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.

Just some thoughts

Well here we are with another term almost behind us. This is actually a good thing. In so many ways I used to dread school holidays. There was always the "what are we doing today" questions. Or the "what do we have to eat?" ones. Well I am actually looking forward to them being home. I hate the rushing about and getting here and there. It is a time to sit back and relax and to just enjoy them. Well I'll try. The boys split the weeks with home and Nanny's and they love it. Thomas still goes to preschool and so each of the boys have one on one time with us. It makes for some relaxing days. We will try to do at least one trip to the bike track and maybe a day out somewhere else. If anyone wants to joins us that will be great.

I really liked this photo of me and the boys. There are so few photos of me that I like and the boys are all smiles and it came out really nice. We took a very long drive down to Wombyan caves last weekend. We have been before and I just don't remember it taking so long. It just seemed to take forever but the boys were really great and except for the rain it had been an excellent day out. It is worth the drive if you have never been. The boys loved learning about the stalagmites and the stalactites. If it ever stops raining maybe we will get them out on there bikes again.

Well I hope everyone is well and looking forward to a little break from the monotony. Hopefully it will stop raining for the holidays.

We had a really nice day yesterday. David and I went to see the movie Angels and Demons in the morning and then we went back to his Parents house for lunh with the whole family. It was a really nice day. The weather was good, the company was ok and the food was good. Hope you all had a really nice weekend too.

Mother's Day

Well I hope everyone had a really great Mother's Day. I did. We slept in until 7 am. Then it became to much for the children and they had to give me the presents they had purchased. I got a lovely and warm pair of slippers that Jess would approve of, a toasted sandwich maker that I put on Lay-by last week and David picked up and of course Twilight on DVD. Thomas wouldn't give me the gift he made for me at preschool because he told me it was for Thomas day not Mother's day. He wanted to celebrate him yesterday. That was fine. I will however need to find the gift he made me and hide it so that I still have it and we can remember Thomas's Day.

I watched Twilight yesterday already but whenever I watch it it makes me want to reread the books. Crazy. Well it was a really nice day. David's Mum and Dad came for breakfast which I cooked. It all worked out really great and the boys were super good for us. I got to lay about and watch movies. I watched my new DVD after they left and then in the later afternoon I watched Notting Hill on Foxtel. I love that movie. Really it has been such a great weekend. Everyone was calm and we had a really nice time. I wanted breakfast so the afternoon was ours. It worked out perfectly. We ordered in because David didn't think we would need to book anywhere but that was fine. I wasn't in the mood to go out.


Well I hope everyone else had a relaxing and great day also.

Love,

Happy Easter

Well I hope everyone had a really nice Easter. We had a lovely day. We were had the family here to celebrate Harrisons birthday and Easter. We sat a ate all day. I did all different kinds of nibbles and at first I thought there wouldn't be enough food but as the 8th course came out I realized there was plenty. We had cold nibble and hot nibbles and finished off with cupcakes. It really was a great day.
I do wonder why people come for a visit if they are only going to sit a mope. It really did bring down the mood. If people don't feel like being chatty and have a good laugh they should just stay home. Really!
Well I hope the Easter bunny was good all around. I got my usual of a large bag of M&M's. Peanut of course. It makes me happy. Now I am trying to hide most of the chocolate so Thomas doesn't eat much more. I was thinking Fondue.
I think that is all for today.
