Bella's Been Taking Photos Again

Yes that's right Bella has hijacked the iPhone and been very busy taking photos of herself again. Seems that icecream cones aren't just for holding icecream after all.

SIC February Challenge

This is going to be a fun one for me, my favourite 80's band would have to be Spandau Ballet, oh the memories, the posters I had on my cupboard doors, the songs I know them so well.

My favourite song how hard to pick just one as I loved them all, but I have picked To Cut A Long Story Short and for a blast from the past check this out.

My best friend Marie and I were so excited to be going to see them and had our sign to hold up for the night, we had a ball!!!

Back at Work

Well back to work today, Bella was up and ready early and well she was dressed appropriately as you can see, my little Wonder Woman!!!

At Work with Mum and Dad

Well here's Friday, what do you do on a hot day when your 7 and you go into work with your mum, and you just can't cool down cause its 40 degrees and the aircon is just not cooling you down and even though its on its still at least 35 inside. You change into your swimmers of course and then you get one of the boys to turn on the fire hose and fill a tub with cold water and create a makeshift dipping pool to keep yourself cool. Have to say that I was mighty jealous of her pool, could have done with one of those for myself.

Happy Australia Day

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYBODY!!






We had a slow start to the day this morning after an awesomely late night last night. Bella was up early though and ready to go and bounce on the trampoline this morning, I said no way honey its too early, she didn't want to come back to bed with me, so said that it was okay for her to go and lie on her lounge and watch some cartoons for a while so that's exactly what she did while I went back to bed and caught up on a bit of sleep.

When I got up there she was sound asleep on the lounge oohhh bliss!!!

We had a lovely Australia Day around at mum and dads, catching up with Rich and Val, Stacy and Katie our favourite Travel Agent. Lots of laughs some good Aussie Lamb Roast fresh from the Weber and Pavlova's as made by Bella and I.

Bella got to wear the dress that she was so excited to be going to wear in Bali last year, but didn't get to as she was in Hospital here in Perth, was a much nicer Australia day for all of us this year that's for sure.

Australia Day Eve

Tonight we headed to Rochelle and Glen's for a pre Aussie Day Sausage sizzle, with the neighbours, had an early start, getting there about 5pm for an early night for the kids. Well said early night resulted in us getting home after 1am oh dear, had a fantastic night with great friends, time certainly does fly when your having fun.

A big thumbs down to their neighbour though who is definitely a party pooper, knocking on the door telling us to turn the music down, hello we had kids asleep on the lounge, our music was not loud at all you silly woman. How very un-Australian of you not caring if it was Australia Day or not.

The boys had a fun time, especially with a packet of sparklers as you can see above.

Dance Like No-ones Watching

Well you can if your mum isn't called Jo, and constantly has either a camera or an iPhone in her hand, or your daugher is called Bella and is constantly dancing and posing in front of said camera or iPhone.

Bella was enjoying dressing up in her new dancing outfit and doing a bit of dancing while watching an episode of Glee.

She really loves to dance and is looking forward to her classes starting again in a couple of weeks time. In fact she has picked up another class this year and is now doing Hip Hop on Thursdays.
