YAHOOOOOOOOO

Yes I am just a bit excited. After 3 months my oven was finally fixed on Tuesday. I must say that 3 months with out an oven has made it challenging especially when it broke down the week before Kirsty's birthday in November. And since then we have had Christmas, Makayla's birthday and other functions which I have had to use my oven. Thank goodness for Lyn (my mother in law)

So I went shopping today to buy a few things and well the lady asked if I was planning on baking. I think it was pretty obvious that I was going to be baking from the trolley load of cooking supplies I bought. YIPPEE YA HOOOOOOOOO.

Well this has been an extremely busy week for me. It seems that every meeting I go to I end up with a job. Cameron has now told me that I am not allowed to go to any more meetings as I don't know how to say NO. Well I think I might have to learn these words very soon.

Kirsty's school is holding a fund raiser on Saturday night for the Bush Fire Victims and the night is a Coffee & Cake evening. So I have put my hand up to do some baking. Thank you for my oven being fixed this week. So I have been madly cooking today plus doing my usual paid work. Which is just great that I can do this from home.

My friend Nicole is having a birthday on Saturday and our church is having a Progressive Dinner. And as it is her birthday it only seems fit that we would have dessert at her house. So we will be making chocolate mud cake and caramel tarts. Nicoles favourites. And I thought that maybe I would make an apple crumble and custard and possibly a bread & butter pudding. We will see how tomorrow goes.

Kirsty has her swimming carnival tomorrow so at some stage I will need to go and see my girl swim. She is pretty good now. She just recently finished swimming but got up to Squad Training. She may go back but I think she just needs a break. Makayla has been swimming for 3 weeks now and well she doesn't like strangers too much and for the first lesson she cried the whole half hour. And that was withme walking up and down in the pool with her. The last couple of weeks have been much better only crying for the first 5 minutes and then enjoying the rest of the lesson. She is a good little swimmer too with her Wahu jacket on but take it off and she still thinks she is a good little swimmer. But unfortunately she only stays up for a few seconds and down she goes.

Well best go and get back to my cooking. Will post some pictures of the girls in the next few days. Makayla is just growing up too fast and well Kirsty she has taken big girl tablets I think. I just want them to stop growing..................

I'm glad the oven is fixed but don't over do it or you might put yourself off baking and that would be a real shame. We are hoping to bake tomorrow . Enjoy!
