First Tooth

2008-09-19T23:26:00.003+10:00

Life has been so so busy,I wont even try to catch up

Kayley lost her first tooth today.Sad to see the first perfect little white tooth go

Too Busy!

2008-08-01T20:29:00.014+10:00

OMG It cant be August?

I have just been super busy.Im too busy to have a blog LOL.I have enough trouble finding time to sleep.I have worked 8 days (or mostly overnights rather) in the last 10 and yesterday was 10 hours.Anyways today was the first day ive had to myself since i cant remember.It went way too fast.These past holidays were the first school holidays i have ever worked so that was a bit different for the kids.Luckily my mum helped me out with the kids and I tried to make up for lost time every chance i got

So now to find a few pics from the past month

Kayley at her half yearly dance display~Troupe dance

Very tired dancing girl~ Panda eyes

Lauren and Hayden on the same day..They all performed in Acro and Loved it.So much so that Lauren has decided to get back into dancing and of course has to do it all..ballet,jazz and tap.Thank god i have a job

Another one of Miss K on her way to the dance display and in her pose that she ends her dance in..You cant touch this!

In the holidays I took the kids to the grass slides.Just a hilly bit land beside the river that is popular for sliding down on with cardboard.I got some from work.We had a picnic and they had an absolute ball sliding down every which way you can.I could not get them away and it cost zippo

Off to the Movies to see Kung Fu Panda

Cheers

My beautiful girl is 6 plus lots of catch ups

2008-06-30T12:40:00.023+10:00

I have had lots happening and lots of pics to share

OMG where to start? A couple of weeks ago (the week before Kayleys birthday) we went to Taronga Zoo.My animal mad girl was busting to go there for her birthday and we were busy the next 3 weeks so if we didnt go this day we wouldnt have got there.Problem was the weather looked a bit dodgy and Jase was very wary about going .I vowed that unless is was pouring..we were going.I bought 4 cheap umbrellas on the way.The weather was not good LOL.It was very cold,windy and mostly raining.The wind blew my unbrella inside out which was a cack.We made the most of it and of course she still had a ball.Not even absent zebras (which are her fav) monkey and gorillas would dampen her spirits

Before we left.Yes she raided my lipstick LOL

The giraffes..My fav.The backdrop to where these gorgeous animals are situated is stunning in real life.A definate tourist must see

Hayden,Kayley and Lauren

Birthday pics

I bought her a good outfit which she liked and i thought shed wear it out to dinner but she chose to leave on her Hannah Montanna gear which she loves LOL

All she wanted for her birthday was a bunch of fresh flowers and a photo album with her zoo pictures in it.She wanted pics of every animal LOL.She did get a bit spoilt with other things though.She chose some lillies and the florist added some daisies in.They are still in her room and its day 9.we have been changing the water and trimming them.There was loads of buds so she has been able to watch them bloom.They only cost me $10 so worth every cent

All her gorgeous hair stuff and jewellery is from Lisa of Giggle'N'Groove.I was lucky enough to be the winner of a box of bling when i placed an order .It is all very much loved here.Kayley has worn it all at every opportunity.Cant speak highly enough of the service and product.Due to my lack of photography skills i can promise its even nicer in real life.

Kayley on her way to her first dancing estoddford.Didnt get a chance to get a pic in her costume..She came home with a "first" ribbon

My new classes.Kayley took this pic late one arvo just before dark in the backyard.Do I look intelligent? LOL

My dear friend Deb and I at our 20 Year highschool reunion.What a blast!.Was so great to catch up with everyone.Deb came down from QLD and we have been friends for over 30yrs.

Beautiful Corey Boy!. Just had to share this pic that was taken today.I am minding Corey (who is my friend Lisas little boy) today and he is asleep at the moment.Such a gorgeous, happy, good boy.He has just turned 2 .Who said 2yr olds were terrible?

Well thats an overload of pics.Think that will do for now LOL

Cheerio for now

The Eye Glass

2008-06-14T21:14:00.013+10:00

LOL Didnt know what to call this post so thought that was a bit tongue in cheek.Mmm might be a drawn out post.Something that affects so much of my life but also so very little at the same time.

Just recently..Only because of my high profile job as a console operator (hehe) I have noticed that my vision isn't all that crash hot.I have to record rego numbers when cars stop to fill up (due to the not so honest ones that like to fill up and do a runner)The ones that park closest to my window, I am okay with...next pump up and i often struggle to make out a lot of the numbers/letters.Because of this its made me aware that other things at a distant aren't as clear as they should be

So i visit an optometrist and organize to get some glasses.No biggie.Load of people wear them.Mainly just for work and night driving.If i was just a house wife I probably wouldnt need to worry(which had been my main occupation for some time) He said i would pass a driving license eye test..not easily..but just.

I get my license renewed every 5yrs.I panic that one day they wont pass me.With my glasses one will just be plain glass.

When i was 5 I lost the vision in my right eye.I had an accident.Playing horsey rides in the backyard with some contraption I put together .A wire thing you used to take your garbo out on ...kinda like a little trolley and I attached an indoor clothes line.Elastic about 1cm thick with hooks on each end.Thought i was clever not using the actual hooks to attach it...i tied them on so they were more secure. .I had it around my waist and tied it onto the trolley and asked anyone if they wanted a horsey ride which my neighbour who was there willingly obliged (she would have been about my age too)Now being 5,the ties woundn't have been that good which was proved when it undone as i walked and the hook flung right into the middle of my eye.

I must have blacked out.I do remember but its hazey.I remember playing and being in the back of the ambulance, off to Sydney eye hospital.Dont remember any pain.Back them they had a whole hospital dedicated to eyes.Was operated on and another to follow a bit down the track.The damage was irreparable but they did a pretty good cosmetic job.My eye doesnt dialate and has no lens.I always wondered why I automatically put my hand over my eye when in bright sunlight.Ive seen pics of me as a kid and i have my bloody hand over my eye LOL.Last time I saw a specialist which was probably about 8 odd years ago he said " Oh there is no lens there..that would make you sensitive to sunlight.A "penny dropped" moment. I went to the specialist as I hadnt been for many years and my dad had said to me that i should go as with all the medical science you never know what they can do now but the specialst confirmed..nope it is definatey permanent.They have been giving people heart transplants for yonks but they cant make my blind eye see...go figure.He did comment that they had done a very good job on my eye though

They did try a lot of things to try and get the sight back including wearing a patch over my good eye to try and strain my bad one to see.While this happened I couldnt see a darned thing...fun! Glasses would made no difference to my bad eye either.

Anyways my eyes are different but not overly noticable.Some people dont even notice or they just notice but dont comment which is what you would expect.I think at night its less noticable when my active eye dialates and looks more like the other.The optometrist made me laugh.His description was that it was "not enough to frighten young children " LOL

Having said all of that (Yes i know I can waffle LOL),It really does not affect me at all .I really only think about it on occasion when something draws attention to it.I see clearly (well close enough) but my view is not as wide.Put your hand over one eye and that what i see.Having been like that since 5..I dont know any different and am so greatful for our gift of sight.In the grand scheme of things its such a very minor thing.I am very lucky to have what i do.

If i see my kids doing pontentially dangerous things though (like flying their skipping ropes around like a lasso)I am probably a little more over the top.Driving I am extra cautious and i have never caused an accident in 20yrs of driving.

Its not something i tell people unless something was to come up.My employer has no idea and i dont see the need for them to know really.Its no secret but no big deal worthy of mentioning .I was in my last job for over 13yrs.I must have told someone or maybe a couple of people i was close to (can't really remember) and one day a manager says to me " Oh I know you have a glass eye" WTF..where did you hear that ?(its not glass..it is still the eye ball i was born with) .No doubt some chinese whispers going on there.Then i made a sarcastic joke"yeah sure and when i get tired..I pluck it out and sit it on the desk for a while" LOL

Its all nothing really but just something little about me

The Bestest Mum

2008-06-10T20:22:00.002+10:00

Quotes from my Kayley girl.... all in one day

You are the bestest mum in the whole wide world

You are the bestest mum Ive ever had

You are the bestest mum I've ever seen..I just can't believe it!

I dont think I even corrected her grammar. I love being the "bestest" LOL

June already?

2008-06-06T20:50:00.011+10:00

Oh My goodness.I cant believe its half way through the year already.Obviously,I am behind in blogging.Still getting used to working life and trying to keep my house from becoming a bomb site and the family fed and clean LOL

Well I have 2 days off now so really looking forward to that.Since working nights shift..I so appreciate the nights i get to sleep in my bed.Its pure bliss.Who would have thought something you do normally without a second thought can now be so appreciated.

