Tonights Special.

The boys ordered in tonight, pizza and movies.
While us ladies went out..
Mums are always prepared, visiting the book shop before hand.
We ordered our drinkies, a slushy for Miss 3 and a Mascato for me!
And embraced the camera..
Dinner was next and would you believe she ordered fish and chips? Out of everything on the menu.. Bloody Fish 'n Chips. But I must admit, she did eat it with her knife and fork.
For dessert...

Our Wedding Album
Click the pic to enlarge it
For the past three days I have been working on our very own wedding album.
This friend and fellow blogger showed me this great site to make photo books and now I'm hooked!
I thought it would be a great gift to give to the grandparents and great grandparents who couldn't be there.
For three days I have been editing photo's, creating layouts and thinking of headings, subheadings and text to...

My First Step Up Class
On Friday I took my first step-up's class which looks something like this..
I did with two of my friends I Gym with and they were really good at it. Because it was an advance class it was a little hard to keep up with them in the second half of the workout, so I decided to just do it on the floor without the step in some of the harder parts. I never gave up.. I was so proud of myself as that morning I think I thought of every possible excuse not to go, but I defeated the voice in my head and did it. I'm so glad I did.....

Pizza Hut with Uncle Al

Last night I promised Jie I'd take him somewhere he'd never been before. He said excitedly "Like China?" I shook my head, "Like Asia?" I shook my head again "Just go to sleep, you'll see in the morning."
We get into Ballarat today and Jie turns to me and asks "Do people here speak our language?" Bahahahaha! After explaining we were in Ballarat he saw his Uncle Al and said "It never gets this cold in Australia!"
We escaped...

Earthquake Shake.

Tonight, while on the phone to my Dad I felt my very first earthquake shake.
To prove we're all okay here are a few asleepy snaps!
With all the earthquake status posts rolling in, saying where it was felt, all I wanted to sing was "I've been everywhere man..."

A Righteous Performance..

Look at that confidence!
My first Bacchus Marsh Primary School Assembly.
The National Anthem.
A few rewards.
A few tunes by the preppies.
A few more awards.
And proud house chant.
It was all kinds of wonderful....

38- Make Lasagna.

I did it! I made lasagna!
Okay so not the most perfect lasagna I admit, but it smelt like lasagna and tasted like lasagna!! It took me over an hour to make as I really wanted to perfect it for my three judges..
Comment's from the Judges were:
Nevaeh:
"Mmmm, Yum!"
Jiedyn:
"I only like the crunchy bits.."
Matt:
"Where's the rest?"
I'm really quite happy with how it turned out and can now, very proudly, tick it off my...

You Bring Color To My Life.

I was listening to a few songs this morning while the rest of the house were off busy doing other things. One of the songs in my rather oldish collection was a song by B*Witched. Okay I admit it, I still have they're whole album with I brought when I was 12. But that's not the point.. The song I was listening to was called, Like a Rose and while I was in my own little world sitting on the couch my little bee come to sit on my lap, (which...

Nigger Please..
Tonight I thought I was going to have a relaxing night it. Kids in bed at 6.30pm, husband at Bingo with his Mum and me free to curl up on the couch with a good book. Just as the clock struck 10pm the walls crumbled! Nevaeh out of bed, Jie screaming in pain and Matt walking into a house of ciaos. Winter is turning my life into a nightmare. I had a chat to Jie who was in severe pain with his very first experience of an earache. Nevaeh was...

Timberrr..
Today Jiedyn went back to school after having a long weekend off. I quite enjoyed having him home the last few days and so too did Nevaeh. Now bored and frustrated without anyone to chase her up and down the hallway or take cars from, Nevaeh started pulling out the Video's and building them as if they were blocks. It didn't bother me but instead gave me an idea..
It wasn't long before Nevaeh was laughing and wanting to rebuild...
