11:002010-02-11T12:41:35.142+11:00glorious food<p>The kids are super excited about going back to school today, especially Lilly as its her very first day at school! She was up just after 6am tapping me on the shoulder saying come on Mum I have to get ready for school. Josh was really looking forward to being back in the same class as Toby, Sam and Jake. I was fully ready and organized until i get a phone call saying that someone has found our dog Sasha so I quickly bolted down to Rye to get her however I could not find the house and got totally confused. I headed home to find Mum, Nana and Ron there waiting for me, I was now behind and panicked we were going to be late but we got there just in time. Lilly walked straight in as if it were no different than yesterday and with a huge smile on her face I knew she was going to be fine and she was going to love it. She had a lot of kids in her class that she knew, Ryllie, Georgia, Tessa and Pakin so settling in should make it easier having some friends around. I didn't get upset but did feel so very proud of my little girl. I said my goodbyes to Mum, Nana and Ron and headed off to Jacinta’s.</p> <p>Jacinta and I headed to Sorrento to have breakfast at <a href="http://www.buckleyschance.net.au/" target="_blank">Buckley’s Chance</a>, its by far the best Pancake Parlour their food is divine. Jacinta ordered us the biggest breakfast ever and we both struggled to finish it but ohhh my it was good, and again I didn't get a photo of it ugh! We headed back to my place to go through my aquarium books as Jacinta is thinking of setting one up for Craig for his upcoming birthday.</p> <p>I squeezed in an hour of cleaning and then headed off to get Lilly from school. I got to meet a few Mum’s while I was waiting and one seems just lovely, she has horses so instantly there was a talking point LOL</p> <p>We headed home to relax and clean some more before I had to pick up Josh, they had a swim in the pool and then bang Lilly was on the couch complaining of a sore tummy, she was so agitated and then it happened the uncontrollable vomiting, boy oh boy was she sick. After an hour she had a wash and then a little drink of water, she fell asleep on the couch. Within 10mins Josh gets up and yep more uncontrollable vomiting. It took quite some time for Josh to go to sleep but he slept soundly which is just what he needed. Lilly however woke up about 3am and was bright as a  button, she was even hungry so I gave her some toast and she headed straight back to sleep, finally I was able to get some much needed rest.</p> <p>Here are a few of the photos I took today …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAVCzAYxISjbKmDeA2uoETa2TTJUnlU-wjhepRImqAsmR6vwiifv8d59_9GbRq7b97nXyeMf5pbPk7IOb4IAfMRDzA6OmvYn6bOtexDGJ9zoTvNYrCG9umADpl-4uET7MJ8FJFUHYBTMKy/s1600-h/201002011336196.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2010-02-01 13-36-19" border="0" alt="2010-02-01 13-36-19" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvViC9slGVpYFRSMet_MG3OFS2XKVsHRaiAV0zgxEfrCS4nNcyk31hUY5baqS9Ksg8m0ytfh8mY0aCAzT58jPx5d0tOxdebljtKSFrYo51kP3eQfTdiI_zWGvluqmS3urm1-R0jZ2KvfJ9/?imgmax=800" width="239" height="356" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfSHdFJwb-NtsFgC_l1HGdR9t-6FetGeIkGRFri2HY61BcBA0uTo4-Pe1zftvQj_uuFbi8oJ1NfyEKmKmkRTAySUsfhQTINstxyDvxrptoGof7Y1C90rfDIAWHMOdnEprzl1uzGst5rdew/s1600-h/201002011337405.