Holidays

ARhhhhh Bliss so far acheived on my list of things to do ZILCH zero nothing
but I have thought about it . I have discovered more things that need to be done or I want to be done . Motivation NIL
I have however played with Anabel and have discovered that:
Yes she can go on the slippery slide all by herself
that she loves to sing to herself as she swings and
that if you let her lay on her back on the trampoline and bounce her she squeals with delight she loves to draw with chalk but you have to draw too (grandad draws bunnies and grandma flowers and girly things)
She also loves Jeremys little house which is years old and on a definate lean which we had planned to demolish so what to do. Its solid just leaning so that is another job on my list to see if we can't straighten it up or maybe build another little one with a sandpit attached of course as she has discovered dirt and doesn't mind eating it.
She would spend all day everyday outside if you let her
That she gives the best hugs and kisses
and that it is definately not time wasted

Kaylee's party

projects

We have just finished doing up a piano for Miss Anabel it was a buck bargain find at a garage sale I only went cause kase spotted some big piggy toy boxes so I went back and scored her 2 toyboxes the piano and a jigsaw puzzle for 7 bucks. Anyhow the piano was pretty beaten up and was missing 2 keys but Noel and I pulled it apart and sanded and stained it and Noel made new keys and its great and she loves it she bops away while she is playing. I'll post some pics in the next day or two.of before and after. Can't wait for the holidays (7 work days to go but whos counting) Noels mum gave us her old kitchen dresser which was his grandmas and I'm going to strip it back can't wait. Then I'm going to do up Anabels toddler bed thanks to Renee its going to be great. My sewing is on the back burner on account of my machine is s__t and I am ready to toss it out the window so all sewing projects are currently on hold which is a crock cause I have four quilts on the go and i want to do Anabel a new one for her toddler bed but anyhow they will have to wait a bit longer sorry to Hannah and Sharlette Luke and Tom but they will get there arghhhhh. Because I can't do anything else I am doing a jigsaw well Nat has done most of it so far but I want to finish it before he comes on the weekend.Fat Chance....................
It was great to see Car and Kaylee on the weekend and Shell and Mia can't beleive how fast all these little bubbas are growing.
Anabel had a run in with the pantry door the other day so now her little thumb is bandaged up her latest game is getting into the pantry and putting her finger in the hinge well poor Luke didn't realise and shut her finger in the door but she is fine doesn't like the bandage though.
Renee had to tell you I am loving your blog and am glad to hear that life in the top end is going so well for you Troy and the Girls miss our coffees and chats though its brilliant.

Happy Birthday Jeremy

Birthdays everywhere Our baby turns 13 tomorrow now I am starting to feel old (thats right I am ) lol He is pretty excited and he scored a chemistry set from Kase and Jeremy and the gang science or at least the blowing up of things (supervised of course) seems to be his latest thing since they showed them how different chemicals react at school so Jem and BF Shane spend a lot of time recreating the things they learn at home (could be worse)I think
Anyhow happy birthday Jem have a great one

Happy Birthday Kaylee Rose

Well hard to beleive but Kaylee is turned 1 today it feels like yesterday that she was this tiny little moppet and now she is a beautiful little toddler. Congrats Kaylz .

Slacker

It's been so long since I posted anything been sick some stupid virus thing where I felt like I am in the outer planet somewhere. I actually had days of work which never happens. Sorry to Car for missing her party we had full intentions of coming but arghhhhhhhh didn't want to spread that one around . Still not feeling 100 % but getting there still. Rotten thing just goes on and on today was probably the first day i actually felt human dragged through work the last 3 days .

Anabel is in residence again terrorising the place she is the funniest little thing . She now has 8 teeth and more on the way and is full of beans always on the go. She runs everywhere and can say heaps of things some understandble and some not but she is getting there. She is saying strings of words now and definately has her own mind. She is into pulling everything and anything out like nappy wipes, tissues,nappy sacks and they never go back into the containers the same way they came out .

Can not beleive that Kaylee is nearly 1 and can't wait to see her for her birthday.