Have a few exciting things happening this month.My gorgeous girl is turning 6.We aren't doing the party thing this year but are just going to the zoo for the day.Kayley is mad on animals so will love that.I also have a 20year high school reunion..One word..Scary! LOL.Lauren has a couple of parties on for 2 of her good friends..A build-a-bear one and Ice skating.Her bestie Gen is also coming up from Mildura to stay also.

Now for some catch up pics

Dressing up for the schools education week"Superkid Parade"

Kayley is her Zebra Pjs that she LOOVVES

Happy Sunday ..My fav day of the week

Cheers

Happy Mothers Day!

2008-05-11T22:46:00.004+10:00

Happy Mothers Day to all

I awoke EARLY to my 3 with a bundle or beautifully wrapped pressies.Handmade (the best kind) and from the Mothers Day stall at school.These included lip gloss,nail buffer,candles, windchimes and also some nice mugs I helped pick out.I will take some more pics later.I only managed one and my camera died.I did fix it (the lense needed cleaning and battery charge) but by then i was busy with other things (like cleaning up)

So here is a pic that my 5yr old daughter Kayley spent 2 nights colouring in, in her room.I just love this to bits.I knew she was up to something as she kept worrying Id see what she was doing.She loves colouring in and is quite good at it

It would have been nice to have asleep in and I did try but it wasnt going to happen.Jase cooked bacon and eggs though so that made up for it

My heart goes go out to the mums that are "missing " today. I dont know if its possible that they miss moreso today as they do everyday but i guess its another significant reminder .Hard to find the right things to say but my thoughts are with you

Luv Kaz

Ice Ice baby !!

2008-05-10T23:18:00.007+10:00

Dont know why but i felt the need to put that in the title LOL

Finally took the kiddos ice skating today after many requests from Lauren.We stayed there for the whole session.The time flew by and the kids loved it.Was quite warmish here today but freezing inside the rink arena as you can see by the winter woolies

Thats it for now.Here are some piccies of my lil bunch

New working life

2008-05-10T22:51:00.004+10:00

Well I have been super busy getting used to working life and trying to balance with my family and getting sleep.I'll have my little waffle here and then get on with some more light hearted fun kid stuff,Okay? My new occupation is I guess what you or I would call a "servo chick" or technically a "console operator" and before you laugh along with me...Its a job right? I didnt exactly have employers knocking on my door after so many years out of the workforce raising my kiddos.

I work 11pm to 6am 3 nights a week with some extra here and there. Last week was my first working week after training. I did 4 shifts and to say i was buggered is an understatement.I felt like i could barely walk LOL.During your shift you dont feel it but when you stop ,it kicks in. I am sure in time I will get used to it.Its not just the "Ive been staying up half the night on my butt on my computer/self inflicted" type of tired.Its more a "Ive been stocking,cleaning and serving on my feet all night and need sleep "type tired.When I sleep, I am in such a deep sleep.I know this also cos i am having weird dreams which i dont normally.Having said all that,I am enjoying it and i think working outside of the home can do wonders for self esteem.

I am very grateful to have a job and will just takes this as it comes and see how long my body can handle the nights.I'm hoping that in time things will fall into a pattern and Ive never been one to need loads of sleep. I particularly was looking for night work so i could work the longer hours without having to use care and also wouldn't be stuck in school hols as i would be if i committed to a permanent part time day job.I do also think it is much easier to get a job if you are currently employed so i am one step ahead in the right direction.

Kayley made me laugh.She was asking me lots of questions about my job and she says "Mum I like what you do.Cos working in a service station would be reallly hard you know" She was so serious .God I love her

Tagging along

2008-04-27T23:29:00.004+10:00

I have been tagged by the lovely Sue J

These are the rules:

Link the person who tagged you
Mention the rules on your blog
Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers blogs letting them know they have been tagged.

Okay, well this gets the 'ole brain working and see what i can come up with.I'm not very quirky you know

1.I wear some makeup EVERYDAY (embarrassment).Sad I know but i feel kinda naked without it.Not always full makeup but I rarely go completely bare faced, even for days at home .I also have blonde eyelashes so I really need a bit of mascara.I dont really worry what I look like by the end of the day but i have to start out okay.I look horrid without makeup

2.I can fall asleep just about anywhere LOL eg:In the movies,sitting in a chair whilst the kids are doing acrobats,sitting on one of those steel type seats with a brick wall behind me while Kayley is in swimming lessons...you get the idea? When i used to catch the train to work many years ago I would crash and wake up on auto pilot just in time to get off

3.I am really good at washing but not so good with the folding and ironing.I wash just about everyday and any tops,dresses (kids of course, i dont do dresses) etc go straight on coat hangers and are dried that way.They then go straight in the wardrobe to be ironed when needed and only if needed.The rest of the clean washing piles up in my laundry and gets done once or twice a week

4.I have a habit of saying sorry when i dont need to.For example ,if someone bumps into me I say sorry to them .I just automatically do it.I dont know why and sometimes i will think to myself afterwards 'why the heck did you say you were sorry"

5.Lately,because I've put on weight and gone up in size of some things ,I have started cutting the size tags off my clothes.I do not want to see and be reminded what size they are

6.I read the newspaper everyday.I dont watch the news so this is my way of staying in touch with whats going on in the world.

Now for tagging others.This will be hard as I really dont know that many bloggers and a lot of the ones i do know have been tagged already

Therese http://its-all-about-t.blogspot.com/

Trudi http://trudiswords.blogspot.com/

Kate http://katemularczyk.blogspot.com/

Ebz http://ebony-rose.blogspot.com/

Lisa http://gigglengroove.blogspot.com/

Thats it all done.

Girly Stuff~ Beaut Belville & Pancake People

2008-04-26T15:30:00.006+10:00

This post is especially for my friend Sue to say a big "Thank You" for kindly purchasing these pancake boy and girl moulds and the cute little kiddie tongs.Love ya xoxo I wish i had taken a pic of them in their boxes before the kids excitedly ripped them open.We will have these forever and i will always think of you Sue when we make them..I can see myself making these for the grandkids one day LOL

These were our first attempt .The girls said they are delicious..Of course moreso than regular pancakes even though its the same mix.The shape must make them taste better LOL.Kayley was announcing the amputation of each limb as she ate "Hear goes his arm, mum"

Now I did get into trouble as "Sue" they told me , used choc chips for eyes and buttons etc and we didn't have any.They remembered from me showing them your blog.Gosh, kids dont forget things do they? I had forgotton.Not to worry as they were still very much enjoyed.When we went shopping today they reminded me about the chop chips and they were purchased for the next lot.

Now for the beaut lego Belville Sunshine Home set that arrived this week.Thanks to Janelle for making me aware of this girly lego stuff. We have had Duplo for years,since Hayden was little and I wanted to sell it on ebay as i thought they had outgrown it.Hayden has regular lego but its not as appealing to the girls as "pink" lego.So many times they convinced me not to sell the Duplo even though it rarely got touched.I finally convinced them with a promise to spend the $ on this.I wanted to do this on the weekend and get in there and help as i thought they might need it but Lauren couldnt wait so she built it all by herself with Kayley as her apprentice

Now in keeping it real, I must add that it wasnt all smiles yesterday as indicated in the pics.There was lots of squabbling going on between my three little darlings.Must be that its nearing the end of the school hols.They are a bit better today though,thankfully

Luv

A little catching up

2008-04-26T15:21:00.001+10:00

This is just a bit of a scattered catch up.These school hols have been busy

Last week we had the inlaws stay which was a nice catch up.I also took the kids to the movies on Tues to see the Dr Seuss movie.It was actually better than i expected and i didnt fall asleep LOL.On Thursday the kids and I went to see High School Musical on Ice which they have been anxiously awaiting.It was fantastic and we all enjoyed it.

This week I have spent 4 days in training for my new job and luckily my mum is back from holidays and helped me out looking after the kids.My Aunty Eileen (and my Uncle)who we rarely see as they have lived in QLD have been staying with my parents and my girls are just in love with my aunty and didnt leave her alone

My job is nothing flash and will be 7 to 8 hr night shifts (bar any extra shifts I pick up)which suits me as it means it doesnt affect the kids at all.I can sleep when they are at school and i'm not someone who needs loads of sleep.If i was to get a permanent part time job I would be stuck in all the school holidays but now although i may be tired in the school hols ,we will manage .I am so thrilled to have a job after many months of searching daily and applying for all sorts of jobs all to no avail.I know this job will be so good for me not to mention the much needed pay.This will mean i will need to be even more organized to fit everything in and no more late nights on the computer.Mind you I was up the night before my first day really crook and only got a couple of hours sleep.I just couldnt miss my first day so battled through and took the bucket in the car with me and I survived.