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2010-02-01 13-37-40" border="0" alt="2010-02-01 13-37-40" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiApXQyF5_YCE4RnyQxd1mQSYWTYtbzZBo5FIpi1GUdHuiCDW0_KfWPfr-UjlKDh4TdmdtRzEHk4R4cyCBjuj6EGSmSWpNm9sSZ93LVAgkbbMaENCmcQp4zr3Y38Ny-jtgmXvT0lK9eOPxi/?imgmax=800" width="239" height="356" /></a> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVsTNeDl-HXqImHCXpQbHkn1uGNhE1UQp7QoMtJ1JpKNg8TbCzkep5v10FEbD4orV67n6fjggW85_l6_baR-ekm6gk8zG6Tx6wgRGXBdF_jtIS_k3w7a4EOxvn9X86iEbKsF1SAHbxpO-E/s1600-h/201002011337593.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2010-02-01 13-37-59" border="0" alt="2010-02-01 13-37-59" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWqkkqojyscydvw93LJ-0hLYrmz1LHvDkANj_1kMiBZXFCiFKfvrS9ttq6vJcYG3D8dbP92YgyQPNN86d6eyipI6F2n9VkKaihoPlNq3b9cmw7XzxAZq5n7y7mZhirYBZsDmMGlshUZsFp/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfPokhdiH1jifieAfKWrY7ra2lzKPqKAvcXJ2mKiG_xaV3ue-jJlqiNvoDuroPTXBCgzAkfpT5FZxdIuxT5Wgd2NaeWHMJcWRA_KN-IU-MG0-rwT8mNLu9maMDLyxwdd2IWFCv5AKIp-qX/s1600-h/201002010855443.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2010-02-01 08-55-44" border="0" alt="2010-02-01 08-55-44" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgelPUIatISdh93vR-coCAWkam6Yx1qEbi7INbmBoAyrfUIk6ElOkDC3lT_wIRdfVxdWITqRB-OMC4_X4S9YHeIs0GsXcN3NvZe9c4DIBTVhHphaW8dZyuDBoh92cOtM8lOLsW_NIs4z2y2/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-32279339134664914822010-01-31T22:54:00.000+11:002010-02-11T12:39:13.590+11:00one of those days<p>I was so tired when I woke up, last night really drained me and whats worse is that I have a huge 2hr drive in front of me ugh!</p> <p>Once I got to school’s prac day i was so glad I pushed myself through the horrid morning. I learnt so much again today, I got to work on a 4yo mare standard bred, she was a real sweetie. We only got to do a 20min massage each side due to the heat as it wouldn't be fair to the horse if we got them too hot etc. I was shown how to do leg stretches and wow it was awesome to learn how to do it properly, usually I'm so nervous at the back legs of a horse I don't really know and here I am up close holding that back leg and hoof with ease, the whole day was super and it really gave me that extra push I needed to make me realize that yes I really want to do this course and do well, at times when there is a such a gap between classes I feel that the interest wears off slightly so I'm wrapped I'm this excited all over again about this course.</p> <p>We got to finish early seeing as it was only getting hotter and the flies were unbearable. I called Damian to see how the house inspection went and he said they were in and out within 10mins. When I got into Frankston the car started to play up, it felt as though the petrol wasn't getting through. By the time I got through the many intersections it stalled right on the Heatherhill road intersection and I just rolled up on to the median strip. I called Damian and he said to tap the fuel container under the car, then let it cool and try again, after 15mins the car started up and I headed off I only got 500m down the road and the car stalled again, there was no charge in the battery so I told Damian to come and get me. It didn't take too long for the cool change to come through, we got rain and all and was a nice relief. Damian and Craig jumped the car and they followed me back to Jacinta’s. They are so good to us, she watched Josh and had a cold beer waiting for us when we got there.