School holidays are here at last!!!!

No craft items to update this time round. Have been too busy spending time with the family and getting used to Richard's new work hours. He is now working 30+ hours a week, which is brilliant for us. We are always saying how good this move from Toowoomba to Adelaide was for us, but everytime he gets more hours, it just brings home HOW good a move it was. Of course we miss all our friends and Richard's family, but we just have to deal with it.


This week we've had the girls with us. They did their first ever flight from Brisbane to Adelaide on their own. They both thought that they were so grown up and can't wait to do the next trip back home. It was so cute watching James at the airport on Thursday night though. He sat himself down at the big window and watched all the activity on the runway. Everytime he saw a plane land he would say "PLOP" and make a noise. Then when the girls had come off the plane and up the walkway, James decided that he would run down to meet them. The entire way down he would say "giggin, bebe" (Kristen and Phoebe). Once he saw them and gave them a cuddle he let out this massive laugh. He had been waiting ALL day for his sisters to arrive and there was NO WAY he was going to sleep that night.

Tomorrow we are heading off to Victor Harbour for the day, so will have to post some piccies when I'm done. We are hoping to see some whales. I had a look at the Whale Centre Website the other day and there had been a sighting of 2 Southern Right Whales down there, so fingers crossed it's a nice day and we manage to see some. I know that the girls will be REALLY excited to see them.

I can't believe how much Harrison is growing up. Day after day he amazes me with the new things that he does. I think though at the moment, that he has a new tooth coming through. He seems a little off colour and is crying a lot more. So hopefully it comes through soon and he can go back to being his usual charming self. We are getting lots of cuddles and smooches from him during the day when he's at his happiest, which is good. His favourite thing at the moment is to lay on the floor and put his head down, kind of like he's cuddling it. It's so cute.

I've joined up at the gym again, I'm really wanting to loose some weight before my birthday at the end of the year. So I'm going to Fernwood across the road from me. I'm going to try and make it Mon-Fri. I would LOVE to go everyday but that's just impossible while Rich is working. Maybe in the near future when they get a chreche set up then I can go and put the boys in there on the weekends. Will just have to wait and see.

Just added a few piccies of my boys. Haven't got any of the girls until tomorrow.


Well should get going, the girls are wanting to go to bed. Take care and talk soon.

Latest update!!

Sorry for there being no update from me for a while. I have 2 sick kids. They both have Bronchialitis and James has been really clingy. Not to mention getting things organized for James's 2nd Birthday on Thursday. I have how ever been able to get a few things done.


Like usual I have 3 or 4 projects on the go with a few more in the pipeline.


PINK AND PURPLE STRIPED DRESS!!
This is going to be a present for my God Daughter to be's Christening. As you can see I have half finished it. I don't have much time to get it finished, as the Christening is on the 1st July. So really should get a move on. I'm also wanting to do a poncho for her as it's getting really cold in Toowoomba from what I'm being told.


ANOTHER PAIR OF PANTS!!
I found this woll in Big W, unfortunately it's 100% acrylic, but I figured that it won't matter too much for a pair of warm pants for Harrison. Just something that he can wear around the house and to bed.





I also have another pair of pants on the needles for Harrison, as well as my jumper. So I think that I will be busy for a while to come.
Better get going and get these 2 ratbags out of bed before they scream the house down.
Have a good long weekend those enjoying it.
Take care
Gail.

Here they are at last!!!

Well I've finally finished them. I started knitting a pair of longies for Harrison about 2 weeks ago while I was in hospital and have finally finished them about 20 mins ago. I put them on him and they look great. They're a little too big and long so I think I might have to look for the next size down for him but I'm happy with them. Here they are.


Now to start on the next lot... Not sure what colours to do this pair yet. Maybe CROWS colours.. :)