Anyway,here is a pic on my 3 on the way to see HSM

Lest We Forget

2008-04-25T21:51:00.004+10:00

I am so behind in blogging.Been super busy and i will post some more over the next couple of days as a catch up but cannot go past the meaning of today

ANZAC DAY marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.It is a day when Australians reflect on the many different meanings of war and remember those who fought for our beautiful country.

They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
With the setting of the sun, and in the morning we will remember them.
Lest We Forget

Thinking of my dear pop today.Always remember him with his wireless attached to his ear listing to his horse races.I was about 13 when he died.My dear Nan lived another 10 odd years and couldnt wait to be with him

Casting back on a bit of history that affected his life (and so many others) greatly~
Prime Minister Robert Menzies spoke these words in his address to the nation on 3 September 1939. World War Two had broken out two days earlier when Germany invaded Poland. After Britain and France declared war on Germany, Australia, part of the British Empire, promptly followed suit. It would be six years before Australia, and the world, was at peace again.

Did some googling and found my dear pops service record on the WW2 roll.Hard to believe but there is roughly a million names on that roll which just goes to show the enormity of it all


Name	DARCY, HUGH JOSEPH
Service	Australian Army
Service Number	NX53931
Date of Birth	17 Jun 1904
Place of Birth	CONCORD, NSW
Date of Enlistment	9 Jul 1940
Locality on Enlistment	MORTLAKE, NSW
Place of Enlistment	PADDINGTON, NSW
Next of Kin	DARCY, VERNA
Date of Discharge	8 Dec 1944
Rank	Sapper

Today ,even though I might have been dealing with my kids squabbling and doing boring housework, I did still think of the bravery and sacrifice of all of the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), who served our country

Ten Things I know

2008-04-07T15:58:00.002+10:00

As per the Trudsters request (Am I allowed to call you that?)LOL ,here are 10 things that i know that come to my mind right now

1.Quality is best over quantity especially when it comes to friends

2. I need to go to bed earlier

3.Honesty IS the best policy (mostly)

4.Black is my safe colour

5.If its sounds too good to be true,it usually is

6.What goes around ,comes around

7.We need to savour every precious moment with our loved ones

8. I have a sweet tooth (and evidence to prove it)

9.Material possessions don’t mean much in the grand scheme of things

10.Life is too short to sweat the small stuff

...and so this post doesn't go picless (my own word) here is an old one

Kitty and Butterfly

2008-04-06T22:07:00.002+10:00

We had a great weekend.Laurens bestie who moved to Victoria last year are up this way and Gen stayed with us for the weekend.

Today I took them to a truck show.We dont go for the trucks..just for the 12 rides that the kids can go on endlessly once you get in.Its actually a really cheap and funfilled day.There is also free face painting and fairy floss

Here are my gals.Dont let that cute little Kitty Cat fool ya.She can be angelic but by gosh she can be one mighty terror too.We'll take her anyway she comes

Blogland Boldness!

2008-04-05T22:19:00.004+11:00

Okay Therese..you got me by passing on the dare by Soozadoo .I have been seeing this going on in blogland a bit lately where you post a pic of yourself.Its a showing of us mums who always hide behind the camera and use it as the perfect excuse as to why we have hardly any pics of ourselves.How convenient that is LOL

Well here i am today.I took one of myself but the angle managed to display a very prominent double chin (which of course is really not there) so i asked my son to take one.Now maybe I am cheating by changing it to black and white but if Sheye with all her talent is allowed them so am I hehe.Please note i haven't been to the hairdresser for 4 months (seriously) I cut my own fringe and have to get there real soon

On a side note I am so happy to have my boy back from school camp.He was VERY homesick and we missed him so much

Also I have a job.*Squeals* Certainly far from a flash one but i dont care.I will write more in an up and coming post.I only found out yesterday and wont start for a couple of weeks.

Cheers

10 Randon bits about me

2008-04-04T00:02:00.004+11:00

Taking inspiration from the gorgeous Sheyes blog I thought Id give this a go.I’m pretty boring so will have to rack my brains (what is left of them)Mmm this may be a bit confronting.Off the top of my head

1. I worked in a bank for 13yrs.Was supposed to be until I figured out what I wanted to do.Guess I never did that LOL.Think my calling came when I became a mum

2.I once had a pet turtle named Sam.I painted his name on his shell with nail polish or was that liquid paper? Dad bought him home when he nearly ran over him on the road one night in the rain.I built him an enclosure with his own pool and fed him dog food.He ran away LOL

3.My hubby calls me cuddles (all the time) or cuds for short which doesn’t sound that good.Apparently I am cuddly (Rolls eyes) Guess it could be worse

4.I hated my white legs so much in high school.The day prior to having to expose them with a summer uniform I decided to try out fake tan (New on the market back then).I put lots on.LOL Woke up the next day with very dark brown/orange legs that stood out like you know what.I PANICKED.Got the razor out to try and shave at least some of it off and in my flurry managed to accidently cut my legs (badly)and had to wear jeans to school for the week (with a note from mum with some phony excuse)Despite the cuts they still would have needed covering.The colour was baaddd.

5.I loath mice (and snakes) and will just about hyperventilate if I ever see one on the loose

6.I first moved out of home when I was 18 with a female friend and moved back after 3 months when it didn’t work out

7.I can only see out of my left eye. Long story but I had an accident when I was 5 with a hook flying in my eye.Some people that know me don’t know this as its not something you really need to tell people.Have had a couple of eye ops as a young child but have been told its impossible to ever get the sight back.I can see clearly but my view of the world looking straight ahead just isn’t as wide as the average person.Cover one eye and you will see what I mean.It doesn’t affect me.I don’t ever remember it being any different

8.I managed to have my 3 bubs with just some gas (not that I had a choice) LOL.I never knew what sex they were and always thought I was having a boy each time

9.As a kid we used to love going to the grass slides.Just a hill and a bit of cardboard from a box.Sit on it and slide down.Cheap entertainment

10.I love making cupcakes and would like to try my hand at cake decorating one day (amongst other things)

Off to School Camp

2008-03-31T13:11:00.004+11:00

Hayden went off to school camp this morning.He left early this morning (Monday) and will be back late on friday afternoon.Am i sounding a little anxious? He kept saying how much he will miss us.Gosh we will miss him too.I am hoping he will be so busy with all the great activities and having fun with his mates that he wont have much time to think about it.The worst part is having no contact at all.I know this will be great for him ,especially not having mum to do things and think for him but its going to feel very strange this week with him not around

Cross Country Carnival

2008-03-28T22:18:00.004+11:00

Its feels like its been a busy week.I had a few things to post about but I'll just tackle one topic and do some more later ,otherwise it will turn into one big waffle of a post

Tuesday was our Cross Country carnival.Was a busy day with 4 trips to the school as I had my kids spread out into all 3 categories.Infants started at about 9.45.This is the first year they have included the kindy kids which i thought was great.They were to run 500metres which is one lap opposed the the 1km for Yr 1 and 2. Kayles says to me " I hope i come first" I just laughed and thought what high hopes she had.Sure as anything she came first LOL.She was coming third the whole way and then right towards the end she started sprinting and overtook.It was such a thrill and she was pleased as punch and was awarded a blue ribbon.

Now I didnt even think to take my camera so I took some on my phone after i worked out how.Now i have no idea how to get the pic onto my computer.There is no spot for a USB cable and i have tried emailing it to myself but it didnt come through LOL So thats in the too hard basket for the moment.

At 11.50 it was Yr 3 and 4 to run 2km.Lauren is so competitive.She tried her hardest.She was as red as a beetroot and looked like she was going to pass out at the end.Its a pretty good distance for little kids.She did really well and came somewhere shortly after the first 10.Im not sure of the place.I could tell she was disapointed with herself but she so needn't of been as i was so proud of her efforts and kept trying to tell her how well she did

Seniors were up to run at 2pm.Hayden came 9th .Job well done.First 6 go to district and he says hes going to make it there next year.

So was very proud of my 3 and the effort they put in.

Cheers
Kaz

HAPPY EASTER!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter today.

