The House!

Well it has been a while between house updates :blush:

A quick summary of where we are at!

* The floorboards have been put down (except for half the rumpus room)
* the bathrooms are plastered and wet sealed and ready for tiling (hopefully this week)
* the built-ins, vanities, laundry cupboards and bench and rumpus built-in/entertainment unit are all measured up and the guy is making them.
* door jams are nearly all in
* the half wall in the kitchen is up (although it wasn't when I took the pics!)

We are still around!

I know it has been a long time between posts - but the holiday mode has kind of taken over! Jason has been busy with the house and I have been scrapping and dealing with the Boys!

We spent a week and a bit in Gil earlier this month (including Jas and I dashing off to Sydney for Verity's wedding). We all had a ball!

I am really enjoying these holidays as I sit and scrap away - I am a bit nervous about going back to work to be honest! Head Teacher seems a bit scarey!! I did the job for half of last year - but it feels different now that it is totally mine :o

Anyway thought I would share some of my latest scrappin'

Happy New Year!

Yes I know a few days late! Better late than never :)

Well what a busy time we had over christmas. Spent it in Sydney which was fun, but hectic! We only stayed four nights and had places to go to each day!

We drove up christmas eve and after checking in to the cravan park and unloading pressies at Debs we had dinner at Hollies. It is so much fun to catch up with the girls from school. The funny part is looking around and realinsing out of the five couples there are 10 kids - none of whom belong to Nat and Shed! Very different to a few years ago!

Christmas day started early with Cam awake just after 6am - not my time of day! He was very excited when he realised Santa had been! Josh woke up not long after and the Boys opened their special present from Dad - a motor bike! It is a little battery operated one which isn't too fast for them.

Cameron decided he wasn't opening any presents until he was at Debs - not even one out of his santa sack! Josh couldn't wait so opened one and was quite happy!

We headed down to Deb's around 8am to find Jake wide awake and already into the unwrapping! He was just gorgeous and had a lovely show off of his walking between people skills!

Cam and Josh soon demolished their Santa presents and then Mum and Dad arrived and round two began! All followed by breakfast of course.

Lunch was up and Aunty Caths and was nice. As usual Linton was bombarded by my two. They totally adore him and will not leave him alone for a second.

Boxing day was the next "do" where we caught up with the Vanderkoois at Uncle Chris and Aunty Jills. The Boys had a ball playing with Aunty Jill! She played games with them and took them of adventures in the neighbourhood. They thought it was great! They had just as much fun at the beach in the arvo.


The next day was an early birthday party for Mum - Deb and I had planned a lovely picnic by the lake - but it rained!!! Luckily it cleared up and turned into a lovely day :) The kids had a ball running around, riding scooters and going for a dip in the lake!





The day was nicely finished off with dinner at Debs with Mum and Dad and Aunty Cathy and Uncle David. Unfortunately it was the long drive home the next day!!
