big hugs!


For Amanda's colour challenge at Escape2Create!!

Our girl ...

Hannah has a great day at footy ... hanging with her friends Joe & Mia, swinging her handbag, which is sometimes carried or held by her friend Joe!!


This one is a little disturbing ... LOL!!!


Yes those terrible lollies called Fads, when I was young they were called Fags, can you believe they got away with that!!


Last night at the clubrooms she was seen accessorising even more with a strand of silver beads and "lipstick" and then checking out her girlfriend, Mia's stuff too. Then the token male carried their bags over to the dining table!! Mia's Dad is quite a hit too - ordered her tea and was the one she gave her jacket too when she didn't need it anymore!!

Mia's Mum and I ... well a glass of red wine is always good!!

Children's books

Today Hannah and I visited our local library as they have a Book Fair on at the moment.

I love books!!

We have lots of books.

I love to buy novels ... that feeling of opening up a new book to read is wonderful!

I have recently re-discovered that I can have that new book feeling by going to our local library and going to the "new book" section and borrowing books that take my fancy!! And it is free!!

So I borrowed a couple of books today and then read three books to Hannah ... "new books" too!!

Then I think she found one of the most worn and pre-read / pre-loved books in the library to borrow!! Very interesting observation!!

Then we had a look at the Book Fair. The three boys had come home with 2 books each on a "wish list".

So I made a couple of purchases!!

Then tonight I had a bit more of a look at one of Jack's choices and thought "wow he chose well"!

He enthusiastically read the first 2 chapters!

So I have been on line and ordered a few more in the series ... Our Australia by Phil Kettle .

Quite funny as this same author has been read by Jack many times through the TooCool and BoyzRule series!

I shopped here!

This and that ...

On Thursday Hannah and I went to the Playschool concert with a friend and her daughter. It was lots of fun!


Then we went for a walk and the girls had a Wendy's icecream ... yummy! 


We chose to have a coffee and then some lunch!

We have had two rather late nights out in a row ... a special dinner for 10 at the Port Lincoln Hotel which was lots of fun and we had a sleepover there!!

Then last night we had our football and netball club count night ... great fun, dancing, time with friends and another sleepover!

Yesterday I came home and made a yummy banana smoothie ... helped a lot!!

Unfortunately no ingredients left to make one today!! Just what I feel like though!!

Rohan has a birthday party this afternoon and Jack & Lachlan are playing in a minis football carnival.
