WTBD 2010

Easter Wednesday 2010...I arrived home VERY LATE from an intense UYC carnival dance to find some mystery guests...
Yep....the BASHFORDS!!!

This is an exact replica of the picture taken just before they abandoned us way back in 2008
...Anyho...back to that late night...I also arrived home to this...



A COMPLETELY glad wrapped house!!
It's taken me SO long to post about this because I ONLY just finished unwrapping...they wrapped EVERYTHING!...I took photos of the growing glad wrap pile as I gradually unwrapped stuff I needed to use...Observe...


































...and finally...





So, not one to be wasteful, I decided to make use of my new glad wrap ball...




Here are some ideas...
A handy foot stool...





A lighting feature...







Your regular cushion...






A bean bag for teddy...


The BIGGEST stable table in the world...




A pillow...





My new friend the Glad Wrap ball (or Gladdy as it's affectionately known) is still residing on my kitchen bench...until I find a NEW and exciting use for it...
Any suggestions?

P.S Everything in my pantry and Drawers is STILL wrapped...So Gladdy can continue to grow into a mega gladwrap ball!!

Can I get some C...Y....U?

rrrrrr ....REWIND!!
So I can finally post about this stuff cause it's not a secret anymore...infact it's all over:(....The last few months have been FULL on UYC....flat out...here is our tower... Lots of eating take-away....

Painting...

Eating AND painting....



Creating White Stone Bracelets...





















Spending HEAPS of time with the YSA...we got pretty tight, it's almost weird not spending 24/7 with them...but space is always good:)
The youth were amazing... i'll nick some pics of facebook and fill you in on my side of the story when I get a chance....especially for those of you that are missing all the action on FB atm!

Eating Spot...

Naw even though it was WAY full on I miss my little buddy Jonty!... I don't have a high chair so for our first dinner we sat on the floor together....then Every Meal time after that i'd say, "you ready for some food Jonsta?" and he'd go plonk himself in the 'eating spot' on the floor...SO CUTE....he didn't run off or play games or anything, just sat their feeding his face! What an angel!

Had to get a picture of our 'eating spot':)

Easter Bunny Arrives



Look what the Easter bunny bought JONTY!!....Don't worry he didn't make it through the WHOLE thing:)
(And Yes Simone he got chocolate ALL over his churchies....whoops!)

Camping with Triffitts

Camping time! 7am...Good Friday morning...after three days of school camp I was PUMPED! 5hour road trip to....Southport!...hmm What to do?....
Hallie= Climb Trees...
Behold the tree...

Could you see her? here she is....

Yep she's WAY high up!



...the concerned mother...



Jonty LOVED camping...playing in tents...







Running around outside....




Giving his Favouritist Aunty strange looks...








That's better...






Hanging out in cool camp chairs....








it was EXTREMELY cold...WHY would you go to southport?!!


Oliver: "Hmm I love my fizz!!"



Singing for their supper...




At southport beach...

What bogans!


On the way back to camp we saw an interesting Street sign... I wonder if Simone will be brave enough to blog about it!!
It was pretty much FREEZING the whole time...so I was REALLY looking forward to our 'hot springs' experience at hastings...I had been before...and liked it...but this time it was BARELY luke warm....and we spent longer under the hot shower trying to warm back up then in the 'hot spring'...wouldn't recommend it that's for sure!
Saturday arvo I bought Jonty back with me for a weekend of baby sitting...
He is currently sleeping:) We've had HEAPS of fun!!
