Can't wait!

I am so looking forward to saturday!!! It is my girls night and also the stampin up party! I have my list of orders that is sooo huge!!! All I can say is that I am lucky that Chris has gotten his tax return back, and I am all set! Am soo excited, Kimberley is coming, and I have so missed her company. I have known her for 18 years now , (although that is hard to admit!) and we have seen each other through some pretty dramatic shit!
The boys are all heading away on saturday morning up to Orange after a stop at mums for Janika's first birthday party.
We had my brother, his wife and my nephew Hamish here for dinner on saturday night. The weather was still pretty crap, but they came anyway, and we had roast beef...mmm..... not as good as roast pork, but still good, as well as some very low-fat (not) raspberry cheesecake! yum yum!
I am going for my facial today, 1 hour of pampering!!!! Only slight setback is that I must take Zak with me. He has a new book, and will hopefully be a goood little man for me, a bribery lunch of mc donalds has been promised for good behaviour.
Take care!

weekend is here

The weekend is here, and this usually involves saturday morning swimming lessons for the two rascals, But since this morning was windy, raining and freezing, We decided to skip it. I dont want the kids catching a cold with the weather changing so dramatically so frequently.
Angus has a bit of a cold anyway, and his nose seems to be running like a tap some times during the day..... I dont want it worse. He is having his nap now, and thank goodness is still sleeping. The rain has hit again and the wind is still ferocious. Driving hard freezing cold rain is not good for anyone.
Tonight my brother and his wife, and their little boy are heading over to our place for dinner... Roast beef....mmmm.... cant hardly wait! I havent seen my nephew since he was 5 days old leaving the hospital after he was born. He is about 8 weeks old now...
Take care and stay warm!

Bliss!

My first week of holidays has come to a close, and, after a visit to floriade yesterday, I am feeling quite content. I am glad that we got some rain this week, even if we did get huge hail with it. The boys are healthy and We are all alive.

Zak is on school holidays next week, so we have plans to go to the movies on monday morning, lunch with a friend, visiting more friends in the afternoon, and then swimming intensive program in the evening. Zak is looking forward to having to not go to school, I think he is a bit worn out.

I took this pic yesterday at Floriade. Angus and I went with mum, and even though it was windy, it wasnt too cold. The flowers were all a bit dirty looking from the rain, but still quite pretty. Angus got a new jumper, which he didnt want to take off for ages!

Zak is on a school excursion today to see Aladdin at Belconnen High. He was so looking forward to it when he left this morning.

Thats about it from us. Cant wait for craft class on thursday next week, its a free day so anything goes, and cant wait to see the results!

Also posting the pic of the hail from the other day, had trouble loading it with the last blog entry.

Hail Stones

Yesterday afternoon we had a rather almighty hail storm. It lasted for about 15 minutes, and started out with the regular size little hail stones, and graduallly got to really big ones. I grabbed some from the ground (risking life and limb) to show the boys when they got home. I have taken alot of pics of the boys with them , And have posted the one of Angus holding two of them. They were amazing, the noise phenomenal and the coverage awesome! it looked like everything had turned white!
The weather today is still shitty, windy, rainy and cold, but hey, thats spring isnt it! Hope all the trees we planted last weekend are all right, but we cant check on them until the rain and wind stops. We had over an inch of rain yesterday, and today doesn't look much drier. Good day for scrapping. Wonder if we will still go to floriade tomorrow?

HOLIDAYS!!!!

Well, I have to say that I am really enjoying my holidays. On monday I went out for lunch with some lovely friends, and also caught up with some more friends for morning tea. It was a very busy day, But definately enjoyable! Today, however, I have done my workout in the gym, and am now going to have a day to myself to do nothing at all!!! well, maybe something! I am going to try to get some more cross stitch done, and also some more scrapping. Maybe read some of my new book, and otherwise, maybe a nanna nap in the afternoon!

Tomorrow I am going down to the beauty spa for a facial, and then not much else either! Next week will be a bit different though. Zak will be on school holidays and we are going to the movies on monday and then to lunch with a very dear friend.

the ppics were taken last weekend, the boys were out flying their kites, and having a great time. Such beautiful weather on saturday and sunday.

Hope all is good,

Cards

A few weeks ago, we made cards for christmas. I had a great time, and thought i would post some on here for you to see. Let me know what you think!

Spring

I am so undeniably glad that spring has arrived. Today was such a lovely day, even if it did start out at -2C.Last weekend we readied the vegie gardens for planting again, and it was fun. They look ready and I am busting to plant, but I have to wait until next weekend. Cant wait for all our home grown veges again this year.

Tomorrow i have the card craft class again, and we are making an Off the Page Hanging frame. I know ill be using mine for fathers day on sunday. It is always great fun to have friends over and make stuff. Cant wait. Ill try to take some piccys again of the finished products.

The piccy is of our view from the back at sunset last week I think. It was not the best sunset, but came up pretty fantastic on the pics I was using my new tripod and experimenting. Had heaps of fun.

Thats about it.
