What's new?...

Sorry it's been a while since my last post but I really have no excuses this time. lol

We are trying to get back into the swing of Term 2, but for some reason it's taking a little longer then expected. Bella has started at her new kinder and is loving it which is a huge relief.  Her teachers have informed me that she has settled really well with her new environment, and she comes out at the end of the day with a big smile on her face and tells me all about the things she has done. Kids really do adapt to change quite well. It's us parents who have the trouble.

We have had some wild and woolley weather recently which I am just loving. 51mm fell in Cranbourne North over the weekend which was great but the winds were just a little too squally for me. Luckily for us we had all our fences replaced 2 weeks ago and it was so nice not having to worry about the old ones getting blown over. lol   As you can see from the picture, the fences were in a pretty terrible state.

THANK YOU Pat and Jeff so so much for the new fences :)

We have also had the unfortunate luck (or should that be fortunate luck) of our oven dying. It has never worked well since the day we moved in but over time I figured out how to get by, and was silently rapped when Brett suggested that we replace it with a new one. We didn't get anything flash but the new oven works like a dream :)  It runs so quiet and I can now bake a cake without having to turn it every 10mins and no more burning the top while the centre is still raw. AWESOME!!!

On a much more exciting note Miss Matilda turned 2 on Saturday (I can't believe she is 2 already), and even though Helen didn't organise a party for that day, it seemed that secretly we all wanted to help her celebrate as all the family seemed to visit the birthday girl at the same time.  Luckily for Helen she had 2 cakes on standby to feed the tribes. lol

Well, now you are all caught up so until next time :)