My children were very considerate and even though they were awake much earlier they waited until 6.30 to drag me out of bed LOL.So through blurry eyes I took this pic after they ran around the house squealing and finding eggs.Plus the Easter bunny left a few other goodies too so they have been spoilt.They actually heard the Easter bunny last night putting things down on the table.He also ate some of the carrot and was quite messy as he left bits all over the floor

Easter Eve

2008-03-22T22:27:00.005+11:00

Lauren told me today that her friend Chloe calls today Easter Eve.Well I guess she is not wrong there .

More cupcakes.No doubt tomorrows menu will be prominently cupcakes and chocolate .These were made very quickly tonight just in time to watch Ice Age at 6.30.I can never go with the standard pink as Hayden wont eat pink ones.He says they taste funny LOL so i usually tend to ice a few blue ones.They also cant have any sprinkles of any kind (rolls eyes).Decided to throw in green instead this time.The girls are getting very good at icing these especially Lauren.They are a bit bright but Easterish

Kayley was so worried going off to bed tonight.She is finding the prospect of the Easter bunny entering our house amid darkness quiet scary.She says she doesnt know what he really looks like and what if he is brown (which would be scary)and he looks in her room and what if shes awake etc etc.Rest assured the Easter bunny should be white and fluffy and in such a hurry that he will be in and out in a flash.Lauren still made sure the containers with the cupcakes were hidden away in case he decides to eat them all LOL

I did a big book sort out today.OMG we have sooo many books. Have a pile for St Vinnies,heaps for ebayland and we still have heaps.I found a few Easter story books.I used to always try and buy an Easter book each Easter until one year I couldnt find one so I gave up.One story we read was all about the Easter Bunny getting trapped in a cage (to be eaten mind you) and then the last page was missing.I made up the rest of the story but still Miss wasnt impressed about the missing page as now she doesnt know the end to the real story.Rest assured it would have been a happy one.The next one was a Richard Scary one but was about these characters saying the Easter bunny wasnt real.Note to self to read these stories in future before buying them

Anyways better be off.Now heres hoping they dont all rise too early.Dont like my chances

Showbag Madness

2008-03-22T10:33:00.007+11:00

On Thursday I went to the Royal Easter show with all of my friends LOL Okay,I really went by myself LOL again!

Anyone who has ever been knows what a small fortune it would cost for a family of 5 to go.About $130 to get in the gates plus rides,food,parking and showbags.Im sure you would easily spend over $400.Last time we tried to go as a family quite a few years back it was a disaster.It poured rain and the kids were really hanging out for the end of the day for the showbags.They are truly not materialistic kids but hey showbags are FUN,not to mention a rip off and full of crap but they love them so thats what counts

Since Sunday Lauren has been drooling over the Easter show mag that came with the Daily Telegraph trying to work out what showbag she would get.Dont know where she got the idea from that she might get one but Jase had suggested I go for the day and pick them up a couple each while Im there.

So i did this.I did the same a couple of years ago and it worked out really well.I love looking at all the art and craft and I really dont mind doing things by myself.My mum is away and the couple of friends I asked couldnt make it but i wasnt fazed. I had a great day. I did feel a tad guilty that the kids weren't with me.They were at school though and ABSOLUTELY thrilled to get a couple of showbags each.There were squeals of delight

Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekend.Jase is working today but only 5 hours from 7 to 12.We are planning a nice quiet weekend at home.I made some brownies yesterday and have some crafty things for the kids to do.

Lauren just wanted to double check that the Easter bunny still comes when its raining.Im going grocery shopping this arvo and have been instructed to buy some carrots for him.Hayden was contemplating today where the Easter Bunny lives.Well I really dont know the answer to that one.Does he live with regular bunnies or is he too special for that?He said maybe Jupiter but i pointed out that Im pretty sure that its uninhabited.He said well maybe an unknown planet just for bunnies or on Easter Island wherever that is LOL

Lauren slept over at her friend Chloes house last night.I am good friends with her mum.She had a fantastic time but is very tired today as she couldn't get to sleep.She said she missed me.Im trying to get her to have a rest today

These pics where taken very quickly amongst the hysteria

Cupcakes and other bits

2008-03-15T22:58:00.003+11:00

We made cupcakes today.No shock there.We tend to make them a bit but havent made a batch since our holidays so well overdue.Felt like some colour today so here we have it.Lauren and i iced (she did most of them while I had fun mixing up colour) and Kayley was the decorator.These wont last long.Oh and we made fairy wands too but sorry no pic

Lauren also attended the district swimming carnival this week and came third in her race.Yay Lauren!

Hayden and Lauren both had seperate visits to the Dentist this week.Lauren is all good but Hayden will be going back in 2 weeks to have a tooth removed (a baby one).I think i am dreading that more than he is

Thats it for now.
Cheers

My Mum and Dad

2008-03-04T22:26:00.006+11:00

This is a rare pic taken of my parents and I at Christmas.Even though i am rarely in pics Im starting to realise that you really need to capture these moments (even if you dont like the look of yourself).Mum and Dad have their own business or should I say businesses and even though my brother manages then they are the type of people that dont just sit around.So even though they are getting on in age they are still work,work,work.They do have a caravan though and love to get away.They are away at the moment.I think its been a month or thereabouts.Im really happy that they are getting time to relax.Even though they live close I dont see them enough.I miss them

Even though my dad has health problems ..you will never ever hear him complain.He is a"get on with the job " kinda guy.Growing up in my teenage years he always told me I could have anything i wanted....all I had to do was pay for it.He taught us to work for things even though his generousity often shined through with the $20 per week lunch money I got in highschool (remember this was 20 odd years ago..I would have had some left over for scotch and coke on Sat night LOL ) Hes a joker.. and a bit of a stirrer at times.Hes upfront and always there if you need him

Mum..well she a softie..My friend.Growing up i told her everything...well almost.Whilst my friends made up lies .I came home and told my parents at age 15 Id just got into the local nightclub when the blue light disco she'd dropped us off at earlier was unexpectedly cancelled.I knew they wouldnt approve but honesty goes long way and i think I was given more freedom as a result.They always knew where i was.So Mum was "cool" and you just knew you could talk to her.I hope my kids will be the same with me.Im always drumming it into them that you can tell mum"ANYTHING"Although Mum did work part time for some years, we never noticed it.She was always there for us..another thing I plan to emulate.

Cheers,Kaz

Mums shouldn't get sick

2008-03-02T22:40:00.002+11:00

We had a quiet weekend this weekend.Well not that quite really as we did take the kids to putt putt golf on Saturday (after dancing)and then we went out for lunch at Hogs Breath Cafe and had the yummiest Banofee pie on this earth.I swear i would go there just for the dessert .You would probably guess that though if you had seen me lately LOL

I actually do want to start exercizing and losing weight but i've had this horrid chesty cough for maybe 3 weeks now and have just not been myself.We have a 5km track that is great to walk as once you start you have to finish.I have plans to do this each day once I'm feeling my old self.

Well time has been passing and i hadnt got better.I was getting worse .I hardly ever get sick but seem to have a good go at it when i do but i never go to the docs unless im desperate.Last night laying in bed listening to my own wheezing and i thought "okay time to get this checked out"

So i was up early and off to a medical centre which is about 20mins away as its where we used to live.I loath medical centres and have little faith in the docs there but no other choice on Sunday morn.Doc was surprised i had let it go so long and says my chest is bad and very wheezy and prescribes Ab's and some inhaler thing.Its not ventolin but something much more expensive of course (have spent $80 at chemist this week).

I walk to the other end of the shopping centre to the chemist.I kid you not they are on opposite ends.You would think they would be together.Not far walk if you are feeling normal and not about to pass out LOL.Chemist closed.It opens at 10.Thats okay as i have to do grocery shop anyway (really feel up to that).I will walk back to other end and do that and then come back to get prescription.Do shop,wheel trolley back to chemist and prescription is not where i put it in my back pocket.Dont really know why i put it there.I thought it would be easier to find that going through my handbag.Have no choice but to go back to docs to get another prescription.

