Some More Random Thoughts

The school holidays are almost over and I think for the first time I may be a little bit sad. We have not done a whole lot during the vacation but we have still had a pretty good time. The boys have enjoyed being home and having there separate times with Nanny and Poppy. Yesterday we spent a very long but very good day at the bike track. The weather has been absolutely perfect for lots of outdoor play.

I have been watching True Blood on my computer at night and I have to say it is one of the strangest shows I have ever seen. I am three episodes into season 2 and I have to say that it really freaked me out and I had such trouble sleeping last night. It is my drug right now I want to watch but I know that it is bad for me. What will I do. I need a fix bad. It is pathetic.

Target toy sale tomorrow and there about a half a dozen things that I would really like to get but I just don't want to go and stand on the lay-by line. I just don't know what to do. Well that is all for now. I hope everyone else is having a great time, too.

Love,
Helene

Wonderful News

Film producers aren't wasting any time rushing the third Twilight movie into cinemas.

Production Weekly reveals that Summit Entertainment will shoot Eclipse from August 17 to October 31, 2009 — meaning it will wrap before New Moon, the second part in the series, is even released.

Eclipse, due to open in theatres on June 30, 2010, continues the epic love triangle between unassuming teen Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), decades-old vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and spunky werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). As Bella's high-school graduation approaches, she must decide which of the boys is her one true love.

New Moon is slated for release in November.

A Nice Weekend





Only one week left until the school holidays and that thing. This has been a really long term and I am very ready for it to finish. I do have to say that it was better than last term so that was a good thing.

My children and husband have spent the last week home with varying sicknesses. I was also sick and that was no good. So we spent the week resting and driving each other crazy.

On Saturday I thought I would rid the house of germs and do a massive clean. The house smelled fresh and it made me feel better to have it clean. That was a very productive day.

After I finished I was able to sit down and enjoy a new book that I had bought on Friday. It was called Lovely Bones. It was a story from a dead girls point of view as she watches her family grieve and try to move on from her death. It was a great read. Now Narelle can finish the forth book in the Twilight series so she can read it too.

On Sunday the weather was so nice we thought we would do something outside. We drove down to the Southern Highlands towards Bowral with the idea of going to Fitzroy Falls. We had been there before and it is such a beautiful spot to see. I love that area. The properties are so beautiful. It was very cold but we hiked the trail for a while and took some nice photos. If ever we had the money it is somewhere I would love to live. The trees change colors and it seems so peaceful. The boys were great and it was really a great day out.

It is Monday now and I don't have as much cleaning to do because I did so much on Saturday so I thought I would bake some nice banana bread and relax.

I hope everyone had a really nice weekend and am looking forward to catching up over the school holidays.

Love,
Helene