</p> <p>We headed off to get Lilly from Nana Junes and then out to feed the ponies, we had a cheats dinner of charcoal chicken and chips, kids hopped into bed and I sighed ‘thank goodness that day is over!’</p> <p>I snapped a pic of Lillian’s pony ‘Prince’ He is the easiest horse to photograph and well he’s such a pretty boy so its also fun to do …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELUmIM7-b5LcYbD8kvE1bL8ZsFnAFliBw4mQRiU2pbkR9Xv0on-00rzojDPXcLIxPHy3Pm-h-XQKLCD6ajLHGyODPxbPwbifPjr24eVooMfl2uT69JwfAX93F5NVc-WyVOi3-T4zW8LCo/s1600-h/2010-02-06%2018-20-14%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010-02-06 18-20-14" border="0" alt="2010-02-06 18-20-14" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz_tNtxeejtXaHxH2Ljkc_CkmVG75UtJeQaNbQuLrQYKPA40WxieNYEcbLgbf5JxD62uuj1n2ePck0iCoh-_RWMUdkN7TaW61os4XHup3dALodFT-CuKpz1Et3KAh0-CeFUa4ci3fcpSf3/?imgmax=800" width="324" height="484" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-90809693241939637582010-01-29T22:54:00.000+11:002010-02-11T11:29:17.114+11:00home sweet home?<p>I spent the morning writing up letters to the real estate and consumer affairs about the state of this house. It seems that I'm entitled to a rent reduction and some form of compensation which would be nice especially after all the trouble I've had to deal with around here ugh! :(</p> <p>Lilly and I walked down to the Real Estate and handed in the forms, I hate to have to go round it this way but I've waited long enough so it had to be done. I was actually really impressed by the Real Estate’s reaction, they were understanding and very good about it all, I just hope it stays this way!</p> <p>I was contemplating whether or not to go out with the girls but I was super keen for school this weekend so opted to stay home. Seeing as I was being such a good girl I decided to have some scrapping time and came up with this for the January Jumpstart Challenge over at <a href="http://www.scrapgirls.com" target="_blank">Scrap Girls</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=96912"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2010_01_29_001" border="0" alt="2010_01_29_001" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQpEbNEV6UJAXuUCenTTpqmwLmL_l79i8LVWNAlzXkFlbMJHg2lFn5f0s9h3VHrLELuJRPLmC9HVWUPL7Qxb7BVdmmrN43bhNZ8Vi3457ncs24uZNybdBB8fda04fSvHyRd-jMhztWPfGN/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="484" /></a> </p> <p>I did get some late night text messages from both Jacinta and Bec, they gave me a good laugh before I headed to bed.</p> <p>My photo for the day is of the front of the house we are renting, I have a feeling that with everything that is going to happen from here on in isn't going to be good and we may not be here for much longer :( …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8WfQHloQGhIvJcouYBCJAFzwabzxpNJCMX9xt7W2Nor5SgdnJwUGv3MzuU_eMwyPdHn6rgNQ-10S9EQwZV7-8lwHRStpaTC0qHisy9zVWOo-q2v96caxXyyF1qV5cn_v0zK5N8Lhv1fX/s1600-h/IMG_7456%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7456" border="0" alt="IMG_7456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj868IzXBhFgrHANa32jbrbBhmGnMhx6-LtStIIiHYiYOHDpUhdL2wOsvILI9LxpGO3AErz8JIIKBrGJnU5DMnwW9VEwpluP_h_0pobEsw_rssaGvdB0l0vqRpZbbgMf7zLX5a4jZ9B9rSz/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-57439001174332725902010-01-28T22:31:00.000+11:002010-02-11T10:35:31.836+11:00pranks<p>A day of getting organized for us, as I've got school this weekend and the kids are back to school Monday.</p> <p>I did however manage to get a layout done.

