June Long Weekend

We went to Caloundra for the June long weekend to celebrate Rod's birthday.  The weather was beautiful, and all had a lovely relaxing time.  The boys had their first successful fishing experience, one that I am sure will be fondly remembered for a long time!

Ipswich Show 2009

We went to the show today.  The boys enjoyed themselves (I think). Here are a few snaps I took whilst there!!

Will's First Soccer Game

Will had his first outdoor soccer game yesterday.  His team won 3 - 0, and he surprised us with his skill and focus!!  Well done BIG BOY!!

---I have no idea why this is all underlined!!!

School Reunion

I had my 15 year reunion last night.  Caught up with my close friends, Brad, Aileen and Leigh, and some not-so-close friends who were happy to 'catch-up' anyway!!  I made an attempt to look glamourous, and didn't scrub so bad.  It's funny that I was expecting all the 'popular' girls to still look fantastic, but soon found that life and babies has similar effects on most 32/33 year old bodies :-)...........we all looked pretty good for 32/33 year olds.

It will be interesting to see if a 20 yr reunion happens, and if just as many 37/38 year olds realise how unattractive excessive alcohol consumption looks......not to mention the health effects.

I'll get off my soap box now.

THE END of the day

I was on the phone at the boys bedtime last night.  Tom was happy to read his book - a really cool book that has a line that goes right throughout the book which creates all the illustrations.  I came it to find him asleep with the book propped up on his lap.  THE END of the day of a prep boy's life!!

Here are my entries. 5 finalists in each of the 5 categories will be announced on the November 3.....so when my pic shows up a finalist - you'll all be able to vote for me!!

William St

Will's Gym hall is on William St Malanda.  We were there today for a demonstration day today, and decided that seeing as I had the camera handy, we should get a few photos with Will in William St.

Sorry, no photos from the gym display.......dark hall with fast moving children and a zoom lense = HORRIBLE PHOTOS!!
