Just for you Karen

here is the digger and the big hole and all the rain from last night. LOL

Sunny days, raining nights

Beautiful blue skies (just those little puffy white clouds), sun and humidity are what the days are made of and terrential rain at night. Last nights rain storm had both hubby and I jumping (yep JUMPING) out of bed as it came on so fast and heavy.

Well we are up (thanks to Jess who bet the alarm lol), and waiting for the digger. So excited. The backyard will never look the same again and I can't wait!!!

Freestyle crafting convention

I am booked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took a bit of fiddling around with popups etc but I finally made it LOL Can't wait for April - its gonna be fun fun fun. Check out the kiwiscraps website for more info. Now I just have to work extra hours to pay for it LOL

Yesterday was HOT!! Yep it was summer yesterday and it was lovely. We had the pool out for the kids and they basically spent the whole time playing in and around it and riding bikes until they were exhausted and played a little of playstation. Love those kinda days, There isn't too much fighting/discussions and they seem to just play so beautifully.

We got the shed moved thanks to FIL and Paul. There was just NO WAY that I was helping with that little job. Nuh uh. Too many snails, bugs and spider webs for my liking LOL And wow the backyard looks HUGE. The little garden shed had a leanto kinda thing attached to it and I didn't actually realise how much room it was taking up. The shed will be relocated to a 'corner' of the garden later.

That comet thingy

is avoiding us!! We have looked a couple of times and never see it. Again last night there was just too much cloud cover the 10 times that I walked outside to look!! *sigh* Will try again tonight. I love the pics on Karen's blog!!

I have it!!! I have it!!!

Council consent for the extension!! YAY!! We are all good to go now. So this weekend will be rather busy moving the shed and relocating the washing line but YAY!!!!! So very excited!!! A digger and a huge hole is first on the list.

Oh and the points thing is working. The scales were nicer to me this morning than they have been in a while. I was starving yesterday tho LOL Maybe that is why the two rums I had made me feel like it was a whole bottle LMAO.

We are back from the beach

Thanks for all your birthday wishes!! Jess and I had an awesome couple of days and were very spoilt. Ruth made a cool hat (check out her blog) and some yummy cakes for my birthday. Thanks also for the scrapping pressies guys. Love them!! BTW Nic the mojo has all gone - GONE to my hips LMAO.

Sunday we headed away to the beach for a week. We hired a bach and just relaxed and lay around the beach watching the kids play, and ate WAY to much. Drank a few rums too LOL. So this morning the scales were not nice to me!!! I love the beach, love the fun the kids have, love just watching them and their games etc. Shame that Mr Whippy was not around so much this year but we made up for his absence in trumpets LMAO. Came home yesterday to a meowing cat who had been well cared for but had obviously missed us as much as we missed him. We left blue skies and sunny weather and came home to 10 loads of washing and clouds and wind. Can't wait for next year. Oh and I even braved the water and had a swim. Go me!!!

blogger wants to play today

it seems. Yesterday blogger didn't want to play LOL

Happy birthday to my little brother in Ireland. Hope you have an awesome day and get thoroughly drunk! LOL I know you will.

3 more sleeps till Miss 3 turns 4!! She is almost bursting out of her skin with excitement.

We are back into the normal work routine. Hubby up and off to work and me working at home when I can grab the time. Have to train the girls again that when mummy has headphones on she is working!! LOL They have been pretty good tho.

Funny sort of day today. One that kinda reminds me of the Gold Coast in Aussie. Hot and sticky with the occasional heavy rain to cool everything off, then hot and sticky again. Well it started off wet wet wet and some friends almost packed up the tent and came home. Then it fined up into a beautiful hot sunny day (although very humid). Now those dark clouds are back and I am sure that they will time their downpour for the 5.00pm commuters!!

Why???

Did I forget to make this post??? well I think Tracy is right and it might have had something to do with too much rum and coke (or should that be gin and tonic wink wink lol).

Why??
did I drink too much rum and coke?
is it not a good idea to scrap while drinking said rum and coke?
was there so much chocolate and other assorted lollies on the table?
.....................
Oh and there were a few other 'why' questions that I think it is best just left now LOL

A new question for you tho is HOW many points do you think there is in a king size bar of cadbury black forest??

Hello 2007

Happy New Year!! and hello to 2007. Another year to make some new resolutions like loosing the 2kg that found me in the last couple of months, exercising more, be more organised, scrap more, spend less (LOL).

Looks like today summer has finally decided to make an appearance (except for the wind - when will that stop!!)

We had an awesome day at Nics on the 30th. Thanks Nic and Paul for being such wonderful hosts and filling me full of food, lollies and rum LMAO. Thanks also ladies for you your inspiration (I scrapped 2 single and 1 double layouts YAY!) and also all the yummy goodies that everyone brought to help find the mojo needed. No wonder my scales went up again!! LOL Great fun.

Quiet home day the last couple of days and today will probably the same, although we have been promising the kids to go to a movie and I need some shopping time without them to organise Miss nearly 4's birthday pressie.

Enjoy the sun if you have it.
