Christmas is apon us..

so just incase I don't get back again before we head off

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL....



Check out my gorgeous chrissy elf...
and this little guy is Jeff... the latest edition to our hutch





Last mon/tue Shane and I went to Sydney with Jamie and Trish to see U2... words cannot explain how incredible it was ... the sound... the stage .... the atmosphere... The mobile phone pic dosent do it justice but check out the size of the stage and screen.



Did a bit of chrissy shopping before the concert and headed over to manly on Tue so Shane could get the next installment on his arm.... all looking a bit sore and bruised here...





and not to be left out I decided to get one too... not quite to Shanes standard but definently enough for me ... anyone who says they don't hurt are lying!!?! How Shane can sit there for 4 hours while Ryan 'cut' into him is beyond me.... I have a new respect for all those heavily tattooed people out there....



I managed to get today off ... so while I've cleaned the kids have spent the day doing science experiments ... lots of water, string, pepper, cans and washing detergent has been sacrificed today....






Slowly catching up on the scrapbooking ... only about 30 layouts to go ... oh and that won't include all the chrissy and holiday shots I'm about to take ... oh well...

Seeing Red

We decided that Regan could have these red foils put in as a bit of Chrissy Cheer and doesn't she love them.... so very grown up ... never fear her father has made it clear that when it's time for school next year they will be changed back to brown.

We took the van on its maiden voyage last weekend... all went well... nothing fell off... we even got our first ever wave from another caravan (made us all laugh)... didn't we feel the part... it was very funny checking out the line up we managed to get behind us on the single lane highways.....





We went to Hat Head... the weather wasn't great, but it didn't rain and we all got to swim both days...









Till later

So very proud

Check out that smile ..... Aaron got his teachers award (everyone gets one) for giving 110% each and every day... and ... received the Encouragement Award for the class.....Well done buddy ... For those that know Aaron you know that this is a huge achievement.

Regan did great as well (pitty my photos weren't so good).. her teachers award was for always asking questions (funny that) in a polite and courteous way.... My boss and I both have kids at the same school so as soon as Regans class was over I headed back to work so she could come and watch her son in year 6 .... however by doing this I missed her getting the Library Award (only 4 given out in the school)..... yes an award for both of them... go kids .....



Yes I'm aware it's December and although I'm not quite organised with the new wreath or the cards I have managed to get the kids to do their Santa letters... and for Christmas this year we want.....





Back soon...

Teachers Pressys

Did much better with the teachers pressies this year (really needed to redeem myself after last years efforts). Am absolutely loving here at the moment....

bought these for Aarons teachers...
(it has a cute apple stamp under it)




and these for Regans.....





This for Nan...



and this for me....



and yes something for you to grandma but you'll have to wait till Chrissy to see what it is.....

Long Flat Pub Run

What a great weekend....











two days away with good friends and lots of fun ... over 600 bikes, two bands, heaps of campers and just a few drinks....the guys thought I was a bit weird taking pics from the back of the bike, but how cool do they look?


Do you remember Tommy??? He was the tiny little Joey we rescued last chrissy..







Well he's all grown up now and making friends throughout the neighbourhood... he loves to come over just on dusk and tease Koda by bouncing around on the other side of the fence..


My beekeepers are multiplying .... apparently you need to 'restock your queens' - who would of known - so this is Shane and Ray looking throught the boxes trying to find the one queen in a swarm... yep ... it took a few hours ...



and how sad is this ... only one layout to show you ... I think im averaging about one a month ... time is just flying by at the moment best I start to get organised.



Thanks for popping by
