Our Anniversary.........

What a week!!!!!!! But the best way to end a great week was celebrating our wedding anniversary. Yes it was Cameron's and my 5th wedding anniversary. We spent the day together. I did have the opportunity to spend scrapbooking today but decided that this day only comes around once a year and I wanted to be with the one I love. And I LOVE my presents I got. I got a ring and another charm bracelet. Very spoilt...........

We spent the morning at the Coral Coast Christian School's Billy Cart Grand Prix. What a great event. We checked out the competition as next year Cameron is going to build us one. Kirsty ended up joining a team and got to race the big race.

We then spent the afternoon doing some mundane chores as we are getting our yard ready for Kirsty's big party next week. She is turning 10 so I have been planning for some time her party. We are having a dance party. I can't wait. Just imagine how Kirsty is..........

Best go and spent the last couple of hours with Cameron.

Weekend Activities

What a great weekend. Well it all started with a fabulous night of scrapping on Friday night as always. I so look forward to the night with the girls. I actually managed to get a page done on Friday night. And then on Saturday I got another one done. I have put one of the pages in the slideshow to the left. It is the Going, Going Gone page.
Cameron and I then got all dressed up and headed off to the Miss Bundy Thunder Ball Saturday night. And it was a great night. There was a great band playing but no dancing for us. Cameron didn't want to show up all those other guys trying to dance. LOL. And the best part was Cameron's work college won the Fundraising section and also the overall Miss Bundy Thunder. Congratulations Stephanie. You looked absolutely beautiful.
I plotted around the house on Sunday trying to work out what I was going to do this year for Christmas presents. Yes I know it is only November but there is just too many people to make things for so I really should have started sooner. I also did a bit of gardening. Which Makayla so willingly helped me with. We are trying to get the front yard and patio ready for Kirsty's BIG birthday party in a few weeks. She is turning the big 10. I just want to know where my little girl has gone. If you find her let me know.
I started back at work today and boy am I tied. Staring at a computer all day is hard work. LOL Anyway, I did enjoy being back and doing something different. Bring on Wednesday for my next big day I say.
Then tonight we went and saw Kirsty perform at the Gala Concert the school had on. She of course was great. And the other children, how great were they. I was amazed at what they were playing as well at their ages. And there were no screeches or squeaks.
So I think I might pack myself off to bed. Till next time.

Update

Well there has been a little delay on the commencing work. Hopefully next week I will be right into it. Cameron is already talking about renovating the kitchen and he also mentioned that we could maybe look at taking that trip to America. I have on a few occasions said that I would love to take the kids to Disneyland and also to see their family over their. But he always says no - too much money. You know he is an accountant..... LOL.

Anyway I have taken the opportunity the last couple of days to just sit and scrap. And that is what I did. I have spent the time finishing all those unfinished pages. I ended up finishing off about 25 layouts. I have used the KISS method. Maybe I can start on some new pages. I will keep you posted.

Have you seen my Kirsty......

My beautiful girl decided she wanted her hair cut. Well as you all know I so love Kirsty's long hair and never want her to cut it short. Well I decided that she is seconds away from turning 10 (yes that's right 10) and thought she is getting old enough to make some decisions for herself.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

She looks so more grown up now. Though I will share something with you. As Stef was making the first cut I had butterflies and knots in my stomach. But she looks just as beautiful. Don't you think???????????

These are her pigtails which I HAD to keep. And you know what I am going to do with them...... That's right put them in her album. It is a shame though as I cut her hair about a month ago and cut about 2 inches off it.

Best go and hug that girl again before she totally grows up and I miss out.

Lamingtons

Some time ago I was selling lamingtons for the Coral Coast Christian School. Well they are again doing a lamington fund raiser. So if you would like to purchase some lamingtons then drop me an email or leave a comment. I am sure they have the cake made and they (the parents) do the rest. And they will be as yummy as the last batch.

They are $7 for a dozen. Come on put some in your freezer or just eat them straight away. I just need to know by Wednesday 29 October so I can let the mums at the school know.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

One Week

That's right only one more week left until I start my training. Some would say that I am crazy but I am so looking forward to returning to work. I'm sure Cameron is thinking of reverse roles - me at work and him at home. Not going to happen he needs to learn how to cook.... LOL

Well best go and get the house all sorted before I loose my free days.

Busy Weekend

We have had a very busy weekend. We went camping with Bundaberg SDA Adventurers. Who you say, well it is like scouts but it is done through our church. We camped in tents at one of the leaders property. One for the boys and one for the girls. I was fortunate to be in the girls tent. (being that I am a girl I suppose) I don't think the girls got to sleep before 10pm and then they woke up at 5am.

All 7 girls needed to go to the toilet AT 5AM. I did tell them to tie it in a knot but as I was so tired I now realise I should have told them to put a peg on it. But I got out of bed and took them all to the toilet. Now you would think that since it was 5am that they would want to go back to sleep. NOOOOOOOOOOO, they decided that they needed to have a pillow fight.

Well I suppose camping is all about waking up early. But we did all have a great time. We finished up the weekend with a visit to Kelly's Beach. As you can tell from Kirsty she had a great time swimming in the sand. Yes I do think that some of the children forgot that water is for swimming in and sand is for building sand castles. ( I did tell Kirsty tonight that the police were likely to come and arrest her as she had stolen so much sand) LOL
