As the days go by…!
This week has come and gone so quickly. Amy went to camp and came home, Monday came and went and now its Thursday night and I am contemplating what needs to be done tomorrow. Its not a matter of what should I do? Its more a case that I am wondering which jobs are absolutely necessary and which ones can I get away with not doing. I do have a list on the table that I will look at in the morning – I feel half way organised just because I have a list. How do you get organised? I have a list that I then put into my…

Grade 4 goes to Camp!
Today 25 grade 4 kids went off to camp with 2 teachers and a learning support teacher. Its quite a big deal when you think about it…many of these kids are going to be away from home for the very first time. I am not sure if Amy is the only one, but we really haven’t done overnighting. Now they aren’t travelling too far away from home (Mapelton), but they are away for two nights and three days and this means that they are going to need to make the decision that the are going to cope and work out their issues about being away at camp,…

Well I was going to watch a Movie….
All day I was thinking how great it was that I was going to have a little down time tonight. Bethy had begged and pleaded all week to go to the Bush dance at school and Dion was willing to take her and had every intention of taking her but I gave him the option tonight when he got home from work. He was not looking forward to going to a bush dance. So as the good wife that I try to be, I hesitated and then I asked him if he preferred that I take her….I hesitated, because I knew that if I gave him or any man…

Eye specialists and fun in Maleny
I love spontaneous fun days. It started with some apprehension as I had to go to an eye specialist and have my optic nerves checked, apparently they appeared swollen in a recent optometrist appointment, but as it turns out, I am just one of those people who are born with thicker optic nerves! Yay for me! As we were leaving, we got hit with a bill for this eye specialist appointment. We should have asked what this appointment was going to cost however it came as a shock…$312! Yep…I know! I nearly squawked! Instead, I calmly (not calm on the inside) passed the lady my bank…

Shoulda Woulda Coulda
There are two remarkable things in life. The first is hindsight. Hindsight is a wonderful tool and sometimes painful tool too learn our life lessons, and the second is a child’s point of view. When I was a child I tried to jump into adulthood as fast as I could. I mostly enjoyed my childhood, but I wanted to grow up and be responsible and live my life – I loved the idea of independence. Although at the time, I don’t think the word independence was the word I used. I imagined my adult life a little different in terms of how it has worked out, but none the…

I concur….!
Jerry Seinfeld had the right idea when he said this quote. I would change one tiny little element though….I would say that any toddler who can walk and get into anything at all is like having a blender without a lid. Jaden is a blender with no lid…he plays strong and hard all day, well till midday when sleep time comes and then plays hard till bed time. I have often wondered since having children why God did not install a sleep button in our children. It can be incredibly difficult sometimes when your dealing with a toddler with a will just as strong as yours. It…

What did I find at the Caloundra Sunny Coast baby and kids Markets
This morning was market morning at the Caloundra Indoor Sports Centre on North Street. It was fun to roam the stalls having a look at what was available for sale. The girls were a little sad that the lady selling the Beanie kids was not there, but I reminded them that it wasn’t possible to have the same people all the time as people are busy. I am sure at some stage she will be back – fingers crossed! 🙂 So first of all I am going to skyte that I bought a couple of bargains… two pairs of shoes for Jaden – $6, a pair of size…

Putting a price on Fun!
A couple of weeks ago to buy the Myfun – Seaworld, Movieworld and Wet’n Wild tickets for the family. We haven’t done anything like that before, but we discovered yesterday that if you want to buy tickets at the gate (Movie World), you will be paying the hefty price of $79.95 for an adult for one day at the theme park, and $49.95 for children and concession tickets. Because of the cost involved for a large-ish family it made sense for us to buy the VIP MyFun Tickets – Myfun.com.au. We went to Movie world today and I learned a couple of things. I learned that Amy is…
