Little girls like to grow up - FAST

Miss Alicia came wandering into the lounge room last night, very proud of herself. She had found my bras and had successfully managed to put them on.

The Kids are loving the pool

The last couple of days have been very very hot, hence the pool has had a good work out.
I'm glad we are using the pool more and more since it cost me a heap of money to fix up. And it seems the older the kids get, the more it is being used.

Ewan loves to get in with his floaties and he's off. Swimming around and going down to the deep end. He loves it. He is a very good swimmer with the floaties but is scared to take them off. He can swim but isn't very confident.

Alicia loves to jump in. Thats pretty much HER thing. She had a lot of fun with dad last night. He was throwing her up in the air and it was very high. She too likes to swim with her floaties on, she gets a little independence and is free to go wherever.
Mainly the pool is a pain in the arse but Summer time seems to make up for it. And eventually we will get that solar heating going, thats what I'm hanging for.

The Interceptor is becoming more prominent

Whilst at Silverton, Adi and Brad had a photo shoot and video taping of the famous Interceptor. It was hysterical to see, two grown men playing cars and even funnier to see me sitting in the the car whilst Brad drove. He wants one and wants one bad. The only thing stopping him playing cars.......the house (which isn't finished yet)

Its almost come to a point where I can't be bothered justifying time against money. Brad is unhappy and rightly so. He works hard and should have some serious play time. What we should do is sit down and develop a plan, which everyone can agree on. Then he will get to play cars.

Anyway the photo shoot was great, we got some really good photos and the video was made even more special because a kangaroo decided to join us, thankfully it wasn't permanently left on Adi's car tyre. Interesting viewing.

Alicia and Ewan had some fun and were really well behaved. Check out the photos.

New Years Eve at Silverton

We drove to the Silverton Pub for New Years but because its my family there were incidents on the way there, of course. Alicia threw up twice and we had to change her twice. She hasn't been well (surprise, surprise) but I think it is more of a sinus infection and the gunk running down to her stomach. She coped with it very well especially since this all happened, after about an hour and then again after about 2 hours. Remembering we still had at least 5 hours to go.
We did get there by about 6pm and there were quite a few people outside the front of the pub and I didn't realise this but Chris' interceptor is continually parked out the front which I thought funny. I did expect the pub to be in the middle of no where surrounded by nothing but that isn't exactly the case. Never the less it looked good.
I met Chris and Jo and their kids Cec and Casey. Beautiful people and very welcoming. The accomodation was really nice and Ewan and Alicia fit right in. Ewan had plenty of space to play around in and Alicia had plenty of dirt to get dirty in.

New Years Eve came in with a bang, literally. Fireworks were great and then not long after I went to bed. The kids thankfully were already sleeping soundly.

We did have a few issues during the night with Alicia, who ended up taking the whole of the bed but other than that, it was a really good trip.

Thanks to Chris and his gang for making it memorable in more than one way!!!!!

Christmas was Yuck

Hopefully it wasn't too yuck for the kids but I wouldn't know because I was sick in bed all day and for the next 2 days after that.
I thought it was gastro now I think it was food poisoning. Everyone who had the same cake as me, was not well. Hence there was a trip to the hospital and 2 litres of fluid fed in, because by this time I was dehydrated, yeah great. Well I have finally recovered, hoping to never have food poisoning again and water has become my new best friend.
The kids got some great toys which they are playing with continuously and the house still looks like a bomb has hit it, but oh well.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.
