Merry Christmas
A few images from my little man's birthday party last week.He will turn 4 tomorrow!
Well, it's nearly time for the big guy to arrive and we have been busy in the kitchen today, Mum's made the birthday cake for Jack and I decorated it, we have done the big shop and faught the crowd at coles this morning. Spent way too much money and we are all ready to go out and jump in the pool now. The kids have already got the reindeer food ready and have a donut tucked away in the fridge with Santa's name on it! Hopefully we can all have an early night and be ready for the onslaught tomorrow.
It's nice to have family with us(Mum and Tim). As usual the kids have about a million pressies under the tree, and it will be kaos here tomorrow!
Merry Christmas to all!

OUr pool is so cool!!!
Some recent layouts and a fridge magnet I have made for the 52 pick up challenges at LSBS, www.littlescrapbookshop.com.au
Well I wouldn't say it's cold cool, but it's great to have it back cool. We have been swimming everyday and loving it! I still have a mountain of half open boxes and have had a few health issues, but slowly but surely getting there and so glad to be home! Dave gave the garden a work over and it looks fabulous, everything has grown so much and it's in alot better shape than I thought.
Went to Cairns today to buy a new bed, it's been on the agenda for awhile, but good old Harvey Norman had 40% off today and also needed a new vacuum cleaner as I literally blew the other one up while cleaning the last rental property we were in. So this was too good to resist. The kids were great, we were in there for 2 hours and lucky, they were doing free photos with santa, so they had that to look forward to aswell as the milkshake I promised them at Stockland if they were good. We saved heaps and the kids got to spend their pocket money in Big W after, so alround it was a very productive day,.Finished off with a swim with Dad when we got home, he has been working 7 days a week for the last 3 weeks and we are a bit over it!

Waiting for the truck
As we speak, yey!!! Today is moving day! We went over to the house last night and had a swim and checked it all out! It's in good nick so our tenants were kind. The garden needs lots of TLC though, so will look forward to getting my green thumb back when I am settled with some time...
It's so exciting, it feels massive compared to the last two houses we have lived in! Oh so good!!!!

The river- Townsville
I did actually get out with my camera in Townsville and take some images before we left, because where we lived, it was quite lovely and picturesque. I used to walk around the lake and then onto the river walk in our estate and this afternoon in particular, I took the kids down with me and we watched the sun set, it was beautiful!
Masters SHORTLIST
I have been busy making cards lately and the Love card is from a LSBS challenge from last weekend! www.littlescrapbookshop.com.au
OMG- such a big week for me this week, so much happening and so much to be thankful for, but the exciting news was an email I received from Kristy Evans at SCRAPBOOKING MEMORIES, telling me I had made the shortlist with my Masters entry! Check it out: http://www.scrapbookingmemories.com.au/newsletter/2009/oct/
It's a huge list and my chances may be slim, but I am very excited to be up there with the best of them, there are some very talented ladies on that list! So that is an achievement I am proud of.
Other news, we are moving house yet again, in 2 weeks and will finally be going back to our home. We cannot wait. We have so much happening that weekend too, Dave's Mum is arriving for a short visit, Dave will most probably be working the whole weekend, so I've organised a truck so we can at least have our gear in the house. Then it's going to be a slow process getting sorted again. The kids are so looking forward to jumping in that pool again, our pool!!! Hopefully, life will settle down fo awhile after that. It has been a very huge, un-settling and tumultuous year!!!! I'm looking forward to my parents arriving at Christmas and for some relaxing time!