Anyway,without boring you to death we got there in the end.Glad i didnt buy icecream as it wouldnt have survived.2 and half hours later and im back home. I did rest this arvo so that was nice (and rare).I will be back on track soon and doing that much needed walk

Cheers

Kayleys Special News

2008-02-26T23:15:00.002+11:00

It was Kayleys news day today.The subject was a family photo.Now as i am usually the one taking the pics (or trying to), family pics of the 5 of us are not easy to come by.Sad i know and we must make the effort to get some.I am also slack at printing photos.They seem to just stay on the computer or when i do order them ,Lauren quickly scraps them

Anyway, last night I was searching everywhere for a pic for Kayles to take.Found one on the computer but our printer was low on ink so that was a no go.I suggested she take one of the 3 kids together but she really wanted one with mum and dad, of course

I have a photobook that i ordered through a Snapfish promotion .Its is filled with pics of the kids,and also has one of Jase and I , all printed on paper in the style of a book. I told Kayley if she took care of it,she could take that.I put a bookmark on the page for her to show

In the very last page of the book is the pic I have to the left on my blog...My 3 children all in pink with pink balloons.It takes up the whole page.I love this pic for its obvious sentiment as that was the day of Avas farewell

On the way home from dancing this afternoon Kayley told me that she turned to that last page and told the class the story of Ava .This was totally out of the blue.I dont know quite how to describe the way it made me feel.I was surprised but very touched, as I know Sheye would be too.I felt proud of her and happy that 20 little children today were able to hear in a childs words how Ava's memory lives on

Gifts Of Love

2008-02-25T13:36:00.004+11:00

The best gifts of all are those that cost very little, if anything at all.....made lovingly by those we love

My girls are always making me things and yesterday was no different..Lauren was trying out her crimper.This girl just love anything "crafty".She is so much like i was at her age

Kayley loves giving me flowers..even this morning on the way to school she picked off a bit of potato vine for me.LOL Yesterday i received a beautiful array of ELLO flowers.They just kept coming

My Man Hayden

2008-02-24T22:55:00.007+11:00

Well we have just had a quiet weekend.Ive been a bit crook so just plodding along
Took some pics of Hayden in some new gear that arrived earlier in the week and will snap up this opportunity to post.He's not a poser like Kayley so we dont get pics of him as often.He tends to hide from the camera.I cant believe he will be 11 this year and after next year will be in high school.I need a pause button now please.

Oh and one more pic I took this morning to email to friends of Jase.He stays on a property with his brother occasionally and the property owners sent these hats back with Jase for the kids.How sweet! Kayley prefer to wear hers backwards..she puts on my sunnies and runs around saying "hey DUDE" with these crazy poses .You just have to be there to see how funny it is

What we've been up to

2008-02-13T19:01:00.006+11:00

Havent really had much to report.We are just back to all the normal stuff

Kids are settling back into school.Homework has started.Kayley is back into her dancing .She does ballet/jazz/tap and has also been selected for troupe.All 3 kidlets are doing acrobats this year and 2 lessons in and they love it

Last night we had 3 seperate "Meet the teacher" interviews.

Today at school Kayley received an award for her bookwork and had to show everyone her bookwork at assembly.All that nice colouring in is paying off .I asked her was she shy and it was a definate "no" LOL

We had our swimming carnival today for primary and Lauren achieved first place for age 50m freestyle and 3rd place for Junior 50m backstroke. So pleased she gets in there and gives it her best as not that many kids seem to enter those races at her age

Ive been listing on ebay (need to fund up and coming winter clothing purchases for the kids) and have some fluey thing happening at the moment that i would like to get rid of LOL.Even though i have all 3 at school now i have not had one moment to be bored as yet..there is always something to be done

I am hoping to get back into the workforce this year.I had a group interview lined up for this friday after surviving all the online tests but its been postponed and we have to wait to hear when the interviews will be.I just want the job and not the process that comes with it. I'd like a job that allows me to still be around for the kids.I can work school hours and/or evenings and reasonable pay would be nice too.I dont ask for much do i ? LOL

In MEMORY OF A PRINCESS

2008-02-05T12:22:00.001+11:00

Ava Rosemeyer
22.08.03- 05.02.07

The calender says so but it cant be
A whole year since that day
The days have just flown by
But the sadness is here to stay

Thoughts take us back to a time
When we first met your mum
Chatting about outfits
And funny things you’d done

We would admire your beauty
And we still do today
But our heart aches
That you went away

We can only imagine
The big hole that is left
For so many mourn you
Even those you’ve never met

The world has lost a princess
and we will never forget
You’re a shining star that sparkles
As beautiful as a sunset

Sheye,Your beautiful Ava lives on in so many ways.Thinking of you so much

Love Kaz

The start of big school

2008-02-01T19:28:00.000+11:00

My baby girl started big school on Thursday.All went very well

She was unusually quiet in the morning and said how much she would miss me.The feeling is mutual thats for sure.

Lauren is such a great big sister.At lunch time on both days she has found her sister so she can show her around.She was pretty chuffed that her friends kept telling her her little sister was "so cute".

Hayden and Lauren found out their classes/teachers yesterday and both are very pleased and couldnt wait to go to school today.Wonder how long that will last LOL

Our Holiday

2008-01-22T19:06:00.000+11:00

I have had quiet a bit to blog but just havent made the time.Last Thursday we got back from a week up the coast.We went away with 3 other families (10 children in total)and had a fabulous time.The kids had an absolute ball.

This will be an overload of pics but so hard to choose.I will let them do most of the talking

The men set the kids up with rods in shallow water,not expecting any of them to catch anything.My girl reels one all by herself after about 5 minutes.Kayley the fishing champion.A little catch ,but one nonetheless

Lauren took this pic.She has requested her own camera for her birthday

This post is just a catch up of the last week..bit of this and that

First post of 2008 woohoo LOL

Heres a pic of my gal at my feet as i was on the computer.Hence title of post ..i couldnt think of anything else.She is a bit burnt on the face on this day.We went swimming in Lisa's pool.I always religiously pack heaps of sunscreen on my kids (they wear rashies too ) and this day was no different.How did they get burnt? I have only just learnt that you are supposed to wait 15 to 20 mins for the sunscreen to be absorbed.Doh! How the hell did this white one go all these years and not know that? LOL

Luna Park

2007-12-31T21:56:00.000+11:00

We took the kids to Luna Park yesterday for the first time.They had an absolute ball.

Lauren was a tad disapointed that she was 2 to 3 cm too short to go on the a few of most daring rides such as the giant drop etc.She is the daredevil in the family.Hayden was tall enough but he is a LOT more reserved.The girls also needed to take an adult with them on a lot of them.The mini Mouse rollercoaster was Laurens fav so Jase must have been on it at least 20 times LOL

Wasnt a place to venture to very often cost wise .It was $220 alone just for our 5 unlimited ride tickets but at least they had a blast.We got there at 10am and it was nearly 6 when we left.They were still talking about it today.

Phew! As much as you look forward to it and enjoy it ,its still a kind of relief when its over.I guess its like going on holidays and loving it but it still nice to come home to your own bed.Now the Christmas hype is over..we get back to normal life.Normal is good too LOL

2 funfilled days with family and lots of food.We celebrate Christmas over 2 days.Christmas lunch is always at my mums and then we come home and just spend the rest of the day with the kids.It was very chilly and the kids were a tad disapointed that it wasn't swimming weather.They made up for it today on Boxing Day whilst celebrating Xmas with Jasons side of the family.

Twas the night before Christmas

2007-12-25T20:44:00.000+11:00

...when all through the house.Not a creature was stiring,not even a mouse

NOT IN THIS HOUSE LOL

My kids were sooo excited last night..just busting with anticipation of the old fella visiting in his red suit.Hayden couldnt get to sleep and had been in bed a couple of hours trying his hardest and he started to get upset with frustration.I layed down with him and he eventually went off.I do all the normal things us mums do up late on Xmas eve and am just about to log off the computer at 1am and head off to bed when Kayley appears

"Mum!!! Santas been.I can see presents ..even a bike".I tell her he must have just been or maybe its just shadows she has seen but she better hop into bed with me and go straight to sleep.I was thinking if shes with me then at least she wont go out and start opening.At 2am she is still awake,way too excited to sleep.I put her back in her own bed.I think she went to sleep..not sure LOL

THEN... at exactly 3am I wake to all 3 kids in the area where Santa had left his stash.The light had been switched on and they were VERY excited.I tell them it still the middle of the night and they must go back to bed.Hayden goes back to sleep.The girls get into bed together and i hear them muttering away.Im pretty certain they never went back to sleep.I told them we could start opening at 6am so of course they pop their heads in to check the time a few times after that." Is it time yet ?"

