Well have found out that we are definitely going to my girlfriends 40th birthday the last weekend of February.

We will be flying to Newcastle and getting a hire car from there. Can't wait. will be soo much fun. just to catch up with her and the family.

So if there is anyone in those two areas who would be interested in catching up over a coffee, I would love to meet some Mintiers!! Let me know.

On a sad note, I realised this morning that I only have 5 days of holidays left. 2 days if I don't count the weekend and public holiday next week! Then I have to go back to work. Boo hoo.

Cheers for now.

Had a fantastic day today. took Connor to the Bear Makers at Lutwyche. It was so cool tho not as interactive as I thought it might be.

First you pick out what sort of bear you like. They have all the skins made up.

You get to choose whether you put in a voice box and record a message on it. (He didn't).

Then you stuff it with the big machine, to the softness you want it.

Then you have to brush out the fur and make sure that it is nice and fluffy.

You have a choice of clothing it. (Again he didn't)

Then the kids do up the birth certificate.

So for $32 Connor made "Wolfgang, Duke of Kedron...Wolfie for short)...

Took Connor and Dave down to the skate park this morning. Connor had a friend stay over last night so he came too. They had lots of fun, then we came home as it was way tooooo hot to be outside in the middle of the day. Picked dave's girl up and she is busily cleaning his room, while he sets up the queen size bed base that he has, in the hopes that he will get a queen sized mattress to go on it.

Will have to work on that one.

Well, I can say that I officially start my holidays in the morning, when my husband has to get up and go to work and I can stay in bed. I have 2 weeks off work, to spend time with the kids on school holidays. We have a few things planned, like trips to the library, going to the skate park, going to a water slide park. Connor also wants to go to the Teddy Bear making shop, so that he can make a bear for himself. I have to say that I see absolutely no problem with this as I have been wanting to go as well and needed the excuse to go and see what it is all about.

Apart from that, not much else is on the agenda. Just rest and relaxation.

Have a great week one and all.
