Hello again...

Mad house... my life at the moment in two words... but it is great!!!!!



What has been going on...



Lots....



School, kinder and childcare runs.... (i live in my car). Emilie gets her first report card next week and I am excited!!! She is really going so well at School. You think you know your own childs abilities, but she has even been surprising me! I can not believe how quickly she has begun to read! Jack is a HUGE reader, and i think Emilie is going to be the same. She already takes books onto the bus to read on the way to school!


Meals on wheels... first time in YEARS, like school, since I did this service. (where you deliver meals to older people still living in their own homes provided by the hospital) did it with a great friend and had a huge laugh the entire way. I had all the kids primed with this cheesy grin at each door - they got lollies and Hugh didn't put a foot wrong the entire trip (My three year old has turned into a bit of a monster recently) This is a photo of him with the meal about to go into someones house!

A mini-break (aka Bridget Jones) Went to the coast near Warrnambool. This photo of me was taken by me EARLY - see the sun rising in the background and I had been out before it was light!! at Petersborough... very nice little seaside town! Excuse the hair/face.... it WAS early

I have never been to the 12 apostles before... OMG.. they are like huge!!!! And so was the crowd! There was at least 7 helicopters buzzing in the sky and the photo below just shows how crowded it was!


This was taken at Warrnambool... cute kids.. must be their breading! I ate and exercised really well while away! Lean meats and lots of fruit where possible! Even went to a chocolate factory and wasn't tempted by the free samples!! (Not saying that my will power would have been as good if it was a allens lollies factory:-)

Study... (must be working cos it is making sense.. finally), Had my bi-annual hair cut and colour yesterday and got another assessment done while waiting, and waiting...

Sick of waiting for tradespeople... like really sick of waiting! Our family room is a brothel! The book case unpacked and Wall built waiting for the plaster! I hate nagging people to do what asked, but getting very sick and tried of this mess!!!

Rain... = Mud.... = Money.... to say we are happy to see the rain is a total understatement!!!!! Great to see!

Sex and the City.... going to see it tonight with a group of girls from Warracknabeal! Will report on my thoughts. Took the kids to see the new nardia movie last weekend in Warrnambool. Loved it! Kids loved it also!

Slow cooking... the ONLY reason i like winter is the food you prepare and eat in the cold months and have been using my Le Crusset pots heaps... any new recipe will be keen to see!!!

I am sitting here in jammies, better go and shower (and wash my new fur - Jodie - ) and back soon!

Hi - good to hear all's well in your world and yes you do have delightful children! Know what you mean about organising tradespeople - in the midst of some renos downstairs - painters, tilers, blind man! and so on. Have a great weekend. Z xx

Yay, great to see an update from you! Sounds like life is keeping you busy, but great to hear from you.

Those kids just get cuter in every post! You are one lucky mum. :-)

So nice to see you update again Kirsty, and it's even better to know that all is well with you and your lovely family.

Thanks for dropping by my blog too - and leaving a comment, much appreciated.

How are your studies going?
