McKenzie had an accident at Vacation Care

I got an email from Ben saying that Vac Care had phoned him and said that Kenz had had an accident and she may have broken her foot! So of course I was all panic stations at work. Ben phoned me when he got her home and said that she hasn't got a broken foot and that she had been doing cartwheels on the veranda and snacked her foot into the drink troughs.

Apparently when they had phoned Ben they actually told him that they should she needed stitches and had broken her foot - he missed that part out (about the stitches).

but thankfully it wasn't that bad after all.

Then Ben dragged her out and went and picked up MY NEW CAMERA - a Canon EOS 40D!! I had a quick look at the camera tonight, but the first time I'll get to use it will be on Friday when I'm helping Trudy shoot a wedding.

Dinner with Kent

Went to work today - nothing exciting happened - just still looking for a bridesmaid dress.

After work, Kent came over (as he's up from Melbourne) and we had pizzas on the deck. It was great to catch up with Kent and he's up here until next Monday, so hopefully we'll get to see him again at some stage.

Heading down the coast

Today we caught up with Mum and Dad down the coast for Dad's (and Nanna's) birthdays.

We had a great spot on the Broadwater and everyone showed up which was great.

There were us 4, Mum and Dad, Nanna, Roshy & Andy and Rich, Beck, Bree and Zac.

A big pirate party set up near us (it was a kids party but all the adults were dressed up to) and they hogged the bbqs (that Dad had actually come down earlier and scrubbed clean) so we all packed up and moved to another spot - that was a task and a half!!

I took some snaps on my Olympus camera, but I might wait and see what photos Beck took as she took her good camera, first.

Then we got home about 3.30pm and then took Oscar for a big walk.

Lunch at Tresona's

Today we headed up to Tresona and Aaron's place at Lowood - gorgeous countryside up there, nice and hilly!

It was great to see Tres and Aaron and actually know where they are living now.

Lyn, Steph, Sophie, Ruby (the pup), and Aaron's daughter Grace were all up there and the kids had a good time catching up.

We had a lovely lunch and it's very relaxing up there - must be the country air!!

Thanks for having us guys!

Ben had a wedding on.

Dad's Birthday

And today was Dad's birthday. Dad worked with his houseboat mob and they put on a few drinks for him, so he was pretty happy about that!! We're going down the coast on Sunday to see Dad and Nanna for a BBQ in the park on the Broadwater.

This morning I met up with Angela (my cousin) and Aunty Carol, Ang's kids, Jane and her 2 boys and some other people and took the kids to see Pinocchio run by a little theatre company (they were all school kids) at Yeronga High.

It was really good - the kids did a great job! And all of our kids enjoyed it too!

I think it's great taking the kids to see something cultural as I don't think I did that as a kid, I don't think I went to a theatre production until I was probably in my late teens!!!

Afterwards we went to McDonalds for a bite to eat and for the kids to run around in the playground.

And I was actually organised and gave Dallas and Lexie their birthday presents, Dallas' birthday is in about 2 weeks, and Lexie's isn't until early December but I probably won't get to see them before then - so for once I was actually VERY ORGANISED!!!

Dom had a huge sleep afterwards as he was worn out.

Nanna's Birthday

Today is Nanna's birthday - so we gave her a call in the morning. She was going out down the coast with Mum & Dad and some friends of hers. I wish Mum had said something, since it is school holidays, we could have come down.

Anyway, we ended up going to Brookside, then shopping at Aldi's and Coles - pretty boring, but we sort of needed a bit of time at home.

I took the kids to the park in the afternoon for some photos (I haven't taken photos for ages and I need the practice!). But it was a bit of a waste of time because the kids just wanted to play on the swings...

Here's some photos - nothing flash, just a bit of fun...

School Holidays

This week has been the school holidays.

Mon-Wed I worked - nothing exciting happened at work.

Kenz went to Vacation care - they had a Cooking day, drama day and bring your bike along day.
