Dentist drama....

Well, today was the day.  Abbie was booked into the dental van to have 2 teeth out.  They're back ones, only baby teeth, but they have a little absess each.  She has had 2 temporary, and unsuccessful, fillings in both,  so we are now having to have them out.  She has been on antibiotics all week to get rid of the absesses.

Anyways....get to the dentist and Abbie just cried.  I don't think I've ever seen her so scared.  After 30 minutes of gentle, then firm coaxing, we gave up.  The dental ladies were SO lovely. 

So, I have now got an appointment with an Paediatric Orthodontist (I can hardly pronounce this!) this afternoon to have the teeth looked at.  Then they can put her under a general anaesthetic in the surgery to have both teeth removed.  OR, we could wait 8 to 10 months on a waitlist to have it done under public health.  I can't imagine making her wait any longer though, it must be so uncomfortable.

I cried a little.  I had great teeth as a kid and it kills me to think my poor little girl needs to have 2 removed under a general.  I think it's just the thought of her going to sleep.  It may happen next Thursday.  Have to wait and see what comes of today.

Oh well, that's my drama for the day, the week and this holiday!!  Hope everyone else is having a better break so far!!!

A big change.....

Well, it's official, I'll be teaching at Kallangur SS next year!  I missed out on the first round of transfers but by a stroke of luck, I have been posted.

Kallangur is only a short distance from my place!  I am really excited, nervous, scared and terrified that the new staff may not like me!!!  BUT, a change closer to home is what I need so here goes....

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!!

Netball, last game and break up!

Hi all!  Well, we've had a fab weekend, but I am very tired!  Caitlyn and Abbie had their last games of netball and net-set-go yesterday.  Abbie was so excited to get her little medal.  Caitlyn's team won their last game and then they were also awarded their medals from PRNA.  Mum and Nanna came to watch too!!

Today, we headed off to a park at Bald Hills to have the club break up day.  Caitlyn and Abbie played a lot of games run by the teams and then Caitlyn got her trophy and photo.  It was such a nice day and the girls were very worn out this afternoon!

We have skating next weekend for the team break up, and that will officially be the end of the season! 

I also met up with two fab ladies yesterday for coffee and a chat and found out that transfers come out on the 10th Sep!  I get so nervous thinking about it, hope the outcome is good!!!

Net set go and a day out!

Hi all!  Yep, I've been pretty slack with my blog lately, so thought I'd share a little of our goings on!  Firstly netball.  Abbie signed on for Net, Set, Go when Caitlyn started netball, but about 4 weeks in, she decided she didn't like it and only wanted to play a real game like Caitlyn (she was only doing skills).  So I let it go, and she has just been watching Caitlyn play for the last few games.  Anyways, to cut a long story short, she's attending again and I had to share this photo of her in a bib!  Much to her delight, they now actually play a short "game" each week!  She loves it, but there is only one week to go!  Oh well, at least she's finishing well!

In other breaking news, today we decided to head up to Redcliffe.  I've been keen to check out the markets since Deb and Toni had a stall there, but their weekends always seem to clash with our arrangements!!  So off we went.  The girls were so excited!

First we walked across the jetty! 

Then went for a stroll through the markets and the kids had a jump on the jumping castle.  After we had a little splash on the seaside and the girls took delight in getting their toes and most of their shorts wet!!            

                                                                                                                         

We then drove to Scarborough Park where we had calamari and chips and the girls had a ball playing on the equipment and trying to climb trees!

Anyways, we're home now and I'm fairly tired!!  Will try to blog more regularly, but no promises as life just continues to be busy!!! 

 

Busy busy....

So, life has been a little busy lately.   We've had netball carnivals, weekends away, sickness and a hospital visit (not related!). 

I guess I'll start in Esk. Toni, Deb, Katrina, Tracey (hi!!), Tanya and myself went off for a lovely weekend in Esk! It was great and suprisingly warm due to a great fireplace! I got a fair bit of sewing done, thanks to Deb's wonderful tutorials!!

Also made Caitlyn a little pack for her birthday (notebook, texta container and card).  It is always lovely to get away!

This week I've been crook since Wednesday. :(  Think it's just the flu, but am still today coughing and sweating!!!  Yuk!  Hopefully I'll recover soon!