We headed out to their school first and picked up the lay-by with their school goodies, I was so peeved that the school bags were not in stock, they have been on order since last year but apparently have been stuck at the docking yards for weeks ugh! We bumped into Lilly’s teacher for the year and she was so excited to see her, Miss. M is just so lovely and she took Lilly into her class room and showed her around, the smile on Lilly’s face was from ear to ear, I still cant get over how lucky we are to have such a wonderful teacher for the year.</p> <p>We then headed to the plaza and Josh was able to finally look at Lego and games for his play station. I was very impressed by the way he spent his money he had over $120 and bought a car racing play station game and also a huge Lego city pack. I also remembered to get Lainie’s birthday present and got her a swirly charm for her Pandora, I was also sneaky and bought myself a horse charm as I'm determined to get it filled up by the end of the year.</p> <p>We then made our way to Mornington so I could take the kids to a shoe factory outlet and get them some new school shoes. Lilly got an adorable pair of Mary janes and Josh got his usual suede skate runners. It cost $60 for the both of them which works out to half the price I would pay at a normal shoe shop so i was pretty happy with that bargain.</p> <p>We stopped into Stock feed’s so I could grab the ponies some more food and we finally made our way home.</p> <p>Josh headed straight for his play station while Lilly pranced around the house in her new school shoes which I thought was a good idea as I want the shoes to soften up so that she doesn't get blisters.</p> <p>Damian had spent the afternoon cleaning his car and it was spotless and I got to take it out to the paddock as Lilly and I still had a big job of cleaning up the ponies mess. It was the first thing Damian asked me when I got home - ‘My car is still clean isn't it?’</p> <p>Lilly was extremely restless for the rest of the night and refused to go to bed she was over tired and very moody. By 10pm we managed to get her into bed and she was asleep within 5 minutes.</p> <p>My photo for the day is of our cat Mishca, she is a Birman and ever so cute! …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrpwB6t01vcXcZC63PNMXSGhiIRnmXUeqm2JHocBp3h3P2Wcuf_9Eow3Uu7Q_Fi3M4wvFen5N_svTFmC2PemT9HcZVCOR8eybjnUx_e_7ZUDqqngem9PKPBoAIYPUcghdFqIpot4ZTTz9X/s1600-h/IMG_7382%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7382" border="0" alt="IMG_7382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE7aQqbs0V38_FdD30P-QNVGJFTtZcCbaNjfn5Mn8LMGBAC1BdYUPyVRA7c3Pl2RpW9gwuWPhayPMGozCXv9rkZkVFFMyjWCElvphK3j48pnMiU9gitAdw0lXUOoXu_3GLr4DA4Dm9EPQT/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-9597518410306559192010-01-26T22:58:00.000+11:002010-01-28T11:01:07.957+11:00aussie aussie<p>Its a public holiday around Australia so that we all get to relax and enjoy the day and celebrate everything that is wonderful about Australia.</p> <p>It would have to be the first time in as long as I can remember that we haven't gone out to celebrate we decided after the big day and night that we had for Joshua's birthday that we would take the opportunity and spend the day together. </p> <p>It was very frustrating for Josh on the other hand as he couldn't understand why all the shops would be closed and why he couldn't go down the street to shop for new toys or games that he got with his birthday money.</p> <p>I decided to get out in the garden and harvest as much fruit as I could before it all over ripens as i want to make some jams and sauces. I only harvested 2 branches from the plum tree and my basket was so full and heavy that I decided that was enough for  the day, I also harvested some more nectarines and apples. Some of the apples weren't all that flash but they were too good to throw away so Lilly and I bagged them up and thought they were be perfect for our ponies.</p> <p>Lilly and I headed out to see our ponies and clean their paddock, I was worried about taking Lilly out to help clean as she usually lasts half an hour and then wants to go home but I was so proud of how hard she worked, oh and the ponies loved their apples!</p> <p>My photo of the day is of my son josh in his Aussie hat that his Nana and Ronpa gave him …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6CJsJO5XC9mNN2Hs_3WFWc2mVABbHK5xCoGHd2LrSHWd51Acg9NN8IWkCScgishmqlR6uHrwA9t_NLEYzBYBUB2sWPQALwhRS9J53MoiHRsA0LWGQdFbenWyfKPWU7PSOP6RokzHoTFGy/s1600-h/IMG_7390%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7390" border="0" alt="IMG_7390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMh9LDD_xPodGXnPada0b5oWn6Tlm2iM4wx8epIn17WnOmGXp6sKExOpk0owdMDolCTV6UYmfXdGxiUBG2O5PLen8TXZbBSPE395AGTZvUW9V-RD2_WwEC97bkiWrInllltCrdbUqjp_9f/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a> </p> <p>Oh and I forgot to post my photo for Sunday, its of my cookery book, I have had this since I was at school and has served me very well.

