back to school 2011

yes the kids are "back to school" . They love school - lucky

Neah's teacher is "Mr Payne" , but thus far is not showing attributes which would confirm his moniker.

Rilla has 2 teachers who job share her class, an ALL girls class : )

Olly - is the only person in her class to "get 3 stickers" this week from her teacher - Mr Hillary,

( who is a tad cute, can i say that ? )

But me, moi. Am also a student again this year. I start week after next.

Am so excited. Enrolled in Certificate IV in Printing and Graphic Arts.

I'll keep you updated on the cool things I'll learn ( if I'm a good student ! )

might be able to tizzy up this blog ?

quick road trip

The kids had a few days stay at 'Carrathool Grandma's". We all went out 2 (?) weekends ago. After church in Griffith on the Sunday, the girls went back home with my mum & dad, and so Brad and I had a few short days by ourselves.

I drove back myself the following Wednesday, stayed a night then we went on all the way out to Tallimba, to visit a very special part of our family - Karlynda. Who stayed with us and helped us out when the twins were babies.

Now she has her own cute little bambino's. : )

yummy ! Viarna

what can say ? adorable. Lewis

Nearly at Mum & Dads. beautiful bridge - well it once was. has not been maintained properly, which is a shame. It's rather old and is a 'lift' bridge. One span can (or used to) lift up so that the paddlesteamers laden with fine Riverina Merino wool could pass through.

dirty windscreen - big wide open Hay Plains. Straight flat roads forever. i ask you - how can one travel at only 100 kms an hour here ?

still skiing , lots.

Neah - a little dot on a knee board , looking down from our garden.

Brad, looking a little dark !

Peggy, keeping an eye on things.

Lake is still high - 90 % tho we are now spoilt and lament even this 10% loss from full. It means there is a gap (gasp ! ) from the grass to the water !

I'm not a skiier - I'm a kneeboarder - so maybe thats not as 'cool' as skiing - but let me tell you I have a Lot, yes lots of fun on it : )

On a sad-ish note - the kids go back to school on Monday : (

hello , happy new year

'L O V E ' letters. in my bedroom. i love them.

have been spending heaps of time swimming in Lake Hume . Its pretty full. And we are pretty lucky. It's in my backyard. Pretty much. Actually, the fuller it gets, the less backyard I have ?

Hi , it's late - this could be a bit of a rambly funny post ?

And I'm wondering - who's reading my blog ?

.. Hello ... I know you can see me .. wish I could 'see' you !

leave me a comment - or if your a sweet shy type - send me an e-mail

threesweetpeas@live.com

please ?

it'll keep me motivated : )

I'll post more !

new home

Well it's beginning to look and feel a bit like a new home - and Fresh and Clean !

This part of the painting was done back in October while we were in New Zealand.

I am loving the black on the kitchens pitched ceiling.

Lots of clutter still about in these pictures some painting still going on.

Now we have half the house with new floorboards - bit of chaos this weekend with beds and most of our furniture out on the verandahs !

Should be finished all the flooring by Friday next week.

More pics next weekend !

6 more sleeps

Do you like to count down to exciting events by sleeps ? I do. Six more sleeps until the flooring layers come and start laying new floors in our home. Hurrah !

Farewell to the mint ? green carpet with its pastel pink pinkish pattern.

Farewell to the carpet that has suffered the indignities of potty training twins.

Farewell to the slippery scary tiles in the entrance.

Farewell to the grey / pastel toned geometric lino in the kitchen.
