She's almost there!

Yep, the countdown is on. My baby turns 10 tomorrow!

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN !?!?!??!?

And according to Tash "I'm really excited".

Hmmmm, 10 years old - does that mean I can put her to work now! ~L~ Not according to her!

Now all we have to do is survive the party tonight! 14 x 10 year olds singing karaoke. HHHEEELLLLPPPPPP. Lets see if we make it to tomorrow.

WOW

All I can say is I am glad Dishwashers are full of water!

How's that for an opening statement! But very true!

We put the dishwasher on earlier and Tony was commenting on how we need to replace it as it only works on one cycle etc etc. Anyway upon opening it to empty it everything looked fine at first and then Kyle noticed a plate was broken and had scorch marks on it! Upon closer look the plastic container for the cutlery had obviously had a fire under it as there are scorch marks and one corner is melted and some of the cutlery handles melted into it! One corner of the dishwasher also has scorch marks!

Must have been a nice little fire in there! Just glad that there was also lots of water!!!!!

Seems Tony is right - we do need to replace the dishwasher (think that will have to go on the back burner - oh well good thing we have kids! ~L~)

The Weekend

Phew it has been a kind of mad week this week so I was glad for the weekend!

The kids school had a fundraiser photo thing going where for $10 you got to have a sitting and get a free 20 x 30 cm photo and a keyring photo so we went along (after all our last studio family pic doesn't even have Tasha in it *oops*) we got a whole fmaily shot, one of the kdis and one of Tony and I. Just got to wait and see how they turned out now!

Then I went straight from there up to Shellharbour for a card making afternoon at Cass'. It was great fun - the girls there are always heaps of fun to spend time with and very friendly. We made some really cool cards and a little pouch with a chocolate bar in it (What more can a girl ask for - scrapping and chocolate!).

Then I stayed for dinner with the King family - yummy risotto - and then Cass and I sat and did some more stampin/scrapping.

Today is Simone's birthday so:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONE

We will pop down and see her at some stage and then the plan is to get some scrapping done this afternoon.

I got some exciting/sad news today too ........................................ check out the next post for details

Wayne Brady is coming to Australia!

Wow I can't believe it!

Tony and I just adore this guy - he is one the funniest stand up / improv people I have seen in a long time. We tune into Whose Line Is It Anyway to check out what he is coming up with next. Not only is he funny and quickwitted but he has the most amazing voice and his improved songs are amazing. (and the way he can shake his tush would rival Ricky Martin!). If you haven't seen Whose Line you may have seen him on Don't Forget The Lyrics - he was the host.

Anyway seriously amazing guy and we were so excited to hear he was coming to Australia but then we realised 1) we really couldn't afford the tickets and 2) it's on December 20th which means there is no way Tony could get there - the week before Christmas is probably one of their busiest times :( . I am sure we could have got around that somehow just don't know how we would come up with the dollars

If you can get to see him I would thoroughly recommend it - and if you do - think of me when you're there!

Wayne Brady is the funniest improv/stand up guy you will ever see - without a doubt.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ETA: Can you hear me screaming?!? I can't believe it - we are going to the show. tony bought me the tickets for my birthday - so excited.
If you can you need to check out this guy's album - its called "a long time coming" and has some of the most amazing R&B songs on it.
I so can't wait till the 20th of December to see him live. He seriously is one of the best entertainers around. His improv is amazing and his voice. WOW
