Is there any more Champagne?

WOW! What a great week-end. Scott had to work yesterday so we cleaned the house. (as you do right). But last night we went, kid free, to a friend's house for their birthdays. It was a fantastic dinner party. The food was fantastic and the company even better, if possible. 11 people and everyone clicked and had the same type of personality. To top it all off one minute it was 11pm and then someone got up and started moving because it was 12.30. That's what I call having a good time.
Today, we have been at a picnic with a few of Scott's cousins and his brother. Again a great day and lost track of time, and more champagne (something about the hair of the dog). We went to newfarm park which is always good value. On the way to dropping Andy home we went to the Coffee Club for some take-aways and he picked up some slices (which we ended up bringing home - going to be another great dessert night.
I have faced some challenges over the last couple of days - I have had to face some difficult situations and talk to some people I do not feel comfortable around. I have astounded myself and risen to the occassion and not done too badly. Ok, so we'll never be best of friends but it will make school and family functions a little easier. I'm so proud of myself.

Where Does Time Go

It's Wednesday! Where has the week gone? I suppose between ironing, cleaning and getting everybody from A to B there's not much time left. Just went on the Yahoo 7 and found that Grey's Anatomy season 3 starts next Sunday. Wow, didn't think it would be this soon. Well, just another night of TV. We have had a pretty good week so far, I have my emily challenge up to date and just have to do this weeks. I will try and post them later. It has been alot of fun and pretty quick and easy. Ella has had Kindy for the last 2 days (1/2 days) and she has loved it. Today she did some painting - I think that is her favourite thing. I had to bribe Bailey to leave today - a vienese finger from Gloria Jeans as yesterday we dragged him out kicking and screaming to stay. He did not stop until we got to Ascot. We went to this cute little cake shop - Vanilla Pod. It would have to be one of my favourites. Yesterday was one of my friend's birthday so we bought her a treat while we were there - A baby bread and butter pudding. I hope she liked it as much as our sweet muffin. Anyway, must attempt to start dinner as we have run out of milk and will need to pick up Scott. House returns tonight and here's hoping to being able to get up early tomorrow and try some skipping (was successful last Thursday but none since, mainly been concerntrating on being organized). This is one of my latest pages in one of the pencillines sketches.

Lazy Week-ends

Saturday again! We had Scott's parents come to pick Tom up for a play (his reward for getting to 20 points this week) so I made a huge lunch and made them stay. It was great - potato bake, sausages, ham, salad, cherios and pasta. What a great way to start a week-end, especially since I didn't open my eyes until 9.30am (yes you read right), I think Scott had already put in more than a day's work in the garden by then. Danny's gone to watch the Kookaburras play hockey at SHC with a friend. So the house is a bit quiet.
Yesterday ended our first week of school. We made it and the house and myself are still organised. More good news it rained and our air conditioning is fixed! So glad. Went for coffee on way home from picking Scott up and ran into some of his family, nice to have a catch up. Anyway, going to try and start my Emily challenge before dinner. Brontx
