Speeches, mud and love

Regan and some of her friends entered the Taree Eisteddfod for Public Speaking on Sat... so very proud... she worked on her speech for weeks and did very well achieving a encouragement award ... it was all so close with only four points separating her from 1st place..





Mark and his boys popped in on Wed night on their way back home from Brissy, Their pop has given them this old Torana (god I hope that was what it was - sorry if I got the model/make wrong) and they were on a bit of a boys road trip - Great to see them all again....

Check out the muddy sink hole the kids managed to find down the back .... hours of entertainment with a good old mud fight...









I suppose it's way too late now but happy mothers day to all..... we had a great doing nothing day at home....







So which one do you think?



We think we've decided on the bottom one all round and then top right for the alcove around the bedhead..... Denise picked up these materials for her new quilt.... nice. There is a green and lemon set to go in there too.



and yeah I've finished off the LO for Aarons b'day



Til later Leah

Has it been that long again..

I seem to be forever updating this thing.... one day I will catch up and stay there....

Soooo here we go...

The kids marched for Anzac day again this year.... so much to be thankful for.







Of course Easter was thrown in there as well, and this year we decided to dye our own eggs... how cute did they end up?



and on Easter Sunday we headed off to Sydney to see the Titans V Parramatta (both the kids teams so there was going to be tears either way) The Titans were winning all game, right up to the last 26 seconds when Parra converted a try to win.... the crowd was ecstatic - apparently it has been a long time between wins.





He's not actually cheering with them, he has his fingers in his ears.
Can you pick the odd one out?



Shane has spent countless hours in his shed turning it from this...



to this.... not a bad effort I think...



He even let me have the left over peg board ..... will now be finding lots of things to hang.... (for those of you that are looking at this picture and saying to yourself that you thought that the no walls or flooring thing was only temporary over two years ago .... I'm hearing you ... no point rushing into things... right?)



Check out what I found while playing around in my shed.... an unfinished project from 2007 that I had totally forgotten about... all my diary notes are still there along with the photos - guess I'll be trying to finish this in my spare time...



We finished off our holidays with a game of backyard cricket ...... pity we couldn't get rid of the obstacles....





Till next time......
