Shopping done

Its amazing what yo can do in a short space of time the boys and I picked up Kase on Thursday and headed to Carindale to try to get the Xmas shopping done and then to Cannon Hill and am pleased to report all but done as for the wrapping thats another story hopefully will finish it today. I have to say that I have scored some brilliant on line bargins as well 2 little people sets the big farm and playground sets for $25 bucks with postage and the zoo and village for $30 all in excellent condition with all the bits and a kitchen and chicco supermarket for $40 and the latest a little tikes shopping trolley for $14 all great and Anabels not going to care if they are in boxes or not. Also scored Tom a brand new Ipod nano 8gb for $117 with postage I was rapped as the cheapest we could get it was about 180.
On the way home though I got all the way back to town and saw the police sitting at the high school there was a car behind me and I saw him put his lights on and I was laughing to myself but the car pulled over guess who they were after arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is the funniest ever "maam you were talking on your mobile " hilarious because anyone that knows me knows that if I can actually find my mobile it's very rarely on and Anabel was playing with it last week so as for its present location its in the dolly pram at home . So there was this whole I laughed and explained about said phone so he asks whether anyone else in the car has a mobile and anyone thet knows teens knows that they don't leave home without them. So Luke had to get out while they searched the floor in the front to see if I had thrown it on the floor scary if you have seen the floor of my car lately. So then he says did you have your hand up to your face duh probably cause I sure as heck wasn't on a mobile , so after being breathalized they let me go .Gees I know they have a job to do but they could have done it somewhere else !!!!!!!!!!

Telephone

Forgot to mention the message on answering machine Had a s_ _t of a day and got home to this message from guess who .............. hellooooooo........hi................granma.......... we were rolling with laughter was telling Kase about it and she had no idea ............. but how she does love to chat...... we can't bring ourselves to erase it..



ONE day to go......... moving classrooms arghhhhhhhhhhh I have been very spoilt the whole time at work with the teachers I work with I have had 2 brilliant long term stints and have been working with Kate for nearly 5 years so sad to learn I am off to be with new teacher for next year . Still prep/1 be an interesting year It will be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!


Party day today and it was sad to see the kids go (mostly) we don't encourage them to come on the last day as we have to clean move get organised we think we will have one preppy or maybe she will change her mind its sad because there really is nothing for them to do . Crappy week to be doing it .It is sooooooo hot spent some time in the shed at work yesterday gosh it was loike a sauna I sweated buckets thank god I just have to put stuff in there 2morrow. Its been a fantastic year but roll on 3.00 o'lock 2morrow ********** Then I will have to put in some serious shopping have almost finished Anabel and Jem but thats abut it .Toms easy he is buying a new trumpet and at almost 3 1/2 grand he wants cash to put towards it . He also bought his first car its just an older mazda but we know the car and it doesn't need much to get it on the road so between that and the trumpet he won't have much money left from the coles job but he'll get there

5 DAYS TO GO ............YIPPEE

I can't wait only five days to go now I have reread some of my blogs and maybe it seems that i hate my job as I am always hanging out for the holidays......Not true I love my job but am over the year the prep/year one thing has been hard work but the kids mostly are great and I will miss them but they are so ready to move on .......I think its the lead up that kills it spent last week doing individual video cds for the Xmas pressy for the parents and its amazing how much they have all grown since the beginning of the year ..so I must say I a really happy with how they turned out although my watcher Jem is over the preschool song thing.
Then there is getting ready for the next year argghhhhhhhh......

Can not wait have been shopping and I have to say I love shopping for Anabel where were all these cool toys when our kids were bubs have decided (nuts) that I will finish next week .

Noel is taking holidays this year with us so that will be a nice change.

This will be the first year that all our kids haven't been all together xmas day so it will be different but boxing day will be great except that Nat has to work .

Anyhow will post again soon oh before I go haven't put a pick up of the girl for a while . She rang us the other day and it is so gorgeous we don't think we will ever erase it .