On top of my sickness, Thursday afternoon (after having the day off work) I decided I felt a little better so I'd try to use superglue to hold a draw together.  To cut a long story short, I got superglue in the corner of my left eye and a little around it.  Off to drs and hospital from 3pm to 6.30pm, all OK.  Should bead and come away on it's own accord.  No probs so far, so I guess that's good!

Anyway. I've got another busy week ahead with Caitlyn's birthday and party!  Can't believe she is going to be 9!!!  The time goes so fast!

Hope you are all healthier than me and just remember, superglue does NOT go in your eyes!!!!!!!!!!

Scrapping in my PJs!!

Hi all!  Well, unfortunately this is the last day of hols again!  I still find it unbelievable how quickly our holidays go, but I guess that's life!  I went to Blossies last night with Vicki and Janet to scrap in our PJs!  It was from 12 noon to 12 midnight, so I'm a little weiry this morning but very happy with what I did!!

I started on a tissue box holder and cards and finished on them as well.  I loved using my new Forever Friends block and hedgehog stickers!  Janet was using some Russian doll paper, and kindly gave me some too!  Thanks Janet!  Here they are....

Then I scrapped Abbie's excursion to the farm last year!  It's taken a while but I"m happy with the result.....

I also scrapped Caitlyn and Abbie's school fete from last year.  Lots of big photos, so made little album stuck to the front of the page....

Both have a few captions to be written in, but overall I was pretty happy with them!

Hope you all enjoy your last day of hols!

A little card

Hi all! Have had a lovely day with Toni and Deb at the park.  The kids are now EXHAUSTED and I am happily blogging and soon going to be getting ready for a night in gold class seeing Eclipse again!!  Can't wait!

I just wanted to share a little card I made for my niece's 18th birthday which was yesterday!  I loved using my new forever friends paper!!

Have a lovely day everybody!!

Eclipse was AWESOME!!!

Hi all!  Last night I set up with 7 other fabulous ladies who I am very lucky to call my friends to see Eclipse!  It was great!!  Still went to quickly though, which seems to be a common amongst those who read the book first, but I do think it's the best movie of the series so far!

Thanks to Vicki who gave me the most gorgeous set of candles for my dining room table!  Aren't they gorgeous?

Also thanks to Debbie who made me a gorgeous bag with matching mini zipper purse!  I LOVE the denim and red flower fabric!!  Can't wait to use it!

Finally, thanks to Toni who made me a gorgeous little bag to use in my brand new bag! 

I am so lucky to have wonderful friends, and although we don't get to catch up all that often, it is always great when we do!  Thanks for a great night ladies!!!

Another little pressie!

Maxine gave me some money for my birthday so, as any good scrapper would, I headed for a scrapbooking shop!  I found the cutest things!!

First a set of Forever Friends small squares of paper (50 sheets).  Perfect for cardmaking!  There is a huge, cute variety of papers and some even have the little bears on them!

The other purchase was a set of super cute stickers!! Check them out!

I was so excited when I left the shop and can't wait to use them soon!  Perhaps in Esk???

Now, only 1 more sleep until Eclipse!  I watched Twilight last night and am watching New Moon at the moment!  I can't wait!!!

My birthday....

Hello all!  Well I had a lovely day Monday and was thoroughly spoilt!  I got a small sleep in and then the girls gave me their presents.  It's so nice to get exactly what you like! 

The girls disappeared for some "secret business" and I was soon called to Caitlyn's room where Abbie had been wrapped up!!!  Pretty cute!!

We went to see Toy Story 3 and it was awesome!!  We just loved it and I even cried at the end!!  Ha!  Fantastic animation! 

Monday night my Mum and Dad and Sharryn, John and kids came around for cake! 

Mum actually MADE me a card and this lovely voucher to say that she had paid for my Esk retreat!!  I love them!  I had a giggle because Mum never makes my cards, so I love the effort!! Thanks Mum you're the best!

Have a guess what I'm seeing twice?!!!  Friday night and then Monday night.....

Yep gold class!!  Sharryn had booked these before I organised Friday night, but I don't mind!  Sean and I will see it together with Sharryn and John Monday night in GOLD CLASS!!

I got the loveliest cards this year, a really nice collection....

Thanks all for your b'day wishes and I hope you are all having as greater holiday as I am!  Lots of sleep ins and just having fun!!  xxx