Soooo I joked that I think some sedation is required next year LOL I was exhausted before the day had started.Its all worth it though

The boyfriend

2007-12-19T22:11:00.000+11:00

Kayley made me laugh this morning so thought share.She is not the type of girl who is put off by boy germs even at age 5.She will proudly tell everyone that she actually has 2 boyfriends..Zac and Travis.Zac is her fav as "in her own words" she gets to spend more time with him (2 and half hours of preschool each day)LOL

This morning we were talking about how we are meeting up with all the preschool kids and their mums at Maccas as Preschool is shut for the day on Thursday.The convo went like this

Kayley~ Zac isnt going to be there is he?I really hope he isnt going
Me~Why? I thought you liked Zac
Kayley ~Mum, we broke up.I (the I was emphasized)broke it off with him
Me ~(Trying not to laugh) Oh how come ?(not good grammar...I know ! I know!)
Kayley~ Cos my friends told me too
Me~ Oh! Well you know you should do what you want to do not what they tell you
Kayley~Well if hes there i still might play with him.Actually I will play with him ....but only if Chloe and Sophie (her friends)are not around

Poor Zac!LOL Preschool finishes up this week and she might not see Zac again as he is going to a different big school so probably the best time to break up anyway LOL

LUSH

2007-12-10T13:15:00.000+11:00

My girls discovered the Lush shop and are in love LOL

We were walking to the fruit market on Saturday and being busy with Xmas shoppers we had trouble parking.This market is within a shopping centre and we must have spent a good half an hour trying to find a parking spot hence not getting a close one.Well, it worked out well as we walked past Lush and I have always wanted to take my girls there but one of those things I havent gotten around to doing.

OMG how they loved it.We came home with some goodies and a brochure that Lauren has been drooling over ever since.She already has her birthday present picked out and its not until October

I think she summered it up by saying this about 6hrs after we had been there."Mum i so love that shop.I cant stop thinking about it"

A Sad Goodbye

2007-12-10T13:05:00.000+11:00

Laurens best friend had her last day of school on friday and was headed straight off for Victoria (about 12hrs away).They are both finishing Yr 2 this year and have been close friends since kindy.They have been counting down the days and then eventually the hours they had left together. I know its life but it was heartbreaking to hear them talk about being best friends forever and how much they love each other.My girl smiled and hugged goodbye keeping a brave face so as not to make it harder for her friend.Then when we got to the car there were tears and lots of them.She has plenty of other friends but she hasnt been herself and didnt want to go to school today.We will still have contact by phone,letter and email but I guess its not the same is it?I'll just do my best to keep her positive

My little Preschool Graduate

2007-12-05T10:53:00.000+11:00

We have been so busy and Ive been slack and havent taken the time to blog

Here is my Miss Kayley.She officially graduated from preschool yesterday.How funny is that?Would be a worry if she failed LOL.Her preschool is just the best and I cant thank the teachers enough for making this preschool year such an enjoyable one.She has 2 teachers who job share and they are just so genuine and caring.

We are off to the paediatric opthamologist shortly for a review so fingers crossed that goes well

Lauren is also auditioning for the school talent quest today.She has made up her own dance..God love her.There are loads of kids auditioning so not sure if she will get in but I love that she is giving it a go all of her own accord.I have had no input at all except to put some rollers in her hair last night LOL.I forgot to take a pic this morning.I asked her if she is nervous at all and she said "No! Why would i be nervous Mum? It will be fun!".I think thats great and wish I had confidence like that as a kid or even now..I would be packing it.She is auditioning in front of all the infants kids

Anyways...will be off for now.Will have to make sure I blog some more especially with the holidays coming up soon

Sleeping Sisters

2007-11-10T23:32:00.000+11:00

Have had a busy week this past week and have a bit of blogging to catch up on but its late and im half asleep.So I'll just pop this pic of my girls that i took this week sleeping (In my bed mind you) Quite often one of them will end up in our bed,usually Kayley.I will wake and shes in my arms and I dont even remember her coming in.Kinda nice to wake up too.She says I move over for her but I must just do it in my sleep.Although we discourage this , when it happens we dont make a fuss.I've learnt that life can be to short to sweat the small stuff.

Anyway on this night both girls made there way into our bed and did not want to go back in their own for some reason.Now 4 in the bed doesnt quite work especially when i seem to have to share my half with them LOL.So this night I couldnt be bothered with the hassle of putting them back and just went and crashed on the lounge.I think it was about 4.30 am anyway

When I woke and went in, this was this is what i found...so cute

How to explain Kayleys attire LOL.She has a tracky jacket on.She is in love with her new Chino dress and insisted on wearing it to bed but she got a bit cold LOL.This is a pic of her earlier in her own bed when i remembered to check on her at about midnight and covered her up.Yes i probably shouldnt be lurking around with my camera at midnight but you have to capture these moments

Now lastly a pic of the beloved dress which has been worn so much this past week.Lauren has got this same dress and Kayley so wanted one as well.I think it will be a very worthwhile purchase

It turned out not to be such a short post after all.Gosh I can waffle when im tired.Nighty Night!

The perfect gift~Forever Friends~

2007-11-04T00:04:00.000+11:00

I am so fussy when i buy pressies.I will often spend ages searching for just the right thing.

Laurens best friend is moving interstate next month.They are really close and play everyday at school and have had sleepovers and will no doubt miss each other lots.We will make sure we stay in touch though.

I already have her this cute little ornamental flowerpot with pretend pink daisies that says"BEST FRIENDS" and a gorgeous card that comes with a book mark (she loves to read too) with a lovely friendship verse

I have been keeping my eye out for that something else and today i found it..a little book with the most gorgeous illustrations of 2 little girls.It s just perfectThe content goes like this~

~FOREVER FRIENDS~

To My Forever Friend

From your Forever Friend

I've been thinking about you and me
and how our friendship came to be
how long ago I hoped that we
could be forever friends

And now i look back on those days
and smile at all the little ways
we made the tough times seem okay
At times we'd laugh so hard and then
We'd catch our breath and start again
Cause having fun comes easy
when your with forever friends

Together we've shared wondrous sights
When all the world seemed still and right
And on those days when rain would fall
And life was not much fun at all
You've always been there to take my call

Life's winding roads may take us far
But if we're apart let each bright star
Remind us how blessed we are
To be forever friends

And when the stars shine down we'll see
Perhaps by fate, or destiny
A friendship that was meant to be
Forever friends

Cheers

Egg Friends

2007-11-03T20:14:00.001+11:00

Yesterday I did the grocery shopping and Kayley decided she was going to help pack away.She grabbed the container we have in the fridge for eggs and said" Oh look Mum there is only one egg left.Its looks lonely.I think it needs some friends.

She proceeded very enthusiastically, unpacking the carton of eggs and counting as she went.

One friend,two friends,three friends......we got up to eight friends and the next one hit the slate.The look on her face was priceless "Ooops ...one broken friend" she said before we both started giggling.

So cute and just an example of how she cracks me up all the time.

Love is .....

2007-10-28T23:09:00.000+11:00

....making gingerbread men for/with your kids when you are crook and just want to rest LOL

Today Kayley was nagging to go swimming.I think she really just wanted to try her new cossie out.I came down with a bad cold last night so last thing i felt like doing was taking them out.We filled up our little clam and it kept the girls amused for yonks

Lastly a pic of my crafty kid and her latest project

Cupcakes,fairywands and twirly dresses

2007-10-13T23:39:00.000+10:00

We had Laurens birthday party today and she had a ball.Her actual birthday isnt until Tuesday so I'll enjoy her being 7 for a few more days

I am half asleep sitting here writing this post.Its been a busy week and the kids go back to school on Monday.I also painted Laurens room this week and sorted through all her things so her room is all spick now LOL.

We had the party here at home.Bar the normal family parties you tend to have when they are babies and toddlers, I have always steered clear of doing the home party and opted for somewhere else to trash LOL.This year (although they dont have one every year) I have had 2 of the kids parties here and its wasnt that bad at all.

Today we kept the girls entertained with lots of games..Pass the parcel,Pin the tail on the unicorn,musical statues and of course a pinata chock full of treats (it had to be Bratz)Thats actually the reason why Lauren wanted the party here,so she could have lots of good old fashioned games and prizes.

The cupcakes and fairywands we made were a mega hit.The girls and I made them together yesterday.I iced and they decorated.It was great fun.Lauren is also having her best friend sleep over and i have just managed to get them settled (girls do love to natter)Anyway I better head off for some shut eye

All ready to partay in our fav dress

Smiley girl
This pic is of Hayden is from last week.Didnt manage to snap him today and didnt want to leave him out either LOL

Spring Days

2007-10-03T14:00:00.000+10:00

Well,we are right into spring now so thought Id try to give my blog a little makeover hehe.Was getting a bit dull I think

We are the first week into school holidays.Love it! The summer gear is out and the weather is fab.We really havent done much so far.Jase went up to his parents over the long weekend.His mum is going through a tough time as her brother has terminal cancer so he thought the visit would cheer her up

Ness & Craig came up on sunday with my niece and nephew and as their birthday is the day after Haydens (they are twins) ,Lauren is in a week and a half and mine was 2 days after Haydens (which is the day after Maddy & Connors ..if you follow)it was pressies all round.They also gave K a pressie too as they didnt want her to feel left out.How nice! We had a BBQ and a really nice day.

