Still here...

Hi all,
I'm still here, still scrapping my Project 365 and still loving the school holidays. Brad, Georgie and the boys are still here too so we've being doing lots of things together!
Last time I posted, we were about to go out to brunch. We did and it was wonderful! We went to 'The Merchant' - the food was scrummo yummo delicious!!! We had a wonderful time, eating, chatting, laughing, reminiscing, drinking coffee- it was great. We went with Aunty Lorraine, Vikki & Gavin (Lorraine's daughter & SIL) and Lynn (Lorraine's other daughter). Aunty Lorraine's family are up here to help her out as she required another operation last Tuesday. I won't go into details here however we have everything crossed that it is all good news)
So...brunch was my Project 365 topic for day 11.


Brad & Georgie and my two nephews, Matt & Jack, arrived in the afternoon.
Monday morning started off shocking. Adam got a phone call about 7:30 to say his office has been broken into. Adam is still on holidays however because we half own the business he had to go in to deal with the police, insurance etc. Rotten thieves stole about $13000 worth of mobile phones and equipment and caused a heap of damage- grr. It is all insured however a right pain in the butt. Sadly for the thief, Adam has gone through, worked out all the phones that were taken and blocked them so they can never be used in Australia (legally anyway).
Also on Monday morning Brad had an appointment at a specialist so Georgie and I took all the kids by train to The Art Gallery In Perth. There was a Lego construction zone with HUGE amounts of white Lego- all there for the kids to play and build with! I took heaps of photos- pity the Lego was white and the walls were white- no contrast!Anyway- day 12...


Sunday and Monday, Sarah had been complaining of a sore tooth so Monday afternoon I managed to get her a dentist appointment. The dentist said that she had a small crack in a back baby molar and that had caused a filling to slip. He took the filling out and replaced it, so I thought the problem had been fixed. Oh no.....
this is how my baby girl woke up on Tuesday morning- a swollen cheek and very sore!!!




Back to the dentist in the afternoon and the tooth nerve had begun to die so Sarah was put straight on strong antibiotics and the offending tooth will be pulled on Monday!
Taa daa- day 12's page.

On Wednesday I decided to take Sarah, Emma and Matt to the movies (Jack didn't come- he can't sit thorough a whole movie!). We saw The Tale of Despereaux. It was another great movie. I forgot to take my camera to the movies - shock, horror so took a photo of Sarah when we got home with the mouse toy that came with our drink/popcorn combo!

That brings us to yesterday. It was forecast to be HOT, HOT, HOT and it was! We decided to go out for breakfast. I wanted to go to The Merchant again but it was full. We went to another cafe and had a lovely breakfast before taking the kids to the park for a play. Eventually the park got too hot so we came home and Adam blew up our pool for the kids
.
Check out this photo- Adam took this one- cool huh!!!

About 5:30/6 ish we decided to all go to the beach for a swim. In about 10 seconds flat we collected up kids, towels, drinks etc and headed off to the beach. I'm so pleased we did, the beach was beautiful. All of us, except Georgie swam out to the pontoon, in the water. I had my camera on the beach, so Georgie pulled it out and took some photos-

This is us on the pontoon, waving to Georgie!

I've zoomed and cropped so you can see us! L-R. Adam, Sarah (sitting), Brad, Emma, me, Matt & Jack.
We played around out there for a while, jumping off over and over again- it was a blast!

All holding hands and jumping off (except for Matt- he would be in it!)

Emma jumping off the top of the ladder- it looks as if Adam has thrown her- he didn't, he was just holding her so she didn't slip before she jumped.

And if Emma can do it...so can I!!!! Please excuse my blowing out shirt. I wore my bikinis to the beach but in our hurry left my rashie on the kitchen bench. Not wanting to blind anyone with my lillywhite skin- I wore my shirt in the water!

It was such a great time. When we did finally come home we were all much cooler and had yet another BBQ for tea. Now I have a delima- we took SO many photos yesterday, I can't decide which ones to use for my day 15 page. Hmm the decisions- LOL!!!

Today Adam and Brad have gone on a fishing charter. It was meant to be yesterday but the charter man changed it to today. Georgie has gone out to do a few things and I'm at home keeping cool with the four kids. We haven't decided what to do today. It is forecast to get to 40 so we may head off to the lovely air conditioned movies!!

Anyway, enough for today. I hope everything is wonderful where you are. Stay safe. And to my gorgeous friend (you know who you are)- I have everything crossed for you that today turns out as best it can- thinking of you.

Love Janine xxx
