Scarves

I love knitting!

Knitting scarves is the most easiest thing.

They boys enjoy seeing me knit or crochet.

They understand it relaxes me.

All 3 of them asked in the last couple of days

if I could knit them a scarf.

So .........

Justin is first.

Green is his favourite colour.

Family fun with the cousins

A rainy Saturday morning 
What do we do?    Drawing?

 

Xbox? 

  Both sound good

Today is .........

Cold

Raining

Some might say its miserable

I LOVE it!!!

A day to be inside and

read a book

watch a movie with family

snuggle down under the quilts and have a little nap

BUT

Don't forget to dance!

Keeping Up A Blog

Can be hard ....... for me.

I find I just get busy with other things in LIFE and then forget that I have a Blog to do haha

I'm going to try to do more. I make that promise to myself all the time. I need to honour it!

I hope to do many posts over the next few months especially as we are entering an EXCITING phase of our life!

Come back for more ;)

What a beautiful day

After the murky weather we've had since Christmas this week has brought the sun out (and the heat).

Today the boys and I set off to Kidzone with some friends. Its sort of like Maze Mania but newer, bigger and better. It even has an indoor jumping castle.

Sorry, I forgot to take my camera so no photos this time.

Enjoyed the company and had some great laughs.

The kids had a ball too :D

My Christmas

I know, I'm late but at least I'm finally here.

My Christmas was absolutely perfect! For the first time we spent the entire day at home with just us 5. It was so good not having to jump up, open presents, get dressed and in the car until late at night. Usually we split between both families.

This year we went down to Gary's parents and uncle on Christmas Eve and had Boxing Day with my side.

Here are my goodies from Gary and the boys. I did so well I think ;)

A hairclip in my favourite colour

A book voucher for $50 (oh yeah!!!) A large box of Ferror Rocher and goodies for my xbox 360.

As I wait for sleep

sitting by the window in my study, listening to the cicadas, I realise just how peaceful midnight can be. No blaring television, no excited children, no cranky just woken up husband (hehehehe). I realise just how tired my body is. Not so my mind. I could go on thinking about anything tonight but my body is having a hard time keeping up with my mind. So I sit and wait for sleep to claim my mind so my body can have rest.

I am so looking forward to art lessons tomorrow. I hope to have a step by step progress report here soon with photos :D

I had a really great day today. We started off by having to go make a layby payment at Maroochydore. Gary & I decided we needed to look for ideas for Connor & Justin for Christmas. The great thing was, normaly Gary will walk around for a 10 minutes and then he's grumpier than a bear and we have to leave, today though we walked through by Target & K-Mart for nearly 2 hrs just looking at things. We did lay-by a scooter and accessories for Cameron so his present is done :D

Then we headed over to Bunnings. I love Bunnings. So much to see and get ideas from :D I bought 4 more paint brushes for class tomorrow.

After that we got some lunch and had a really nice lunch together (with Cameron of course :B) then Gary went to bed (this nightshift is really a drag now after 14 yrs of doing it) and Cam & I just had our together time. Picked Connor up from school and then went and visited with Bonnie, Jono, Alia and Grace for a bit. It is such fun when I get together with Bonnie. We always laugh and its good knowing we can have a deep, thoughtful and intellectual conversation as well. Thank you Bonnie, for giving me back my D&Ms.

I then picked up Justin and the 4 of us went to Kawana so I could have a look around with the boys telling me unawares exactly what they are hoping to get for Christmas hehehehe Now I have some great ideas :p

I want to put my Christmas tree up this weekend so we'll see how that goes.

I should go to bed and read and hope my eyes just close.