He is growing up so much and I'm ever so proud to be called his mum!</p> <p>He had a tonne of phone calls all day and was quite happy to ride his bike and play with his sister for most of the morning, that was until he got a call from his mate Toby. He wanted to come around for a play and within no time at all he was here. The boys kept themselves occupied while Lilly and I started to get organized for the mini party we were having that evening. We did a quick shop at the supermarket and then made a start on the most important thing for the evening … the birthday cake! Joshua wanted chocolate of course and I decided to make my no fail milk choc mud cake. It took over 2 hours and I was so worried it wouldn't cool in time so we cheated and popped it into the fridge. I then made a start on making my favourite crispy Thai salad and then spruced up the shed ready for everyone to arrive.</p> <p>Toby’s dad came to pick him up and then I made my way out to feed the ponies and grab a few things down the street which I forgot to grab when shopping earlier in the day.</p> <p>Jacinta and family were the first to arrive as we had invited them to dinner but seeing as Damian was late getting the dinner ready we had to serve it while everyone was here. I was really happy as pretty much everyone turned up except of course for my Dad but that's a long story, my sister was late as her son Kai wasn't feeling all that well and was getting dropped off later. We held out until he got there so he wouldn't miss out on singing happy birthday to Josh. Here are some of the pics …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju-lhxuE6CpETqbORU-HS0RsNTbbMXvhJiJ7wXeAtS6xENu6U00FzH_lE7RlLaNjE25fldTVP7n9vp7eo1jFvS1UG8DKDqGIxDuC05YvNxL25AMMcj-Ou3dCbvpMlh6pk6kAcEZhI6WvQB/s1600-h/IMG_7362%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7362" border="0" alt="IMG_7362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPgFi5qNWKJKVQPrwRF5Kh2RrzjTaMythEuJtG05jqzZOqBlq6pA4Owl7gI8u1c0xime8jBYdj6swTV0RHkcAEbjO4flLH2jmMxXRp-eg7OUGnOimNjo_8WzJ5BStehIUNUoLAvh9lAfLI/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjopRjK4DUzAybslVBj1pZ0vL48TAxdeb0oIjlgqgcyt02FVrHiD_paFxrQo5NIN5pILEPnmHelRY7mJWFsuG3k4W23lkInNs9sDDM-0GLBD-u9QIZf4hxnEiwhR31fHizqkjDNKu7d247/s1600-h/IMG_7365%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7365" border="0" alt="IMG_7365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKQMZ2H_gUWITOBGCQzA3lvX7oEpsu6FLQVCXcW2RQsCMkn7AFHTAWyNZ_CU40HK_NXoSJOwRT3wxpWx6doE81jZspESCHqRUHVE4nYSSuObPP5-7cCXpaJJehirRSB66pNFZDJpZlf9TH/?imgmax=800" width="398" height="484" /></a> </p> <p>Jacinta, Craig and kids stayed for a few hours after everyone left and we had a few drinks and chatted away, they are such great company and I'm ever so lucky to have re-kindled my friendship with her as she is a one in a million kind of friend!</p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-33116533828619613622010-01-24T22:48:00.000+11:002010-01-27T22:51:14.213+11:00a bit ewww<p>I woke up after 11am which was needed after the night I had and pretty much lazed about on the couch all day watching movies.</p> <p>I was meant to be going out again tonight with Jeannie but I knew there was no way I could do four nights in a row, I sent her a text seeing if she was still keen to go out and thankfully she wasn't in partying mode either.</p> <p>I did take a photo for the day but seeing as I have been super lazy I haven't even taken it off my camera but will add it to tomorrows post :)</p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-80622200345438717362010-01-23T23:15:00.000+11:002010-01-27T19:16:29.323+11:00open your eyes<p>Well the title says it all I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. I was so tired from staying up so late at Jacinta’s so I decided to get as much sleep as I could seeing as I was going to be having another huge night tonight.</p> <p>I stumbled across a blog that shows you had to do a myriad of hair designs for little girls so I decided today was the day to put it to use and show Lilly why she should keep her hair long. She keeps telling me she wants to get her hair cut but after growing it for so long I'm hesitant on having it chopped off. Her explanation is ‘Its ok Mum it WILL grow back’ very true I know but I thought after a super cool hair do she may just change her mind.

