Update

Just an Update on out laptop/life/events!
We are waiting on a slip in the post to send our laptop away, so the journey has started it's just taking a little while to get it there!

Today I am typing this from our playstation 3! Marvelous piece of equipment it is!

On the weekend just gone we had Ben's work christmas party, usually i leave early and take the boys home. This time i decided to kick my heels up aswell. I got my mother dearest to come pick the boys up after the kiddies entertainment.
Bens employer's put on a big "do". They hire out one of the biggest entertainment centre's in town, put on food, live band, and kiddie entertainment. Not to mention the free beer and wine, and cheaper can's of spirits.
This year the kiddies had facepainting and a magic act. Blue eyes got his face done like a puppy (very cute until the lady showed him in the mirror and he wiped most of it away!) Cowboy was a bit scared of the funny ladies dressed up so he got red back spider on his arm! They also have someone dress as santa and give each child a prezzie!! Lots of fun for the whole family, just what christmas is all about.
The boys left at about 7.30pm after their dinner. So it was time for adult fun! Boy did we have some fun!! I had a few drinks..... Of free wine!! lol. We then went out with ben's co-workers to the local club. I haven't been in their for years, but it hasn't changed, just the youngen's look really really young, or i'm now looking really really old!! lol
None the less we had a great time, Ben's co-worker pulled me up on the dance floor to dance with her, my legs were really sore the next day. I'm really not use the partying!!
We had a couple hours sleep before our body clocks woke us up.. and we then picked up the boys, who had a blast staying at nanny's for the night with their cousins!


Not much else happening around here, getting ready for christmas and such. We've had heaps of tomatoes off our plants and our corn is just about done. Pumpkin vine keeps getting bigger but the pumpkins don't seem to be.. The grass is a little green from some rain last week, but we would all love some more, it's hot like our normal summer's are. But luckily we have air con, so if it gets tooo hot on it comes. I would prefer a pool sometimes but we've had so many "heated" (lol) converstaions about it that i think its time to leave it alone and just enjoy the air con... Or the sprinkler!

Hope your all surviving the heat (or the cool). :) xo

laptop... Grrr

I'm currently typing this from my mobile phone... Thankgod (sometimes) for technology! You see our laptop has decided to take a break... It must have thought it was getting used too much and wanted a holiday aswell! The video card in it is playing up again... Yes again! 6 months ago it did the same thing as now. So back to the shop it goes. It's still under warranty yay! So only cost for us is to send it to sydney for fixing! So my post's will be few and far between.. Fingers crossed its back not long after christmas! Hope your having better luck with technology! Xo :-)

Wonderful Woodgate.

We had another wonderful weekend away.

Again we did lots of swimming and playing!

This is cowboy and me at 4.30am ready to leave!

He was half asleep until i said we were going to go see grandma and grandad!!

Not sure if this is sunset or rise, still pretty anyway!

(It's at Woodgate)

Kangaroo's are everywhere in this little town.

The house's have hardly any fencing so they can get through, wonder around and eat.

The males are huge fella's, something i would not like to be cornered by.

This is one of the best spots in town to go swimming with the kiddies.

I think its called walkers point... Will have to check,

I know it's Walkers something

It's on the Burrum River, Burrum heads is on the other side.

Our cowboy and some of his cousin's on our walk.
This path leads right along the esplanade.
And i mean the whole way.
Its a great walk.





The beach..
Very windy, not great for much but to sit and watch.
We did have a swim, but it wasn't as bad as this when we went in.





All the boys having fun at the park.

Sooooo many shells to look at, we had lots of fun searching for pretty ones!

~~~~~~~

Well it's the first of December today,

So we were finally able to put up Christmas decorations.

Not that we have alot,

just enough to Christmas up the lounge room.

And i did finish the Advent calendar,

I will post some photo's of them all soon.

Hope you all had a great weekend as well :)

Photo Day

Some photo's from our weekend away last weekend.

We will be taking alot more this weekend, as we are going away again!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Enjoy the photo's :)

The boys had a bunk bed to climb and play on, this is the top bed!

Big day at the beach!

Poor Cowboy did not want to come home, so he put his and blue eye's floaties on in protest and fell asleep.

What a cute couple.

About 2 weeks ago,

we put out some parrot seed in our front garden.

(away from the dog!)

About a week apart we had a male king parrot appear,

Monday just gone we had the female appear.

Today we had them both appear!

King parrots are always in pairs.

I'm pretty sure the mate for life.

So it was finally nice to see the couple turn up for some dinner.

After braving a few attacks from the Magpie's, they ventured down to the fallen seed on the ground.

We have also on occasion had some Rosella's turn up.
Today along with the King Parrots, a pair of Rosella's arrived as well!

Beautiful.

What a handsome fellow.

We had seen King Parrots at this house once before,

When we first moved in. (roughly 18months ago)

Our neighbour informed me this afternoon,

while we were watching the birds,

that it is very rare to see them in this area of town.

So i have decided to go by more seed tomorrow,

so they keep coming back.

They are beautiful birds.

Family Fun Weekend.

Our weekend away, was jam packed full of lots of fun!

Swimming, playing, eating, shopping and sleeping!!

The weather was beautiful, we swam in the pool and went to the beach.

The only miss-hap we had was Ben dropping our camera off a high shelf..

(sorry honey, had to explain the new purchase somehow!)

The lens got a big crack down it, so first thing Saturday morning,

after a holiday cooked breaky, we went shopping!

Got a new camera, as Ben described it, it is "sexy" haha

~~

I will post more photo's and give more details into our weekend,

but at the moment our Internet has slowed down because we have

used it a little too much this month... Oops!

And it is painfully slow to load anything...

So i hope you had a great weekend, i surprisingly don't feel overly tired.

After our big weekend of so much play i thought i would be exhausted all over.

Its a good think I'm not tho, we have another weekend planned at the beach this weekend coming.

Oh how i love summer time!!

This is the big pool, Notice baby blue eye's floating by himself and big boy cowboy clinging on for dear life. That's a mistake i have made in not getting our cowboy into water/swimming at an earlier age..

Whether it be swimming lessons or just going to the local pool as often as possible to keep him more confident, i did not do it... But I've learnt from it and this summer will get to the pool more often. Bring on more swimming!! Love it!!

More Teeth.

I have discovered Blue eyes has his bottom 2 eye teeth coming through.

So far there are no temps. But alot of grumbling and being sooky.

They seem to be coming alot faster than his previous teeth.

So fingers crossed they come before any temps do.

This comes as we are going away for the weekend...

I know we have everything prepared and know what to do now,

but i really hope he doesn't have a febrile convulsion while we are away.

Would much prefer to be in our home if/when he has another one..

~~

Well I'm off to keep preparing for the weekend.

Which reminds me i should charge the camera batteries again,

just in case!

Hope your all have a great Thursday!
