November report

Sorry for a belated report about November as I had a busy start of summer.

November being the eleven month of the year, was also the last month of spring.  Like always I was busy with normal commitments at home, craft and sport.

My Sunday night league of bowling ended this month as well.  We had our break up party and prize presentation held at a sports club near the bowling alley. Both myself and team partner did well with prizes from the social night out until late.

Another best highlight of the month was attending to the second scrap camp at the same venue for two nights.  In spite being a wet stormy weekend, it was a good weekend to stay indoors to be creative and completed many pages as I could.  I was busy finalizing two albums to give as Christmas presents to a couple of relatives who I seen at Christmas (while on summer holidays up north).

Hope everyone had a good Christmas with their families.  And best wishes for a prosperous New Year.  Good luck with whatever goals you might have planned for 2013.

Days are passing too fast

Hi everyoe!  How's your week been going so fast?  This week marks the first week of summer school holidays.  And yes... I have been busy with last minute stuff and fnaliaizng Christtmas cards ready to post.  Normally I am pretty good on organising this in advance but this year I think time just got the better of me.

 

Only have two more sleeps at home then we will be off to my holiday destination in Central QLD for ten days. I am going to spend time with some extended family members and friends over Christmas with my darling 14yo daughter.  Her sister has already started her holiday at Grandma's (who lives very close to a beach).  She left on the weekend and be up there for four weeks.  I can't believe how quiet and stressfree this household has been since she left. Even the cats are enjoying it because the little girl (not really a baby anymore) intends to annoy them all the time.

 

Guess this will be the last blog positng until New Year.  I hope everyone has a lovely festive celebration with someone you care about over Christmas and New Year.

Safe travels!

School year ended

Good morning all!  I hope you all had a good week.  Like always I had a busy week with normal commitments.  School is now over for the year.  The kids will be on school holidays for six weeks until 29th January 2013.

 

There will be a couple of holiday trips planned to leave before Christmas. And I can't wait to have a break from homelife as it has been a while since I last went away on holidays.

 

Both girls had a break up excursion on Tuesday.  The junior high school went to Wet 'n' WIld waterpark and the year 7s from  Rachel's school went to Southbank. Both girls seemed to had an enjoyable day in the water and of course came home abit sunburnt.

 

On Wednesday Rachel had her graduation night, held at her school. Consider how much the guests had to pay for attending,  I was abit disappointed with the presentation of the food served but the presentation of the awards and certificates were good.  The night ended around 9ish! 

 

Better get going as I have a busy weekend planned.  Have a good weekend everyone!

Partying weekend

 

Hi everyone!  How was your weekend?  As usual I was busy with afew events on.  Once school ends this Friday, things will quieten down abit. 

 

On Friday night I was out socializing with the ladies from Wednesday's bowling league until midnight. After we exchanged gifts we had our dinner. I had a lovely chicken filo with salad for dinner.  My dessert was triple chocolate cheesecake. Afterwards we watched some live entertainment, some ballroom dancers, got involved in the raffles and keno and had about half an hour play on the pokies.  I didn't win a cent!!

 

Yesterday Rachel and I went Christmas shopping as she wanted to buy afew presents for her grandparents.  In the evening we went social bowling with some friends.  It wasn't a late night out but I still went to bed late as I was chatting to a close friend for a while on facebook. She was very sad because her special furry friend died last night.

 

The Aquatic and Sports Centre

Today it was the kid's bowling party held at an aquatic and sports centre.  There were afew pools and one water slide for the kids to enjoy.  Most of us adults remained in the undercovered area and socialized while we allowed the kids to get wet and have fun.  Our lunch was a BBQ to choice from a sausage sizzle or steak burger.

 

I think it's time to get some sleep as I will have a busy day at home tomorrow.  Also my Dad will be over for lunch. 

 

Have a good week!

Start of summer

Hi everyone!  How was your week?  As it is getting closer to the festive season, it's generally the busiest time to get things organised and catch up with friends. 

 

Last weekend were late nights because I went to the cinema twice to see two movies and had the final Friday night scrap workshop. This week I caught up with two of my best friends on Monday and yesterday. 

 

Also attended to one scrap meet on Tuesday.  A good thing!  The craft store was air conditioned comfort as it was a hot scorching day here in SE QLD.  Where I live the temperature reached 37.8C (the highest so far all year). I have another two casual meets to go and then I will be on a break for a couple of weeks.

 

Also I have the final scrap workshop and break up to be held next Wednesday.  It was meant to be held this week but the consultant postponed the day as it was too hot to have the event in her garage.  Instead I attended to the last day of bowling league with the social league. Our dinner gathering will be held tonight at a sports club.  I never been there before so I don't know what's on the menu to consume.  I can't drink any alcohol because I got to drive home later on.

 

I have been busy since the beginning of December and school year is coming to a close very fast.   This morning I attended to the last P and C meeting at the primary school. It will be a sad moment when I walk out of the primary school gates next week because of my last child attending primary school. I have met some interesting people over the years and I will miss chatting to them at the school.  I may see them out and about at the shopping centres which intends to happen at times.

 

It's only another week to go before the schools finished off for the year.  At present time junior high schools would be finalizing their end of the year exams and all teachers at state schools would be busy writing up the report cards.  My year 7 daughter will come home with her last report card next Wednesday while my oldest daughter in high school has her report card posted on the last day of school and it should arrived to me in the first day or two of the school holidays.

 

What's on your agenda for this weekend? Probably have a quiet Saturday night at home as on Sunday its the girl's break up bowling party at a local public pool. Also I need to get my card list done and finalized afew albums.

 

Only got another hour before it's time to pick up the kids from schools so better sign off and get afew things done. Whatever plans you got, have a good weekend!
