Student of the Week....
Local Legend....

As I was away at the Forever Always retreat from Thursday to Sunday I missed out on going to end of term assembly but luckily Craig was there to see Chloe get 2 awards!! She got ""student of the week" at the P-4 assembly and then she also got "local legend" at the P-12 assembly. We are so proud of her as she has been having a few issues with a teacher but hopefully we have worked it all out and I think these awards shows how hard she has been trying to work things out .....well done Chloe xxxx

I had a fantastic time at the retreat....met lots of nice gals (don't want to name everyone in case I miss someone....) and even did a little bit of scrapping....LOL

I have not finished all my layouts but I will post them you will get the idea...

I also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Lou ..... I have been a fan of her work for a while, it is so unique and different. Lou is so lovely and so sweet. She scraped 2 layouts for me and I love how they have turned out....

Thanks Lou xoxoxox

Saturday night's dinner at the retreat we had dress-up in black and bling!!! We also had to decorate mask's to wear....

Here is Briony, Amie and myself...

It was nice to meet Amie as I had heard alot about her from Bri..

Hi Amie .....waving madly.......LOL

Not much else to report on at the moment....school holidays have started so hopefully we will have a quite two weeks, can't believe that it will be 4th term when they go back to school....OMG where has the year gone.

Must run

Take care and love to all

Seriously Busy!!!

Just want to do a quick update... mainly for my records...sorry if it is boring and unexciting

Chloe had her camp to Cave Hill (Monday-Wednesday last week)...she had a great time but came home totally exhausted and full of a cough and cold so had to have a day a home to recover..well she was not really at home she went to Craig's garage and sat in the office with the heater going flat out while she played on the Internet...she was there because I had badminton as Idid not want to miss a week as there is only 2 more weeks to go....I would of stayed at home if she was really sick....I'm not a totally bad mother....

Last Wednesday Velvet had her 12 month immunisations .....(yes we are 2 months behind) and I had a blood test to check on my platelet levels...it has been 7 months since my last test....I only go when I need to or when I start to see a lot of bruising....my levels were 58 which is down a bit from last time 78 (if you don't know 150 to 300 is normal range) I also had my moles checked and was told I need to have 2 of them removed....the Dr thinks the are both fine but he would like to remove them just to be on the safe side....my platelet levels had to be above 50 to get them removed safely so luckily I just scraped in..... and it saved me from having at have a dose of steroids to bump up the levels.....the Dr also said that if you have a lot of bruising there is a higher chance of getting an infection at the wound site....

We had our house sports at school last Friday, It was jasper first school sports and he was SO EXCITED....he was up, dressed, made his lunch, had his breakfast, brushed his teeth and packed his bag all before I had even got out of bed!!! (it was my sleep in morning!!)

This week has been busy busy....In between all the usual SAHM stuff, Monday I went to work for a few hours, that's about as long as Velvet can stay at the garage before she gets bored of being in the office and tries to to get out to the workshop and our with Craig!!!....Tuesday up early for a 6am training session, then went to Horsham so Velvet and I could see our new Chiropractor....she was very nice but a trip to Horsham is a whole day outing as it takes 1 hour and 20 mins to get there.... Today we had the inter school sports over at Boort.....(no photos) Tomorrow I have badminton and a hair trim and then after school Jap has to have a trim....Friday I am going around to catch up with Bri and work out what we need to take on our trip to Sydney which is in two weeks time!!!!

I have more to add but I must go as I can hardly keep my eyes open....but I will leave you with a few random photo's....

take care and love to all
