Long time no here

Ok so we are back from the Gold Coast, had a very noice time, thanks very much. Could seriously live up there. The weather - at this time of year was perfect. So balmy and with that cool sea breeze. Ahhhhh. Plus they have a Sizzler so what more could you ask for?

I forgot to take my camera with me but it wasn't really that kind of holiday. Just shopping, reading books, eating, hanging out, sleeping. Perfect really.

When I got back from my holiday I found out that I had won the Challenge Pack at everymomentmatters.com.au
that was very exciting. It was for the shoe/handbag thingy that I made. Now I don't think it was the best in the comp but I guess it was different. But who cares. I won. LOL.

The kids had a great time while we were away although Charli kept asking if she could please come home. The girls had a nice time at Nanny's and the boys loved their time with their friends. They did the movies, the Blue Mountains, trampolining, Bay can now do a front flip. Hamish lost a tooth. And they were involved in their first car crash. A drunk driver didn't see their car stopped at the lights and so didn't stop and just hit them straight in the back where my two boys were sitting. This had an accumulative effect Michelles car hit the car in front of her which hit the car in front of it. You get it right? They weren't seriously hurt. Just sore necks and a headache. But excitement plus. How come WE never get to do anything cool like that? Um Pass on that I think.

Here are some photos of the kids mucking about before we left. Playing dress up.

Hamish and Jeremy are still having a love affair after all these years. I gave Jeremy an operation a few months ago and gave him some new stuffing. Other than a big scar he is doing fine. LOL.

Here is Hamish displaying his new gap. He has lost three teeth in a very short time. He now looks a bit like a vampire.
This very sad photo was taken after Cate asked when she was ever going to lose some tooth. Awww poor girl. It is tough being one of the youngest.

This is Indiana. Man do my girls love her. Too much. They are constantly harrassing her. Charli in particular. Trying to pick her up. Poking her in the eye. I think my girls really are Indy's favourite people. NOT.
Now this photo sums up the girls relationship perfectly. My girls? Thrilled, excited, happy, laughing. Indy? Terrified, pleading eyes, arms extended. LOL. Ahhh too funny.
Can you believe that tomorrow this little girl turns 2? I certainly can't. That time has just flown. This is Charlis latest obsession. This photo was taken while I was actually typing out this blog entry to show you just what she was doing.
I just looked down and at my feet is Charli sitting on the pottie. She must have felt lonely over there. LOL.
Ok so this week we have holiday club. Gideon coming to stay. Charli's birthday. I am directing the dramas for holiday club and teaching one of the Bible verses. Plus of course I want to scrapbook. I think James is hoping I will get some cleaning in there somewhere. I guess..... but only if I can fit it in. I have priorities don't you know?
