Movember...

Movember is back again.Gary and a few of his friends from work are in a team and growning moustaches for charity.. Movember is held in the month of November each year and guys can grow moustaches for charity and raise money for prostate cancer which affects a lot of men.

I'm happy that he is doing it for charity but i will be glad when he does shave it off at the end off the month..

Back in 2003 Gary's grade 6 class wanted to raise some money for the homeless in the Launceston area, so Gary gave them a challenge and told them if they raised $1000 he would shave his hair off.. Next thing you know we are sitting in the school assembly and Gary's up the front on the stage, standing next to him was a parent who was a hairdresser... Off with the hair and so he handed the cheque to the City Misson.. Even the TV crew were there. (must have been a slow news day!)

so here are photo of the progress and bring on the end of the month..

P.S please DO NOT TELL HIM THAT HE LOOKS GOOD!!!!! cause he will keep it......

Do as I'm doing!

As most children do, they must do or try to copy us in every thing we do. Eden loves to copy us all the time. So the other day, i forgot to put the camera back in a high spot so Eden saw the chance to take it without me knowning and took some photo's...

So i guess this is Eden's blog..

So here is a picture of my nose and the kitchen..

Here's my finger and the kitchen....

And i think this is my thumb... and the floor....

And in case no-one has seen our kitchen here it is again........

With the sun finally out the school oval finally dry Phebe and Eliza's school athletics carnival was held over 2 days. Phebe's house is BARNES and their colour is yellow. Here she is with Allissa the house captain for Barnes..
Eliza is in Thompson.Thompson was winning at the end of day one, so Eliza was very happy.When I went to say hi to Eliza i found her and her friends having a nice time and keeping themselves warm for the next race.
Eliza, Lauren,Jessica,Kaylee and Chloe waiting for there turn in the 200m..
Ribbons for Day one. Heaps of running on Day 1, they both competed in the 800m, 400m,200m, but they also had some fun events like tunnel ball relay, tug-a-war and the beanbag drop relay..

Day two started off with the 100m and then 1500m. Phebe did a great job finishing 4th in Div 1 in the 100m. Both girls said they weren't going to do the 1500m after day 1 ,but they changed their minds.. With Phebe still got the Long jump and House relay to go I think they ware both going to glad it's all over at 3 o'clock
Both girls done a great job and heaps of fun hanging out with their friends outside.. But who will win ??? Barnes.. Thompson... or will it be Mr Woodward's house Freeland.... I will have to wait until the girls come home..

long weekend!

The long weekend in November is here and what to do.. Sun is shinning so off to the pool the girls go with their friend Lizzie. they must have enjoyed themselves, they were there for 5 hours...Phebe went to Bridport with the Wheeler's on Sunday, so it was just the 4 of us.. We headed of to City Park to check out what the monkeys had been up to..

Eden really liked the monkeys. You could sit there for hours and watch them for hours. We decided to go and see the ducks. The ducks weren't in a good mood.To lazy do get up and say hello.
Then off to the train. Eliza picked the back of course and off they went on the train ride. when the train ride had finished Eliza and I walked off because Eden was crying cause she wanted to go on it again.. We were saying "Who is that child....She is very noisy!!!"
