Random photos from the week

The week began trying to get some cute footage of the dogs for my new vlogmas intro on YouTube.

How cute do the pups looks as reindeers?

Not sure how this happened but they lined up for a drink of water.

This week I took Amy to the hairdressers…

and Christy back to the doctors… poor thing has been sick (& off school) again…

Love our doctors door.

There were (almost) daily walks with the pups. As you’ve already seen we got to enjoy quite the variety of skies and weather.

Love sitting in my spot each morning with the Christmas lights twinkling, watching the day get lighter.

Christy and I finally got around to putting up the second tree in the family room.

Poor Bailey barely managed to fit his bum on the lounge.

So he moved to make sure he wasn’t going to fall off (it’s happened before).

I tried my first peppermint (sugar free) hot chocolate at home. Delicious.

Start of the Summer & the advent calender

The 1st December started with a lovely walk to the lake, where I saw this fella.

Christy made breakfast in bed for Kevin.

Later on I made pikelets for morning tea….

as Leanne & Alyssa were coming over in between Alyssa’s dance rehearsal & concert (which was being held 50mins from where they live).

Here she is all dressed up and ready to dance.

The rest of the day (in fact the whole day) was pretty relaxed.

I enjoyed some Summer fruit.

and the girls & Kevin enjoyed some chocolate from the advent calender. So sad they have outgrown the activity side of it :-(.

School Fun Day

Posted on November 30, 2013October 12, 2026 by Libby Withnall

On Wednesday Christy’s school had it’s school fun day (which is held every other year). I had uniform shop and kindy fittings till 11am, but was able to hang out with Christy for a bit afterwards.

Because this is a fundraiser for year 6, they help out at the various stands/games/rides. Here is Christy manning the lolly stand.

As you can see, after it being cancelled last week due to bad weather, they had the perfect day this time around.

There are a lot of rides and Christy & Hana had fun racing each other on this one.

In the evening we headed to the Montessori school for an information session on the high school and IB program…..

and amazingly enough we were the first to arrive – something that is a very rare occurrence indeed :-).

Last day of craziness….hopefully…

Thursday was hopefully the last day that would crazy busy for some time. The last few weeks have been far too hectic for me and I’ve missed being at home, and hanging out with my pups.

As most days, it began with a morning walk.

I then went to the chiropractor as I’ve had a sore back for some time now (mainly first thing in the morning but it’s been getting worse). I then had to get my groceries and attend to various other jobs. Later I had to pick up Amy from her drama rehearsal, then take Christy to swimming, then take Amy back into Wollongong for her drama performance. I was in & out the house for hours!!! Being that it had been such a busy and crazy day we decided to have a quick dinner out before the show (Amy had to be there an hour early). We opted for yummy Mexican and I had a lovely quesadilla..

On the back of the theatre there is a lot of street art so we took so we took some time to admire it. Hopefully in the school holidays we’ll get to go and see the rest that has been put up as part of the Wollongong Wonderwalls Festival.

Then it was time to sit and relax and enjoy Amy’s drama performance.

Though I didn’t understand much of what was going on, it was great seeing all the kids up on stage. And, of course, we thought Amy did an amazing job.