Its also been a week for catching up with old friends as well.Out of the blue I heard from an old friend.We lost contact years ago and Ive often wondered how she was doing so that was really special to hear from her.Also been in touch with a few other friends too..All thanks to the wonders of the internet.

Okay well I better be off.Ill finish off my posting a pic of my cowgirl Kayley.I took this shot earlier before she raced back inside to play.She saw this hat whilst shopping the other day and would not take it off. I called it a cowboy hat and was quickly corrected.."Its Cowgirl Mum..NOT boy" I stand corrected LOL

Happy Birthday Hayden

2007-09-24T22:39:00.000+10:00

Cant believe my boy is 10 today.Where have the years gone.Please dont make the next 10 go as fast

He had a sleepover party on Saturday night with 5 friends.OMG who would have known boys could gas bag so much.A nice group of boys but a few that are quite loud LOL.I notice it as Hayden is a fairly quiet kid.Anyway i think they were up most of the night but had a ball which is what its all about

He got spoilt and didnt want to go to school today

Here are some pics.The first is him blowing out the candles on his choc mud Pokemon cake.I made it and it was a disaster that came together well in the end

Last is of him at his choice of venue for dinner tonight..Lonestar.He got this brownie for free (YUM!) and cacked himself laughing when the staff all got together and sang happy birthday whilst half the people dining there joined in as well

Happy birthday my beautiful boy..Love you so much!

The damage

2007-09-24T22:26:00.000+10:00

Well we got to take the bandage off Kayleys chin yesterday

It doesnt look near as bad now its stitched up.Very lucky where it is, as although it will scar I think looking front on you will barely notice it

Been telling her to slow down bit and at preschool.She is steering clear of the sand pit (dont want sand getting amongst the stitches)and climbing

Ive also been telling her to please dont touch it and explained about how germs can cause infection .She told me today that at preschool they all wanted to look and some even wanted to touch it but she told them not to as it is germs LOL She got it round the wrong way but at least we didnt have any grotty hands on her chin

Cheers

An accident

2007-09-22T21:36:00.000+10:00

My poor Kayles had an accident on friday at preschool.She somehow slipped from the top of the climbing thingo and has caught it on something on the way down.
2 gashes on her chin an inch each.She had 6 stitches

I was quite shocked when i saw it..It looked deep and lots of blood.I tried to remain calm for her but couldnt stop the tears when she was having the needles in her chin.She was trying so hard to be brave but it obviously hurt a lot

The preschool were fantastic as they always are.The assistant came in the car with us so she could hold the wound

So proud of my big little brave girl.You have always been a tough little cookie

Daisy Chains

2007-09-02T22:57:00.000+10:00

What a fun packed weekend my girls and I have had

Jase has gone away with his brother and Hayden for a boys weekend leaving us girls to do what we do best..girly stuff

The girls and I have done so much.Lea and Bai came shopping with us on Sat to one of my fav shops.We even managed to find a nice stationary shop so Lauren was in love with that and already asking when we can go back

Then we headed off to my SILS.The girls had fun playing with their cousins Kymberlie and Selena and (Aunty)Sylvia had asked us to pack our pjs in the hope that her and i would have some drinkies after (trying) to get all the girls to bed.We had chinese and they took over 2hrs to deliver.Had we of known up front we would have picked up.Anyway we had a great night but I had 1 glass of wine and I crashed on the lounge.Great company I turned out to be LOL must have been all that shopping

Today we went shopping again but this time just some groceries and then visited my parents.Was so great to see them as they have been away travelling for months and got back friday night.My brothers called in with their families so was great to see them too

We did lots of other little fun things as well.Lauren said tonight she didnt want the weekend to end

Here a pic of the girls today.Yes it was a bit to cold to go swimming which they soon discovered after pestering me to let them go in.The weather was beautiful but the water was COLD .They are here with my brothers gorgeous 8 week old Jack Russell puppy.Her name is Roxy and we could have easily brought her home.Poor thing didnt get left alone

Lastly is a pic of Kayles making Daisy chains

Pink Party for a Princess

2007-08-26T21:46:00.000+10:00

My friend Lea put on a lovely pink party today in celebration of Angel Avas fourth birthday, down beside the river.It was gorgeous day today..the best we've had in a long time and the sun was in full force and considering it is still technically winter I think we may have had some help

Lots of nice pink food and the gorgeous Bailea (Leas 3yr old daughter) made a yummy pink birthday cake(pink inside and out btw)

We took a plate full of pink treats and the kids had lots of fun playing

Our heart goes out to you Sheye and family .You are always in our thoughts but even moreso during this extra difficult time.Your beautiful girl is sure to be dancing with lots of pink balloons atm.Happy Birthday Princess!

Thank You Lea for for inviting us and for such a thoughtful celebration

Love Kaz

We love books!

2007-08-06T19:17:00.000+10:00

We are big book lovers in this house

I dont know why it has taken us so long but we have only recently discovered our local library.Well not discovered it as I have always known its been there but we've never ventured inside to actually look.Took the kids there on Saturday and got them each their own library card.We went home and did lots of reading and they were so keen we ventured back on sunday for more books.

Lauren is completing the NSW reading challenge along with lots of other kids and we had a bit of catching up to do.Hayden got some mags,Pokemon ,Spiderman and Batman books.Kayley got lots of early reader books

They loved that they got to scan their own books on our way out.How excitement LOL.They were asking if we can go back again and i told them Im happy to take them to the library as often as they like.Hoping the novelty doesnt wear off too quick

Cheers

My Scrapper Girl!

2007-07-28T23:03:00.000+10:00

Lauren has fallen in love with scrapbooking.She has always loved craft and she LOVES stationary. The girl has so many notepads and fancy pens she could open up her own shop.Its funny because they are the sort of things i liked as a girl too.She would much rather be let loose in Office works than have the latest toy

Recently she gave up dancing.Was a bit sad to see her let it go after all the work she has put in.She really did enjoy it but i think in her mind it was time to move on.

She had been pestering me for ages to try and get her into a proper scrapbooking class.I have never actually put my hand to it myself although I know i could if i found the time ,so it was something that was her own idea

Anyway I got her into a class these school hols just past and OMG she absolutely loved it and filled up nearly a whole book within the following week.Next month she starts Scrapper school which is 2hrs every friday night.She cant wait.I better get my butt into gear and order some photos.They usually just sit on the computer and rarely make it into print

This pic is from about 6mths back.I havent taken many pics lately and will share this one as i came across it recently and thought how nice it was

Cheers

Ive neglected my Blog

2007-07-22T21:59:00.000+10:00

I havent written in a while.Sometimes I wonder if anyone would be interested in reading about my mundane life anyway LOL.Not that Im complaining..Im a happy girl.I just think from the outside it cant seem too interesting LOL.Hubby says my blog is sad (not the unhappy sad..the kinda daggy sad IYNWIM)Hes just stirring of course but it doesnt exactly encourage me

Anyway..kids were back to school last week after 2 weeks holidays so we are getting back to the normal routine.Oh how nice the holidays are.We went bowling and caught up with friends and had days at home

Cheers

Dreams!

2007-07-02T20:24:00.000+10:00

Thought Id share my all time fav song.I would probably have been around 8 when i first heard it.Dad loved his music and he loved it loud (he still does)and Fleetwood Mac " Rumours" album was a fav.I could listen to this over and over and still to this day i have never tired of it.It has been covered quite a bit over the years.The Corrs do a great version but the original sung by Stevie is my fav.Here is a fairly recent live version.Not quiet as good as the original.Stevie has been singing this song for 30years now

Here is a video clip.Another version by Deep Dish but with Stevies Voice.This is more upbeat.Quite like this

My Man Hayden

2007-06-26T13:00:00.000+10:00

Decided to share a pic of my beautiful boy Hayden.I havent posted a pic of him yet.You will find that Little Miss Kayley features a lot on this blog .This is due to the fact that she hasnt started school yet so she is around a lot and also she LOVES having her pic taken and has only got to see the camera and she will be grinning from ear to ear.My other 2 are not quite as obliging and i am more likely to hear groaning

This pic was taken only a few weeks ago.Hayden will be 10 this year which is really hard to believe as the years have just flown by so quick.He is a sweet,affectionate boy although with some attitude coming through lately LOL.Fingers crossed that its just a passing phase

Cheers

The haircut

2007-06-20T20:38:00.000+10:00

Lauren has decided to give up dancing so she now has free reign on her hair.Today we got it cut into a bob and got a light fringe cut in.She is like me and has a longish forehead so i think this suits her.She also has the knottiest hair on the planet so this will keep me sane on school mornings.I managed to snap this quickly before she hopped into bed.She is not keen on having her pic taken lately.I think she finds mummy with camera annoying LOL

Can someone tell my kids...

