Day 303 (22.08.10)

I have had the stiffest, sorest neck all weekend and I am hoping a combination of these two fix me!

Day 302 (21.08.10)

Voting day today....

Day 301 (20.08.10)

It was so misty on our way to school this morning you couldn't see the end of the street.

Day 300 (19.08.10)

Ned and Riley with their cool tatts - Ned's looks a bit like a hairy armpit!!

Day 299 (18.08.10)

I've had enough of the old barrow and lashed a new one today - it took us hours and some really bad language to put it together.

Day 298 (17.08.10)

We are really making some headway on the digging - next will be the cement!

Day 297 (16.08.10)

How can this little card cause me so much grief - today my card corrupted and I lost my photos.  :(

Day 296 (15.08.10)

We have started digging to get ready for our slab and somehow I got the job of barrowing - thanks Al!!
I got to use a wheelbarrow with a flat tyre and no handles!!!!

Day 295 (14.08.10)

Ned and I made playdough today - we just didn't get enough of dough making yesterday!!

Day 292 (11.08.10)

It feels like I'm driving a school bus the last couple of days with these crazy boys in the back!

Day 291 (10.08.10)

Jar's painting for a project at school - we call it 'the brain'!!

Day 290 (09.08.10)

We are finally picking lettuce and we have so much we are giving it away!!

Day 289 (08.08.10)


We went and walked a section of the new Bluewater Trail in town today and it's fantastic.  21km's of paths, bridges and boardwalks perfect for walking, biking and scootering!!

(pic to come)

Day 288 (07.08.10)

Sarina show today and Ned has been counting down the sleeps until we went.
Luckily I took this one snap on my phone so I have at least one photo from the day!

Day 287 (06.08.10)

Ned got student of the week and a gold card today!

Day 286 (05.08.10)

I took the fan blades off a few days ago to wash and paint them in preparation for our bedroom makeover and unfortunately I haven't had a chance to do it yet - of course last night the wind stopped and it got a little warm and we couldn't turn the fan on!!  Al's a champ - he didn't say a word!!

Day 285 (04.08.10)

Ali and my 9th wedding anniversary today and this is the card I made him!!
(if you don't know who Edward Cullen is I would suggest climbing out from whatever rock you have been living under and read the Twilight books!!!!!!!)

Day 284 (03.08.10)

Ned thought it would be funny to freeze a lego man in ice!!

Day 283 (02.08.10)

This is what my month starts with - folding and stuffing hundreds of bills into envelopes!!!

Day 282 (01.08.10)

I have decided to make up the missing photo's with stock pics found on the internet.  I was really sad to lose the original of this one though - It was of a crossword Ned found in a magazine and completed, soo cute all filled out in his writing!

Day 281 (31.07.10)

A crafty day today, I covered some extremely ugly mouse pads and made a fabric envelope thing to hold all my receipts, outgoing mail, things that need copying, faxing etc...
I made some pvc pockets on the front to hold my to-do and shopping lists using the plastic from bedlinen packaging.
Mousepads.....

D.E.V.A.S.T.A.T.E.D

My memory card corrupted today and I have lost all my pics from the last few months including camping, family events and worst of all Jar's deb!!  I'm not sure what will happen with the 365 challenge, I am definately not going to try and retake about three weeks worth of pics (I keep a list so I know what happens on each day) so I will either wind it up altogether or just miss a chunk. 
Waaay too peeved off to think about it today...............

Day 280 (30.07.10)

We took Jar out to Lachies today and on the way back I stopped to show Ned some cows on the side of the road.  We watched babies feed from the udder (ned calls it the squirter) and when we saw this big one out of it's yard Ned said "why does that one only have one squirter?" err because it's the bull !!!!

Day 279 (29.07.10)

Sea fog in our street today, this was taken early afternoon and makes everything seem a bit scary and spooky!!!

Day 278 (28.07.10)

Library day today, Ned goes straight to kids section, me fiction, magazines and craft, Jar non fiction!!!

Day 277 (27.07.10)

We never order pizza but tonight it was just too easy and cheap and surprisingly yum!

Day 276 (27.07.10)

Had to do my bas today, it's due in Sydney in two days, lucky I work well under pressure! :)

Day 275 (25.07.10)

We let Jar chuck a after deb party and it was a little bigger than we expected but everyone had a great time until we got shut down by the police!!
They were really good about it and let them kept partying until they got an official complaint which came right at the time Al and I needed to sleep (we went at 4am!! and we are waaay to old to recover quickly from that!!)!
Jar's Lachie!!

Day 274 (24.07.10)

Jar's deb tonight after weeks of practicing, fittings and appointments!!
It was such a great night and Jar looked so beautiful and I unfortunately took the worst photos ever - lucky the professional ones are ready to see so until we get them here are the best of the worst!!!

Jar at home just before leaving.....

Jar and her partner and buddy, Aiden.....
Ali and Jar.....
Jar and Kayla....
Grandma Margaret, Jarrah and Nanna Cath (Jar's great grandmother!)

Day 273 (23.07.10)

A little tiny asparagus - I think!! 
I have never seen them grow before but it really looks like one!

Day 272 (22.07.10)

I have finally found the perfect time to get homework done - straight after school.  We have been doing it for a few days now and he just ploughs through it with no whinging - even the reader!!!

Day 271 (21.07.10)

You can often find me Mon - Fri making school lunches on the back seat of the car after having to stop at the shop for bread or fruit!!

Day 270 (20.07.10)

Ned found this poor little egg on the ground today after a night of big winds, we looked up and the nest was made of a couple of sticks and a bit of grass!!

Day 269 (19.07.10)

Our barrel full of bromeliads only threw one flower this year - usually it has heaps.

Day 268 (18.07.10)

Spent the day setting up our new garden bed and filling it with beautiful organic soil and compost!!
We are just growing herbs and the things we spend heaps on and ending up chucking half away - mixed fancy lettuce, toms (we don't chuck toms but they are so expensive for nice ones!), shallots and asparagus just for fun!

Day 267 (17.07.10)

A little sneak peak of Jar's deb dress!

Day 266 (16.07.10)

Quilting my first quilt, it's a long and boring job so I hope the end result is worth it!
