everybody say 'awww'

Look what Mark bought home.... yes.... Mark !!!!

She's 7 weeks old and we've named her 'Sofi'
she's a bit freaked out ATM ...new house...kids... hopefully she'll settle in soon.

I got this photo when she was climbing over the rungs on the chairs...its kinda like a jungle gym for her..lol..
Her favourite place ATM is under the oven....not sure if thats a good thing...as the ove IS ON...

Mark and some of our friends are taking all the boys.... to see monster trucks...us girls are going to get on the singstar...lol..

books and jobs

got another book in the post today' lovely bones'...have read the first chappter and like it so far.

must get 'the 5th horseman' in the mail...didn't finish it...but I ran out of time... lol..


Dropping Daves job application off tomorrow... he heard of this through one of his teachers ...and she's put in a good word for him.... fingers crossed....

sigh

you need to look here -----> FANCY PANTS

I think this is the link that Kathryn was talking about on her blog... I did a bit of a google

Here's a nice christmasy blog to check out... ---->KSK Xmas blog

Eric was exhausted when he got back....and....he bought back lollies for all of us... I've been wanting to try....Dutch liquorice.....but the bags I've seen have been like $5-$7 at the market... Eric got a small bag for $1.50 for me... he loves his mummy... and I've tried and and I can say that I'm glad I didn't spent $5-$7 at the market...

finally

I have everything reinstalled on my computer....
and I went a little nuts uploading some pictures on KSK.... :P

Here's one of them...not sure about the beading on it actually... too late though cos its in the mail....lol.. what do you think???

Two of the kids are back... and snoozing on the couch.... Eric's running an hour behind so won't be back til 6ish we think..

Must try and get more of this book from the book circle read over the weekend....it was spose to go in the post today...norty me...sorry if I hold anyone up too much.

ok...Erics bus in 20 minutes away better get ready to go and get him...

Trivia night

it's over... thank goodness !

I was a bit of work leading up to it ... considering that there is only 3-4 of us on the committe.... then we only had 36 people turn up... which wasn't too bad...so we thought for our first (and may last) trivia night... we only made almost $500 after costs.. We do much better on our Wine and Chocolate nights.....and its not as much work.

Most of our prizes went except 2 chopping boards then two of the girls bought them... so everything's gone...yay...no more storing stuff under my bed..

Mark was bidding on an electric wok which ended up going for $22.... bargain huh... our friends got a family pass to Sovereign Hill for $23....which is worth about $90 I think..

Ok this does sound odd I know... as I was one of the organizers.... but I honestly did win some scrapping vouchers on a silent auction, donated by Blue Bazaar.... thanks Luise and Greg.


The kids are almost ready for camp on Wednesday.... I was a bit upset last night about it... they are all going to be gone.... !! ..Eric bought home a note today that said... parents are welcome to come and wave the children off...but there is to be no obvious cheering....lmao..

phew

alot going on here.... we are having our trivia night on Saturday .... haven't had many bookings.... but we should have up around the 40 mark.. that should be ok..
Still have to finish the posters....and sheets to go onto tables RE:sponsors.
I've just picked up the last of the prizes today from the plant nursery... grabbed some natives.. that way...they should make it through the drought ....lol..

We have some great prizes... electrical goods, marble chopping boards, 3 plants, a car care kit, a model car, (which comes with a stubby holder and key ring), vouchers for Ballarat wildlife park, vouchers for Sovereign hill, 2 vouchers for a meal in a club near by, 2 vouchers from a hair dressers, a set of car seat covers, a mates rates tune up, vouchers and papers from an onliine scrap store, a basket of goodies from a local stamp shop. 2 bottles of red wine from one of our real estate agents.... now I just have to get it all down there...

I've had to reformat my computer and reinstall everything... sigh...

David has his arm in a sling... due to a dirt bike accident he had on Tueday afternoon... the doctors thought he'd broken a bone..but turns out it's slightly dislocated... he goes on camp next week !!
Eric and Em go on camp too.. they are all leave on the same day... and come back on the same day.... it'll be weird with no kids for 2 nights..


New theme for ATC's is Christmas.... still waiting to see who's in before I start..
