RIK'S HOME......WOOHOO

As you read in the heading LOL. Rik is home. Things are great, love my man dearly.

In other news Anabell had fun on camp and really loved going to the the Penguin Parade.

On Saturday, hopefully we are off to see our friends little bundle of joy. He was born nearly 3 weeks ago but as Rik went to NZ we did get a chance to visit yet. Hopefully I will get some pics.

If you are at Bunnings Frankston on Sunday the 30th, Jasmine will be singing with her School Choir at about 11am. Anabell will be joining in for a few of the songs on her recorder. Our school is having there yearly Sausage Sizzle. Come and say hi if you are there.

Why do I leave it so long before I update???

Ok here goes.....long post ahead. LOL

Hope everyone is keeping well.

Saturday the 8th

I have been feeling a bit lost of late, as Rik went to New Zealand on the 8th of this month. I have not spend this long away from him. I hate it. Some of you might be saying enjoy the peace.....LOL He went over to do some painting for his parents. Also to spend some time with his mum as she is getting worse. Chemo and radiation is not helping the cancer.

We had to drop Rik of in Frankston to catch the Airport bus at 6am in the morning. So we were up at 5am in the morning.

That afternoon the girls and I had to get organised as we had to go to a birthday party. The party went well, most people piked at about 2am in the morning.

Sunday the 9th

I was still up with the birthday girl and another friend till nearly 6am. So I had now been awake for more than 12 hours. Thought I better get some sort of sleep. Up again within 4 hours. LOL.....my eyes felt so heavy.

I helped clean up and just relax the afternoon away. The girls were kept busy with the other kiddies that were there. Which was great as they were already missing dad and were very clingy to me. As some ppl know about the dramas in my life last year at about this time, some scary memories came back and the girls were worried.

We ended up having dinner there as well. Then we had to come home as Rik rang the girls to say hi.

Wednesday the 12th

I had to take Jasmine down to Frankston K-mart as her school choir sang some Christmas Carols. I was very proud of her.

The donut place outside K-mart made this Donut Cake for the kids when they finished singing, before having to drive them back to school.

And here is a couple of the K-mart employees, dressed up for the occasion. They even danced at one point.

It was a great morning.

Friday the 14th

Today our school had our Fare. The girls really enjoyed it a lot. I was broke at the end of the night. With rides costing $5 each. LOL

Saturday the 15th

Not much happened today, did the usual cleaning. Did a little scrapping and we went up the road and hired out some DVD's.

Sunday the 16th

Today, we headed of to Skate World. The girls had a ball as per usual. Karen dropped in to have a chat. Great catching up.

Wednesday the 19th

This morning we had another early morning as we had to be at school by 8:15am. Anabell left to go on camp. They were going to Phillip Island. The house is so quiet at the moment as it is Just Jasmine and I. I had to laugh, as Anabells bag is nearly as big as her.

I have had a few problems with Anabell lately, as she has this huge phobia about being fat. She hasn't been eating her lunch at school. She is only eating at home, but tries to put off having breakfast and lunch. I had to have a really big talk to her, and I have to keep an eye on her. There isn't that much of her as it is. My little girl is only 9.

I have also finally finished a LO. It has taken forever to do. Don't know why. It is a double one that I have put in a frame that sits in the lounge room. I couldn't get a good photo of it in the frame. I will try again another day.

And a few close ups, of the dimension

Take care

Baking......

Hope everyone is well.

On Saturday arvo, Miss S came over for a visit and a sleep over. Felt a little strange having a baby in my room again, and I didn't like that fact the I was woken at 2:30am in the morning. Miss S still wakes up in the early hours in the morning for a bottle. Miss S's mum picked her up on Sunday morning just after 11am.

I have been baking again. Last night I made Date and Walnut Scroll Bikkies. I have always wanted to try a Pumpkin Pie, so last night I made that also. I was disappionted with the Pumpkin Pie, wasn't as nice as what I was hoping. So I won't be making it again in a hurry......LOL
