catching up

Wow can't believe that it was September when I last blogged now the year is almost over again. Only 2 weeks left to go at work for the year and our little guys have come soooo far they are reading and writing and the days are just flying trying to pack it all in..We were looking at thier pics from when they first started and to the most recent my gosh hey were babies so grown up now love seeing how much they have changed and how much they have learnt. Now we are madly trying to finish of one year and get ready for the next. We are moving from 3 to 4 preps next year .
Anabel is off to prep next year too but she wanted to come to grandmas prep Kase told her that she would have to live with us to go there her only reply was can Ollie come too needless to say she does love her little brother so she is staying home and going to Whites Hill College.

Exciting News for Luke and Laureena they are moving to St George in january for luke
to teach instrumental music out there.Hes excited he will teach 3 days in St George and 2 will be virtual classroom for the outlying schools he only has to travel to them twice a term. Congrats Luke for finishing your degree we are so proud of you .
Poor Nat has not had a great run he has been seeing a chiropractor for a while now for fractures in his back too many falls off the dock now the poor bugger has bells palsy which is looking way better than when he first got it but it is such a slow healing process and they are not sure whether any of the damage will be permanent hopefully not . He is starting work at a new store next week and back on day shifts so hopefully he can get the rest he needs. Thank god kasey was ther to make him go to a doctor otherwise he would never have gone so bloody stubborn (don't know where he gets that from )
Tom is working hard and earning heaps bought himself a new car (2nd hand) Lazer Liata and is just getting a few things done on it before he puts iton the road .Lucky for us Noels brother is a mechanic and can do all of it and roadworthy it there so fingers crossed it is here before we go out to St George in January as our poor old beast just won't make it. We need a new car and its just so bloody frustrating that we have in the bank managers words shitloads of money to service the loan but not enough equity soooo no new car for us feel like running the thing into a tree somedays at least we could get another car. grrrrr.
Jeremy has finished grade 11 and now just one more year to go sad that our baby is almost finished school but excited to enter a new chapter in our lives bring it on . Been doing this for a long time with ours and everyone elses kids but at the end of next year it all ends . We have had one of Toms friends here for the last 2 years living with us and we are over it especially now that his girlfriend has practically moved in the pair of them are lazy and selfish and expect everything to be done for them so by the end of next year he is gone whether he likes it or not I want my spare room back......
Only 4 weeks left until xmas and I'm not sure whether I am ready or not my house looks like a bomb has exploded so much stuff to get rid of and sssoooooo much to do and I can not find any motivation to do it . I have bought pressys and mostly the rest will be cash and vouchers but i want to get a few homemade goodies done as well as some little dresses and hairbands made heres hoping once the holidays start i can find it .......
I am sorry if I missed your birthday since september and I know there have been a few. We had a big night out last weekend for my best friends 50th (scary) started out at a Turkish Restaurant and then did over southbank the choc heaven shop she calls it and then on to the wheel of Brisbane . Noel and I both don't like heights and I am a bit claustrophobic so we were quite happy to watch them all go on it but they bought tickets back for us so Noel and I and vik and greg all went on I enjoyed it I am not sure whether Noel did I think he was ok once he finally opened his eyes and at least now he can say he has done it. Julia however couldn't be persuaded to go on she has been living in london and did the eye of london and she hated it so refused to go on this one . Biggest let down of the night parking at southbank was 36 dollars absolutely ridiculous especially when you see how many cars are in those carparks. all the same it was an awesome night.
Happy birthday to Vik for the 13th Noel for the 17th mine was the 22nd and our neices Serena and Jaci for the 24th . and so on to the silly season........
