Category: the week that was

It was an odd week. Rosie caused me to fall off my bike (by running in front of it). I ended up rather black and blue, but the worst with the rib pain I experienced all week. It meant lots of time spent hanging out on the lounge and a visit to the Chiroprator.

There was also a sick Fudgie (the Budgie)…

who had to go visit the vets. There was then twice daily oral medication to be given. He’s doing much better which is good.

There were guina pigs being cute.

There were new cameras – a photo and video camera in preparation for our Alaska trip (in two months!!!)

There were cupcakes with chocolate frosting…

There were picnics with friends on the side of the road…

There was Rosie being cute…

and Bailey waiting in his normal spot at the top of the stairs (whenever I’m upstairs)…

And there was my new scarf rails installed by Kevin….

And there was  a fun day for the kids at Jamberoo..

This week started out VERY wet and resulted in a very muddy pool.

There was so much rain and lots of flooding in the area.

There were vegan vanilla cookies….

and a new pasta dish…

There was new linen for Christy’s bed.

Before…

after…

And a new lounge and Scottish Highland Dance shoes were purchased.

The week ended with a wonderful 3 day weekend away for Kevin and I in Sydney …. and more rain.

It was a rather odd week which lots of plans up in the air. The Iditarod finished and I was finally able to get the house (relatively) back in order. I’ve been having  a LOT of trouble with the girls being unoragnised, not tidying up after themselves and being mean to each other. They have been banned from having friends over and threatened (and I mean it) with cancelling our holiday in a few weeks but nothing seems to motivate them. Any ideas???

Other than that it’s been a pretty uneventful week. On Monday Christy had a Futsal gala day. Her team (the under 10 girls won and will now be playing at State. There were only 2 teams so the odds were good :-).

There was crazy hair day at school.

There were dogs walks

and very dirty dogs, that I took straight to the dog wash.

There were tulips…

There was a basketball game – which we sadly lost by ONE point 🙁

There was rather a lot of baking – banana muffins, chocolate cornflake slice, choc chip slice, vanilla cookies and this yummy fruit bread. Hmm…this could explain why I’m NOT losing any weight…

There was lots of rain over the weekend… which luckily stopped when we had finished our Thai dinner and had to walk to the basketball

It did, however, result in jammie day on Sunday, instead of our planned trip to the zoo.

Lots and lots and lots of Iditrod watching and reading.

Lance Mackey sets off….

Webcam at remote Alaskan locations….

At one time I had 12 windows open to various Iditarod websites!! 

There were walks with dogs (now that my heel spur is a lot better).

And sunrises enjoyed…

Just loving the evening light at the moment…so are the budgies…

There was a very busy roller skating lesson…

Dinner at Ghedia’s indian..

And a basketball game. Hawks won their second game of the weekend.

And, as always, there were sleeping puppies…

There was also a new fridge delivered and a family day out to Jamberoo Action Park.
