Oh the pain

It all seemed like a good idea yesterday, while the kids were at kinder l thought it would be a good idea to clean their rooms, and change them around. But l am now feeling it. I woke this morning and was not even able to lift my arms up, they were so sore. And all b's l moved their beds around, they are rather heavy.... I even pulled the sliding door off Tahlia's wardrobe as l was leaning on it and trying to push Tahlia's bed against the wall... won't be doing that again.

Oh well at least the kids are happy with their rooms, and l won't be needing to do it all again any time soon.

So l think some pandadol and a relaxing afternoon is in store for me.

Swimming lessons

Both kids now spend their Friday mornings at swimming lesson's. I was a bit worried about Tahlia as she is a bit shy in new situations and was wondering how she would go in the pool with Renee sitting at the side. But there was no need to worry as she was more then happy to get into the pool

Tahlias New Toy

There have been a few fights and arguements in our house recently, with the younger 2 of the family.

A common ourrance in ones household? Yes.

How to deal with it? Easy.

She has taken to riding Nate's bike, so we thought it was best to go out and buy her own for her. Espically with the long weekend coming up. Last time we were away the poor girl had to take her trike which was not a good combineration with the rocky roadways/pathways. Many tears and tantrums.

So we looked on good old ebay and found her a bike just like Nathan's but had a more girly look, mich to Tahlia's delight.

So there have been a lot of bike rides here recently. We took them around the lake the other evening and they did very well. We were so proud of them, we had not planned to do the 4km round trip but both kids were like pro's and we had a hard time trying to keep up with them. Tahlia fell off just the one but like the champ she is, she was soon back on and making car noises, and ringing her bell to let everyone who was out walking she was around and to get out of her way.

It was a pleasent evening, and we were once again blessed with an amazing sunset and the skies colour changing as the sun headed to bed. Here are some photos of the changing colour of the skies.

What amazing colour...

I love a Summers Sunset.

Photography

Slowly getting there and learning more about my camera and how to take photos. Here are some l have taken. Not sure if l can link my flicker account where l have edited them on there onto here. So these are the unedited pics.

8 Years Today.

Where has the time gone? I can't believe 8 years have flown by. In a way it feels only like yesterday and then is also feels like only 8 years... feels like we have been together forever. We have done and achieved so much in the last 8 years. I remember the day of our wedding, it has rained all week and l was worried it would be a cold and wet day for our wedding. But no we had the opposite and it got up to 37 degrees and was HOT. So hot that l even suffered some sun stroke but was prayed over and was able to enjoy our day at the wonderful Riverlea Estate in Warrandyte ( l believe it is now closed for the next 2 years for works and is now owned by someone else). Exchanged our vows by the lake and then had our reception in a marquee with a bush dance theme (including band) which was a HIT.

Still laugh to how the best man had spent the week before our wedding following us around (unknown to us) trying to find where we might hide our car so he could find it can "decorate" it for us. What a good plan it was to hide it at our neighbour's house, up the road. They never even thought to look there.... Renee used to work with her at Banksia and we thought it was a good and safe plan to park it there.

One of the guests drove us to the car's hiding place and not even they knew where the car would be. Planned work well. And just as well as we were on the boat to Tassie the next day.

Happy anniversary Nigey.... love you.
