Catching Up

*WARNING* Lots of rambling!!


Wow where does the time go??

Thurs: We picked up Georgia from Kinder at 2pm and decided to go to BigW to fill in time until we had to pick up Ben (it's a bit of a pain) then back up to school at 2:55 to pick Ben up. It was a beautiful autumn day (quite warm really) so we went home and set up the slip and slide for the kids, and the big kid, Jon decided to show em how it's done, so out came the bubble bath and pool flootie thingo and off he went, It was hilarious LOL!! The kids thought it was pretty funny too. We had a BBQ for tea, then a walk around the block before bed.






Fri: Well Jon got a free ticket to the pura cup final from work so he thought he would take Ben to watch it. Ben was very excited about going to the big sports oval, and sitting in the big grand-stand. Ben wanted to keep moving though. He wanted to go higher, and higher LOL!! They didn't stay long, Ben got a bit board after a while and they boys had the game won, so they headed home a bit after lunch. It was another beautiful day and GG (Georgia Grace) wanted to go to the beach. So we headed to the beach, which was nice,there was heaps of shells at the beach so we drew a big face in the sand and went around the lines with shells and Ben found some sticks for his arms and we gave him spiky hair, the kids loved doing this, I wish I had of took the camera. After a while the grey clouds started rolling in, I thought it was going to thunder so we headed back home. Then Jon had to go and help his brother Matt lay some carpet so Ben went along too. They didn't get home till after 7pm By this time I had 2 very hungry and tired kiddies, so we had a quick tea (yummy flat-head) then it was into bed.




Saturday: We picked up Isabelle and took her with us to dancing, it was handy Jon was up so he had the boys while I took the girls to dancing. I got home to a very tidy house ( I am a lucky girl) He had packed up all the toys, vacuumed, and cleaned the kitchen, he also managed to get the boys dressed and feed, isn't he a good daddy :0)


Ben had Sam's party in the arvo, it was a gymnastics party at the sports center. He really enjoyed himself and told me afterwards that he wanted to have his next party there.


We had our good friends Sarah and Michael around for a roast dinner (it was really yummy, even if I do say so myself) they must of enjoyed it to because they wouldn't let me throw the left-over potato's out, so they wrapped them up and took them home LOL!! It was a really fun night, I didn't have to worry about getting the kids to bed early, so the stayed up late and had fun playing with them. I really value their friendship, they don't have kids of their own yet, but they have still managed to stay good friends with us, even though we can't go out as much as we use to because we have children, we have lost contact with a other friends since we have had our kids, but things have never changed with them which is so great. I can't wait till they have kids too, I think they are planing it for next year (yay!!)




Today: It's been a pretty quiet day, not much happening, the kids were drawing outside on the concrete with chalk, and I decided to draw a hopscotch grid(not sure if that's what you call it??) for them to play on, It brought back memories of my primary school days, when you throw a rock (we used a piece of pine bark) and the square it landed on you had to miss it. It kept them quiet for about 30-40 mins.


We went and had a look at a block of land, it's exactly what we want, big, flat, and in a quiet cal-de-sac, the only thing wrong with it is the price:0( It's not fair, Jon is getting very anxious to find a block, and get building and settled into our own home again. I keep telling him to just be patient, that something great will come up soon. But now I'm getting to the stage where I just would like to know what we are doing, and if we at least had a block we could get started with things................hmm, I sure it will happen soon.


Jon back at work tonight, but only for two nights, then two off again.Yippeeee!!


Here is a quick LO I did the other night, not great, but I'm lacking a bit of inspiration, Maybe tomorrow my new goodies might arrive in the post and perk me up a bit:0)




Hope you have a good week:0)

Ange - love your layouts (but then I always do) and how cute are Baby Annabelle's new clothes, you've done such a beautiful job at sewing them.
Gee you've been super duper busy!
