SS Day 5 2013

Today was golf and shopping day. An annual event at SS and a good one! Clearly the boys go to golf and the girls shop. Yes we go to the session in the morning - well the girls do - and shop in the afternoon.

Xavi loves his Uncle Michael

Delicious meatballs made by Steph - really good.

Jen bought these for the kids from the chocolate shop in Leura. Trippy! Cool!

SS Day 4 2013

Today was hot! Just hot! We spent the day checking the RFS app and watching the temperature. We spent a quiet day inside after program trying to escape the heat.
We went to Blackheath pools in the evening which helped take the edge off a grumpy, hot day. (It was probably just me who was grumpy but I hate the heat so there was no way around it)
Mike made us a really delicious lamb roast for dinner which we ate after the kiddies had gone to bed and all was quiet.
I should have taken photos at the pool but I didn't take my phone so insert cute swimming photos here.

SS Day 2 2013

Not many photos taken today but the excitement of Xavi & Chloe catching the bus for the first time was in the air!! They seemed to enjoy the bus and the program - little bits of the experience have been told throughout the day.
The rest of us are easing back into the SS groove.

SS Day 1 2013

I am not sure if today counts as Day 1 or not? Anyway The Gillies are in the pretty house so I'm going with yes today is Day 1.
After a very 'boring' trip up - yes a whole 1.5hours in the car with a lunch stop - we are such mean parents....we are here.
It's very quiet as the Sams' and Steph are yet to arrive. (We all know that really Steph is the noisy one but I thought I should include the Sams')
We have put the shopping away (thank you Jen, Steph and Coles online) and are watching the cricket. It's a nice way to start but we can hardly wait to see our Adelaide friends!!!! Xavi has already had a tantrum cause he won't see Aunty Jen until tomorrow!
Here are a few shots of the day so far....

Seth won this game!

Some home decorating

It's been a long time coming and after taking all the Christmas decorations down the house looked really bare. With the help of Liz, who not only is great at spotting a bargain and decorating, but is happy to spend my money we began the house improvement.
It's a work in progress but I am much happier - it looks like we love it now rather than just being blank walls.....stay tuned!
