The school holidays officially finish tonight :-( I love the change of routine the holidays bring. I know its a busier type day with the kids all at home, but i love having the around and it is changing as they are getting older - you get to do different kinds of things.
On friday it was my aunty's birthday ... in the holidays i like to take the girls up to visit my grandmother who now lives here (so nice to see her more often) so on friday we saw her and also celebrated with Maryanne for her birthday. It was so nice to have a day off ... just get out of the house and not do any jobs. I feel like i've been going a hundred miles an hour for so long ... to leave it all was such a relief!
After our yummy lunch, the girls were giving their "famous" massages ... so cute! Gi is famous for her chops! ha!
We were lucky enough to spend the weekend up at Caloundra ... the weather was stunning, i love getting a good dose of sunshine -esp in winter. I am not a fan
of winter (unless i am going down a snow mountian on my snowboard!) so it makes me feel alive getting the warmth of the sun!

We did LOTS of walking ... it was great, although Gi's little legs often tired and i ended up piggy backing her.
Close by they hire out bikes of all shapes and sizes, and the girls had been busting to hire one all weekend. When we finally got there yesterday the guy had packed up ... (you can imagine the disappointment ... soon to be over-shadowed by going out for dinner tho ... amazing how quickly things can turn around! lol!) so that led to us finding this great little restaurant right on the beach called Salt Water ... i loved the styling and the food was superb. I think its our new favourite plac
e up the coast - so good.

e up the coast - so good. Today we did get on the 4 person bike ... the girls all crammed in the back and Gary and I were on the front ... it was alot harder than it looked. And considering i had already run 10kms in the morning ... my legs were burning up! Seriously we were the talking point .. it was hilarious! so now ... i am absolutely shattered, and really need to go to sleep! (i am mad i didn't get a photo of us all on the bike ... )
I have some cool new jewellery to share too ...
blogger is REALLY slow uploading photos .. so will have to share more tomorrow ... sleeping really is the priority right now! :-)
