where has the week gone??lol It has been one of those weeks .Zhan has been so sick and hasnt been to school for 10 days.Hes is not 100% but better so will send him to school.I have done nothing much last week except usual house duties and lost of gardening and of course scrapping-lol.I finished my front garden yesterday and very happy how it turned out.then I trimmed all plants at the back and cut my hands in 100 spots-lol as silly me didnt wear gloves.
We leave in a week for NZ :) and cant wait for 10 days of no housework,no ironing,washing,cooking,driving kids everywhere -just hanging out and having fun as a family and exploring South Island.Should be lots of fun.Im looking forward in buying some new perfumes I have my eye on a new Mark Jacobs-"daisy" :) and probably a new Guess bag and a watch (not that I need either as I have 2 new Guess bags)-lol



This is a kaisier Christmas countown tree I did last week for the kids :)
"25 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS"
this Lo is for a sketch challenge over at Divas .Im very happy how it turned out ."my boys"

this is for a monthly challenge over at Bons and Im in love with this one."handsome boy" hehehhehehe my "cave boy "is a sketch challenge also over at Bons.

nothing much has happened over last few days.Zhan is still quite sick but we havent had the call from DRs with the results from the swab (whooping cough) .Tonight I thought I would have to take him to the hospital as he couldnt cough out and was getting quite stressed-poor bugger.

I have done some gardening today and Im already paying for it :( my carpal tunnel is back and my wrist is sore again.
Im planning to go and get more plants and rocks tomorrow so i can finish the very front tomorrow or on the weekend.
Tom also did the lawns and it looks so nice when its freshly mowed and new gardens at the front-lol

I have been scrapping a fair bit over this week but need to take photos of everything -juts waiting on a nice and sunny day.it has been crappy and overcast for far too long :)

Mia has her orientation day at the "BIG" school next friday and she is super excited.


off to finish a page I started earlier- for white with 1 challenge blog :)

xxx

not much happening here over last few days.
Zhan has been sick with croup so was on steroids for few days and now he has a nasty chest cough :( he hasnt been to school since thursday :( today he fell asleep on his bed while reading some books :)

Mia is good -cheeky.She has definitly went onto another level with her attitude/responses/manners etc so funny.
The other day while at EMilys bday party Em and her were sitting on the lounge and Mia got a book and was reading it to Em.
I mean FULL ON READING word for word .I was listening and was gobsmacked and called Tom over.He was shocked too.
And the book wasnt a easy one -as in 3 words on a page.They were few sentences on each page.
OMG we ddint even know our baby is 5 and can read and she is not even in the shool yet.
I have to admit she does spend a lots of time with Zhan whom is a great reader for his age and he is alwasy teching her he loves to pretend hesa teacher-hehhe-It paid off -lol
VERY PROUD mummy and daddy moment there :)

I got few things for my garden renos but alas nothing is done yet.I have been stuck inside with Zhan>
we are off to New Zealand in 2 week and OMG I havent done anything yet .lol
My in laws are back on Friday from their 3 month European holiday so we will head up to their place on Friday avo.I will make few dishes and take up so we can have a welcome back get together BBQ :) kids re looking forward to it.

I have done few things scrapping wise but havent had a chance to take a photo as it has been shit weather .

WHAT A DAY

I had a shit of a day .In a nutshell I have the shits with OPTUS and I hate it -grrrr
couldnt get my iPhone as it seems like who ever you talk in their shop or customer service they have different information etc.Im so upset that I cant talk about it without swearing and getting so mad-lol

Didnt end up making baked dinner for Zeljko we went out instead.We took him to "OUTBACK" .It was nice but bit exxy for what you get.We paid (well should I say I did-lol) almost $200 for 3 adults and 2 kids and Mia only had a bowl of plain penne pasta.It as very nice tho.

Other than that nothing much happened today.It was raining on and off.
Have lots planned for tomorrow .

I had a phone call from Mias school this morning that she had an accident.My first thought was WTF????? She got hit by some blocks and got a nasty egg on her forehead.Nothing bad -) My poor baby.
Then at about 12.30 I got a phone call from Zhans school that hes in a sick bay and not feeling well.So I went and got him.He was dizzy and just NOT well.I saw his teacher in sick bay as there were few other kids from his class there and she said she has the same symptoms and there is a virus going around-GREAT.

Here is a picture of mias hair (this was taken 2 months ago) and it is about an inch longer .I want to cut a bit off but she goes hysterical every time we mention we gonna cut it off-lol Her hair is her pride and joy-lol




xxxx

another wet and cold day here today :(

I had so much planned but alas nothing well not much anyway got done.
I spend most of the day researching mobile phones and deciding what to get.rally how hard is it ??lol obviously quite hard for me ,well Im picky-lol

well i did finally made up my mind .I decided to get and IPhone and be done with it.So Tom and I went to the Optus store as we wanted to do a bundle with home phone/Internet-wireless/cable/mobile etc etc and we checked online that it IS available at our place ,but when the guys started doing the paperwork he said sorry cant have it at your place.What the f....?????
I was so mad and walked out with the SHITS .
Tonight I did online application again and rang the customer help etc and they both said the same thing we CAN have it....So we have to go back tomorrow and sort it out HOPEFULLY
I just hope NOONE wanted an iPhone as that was their last one and they had in on hold for mew since 1pm today.will se what happens.

its Toms brothers bday today and hes coming over for dinner tomorrow nite .Im not sure what iw ill make but probably roast dinner as i find them so easy :) and will make his fave desert-my fab tiramisu.

Would like to get down to Freedom tomorrow too but not sure if time will permit?????

Zhans monogram for his room.He picked PP and a dinosaur :) he is a DINO mad boy and PP matches his dona cover perfect.

Mia monogram for her room.Its huge and very heavy.colors are not quite right its more pink than orange..She picked flower and Butterfly..










the 3 Los above I did at Mel's class (scrapbook divas) few weeks ago.I love how they turned out even tho I have changed it a bit :)

Love how this turned out too.Its from Charms class over at Bons scraps.this is one of my faves photos of Zhan.In the photo his eyes look so real and alive .Sparkly and so dark.This photo doenst do them justice....

We have been busy over last few days and OMG I was gld the weekend was over.We hardly spend any time at home and kids were so tired on Sunday nite-hehehhe

Im also been looking at mobile phones as I need one.I had my heart set on PRADA one but after sooo many phone calls etc to try to find one it wasnt meant to be :( although I could get one from Crazy Johns but they are on VIDEOPHONE network but Im not so happy with their coverage and have decided not to get it :( So have been looking at SO MANY other ones and OMG how hard is it to chose a bloody phone??????Well let me tell you HARD.I think I might go for an IPhone.....?????? will see what I actually end up with when I go to the shop tomorrow -hehehhehe

its only 3 weeks until we are off to New Zealand too.I have so much to do before we go .

Im also in the process of redesigning our front garden and back too:) Cant wait for it all to be finished.Need to get few more quotes etc so it will take a while but I can see FINISHED products so that will keep me gong-lol

Im child free tomorrow so will be visiting few garden centres as Im after a particular Buddha and rocks that I cant find-Im so picky ...hehehhehhe

Also want to do some scrapping for BONSSCRAPS CC :) The challenges look great :)
