FIVE things

1. The pool is moving along well. Retaining wall is up after 5 days of hard INTENSE labour by the wonderful Graeme and his off sider Darren. Here is a photo of the balancing act.

2. I had a fantastic time doing Kim Archer's class last weekend!!! I really enjoyed doing lots of sanding - rather than my usual inking. I love it - thanks Kim !!!!

3. Max is becoming a confident walker. On Saturday we had a very busy day with all the electrical being done on the pool. So Max pottered around and found the hose!!! It is his new obsession. he played for 2 hours just moving from water bowl to water bowl! (for the clean freaks like me!! I did CLEAN the water bowls first). nad yes he is in his PJs. He started at 8am and was dragged away kicking and screaming at 10am. I dont think they will EVER be this colour again - been soaking for 2 days and I still can't get the clay stain OUT!!!!!!! 4. Congrats to Hayley, Stephen and Zac on the birth of Tyler. Karen and i went to visit and I sadly forgot my camera. HE is sooo tiny and cute !!! Tyler bought his big brother a Steve Irwin doll. THIS doll is sooooo COOL. KAren and I played with it for a good 30 minutes! The vocie is real and he says 8 phrases and isn't she gorgeous is my favourite.

5. A fortnight ago i had a mums group get-together at my place. It was great to see all the bubs back together. 7 babies and 7 mums!!! So much chatter toooo cute!!!!

I am hoping this week someone finds the formula for adding another 4 hours to the average day !!!!! Time is flying by and I am SAD that I haven't even called my great friend Elleni - I am thinking of you - as slack as I may seem I am WORKING my butt off at school (wont go into the ups and downs of teaching!!!). miss ya and I will call !!!!!!
