This was a photo taken from our kitchen. We don't have a kitchen window, so this was the view. Raining still.
We're off to the tip shop today. Glen bought a new whipper snipper, but wants to see if he can find some parts for his old one and sell it.
Then we're off to Bolwarra to collect another ebay win.
Yep, I know it's Thursday.
OMG !!! This pose makes me look like I'm holding my pregnant belly (I'm NOT pregnant) LOL
Ok.
Black pants - Target
Shirt - Suzanne Grae
Necklace & Bangles - Diva
PS: Yes, I did put on a little black singlet top before I went out. Didn't realise the shirt was see through.
Look what I found the other day... Isn't she pretty !!!
About the size of a large bowl, and the colour is so sweet. I wonder if this was part of a set ??
A couple of weeks ago, I found this too in an op shop I hadn't been too before. ....... I believe it's hand made, with "To Nora, From Elaine" etched onto the bottom.
We've already used it several times.
Sorry, but these posts are all over the place. I just wanted to get these memories / photos down before it was time for out NEXT holiday.
We set off Sunday 11/12 for the Gold Coast, QLD. We'd been 2 years ago, and decided that the kids were still at a good age to head up there again. 8 nights in a beautiful house at Broadbeach Waters, overlooking the river from our back deck. The musts when booking this were: Pool, ice making fridge and ducted air throughout (including bedrooms).
This was our view from the back deck, looking out to the mega mansion across from us.
Kids looking cool in their new sunnies.
Lots of shopping at Harbortown (factory outlet stores)
Dreamworld, White Water World, Ikea, Southbank, lazy dinners, swims in the pool.
the boys doing some 'housework'
So there you have it. A quick snapshop of our holiday. That's been 2 holidays for us this year, so I think 2012 will be holiday free :( Oh, maybe a couple days away somewhere...
We told the kids on Xmas eve when they went to bed that they weren't to wake us until 9am.... Yep, evil parents that we are. (we were joking)
First there was reindeer food.
Emma had decided this year that she wanted to have her stocking left in her room, for Santa to come in. She has never let Santa come into her room before, always choosing to leave her stocking in the loungeroom.
Xmas Morning.... Glen and I woke at 8am, and checked to see if the kids were awake. Squeals of delight from Emma when she realised we were up. "Let's see what Santa has left !!!"
Presents were opened, lots of smiles all around.
Emma - Bike, scooter, boogie board, ukelele, clothes, books, lip balm kit, bling maker, lots more.
Josh - Scooter handlebars, skyrim xbox 360, books.
I was super surprised when I opened the present from Glen. He'd bought me an electric sanding kit. Love it. Will make sanding so much easier, and I can get right up into the corners on pieces I'm working on.
Kids went through their stockings and then we had breakfast. Traditional croissants heated up by Glen.
Then it was back to open up the rest of the presents.
After that, we all went our separate ways a little, and did our own thing.
Kel, Rach and Rilee came over .......... more presents.
Lunch, bubbles, ham, turkey, prawns, potato salad.
Dessert was pavlova yum.
Kel fell asleep on the lounge after copious amounts of beer mixed with a hayfever tablet LOL
Once they left, we just relaxed for the rest of the afternoon/night.
This was a great Xmas.
