Sun Tan?

I apologise for my slackness in updating. This past week been very busy again. Will just throw a few dot points around as I don't have much time.

We are in Caloundra at the moment. Came up yesterday for a beach holiday. Adrian is up for one week, then Grandma comes up for one week. That way there is someone home to look after the animals and house etc. Me and the kids are here for two weeks - that is very cool. If I don't kill them, that is.

Zali has a huge swollen lump on her lower gum causing some grief, plus a back biggie that is only half through. Hence, she is a little miserable. Caleb, my little tanty boy, is well, having a few tanty's. Forget the terrible two's, don't know who thought of that! It is definitely the Terrible Three's! If he makes it to four with both of us still sane, I think we both deserve a big present!

We headed off to play in the sand first up this morning. He did *not* want to wear his rashie. 'I want annunie shirt!' (another shirt). Over and over he said that, and over and over we said he must wear the swim shirt to be able to play in the sand and water. Eventually I said to try it this morning and if he still didn't like it, he wouldn't have to wear it again. Fast forward to this afternoon and when we finished a swim in the pool, he didn't want to take the rashie off! Remind me, is it the woman's prerogative to change her mind, or a three year olds?

Anyway, busy week preparing for Mel's Hens Night last Saturday, 3 November. I made ribbon lanyards for name tags and take-out boxes personalised for each lady for them to take home. Took me q.u.i.t.e a while for that. Was a lovely evening and I think we all had a great time. I picked up a diamante tiara for the Bride-To-Be who happily wore it all night. I got some photos (haven't seen them yet) which hopefully will turn out well, but not sure when I will get to download them. Most importantly Mel looked happy and was surrounded by lovely ladies to help her celebrate her upcoming nuptials.

I had my first bridesmaid fitting on Saturday morning. Went well and I have another when I get back to Brissie in a few weeks. Can't wait to see the real one, it will be so pretty - the first calico version was a little dull (ha ha).

Um, I don't know what else to mention. I am pretty tired, catching up from a few bad nights and busy days. No doubt I will remember when I don't have internet connection again. Oh, I don't really have internet at the moment, so chat from me will be minimal.

Kerry, catch up when we back. Caleb will be very happy to see Riley in a few weeks, I think he will miss the 'action' of kindy and little school.

Ida, thanks for checking on me. Sorry I been slack with updating! Did you end up getting a trike for Macey?

Janene, Jim and Amy came over for dinner last week, which was lovely. Meant I had two lots of cuddles that week, and I can totally say that Amy will be SO excited to have more cuddles in a few weeks. She likes me. Or it might be that I have a funny freaky type of strange face. I can make her laugh, giggle, smile and look a bundle of happy. It is beautiful. I believe she normally does it for only Mummy and Daddy, and maybe once for Nanna (need to confirm this, J, forgive me if I have written wrong).

Ok, Zali is a bit cross, she has now woken up twice since bedtime, my fingers are crossed for a big sleep tonight. Take care and will chat soon. Our lives return to our normal in December after our holidays and after the wedding.

Love to all.