I didn't get back in time and Damian had to take Bec and Nicole round to the hens party while I dashed inside to get ready. Damian then dropped me off at 6.30 so I was still early. I was devastated I didn't take my camera as there were so many photo opportunities but Bec didn't fail us and brought hers. We had a good choice of cocktails to drink, my fav was Delusion which consisted of Melon liqueur, triple sec and pineapple juice, also had a few fruit tingles, Summer Hummers and some a shots. We were served by a young topless waiter and by 11.30pm you could say that we were well and truly amped for a huge night. We organized rides to the Conti hotel and partied the night away. It was a super night until one of the young girls started on one of Bec’s friends and it ended awfully, I called Damian and he came to the rescue to pick us up, apart from that mishap it was a fantastic night.</p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-80924555389466206642010-01-22T23:14:00.000+11:002010-01-27T17:25:27.219+11:00just might happen<p>The people who put in an offer on the house we are renting are meant to be coming today to have a final inspection, I wanted the place to be spotless because if they are to be my new landlords then I want to make a good impression! So I fussed over the house for most of the morning. I was meant to go and watch Jeannie’s dog Simba in her doggy paddle class but Jacinta messaged and said she was popping in for a cuppa. I heard the dogs barking outside and a few beeps of a horn and when I looked outside to see who it was I got a shock to see Jacinta riding on a scooter …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE4JrdChJb9hCPmmZFgG2ITqFfzrBpYeA80-xkoZTN2OuV7wvkCgG3lAw2f1Xm0_R_7onzQ6Hj5RC3zCYPn4GFdl0hdFKZHLiXPGa9I2_s9OyPJmwYdb37DsGp67f9HoRiOiyijbOZ29Zf/s1600-h/IMG_73553.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_7355" border="0" alt="IMG_7355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM2LrBB6EHWi_BL1oY3J6AwX5ku3tfcPcUlLMjStg7BsZFm_JzMLfOg6fmHm_VoxSVBjrY7xgSmpObJXtBZ_BnuN5xzibppr4NoylhI7Snza_yj9VNE6XHWNMMRenC5xwEuZRJHCOzO0PM/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="324" /></a> </p> <p>The Real Estate and possible new owners turned up around 3pm they stayed for a good hour and asked loads of questions, I felt in some ways bad reeling off all the down sides to the house but if it was me buying a property I would not want to buy such an expensive investment and not know the good and the bad. They seemed like lovely people and I secretly wished they would buy so that this whole annoying experience of having drive bys and people coming through the house over and done with.</p> <p>Jacinta, Craig & kids turned up while Damian took Lilly to Nicole’s. We got ourselves ready and headed to Retro. We were told the last time we were there that we would be able to bring the kids in so that they could see the band play but we would not be able to stay for long, there was a bit of confusion at the door and it looked like we would have to go home but after the band members came out to see us they remembered who we were and said that it should be fine if we were to only stay for a few songs. The kids loved it and it was amazing to see the look on their faces when they heard a real band belt out some fantastic tunes, we stayed for nearly an hour. Jacinta said to head back to their place for a few more drinks so we stopped at home to get Josh his scooter and a change of clothes as he was going to stay the night there and also picked Lilly up from Nicole’s.</p> <p>We ended up having such a great night, we chatted all night long and before we knew it was 3.30am and we had to head off.</p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-18311399372243481192010-01-21T23:13:00.000+11:002010-01-27T00:48:10.343+11:00go retro<p>Joshua and Lillian were both meant to go to child care today, the kids rode their bikes there while I walked Sasha. It was water play day and when we arrived Joshua asked if he was allowed to ride his bike while the other kids played water games when the carer explained that it wouldn't be fair he instantly turned into one of his moods and told me he didn't want to stay so I double checked with Lilly and she was keen to stay so we headed off.