Every year this man says 'we're not putting lights up this year'....every year we have sparkly twinkly's heh,heh...he just can't help himself!

The advent fun continues....on the 8th day of Christmas.....we had a snowball fight!! ahem, Kiwi style with scrunched up balls of newspaper...huge amounts of shrieking and laughing and barking..yes even the dogs joined in and it filled in a dull rainy morning just nicely! On the 9th it was still raining! stink!! So we took the boys shopping and they each chose a little something to give to their brothers.
Today the 10th...we held a Family Awards night... I can thoroughly recommend doing this with your kids...so funny....I printed some mini certificates off the internet and then we each wrote every member of the family a certificate for something we like about them or for something they do....after tea I announced we all had to go and 'get ready' for the award evening and everybody raced off and came back attired in all manner of strange things which included quite alot of underwear being worn on heads and over clothes etc....thats the Toomey coming out in everybody rofl!! and sorry was laughing too much to get a pic of the outfits!Then we presented our awards...check out Josephs award to Patrick for being the 'best bother' lol! The ceremony ended with a rousing chorus of we are the champions! Nothing like a bit of loving yourselves to bouy everybody up!
Only a week until Uncle Celia and Aunty Matt get here...heh, heh kids aye...tend to get their aunties and uncles round the wrong way....waving you guys....not long now and you'll be stretched out , feet up, drink on hand winging your way to the soggy north lol!! don't worry I'm sure it will have all blown over by the time you guys get here...she says hopefully!!

Ok i'm off to work on my next project in waiting....my Care2crop album...

Ming, we don't have email adresses or Cellphone numbers for you...darge@acrix????? - Can you send us an email with the details (we do have your postal address though)

Anyway, just put the boys Chrissy pressies on the courier - excuse the dodgy wrapping, Cole help me cut the paper and had to stick every piece of cellotape (took nearly an hour to wrap 3 presents)

Late for work now Hugs Merrie
