Cleaning Day

Well today was cleaning day. All children sent to their rooms and I went to mine. After several hours I can see the floor and the bed. I don't know about you but when ever I start to clean the room gets really messy before I start to see any improvement. The children didn't do too well, however...they have had the threat that if they want a lovely Christmas day and they want to have presents, then their rooms must be cleaned.  They know I'm serious and there will be NO opening presents if not done!

One of my friends from dancing is up on Bribie for 10 days, so this afternoon I spent some time with her and her children. After drinks and icecream at scoopy's we sat and watched Declan, Tara and Liam junp off the jetty. Well Declan wanted to jump but chickened out. He couldn't even bring himself to jump off the pontoon. So Liam decided to sneak up behind Declan and pick him up and jump in with him!!! Declan went straight back for more, but still couldn't do it himself, so Liam to the rescue again, and again, and again.

Great afternoon, so thanks Val, Kerry, Lisa and Matthew. Before we knew it, it was 7pm before we started to head home (Thank Goodness we don't have daylight savings)

Christmas Hampers!

Bribie Bowls club hold an annual Christmas Hamper draw on the Tuesday night before Christmas. You have to be present to win. Last year we attended with Ardal's Dad (Grandad) and he won one of the 10 hampers. Which means we actually won as he gave it to us as he spends Christmas day with us.

Well tonight was the draw.        And YES.... he won again!

Tara and Declan are eyeing off what they would like from the hamper!

Time with Friends!

Thanks Girls for a wonderful morning. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what each of use created for our secret santa gifts. Handmade is definately the way to go and I hope we can continue this tradition for many years to come. Thank you all for your wonderful gifts and I promise that next year I will organise my time better so that wach of you receive a wonderfully hand made gift from me.

My aim for 2010 is to remember everyones birthday and make that something special for each of you, as you are all treasured friends. Can everyone email me a list with your birth date and your children's birthday so I can enter them in my diary ready for the year ahead?

After reading Peta's blog, I have decided it is about time I did some cleaning myself and maybe I'll find more than a table but a whole entire house! Yeah...I have been a little slack since breaking my leg and my bedroom looks more like the junk room and we go away on holidays in 5 days! Well beter go and make a start....