</p> <p>I pretty much cleaned the house, fluttered around on the computer and then got ready for my job interview.</p> <p>I headed off to Bunning’s as the interview was to start at 3.30pm I have to admit I was quite nervous but was determined not to get my hopes up too much. The interview went really well. There were 9 applicants in the room and we went through a screening process which is they have 2 observers that note everything down and one person conduct the interview. I thought I handled myself pretty well and the hour flew by so quickly. I headed home feeling quite happy and positive and was looking forward to my next email from them.</p> <p>When Damian got home from work he told me he had already got Josh’s birthday present, we decided to get him a razor pro scooter, we knew he would love it and then that's his outdoor toys pretty much done. We discussed giving it to him early so that he will get some good use out of it before school goes back so we went and asked Josh what he thought. Of course he wanted it early and we were wrapped when we saw the look on his face it confirmed we had done the right thing.</p> <p>I managed to finish off another LO which was for another challenge at <a href="http://www.scrapgirls.com" target="_blank">scrap girls</a> called the first and last challenge, you had to use an item from the first and last scrap kit you purchased from SG.

When it hit 10pm Jeannie got the urge to hit the town so we decided to go to Retro. Jeannie loved the set up there but the band was a little slow and the place wasn't that busy so it closed up at 11.30pm we were shattered so decided to walk down to rye pub and see if they were still open. No luck there either so we opted for the pokie area as that had the only bar open we only had 2 drinks and decided to head home.</p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97268158667018745.post-56085199911887976272010-01-20T23:11:00.000+11:002010-01-27T17:18:26.127+11:00scrap with black<p>Another day at home today, its been nice to have a few days at home with the kids and relax.

Kai and Aaleaya were so excited that their Mum was finally coming home and kept checking out the window every 5 mins to see if she was here, the minute they didn't look she turned up! Both kids bolted outside yelling ‘Mummy, mummy is here!’ It was so cute as they ran up to her for big cuddles. We chatted for a bit and they headed home to spend some quality time together.</p> <p>The kids and I chilled for the day, they mainly watched movies then played outside on their bikes which gave me some time to sneak in another LO for the <a href="http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.php?showforum=218" target="_blank">Project SG Challenge</a> …</p> <p><a href="http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=95822"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2010_01_19_001" border="0" alt="2010_01_19_001" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYcadVvJ346ZvbXi7EyPFuiUClYNk5jiY9Rs-Lr4doCI2EngJ4BynWqDqG0NBiglx00OPKX5kAMtkcNXm-ofr5CpdpDtZEV9LIdNUlILgXkDNCCNdRr66zZmirYQch3LOZU_30a15SSOLa/?imgmax=800" width="484" height="484" /></a> </p> <p>I also started on the next page and hope to have that finished tomorrow :)</p> <p>My photo for the day is of my coffee machine that Damian bought me for Christmas, seeing as I've been lazy all day I've consumed way too many of these delicious cappuccinos …</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRDnHuwh9zAet75prxNQYAvoV68IjUAEhzS-dB9wek65yaQxrjeMdqpXVbtcwiSCN0cgdkeNUcHZVkqsu36yKDor-u18gJWWQkh7uB02bC4BcBQADrOf75FxKKmJQZ1hQb9P5ZpZXpLor/s1600-h/IMG_7367%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_7367" border="0" alt="IMG_7367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6OehEeuYzMdeM22DfTZxGlcLsYpXEo-kOKlLUBVF7dZ9InXaehb6Ao7F-nuFGEFYQYrz2bV3TsgR3oWdEkGDYLbZYBHM2Bfp8VgPusWQ4bPCMXlS-aqyKCJP3q2E6AaIeMwFyAPwZZzn/?imgmax=800" width="322" height="484" /></a></p> Kellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601495761575909007noreply@blogger.com0