2007-06-19T22:52:00.000+10:00

...that its winter.I have tried.It was freezing here today.I pick Hayden and Lauren up from school and they have their short sleeve polos on,having taken off their jumpers sometime during the day.They make me shiver just looking at them .I had a hard time getting Lauren to even wear a jumper today.She told me she will just take it off when she gets to school LOL.I said as long as I look like I send you off to school properly.

Kayley also strips off when she gets home from preschool.Today they made vegetable soup and when i picked her up I was greeted with a cup just for me.She drew the picture below at home for me today.It is the two of us and also picked me a flower from our sparse weed garden...We do have one tree that is flowering beautifully and im not even sure what its called so thats where my flower came from.

Kayley wanted to wear her thongs up to the school to pick up Lauren and Hayden (picture rain,puddles everywhere and freezing)and when I told her she couldnt ,that she would need to wear covered in shoes she told me not to boss her around.Cheeky Devil!

SISTERS!

2007-06-09T23:53:00.001+10:00

I grew up with brothers and always though how nice it would be to have a sister

Little did i know what the future held .Last year my sister Ashley came into my life.Not in the best of circumstances but a blessing in disguise to say the least.It's certainly up there as one of the biggest shocks of my life.

This pic was taken last year on the first night we met.With a huge 22yrs between us i am easily old enough to be her mum

Ash was only 13yrs old when this pic was taken.Very hard to believe.I have to remind myself how old she is as she seems very mature for her age.We hit it off instantly..a natural rapport but i feel guilty..guilt that i dont make enough time for her.We do try to get together.We go out the 2 of us and have dinner and chat and chat.My children adore her and its no wonder why

The weeks seem to slip by and i haven't made the effort.Yes i've been busy but how long does it take to pick up the phone and say hello.

I feel like I should be making up for lost time and i'm not.I'm not taking my own advice ..as Ive put in the header of this blog.Im not taking time to stop and smell the roses

You are beautiful Ash (inside and out).I love ya!

Much Love

Rainy Days

2007-06-08T10:37:00.000+10:00

Its been pouring down on and off since yesterday.Feels like winter is finally here as its real chilly.

Much to my dismay ,I discovered I had a big hole in the sole of my boots yesterday when the water poured in and soaked into my sock..YUK! Must get a new pair.Had to change into sneakers and Kayley asked why am I wearing my running shoes. I dont normally "do" sneakers unless Im exercising which is 'never " these days LOL (note to change that real soon before i need a new wardrobe)

This morning Miss K came in and i was already up and getting ready.She said "Mum hop back into bed, I want a cuddle.I hopped back in and wrapped my arms around her.OH..I could just do that all day

She is home from preschool today.She says she is not well but i know the real reason is she wants to spend the whole day with me.She only goes for 2 and a half hours each day so what the heck..I let her stay home

Cheers
Kaz

I wish ...

2007-06-08T10:32:00.000+10:00

Yesterday Kayley noticed a new invite on our fridge and our convo went like this

K~Whos birthday is this?
Me~ Thats an invitation to Coreys birthday party
K~ but he cant have a birthday.He's only a baby
Me~He's turning 1
K ~ Oh (giggle)
How old are you mum?
Me~How old do you think I am?
K ~ mmmm 18
Me~ I LOVE you!

Sand and Stone

2007-05-27T22:55:00.000+10:00

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT.
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE.
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND:

“TODAY MY FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.”

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH .

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.

AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

“TODAY MY FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE.”

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS FRIEND
ASKED HIM, “AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?”

THE OTHER FRIEND REPLIED
“WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT.”

We have just had a fairly quiet weekend.Hayden went to a sleepover party at a good friends house last night and he was going to Laserzone so no doubt would have had a ball.On the way home from droppping him off, the girls and i stopped at our local park and had a play..well they had a play and i took a few pics .It was getting close to tea time and was quite windy (hence the messy hair)with a chill in the air .Kayley still wouldnt put her jacket on.She never seems to feel the cold much..unlike me

2. Four of my favourite local places
3. Four of my favourite foods
4. Four of my favourite international places
5. Four name's of people I am tagging

1.Ive only ever had 2 jobs in my life.

Working at McDonalds from age15 whilst at school and kept it for about a year into my first proper job

Working in a bank from leaving school up until I had my second child so over 13yrs.I did everything from Junior to bank manager but my fortay was Lending.I only took this job to tide me over until I decided what I really wanted to do...so much for that idea LOL

2.Four of my fav local places.

Mmm thats hard.I would say down by the river, a local park around the corner,The 5k walking track down at the Lakes (although i never manage to drag myself down there) and a park just a bit up towards the mountains

3.Four fav foods

Gosh, sadly this will be easy Chocolate,Cake,Chicken caesar salad & chinese.Do i have to stop at 4?

4.Four international places.

I have only ever been O/seas once (half a life time ago )to Bali but i guess if i had a choice it would be

Disneyland (for my kids )
Hong Kong
Hawaii
Paris

Hayden has told me he would like to go to Japan as thats where they make Mario games LOL

5.Who am I tagging.Not sure if I'm doubling up here

Scooter Days

2007-05-18T16:48:00.000+10:00

Thought I would share this part of our day

One day some 3 months ago Kayley asked me could she ride her scooter into the school where we go to pick up Hayden and Lauren each day.Im sure I normally would have just said no but this wasnt just any ordinary day.It was the day after Avas passing (the beautiful daughter of an amazing lady I know via an online mums group)

http://avarosemeyer.memory-of.com/.

My answer was "Yes,if you want to ride your scooter sweetie..you ride it"

We put it in the boot and parked far enough away for her to have a good ride. We have since done this nearly every weekday.Kayley loves it and is quite a little terror on 2 wheels.Im sure people step to the side when they see her coming for fear they will be knocked out LOL

Thank You sweet Ava...for helping us to appreciate the little things and not let the opportunity pass us by

Love Kaz

Well i havent really had anything exciting to post and today is no different really

I did have a nice day though.We had open day at the kids school.Got to see all their bookwork and they are always so proud.Kayley didnt go to preschool so she could come along.Once again i forgot my camera.Doh! Must start to post some pic soon

Then the school had a walkathon.You had to do 8 laps.Lauren did 10 and would've kept going if they had let her LOL.She has a real competitive streak that girl

We had lunch and then an early mark.

I then did a huge clean out of Kayleys room.Tomorrow i will tidy the clothes.How darn exciting is that? LOL

Will post something a bit more spesh tomorrow

Listening

2007-05-16T19:34:00.000+10:00

Do you ever have those days when the kids just seem to have trouble "listening" or rather just doing what they are told and you feel like tearing your hair out.

We had one of those mornings today where I struggled to get them to do the basic things..get up,get dressed,have breaky & clean teeth..oh and not to squabble and fight LOL

As we were driving to school having left behind our house that looked like a bomb had hit despite me being up for 2 hours I decided to have a little chat." You guys have to listen to mum.I cant be asking for you to do things over and over and you have to stop the squabbling with each other ..Do you understand? I got no answer.I asked them what I had just said.They couldnt answer as you guessed it..they were not listening LOL

Oh well, tomorrow is a new day

Preschool Open Day

Today was open day at Kayleys Preschool for education week.We just love her preschool.Its part of a local public school and she attends a morning session from 9 to 11.30 each weekday.She has a ball

I spent some of the morning with her there today.No pics as I was in such a rush this morning i forg0t and when we got there Kayles said " Oh mum you should have brang (her words) your camera.They had a portfolio for us to look at with a gorgeous pic of my miss K on the front.We sat and played with playdoh.We decided to use the letter shapes and Kayley chose the word LOVE .We also made flowers and love hearts.Ooh playdoh is so much fun LOL.Then we did a painting and played an educational game on the computer

Last but not least we heard the class sing and watch them dance.The parents were in hysterics.They were all so cute.A few of the mums pointed out how good Kayleys dance moves were and commented on her hip action.Lets just say my baby girl doesnt do anything by halves

Love Kaz

Happy Mothers Day!
