Santa's No. 1...

With Christmas fastly approaching, another busy week was had in our household.

It all started with 4.5hrs of shopping at Fountain Gate on Thursday.  The place was packed and luckily for me my girls were pretty well behaved considering.  The worse part is that I still haven't finished and will have to attempt it again sometime this week :(  This photo of the girls with Santa was taken at the start of our shopping adventure, before they started to get cranky and irritable. LOL

I just love this photo. I am so proud of Piper as all our other previous Santa photo's are of her screaming or not in it at all.

On Friday Bella celebrated her end of 3yr old Kinder with a little concert being held for the parents/grandparents and then a party. She was so excited as Brett managed to get the day off work to attend and she was busting to hand out all her chrissy cards to her "kindy friends". (can't wait for her to be old enough to write them all out herself...LOL)

Later that same evening, we had another Christmas party to attend to which just so happened to be held at a play centre.  The kids were soooo knackered but some how managed to find the energy to party away until 10pm. As you can imagine they were pretty flat by Saturday, and what a perfect day it was to do absolutely nothing and sit indoors snuggled on the couch.

Unfortunately for me the rest and relaxation was short lived as I dobbed myself in to do an 8hr shift at work yesterday :(  Oh well, the extra money will come in handy over the Christmas break.

Tis the season...

Well, after reading Helen's blog I to decided to change the look of my blog for the festive season. If you wait long enough snow will start to fall across the page. Ahhhhhhh

 This is the first time I have changed it in over a year so I thought a change is as good as a holiday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL....


HO HO HO!

Kindy Excursion...

Better late then never I suppose.

Bella had her first kinder excursion the other week to Tooradin Foreshore, and to top it off they went on a double decker bus.  As you could imagine there were a lot of very excited little kiddies, but must say that they were all pretty well behaved.  I didn't even realise that Tooradin had a park by the water, and have since been told that the fish n chip shop there is one of the best?  Over Christmas I think we might have to take the girls for a play and stay for a spot of dinner. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

This week at kinder we have Bella's final day and a Christmas concert which we are very excited about.  I can't believe the year is over and that next year it is the BIG 4yr old kindy. Someone please stop the clock.

Sunday we had some more family photo's taken, which I am glad to say worked out a lot better then the last lot.  A few months ago we did the fundraiser photo's through Declan's school and had a lot of trouble with Piper not wanting her photo taken, and when we checked out the photo's there weren't too many that I liked so decided not to get any and to take the risk and try again. Luckily Bella's kinder also had a photo fundraiser so I decided to try again. The lady taking the photo's was awesome and after about 5 mins we couldn't get Piper away from the camera :)  Can't wait until the end of the week so that I can see them in full.

This photo is of the girls in their new jackets that they got from Glenda and David in England for Christmas. THANK YOU!

I just love Marks and Spencer clothes as they are always really good quality and the girls get so much wear out of them.  I also needed new jumpers and jackets for the girls as this weather has no idea what it is doing, and as it is meant to be "SUMMER", I can't find any anywhere.

Anyway that's about it. Will try to update again before Christmas.
