Never ending...

After picking Adel up from daycare yesterday, she got inside and told me she was'nt feeling well. So I sent her off to bed to rest. She did'nt look too bad, so I did'nt know what it might be. Anyway, she ended up asleep, but not for long.... she woke up crying a little then... she was sick everywhere. I feel so sorry for kids when they are sick, but other peoples spew is gross - I'm sorry. So there I am holding a bucket and holding my breath and trying not to breathe in! Poor thing! It went on till about 9.30ish then she slept for the rest of the night. So I have her home today, curled up on the couch watching ABC kids. She is very quiet, but I think she is alot better.
On to nicer things..... I have a Mothers Day present swap coming up at the craft group I go to, and the theme is Flowers. So I need to make something floral. I have an idea in mind and am going to start on it today. Will put pics up when I am done!

A LO at last!

Here is a LO I did this week for a monthly challenge on Scrap Lounge. And I love the end result! It is a photo of me and my 2 sisters, and the challenge was to create a LO form the sketch. I have framed it and it is now in my lounge. And BTW , just so you know....... I have a new car now and things are pretty good :) No stress etc this weekend for us, it has been really nice, and to top it off we are going out for tea - a bit of a treat for us.

Thank you Mick

My posts are a little out of order, but I have to say a big thank you to my wonderful hubby Mick. I have forgotten to mention that it was his birthday on Thursday - so Happy Birthday to you! Throughout this whole weekend he has been fantastic. Looking after the girls, buying a new car for me (was'nt his fault it turned out the way it did!!) coming to the hosp with me and waiting aaaalllllll night by my side, helping with Adels party and letting me rest when I needed to. And trips to the shop for school lunch food ready for the girls today. So THANK YOU. I am not sure how I will ever repay all his kindness, but I love him to bits!

Happy Birthday Adel!

Adel had a really nice time at her party! Her and Charli and 2 other girls had fun running around, being silly - there was even a mini water fight and a walk around the pond. She had fun opening her pressies and was given lots of great little goodies! Now she is 5!

Ok, here goes......

Well what a weekend. I have no words for it, but I have been left exhausted - I think we all have. As you know, on Fri my van "broke down" and we knew we would need a new car. So a sleepless night there. I then worked all day Sat, went home to bed, then up to the hospital at 7.30. I had a miscarrige, and was there till 2.30 in the morn. Our lovely neighbour was looking after the girls, but as she was going out for the day, we came home from the hosp, had a couple of hours sleep and picked them up at 5.00am Sun morn. Which was Adels birthday! So we gave her her pressies and went off to the park for a party. Also, on Sat Mick had done some ringing around about the Kia, and also ended up buying me a new car which we were to pick up Mon. So Monday arrives. Up to hosp in taxi for an ultrasound then back home to wait for Mick to finish work. He comes home and we all hop in the car and drive to the other side of the city to pick up our new car - and pull up to find the man under the bonnet. Something is wrong with something there (mmm not sure, did'nt really want to know) so we got our deposit back and went home. There. Hows that?! So no car and now I'll have to spend the day looking for one. My lovely bosses have given me the day off, so I am going to look for a car and rest. Do nothing much. Which sounds like the best thing ever. Here's hoping for a good week! Fingers crossed!

Furious is not the word...

My hubby changed my oil and filter today, only to find there was oil in the water coolant. Well he realised that would be big, but we did'nt think it would be this big. I now need a new car by the looks of things. Aparently the Kias have this trouble and Kia wont do anything about it - they know all about it and dont tell anyone. I am SOOOOOOOO angry. What will I do? I need my car, any car. I am so mad. We have just put new tyres on it, and it is now a worthless pile of metal. I am not happy...

A birthday card.

I made this card for my Father-in-law. I always struggle to make man cards, but I was pretty happy with this one!

Happy Easter!

Easter time has come around already! This came up abit fast for me, so the girls helped make their bonnets with things I got from work, and a cowgirl hat!! The Easter bunny is already to go on Sunday - I just have to make sure I wake up early enough to hide the eggs around the yard for the easter egg hunt - and make sure the dogs dont eat them either! So it should be a nice long weekend - we are spending Good Friday with Trish and family ( can we just aim for the bulls eyes??), then on Sat we are seeing the in-laws. And then YES Adel, the Easter bunny will be there when you wake up!! How many times do kids have to ask "when is the easter bunny coming? Will he be here when I wake up?"!!! And they dont even eat all their chocolate..... I am just hoping we will all be well over the easter weekend. For the last 3 years someone here has been sick (not from chocolate!), hopefully Adels burn was our bit of Easter sickness.... cross fingers... Enjoy your easter everyone!! :)

My tender find...

Look what I got from the Tender Center - is'nt it great!

Ouchie!

Poor Adel! After having a ride on dad's bike (with him, I should say!), she was told to hang on till Mick was ready to get her off........ but in usual Adel fashion, she did'nt hear, and put her leg down..... and burnt it in the exhaust. We put it under the tap, and now it is much better, but I can tell you Mick felt sooo awful! As I said, it is much better, but she still hops around carrying on, she "can't" walk and all that ...... and other times she completely forgets about it!

Quick trip to Sydney!

What a whirlwind! We (Trish, Nicole and myself) arrived in Sydney Tues morn for SIA, a scrapbook trade show, and then got home last night. We stayed at a motel at Olympic park, which was pretty cool to see. The trade show was great and I am now very insipred and have a million things running through my brain! We spent yesterday shopping first at DFO then heading into the city, where we walked up to the harbour. I have to say, despite all the walking, which I complained about like a little kid, it was a great thing to do. We got to see lots of interesting things, and I have to say that I really loved being in Sydney and would love to go back. We hopped on a ferry, and went under the bridge and then went to see the Opera house - all a BIG thrill for me as I have only ever seen pictures of it. So very excited to be there. Our trip was pretty much made up of us 3 crazy ladies taking self-portraits, laughing, pointing, walking, toot stops, walking, laughing, walking across Sydney, and it did'nt stop on the plane, where we (not trish though!!) a glass of wine and got photos taken with the cabin crew by the pilot. The cabin crew were fantastic and put up with us!! Anyway I am exhausted, but will put up a couple of photos. Not sure if this post has made sense, but there is so much to say, and in my tired mind I cant get it out right :)
