Trick or Treat 08

Trick or Treat time again and as Tori understood what it was about this year (lollies) all we kept hearing was "one more house"...lol. The funniest part tho was when someone opened the door to be greated by her yelling "chickaching"...lol

and yes...she changed her mind AGAIN about her outfit!!

Brooke didn't come trick or treating for us as she was waiting...and waiting.. at home for friends to come over for her "Sixteenth Spooktacular" not knowing that Brent had told someone at school that it may have been cancelled (I said that to Brooke the night before when she was in trouble). As a result of gossip spreading through school as it does (and instead of just ringing Brooke and asking her) four of her gf's didn't turn up :0( So not only did she miss out on trick or treating she also missed out on her party as only 2 gals ended up sleeping over instead of 6 :0(

Dress Rehearsal...Sneak Peek

When I brought all the pirate stuff for Brent's birthday I knew what I wanted to dress Tori as for Halloween, but she wasn't having a bar of it...until Natalie brought the costume over on Saturday and then we couldn't get it off her. So come friday when we go trick or treating Tori will be a pirate...hook and parrot and all..lol

Playvan Farm

Last week Tori was in heaven! Due to it being "Children's Week" Playvan provided the kids with lots of animals to squeeze and torment...lol

She had a ball and even though it looked like the guinea pig was going to be the winner again (or the loser depending on how you look at it!) the mice were her favourites this time around :0)

Port Kembla

Looks like a luxury resort somewhere...I wish....but we did manage to get a day away from home as well as our first meal at Sizzler in nearly 3 years!!! All in all it was a great day and we all had a blast!

Marvellous Miss Maddison

Sunday saw us doing a flying visit up home..the boys went straight out to Wollar to check the house and grab a few things, while us girls took a (not so) leisurely drive with Brooke at the wheel....

We all spent the night at Kris and Kate's and got to spend the day with them the next day as Kris wasn't working. It was wonderful just kicking back and relaxing as a whole family again (and I'm now kicking myself as I JUST realised I didn't take a family pic...grrr)

I miss them all sooooo much and wish petrol was cheaper and they were closer so we could see them all more often :0)

From La Perouse to Mudgee...

Well last weekend found us at La Perouse at the beach..not surf like I like but it was really good for Tori even though the water was freezing! and of course when Brent saw the photos today..we have to go back...which we will, it was only a 45 minute drive which is about half as far as Wollongong where we normally go...great to get a dose of Vitamin D!

This weekend sees us heading up to Mudgee to visit with Kris, Kate and Maddison (and the boys will head on out to our place to do what needs to be done) ..Can't wait to see them as it's been about a month since we've seen the girls and a couple of months since we've seen Kris :0(

Watch Out World!

Yup, it's time for everyone to get off the road! Brooke has gotten her L plates!


Congrats, Brooke :0)
