The house....

Final post for the night, then probably won't get another chance till we're back at the end of January. House is coming along nicely. Our house went on the market last week, we're not expecting it to sell quickly though since it's during the Christmas/New Year break.

Christmas Eve

We took the boat for a ride from the van up to the canals into Mandurah. They have some of the most amazing lights I've ever seen. A couple of glasses of wine and some cheese, a warm balmy night, lots of other boats doing the same thing as us and lots of people sitting out on their decks watching us come by to look at their lights. what a perfect night. We did this last year too. Love it. Sorry the pics aren't that great.

Our Christmas

Fantastic time down at the van over Christmas. I'm just home for a few days as Craig leaves tomorrow, so we'll be up early to take him to the airport. I have some washing to do, then we'll be back down midweek until the end of January when school starts again. Year 2. wow it's flying by. Here are some pics of our Christmas.

Latest on the house

Been busy here. It's coming up to the end of the school year for us. Ends here on the 8th December, so I'm trying to rush around at work organising stuff so it runs ok while I'm not there, as well as trying to get the house organised to survive without anyone living in it over the summer. Craig's home Saturday (YAY), then his mum and dad are flying in Monday morning. Thing'll be a little rushed, but hey, it'll be fun. Here are the latest pics on the house. Greycoat's done on the walls and the ceiling guys started this week. So we're waiting on ceilings and plastering then we should be at lockup. (then the slow bit starts.... kitchen, bathrooms.......etc)

New family pic....

I was emailed a big family pic that was taken down at Barney Point at my grandad's birthday. (thanks Anne)!
Here we all are.

Some more Queensland pics.....

Mum got back today so I've gotten some of her pics from Queensland to post. I can't find one though of the whole family together in the big pic, so if anyone has it can you email me?

Girls Night In

Last Friday I decided to host a "Girls night in" to try and raise money for research and support for women's breast cancer and gynaecological cancers. Just invited the mums from Kaitlyn's class at school and we didn't finish until 1am. Where did the time go?! It was such a great night, just a bunch of girls laughing and talking, and to top it off we raised just over $110-

And then there was a roof......

I can't believe how quickly this house is being built. The roof is on and they've almost finished rendering the outside brickwork.

We have Sally!

And as you can see by the pics she's doing what a puppy does best. PLAY and cause havoc!

We're home....

We had a great time in Queensland, the weather was gorgeous. Kate was overwhelmed by how much family my mum's side has. My grandad was in tears when we all surprised him on the Saturday for his 80th birthday. We had sack races, flour bomb fights, limbo, you name it we did it! My aunty Kaye organised this starting over a year ago, and it was all organised for the week before her wedding! argh! I couldn't have done it.
