Day 34 (26.11.09)

This place looks like a sweatshop with some mass calico bag making happening over the last couple of days.

(These are for Ned's class Christmas craft)

Day 33 (25.11.09)

We went out for dinner tonight to celebrate Mum and Dad's 42nd anniversary - a bit of an achievement these days!!

Day 32 (24.11.09)

We are taking part in the Yates Giant Pumpkin Challenge this year (after an unsuccessful attempt at the watermelon one last year) and this is our seedling at four days old.

Day 31 (23.11.09)

We love finding faces in places and this little (lamb) fat face greeted me this morning.

And no, I don't do all my dishes every night - only what I can cram into my dishwasher!!!

Day 30 (22.11.09)

I didn't achieve much today but I did make a bag - I wasn't expecting it to work out so well, and I didn't want to waste good fabric so it is made out of a tiny bit of new fabric and the rest of it including the lining is sheets and pillowcases!

Day 29 (21.11.09)

Jarrah came home with this tape and I knew the perfect spot for it - her bedroom door!!

Day 28 (20.11.09)

We came home to a big box at our front door today and it was a Makita esky that we won.  Shame it didn't come full !!!!

Day 27 (19.11.09)

We went to Ned's school concert tonight and his class did their act to 'I've been everywhere man'. Ned was a dory fish in the Great Barrier Reef.  This is a sneaky photo taken after the Principal explained that there were no photo's to be taken during performances due to copyright laws!!  I got about seven photo's without anyone busting me but these are the two best of the bunch!!

Ned's that blurry little fish right in the middle!

Day 26 (18.11.09)

Our poor old girl had seven teeth removed today, she's very sore and sorry but with lot's of TLC she should be back to her beautiful self soon.

Day 25 (17.11.09)

Ned had a hair cut today, you only have to look back over previous posts to see how overdue it was!

Day 24 (16.11.09)

One of our resident fat and happy frogs - love that smile! :)

Day 23 (15.11.09)

Alot of this happened today - we (Jar and I) have been hanging out for the old school Mario to be released and it's as good as we were hoping!!!

Day 22 (14.11.09)

Our stall - looks pretty pathetic but we made over $350 !!!

Day 21 (13.11.09)

A few boxes, some tape and black spray paint and Ned has a really cool Star Wars base - furnishings and doors/windows still to come!

Day 20 (12.11.09)

I'm loving me some cowgirl boots!!  Got these babies on Ebay when the US dollar was good - $30 how could I say no??

Day 19 (11.11.09)

In remembrance......

Day 18 (10.11.09)

I'm having a stall with Jo at the PCYC markets on Saturday and thought it would be a good chance to get rid of some books, this isn't all of mine and I haven't even started on kids books yet!!  I have kept my faves but it is going to be hard to part with the whole Janet Evanovich series (sooo funny!) and my Oprah 20 year anniversary box set of dvd's!!!!!

Day 17 (09.11.09)

Jar & Al off for a driving lesson!

Day 16 (08.11.09)

This is what I have been saving all those pillowcases and sheets for! The back is an bedspread found at the thrift shop and the bias edging is made from a very cool sheet.

All rolled up and ready to go, we went straight down to the beach for a fish and chip dinner!

Day 15 (07.11.09)

We encourage any kind of creativity round here - Jarrah's watermelon mouse made especially for Ned!!

Day 14 (06.11.09)

A dump run.  Something we have needed to do for ages...

Day 13 (05.11.09)

The scene from my kitchen window.  7pm, the boys are in the fort and Ned is using a power tool !!  We should be doing readers, having baths or eating dinner but you can't interrupt male bonding!!

Day 12 (04.11.09)

A beautiful full moon in our backyard.........

Day 11 (03.11.09)

I think I used up all my good luck on the lotto - no winners for us today!!

Day 10 (02.11.09)

We won $482.25 on saturday night's lotto - unfortunately we had to share it with 10 others in a syndicate!!

Day 9 (01.11.09)

Ned demonstrating, ahem, traditional Thai boxing poses and his angry face!!

Jo & Wayne got Ned these Thai Mauy Boxing shorts in Thailand and he has'nt been out of them since she gave them to him last night.

Day 8 (31.10.09)

We went to stay out at Jo's tonight and she cooked this beautiful dinner. 

Chicken curry and all the trimmings - Yum!!  Best of all I got to take some home for lunch.
