I just can't believe that another year is gone. The older I get the quicker the years go. Christmas is over and done with. I didn't take one single photo. How freaky is that? We are back from our holiday to the beach. We had a great time. Well most of the time. It was hard at times being cooped up in such a small place with so many children. LOL.
Bailey and Hamish particularly were in their element. Making friends with all the other kids and running around the caravan park searching for rabbits. Only coming in when it was nighttime. They had an absolute ball. They are exactly the right age to take camping. Charli on the other hand kept wandering off and never returning. Big sigh. Had to keep a constant eye on her, which grew tiring at times.
We did lots of swimming, walking, looking for shells, feeding pelicans, chasing rabbits and watching DVD's. Very very nice.
For my birthday we went shopping. LOL. I had a haircut, manicure and pedicure which was gorgeous. We had a nice lunch and then for dinner we went to the Hogs breath. Very nice there too. Came home, had some birthday cake and all went to bed. A great day.
I went home on the Saturday to Mums for my usual watch the Carols and celebrate my birthday sleep over. So nice to go to mums just by myself. It's nice to catch up with everyone being just able to sit and no kids around to make too much noise to hear. Mum and Steph made me a lovely birthday dinner. Lasagna made the way Carol Ann makes it. And for dessert a pavlova birthday cake. Yummo my favourite - Chris's (my brother) too apparently since he ate half the thing by himself. Where does he put it? I even got a sleep in the next morning. I slept until 9.30. That is amazing for me. My kids wake me between five and six most mornings.
Caitlin was sick on Christmas Eve all day. She just lay on the lounge all day and at one stage even went and hopped into bed for a sleep. Thats when we knew she was really sick. Thankfully by Christmas day she was all better. The presents seemed to brighten her up. The trampoline was a huge success. Very happy campers indeed. Now all of them are seasoned tramp jumpers and can do all kinds of tricks on them. Charli's trick is that she can jump LOL. Well she is only just turned two. We went to mums for Christmas and the kids had an absolute ball, they love going to Nannys. The food was yummy lots of prawns and chicken and ham. With all kinds of salad. Yum yum. We were suppose to have a yummy pav for dessert but in my haste to leave the house I left it at home. Ooops. Luckily Steph the super chef had made a home made Chrissy pudding. That girl is amazing.
Speaking of that girl she got all band sixes for her Year Ten Certificate and at prize day at school got 8 yes that is 8 awards. Pretty impressive hey?
Alison got her HSC results and got 77.5. Mum says she could have done better if she had studied but I am still impressed by that. It gives her enough marks to get into uni and do psychology. Yes thats right folks she is going to be a psychologist. Well my family will certainly keep her busy. LOL.
I think that is enough news for now. I have photos to add but really wanted to post something. I realised that the reason I haven't posted as much lately is because I haven't had photos.
Have a great 2008. May it be everything you want it to be.
