Freakin' Out!

Something I don't do often is freak out. I always seem to be the one who has it all figured out and can pretty much handle anything head on.. With a past like mine I kind of learnt how to make the most of what I had and savour the good memories in quite possibly the worst situations.
With all that said, it's something I have taken into adulthood and may be partly the reason why I blog. I see myself as a positive person and like to...

Our dirty little secret..
Over the last 5 years our backyard has turned into a tip. Here in Bacchus Marsh there is no hard rubbish removals and our shire does not offer tip vouchers. For a single parent to fork out hundreds of dollars for rubbish removals is near inpossible, but with help from the family tex benifit mid-year one off payment, we made it work. $480 dollars for a bin to finally get rid of our dirty little secret!
So that is what...

To perfection..

"Let me sing" the little one said..
and so she did..
"We are the Navy Blues,
we are the old dark navy Blues,
we're the team that never let's you down,
we're the only team old Carlton knows.
With all the champions,
they like to send us, we'll keep our end up,
And they will know that they've been playing,
against the famous old dark Blues!"

Something New & Something FREE!

Jiedyn returns to school tomorrow for the second half of his first year in grade Prep.
Jie went to bed tonight excited about seeing his teacher and school friends tomorrow. Brushing his teeth and tucking himself in straight after dinner.
Tonight after watching a dreadful Aussie series you probably read about while on twitter tonight called The Shire, I was going to watch one of my all time favorite weekly programs called Four Corners....

Record.. Get your Record!

This morning I woke up so un-motivated. Matt was out running errands all day and all the kids seemed to do was argue and fight over everything. I sent them both to they're rooms for an afternoon sleep after lunch which Nevaeh fell into rather quickly. Jie, no, no afternoon sleep. It seems that these days he has an answer for everything..
By the time Nevaeh woke up the house was semi clean and two loads of washing had been washed....

Now I'm thinking - Play Group!

Nevaeh has been getting really bored at home lately so I pulled out one of the most messiest toys in the house - her Geometric Stacker. As you can see from the photo there are a couple of rings missing (which is to be expected after having it for 2 years) but that didn't stop her today from showing us her color coordination and shape organisation skills. I was so very impressed with her and (for once) she was very proud of herself...
Imagine..

Three years ago to this very day a beautiful soul left this earth. Today I am not sad, I'm very much glad that our beloved Nana was set free from her horrible reality and believe that she is now in heaven with her creator. You see, our Nana was treated disrespectfully while on this earth by the ones she loved so dearly.

Sweet Memories on Saturday..
This is a video I captured on my phone when Jiedyn was just 2 years old. As you watch it note that he doesn't know how to jump yet.. He just moves his arms as if his feet are coming off the ground!
So sweet..
This post has been auto posted as my Dad, my uncle, Jie and me are all at the footy today.
So enjoy...

A Hunk-of-Junk!

We always knew that there were monsters in our house. And the last place we'd ever think of looking would be in our recycling box. But today we rammaged through boxes, papers, bottles and saw potential.
I added glue sticks, markers, and rulers to the table and soon the monsters were coming together.
Jiedyn found an egg carton which made a fabulous monster..
He named him Freddie!
I helped Nevaeh make a monster out of...
