8 days smoke free

Hi there,

Well Chris is now on his 8th day of being smoke free.
He is using the patches and they seem to be helping. All tohugh, it doesnt help when your dropped off home with a guy puffing away on a cigarette.. doesnt help.

But I am proud that he is doing well, we usually are fighting by now and we havent even had a little scrap. which is great.

Will keep you all up to date.

Im off to do a cypercrop tonight with the girls from Scrapbook Outlet. Looking froward to it.
Hopefully I can create something amazing.

have a great weekend everyone.

Abi was taken from our section!!!

Just what you never want to happen to you....

Well the story goes...

We have an elderly lady a few houses up who is sweet as anything but very forgetful.

Well today she was hanging around next door as she does sometimes as she steals their flowers.
But today Alex and Abi were outside playing around the trailer where i could hear them etc.
But with in about 30 seconds Abi had climbed up a little on our gate and this old lady had lifted her over the gate and was heading up the road with her.
Alex went nuts, he was yelling at her to leave his sister alone (this I didnt hear as I was distracted for some reason).

Luckily my neighbour was home and he stopped her taking Abi away.
Abi is too young to understand stranger danger.
I know this lady wont harm her, she is sweet but she also wont remember to bring her home.
But I contacted the rest home where she goes for day care 4 days a week, they rang her daughter who then came and found her mother who loves to walk all over the place mainly taking flowers.
She came to apologise to us. But its not her fault, we actually dont blame the old lady. But its is VERY scary.. What if my neighbour wasnt home??

Now im off to have one stiff drink!

Our house is giving up

Hi all,

No not as bad as it sounds.

First off Abi has completely given up on the dummy. She hasnt had one since my last post on it, but she has now stopped asking for it too. Im still so very proud of her.

NOW....

Chris has decided to quit smoking.
It has been a battle in this house for many years to get him to quit.

He promised to quit once the kids were born but he just never got around to it.

He did quit for a littlew while around 3-4 months but then lost his job in terrible circumstances and so he took it up again.
But his work is helping him and others to quit using patches and gum.
He says the gum is pretty foul but the patches seem to be working so far, well its only been 1 day-lol.

I will keep you updated on how he is going.
Its going to be hard struggle for us all as he gets pretty grumpy....

Just another typical day in our household

Hi all,

Well its just another boring day here in our place.

Before I dropped Alex off at kindy I took some photos of the kids.
Alex refused to look at the camera and when he did, he was not smiling very nicely.

But I thought I would capture Abi actually looking like a girl for once, well maybe twice....

The kids were meant to have their kindy photos taken yesterday but the photgrapher was sick so Abi was dressed nicely yesterday, I should have taken a pic then as Alex was dressed up also.

But once i get a nice pic of him i will post here.

DISCO FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,

Well Alex's kindy had a disco on Tuesday night.

Silly muggins me decided I would be a helper, but little did I know that role meant do most of it!

It was such a great success, the kids had an absolute blast.

One of the kids grand parent is a DJ, so we had great music,lollies, decorations,food etc...

All the kids wanted the next day was another disco.
Once i get the photos developed I will post them for you..yes mainly you Steph-lol.

Abi's kindy is having a disco on the 23rd, but you have to pay for that one, we may go.... the kids will love it.


Yes my life is so exciting but my recipe journal is coming along ok. It ripped today so im not a happy chappy.
I may have to do my cover from scratch.
But my sign in page is done, so all I have to complete is my own sign in page.

Will take some photos of when its completed.

Kindy photos are next week so we cant wait for that.


Take care all, will catch up real soon, ok Steph :-)

Abi finally did it!

Abi has finally gotten rid of the dreaded dummy!

We gave her a teddy bear called Moochy.
He needed hugs and cuddles and Abi was the best person to give it to him.
So they now "sleep" together.

Abi still asks for the dummy and I cant keep telling her to wait till payday. Not that she knows what payday is.

When she is alseep tomorrow afternoon I am going to dig out all of her dummies and take a photo so i scrap it.

Cant be easy for a small kid to give up on something they have had for over 2 years.

Im so proud of my baby girl...

my circle journal cover

Hi all,
ok, I decided to share my circle journal cover with you all.
Just dont copy it-LOL.
I am changing the inside so I wont share that with you just yet.

What a miserable day to be inside

Hi all,

Wow not much is happening in the Allan household today.
Its raining outside so the kids cant play outside.
But they did decide to do some drawing this morning, so when i went to look at it, I saw that it was on their faces. I did have to add some freckles, they looked so cute.
But after i had done a major clean out of the bathroom cabinets and al of the kids old felt tips and crayons. I treated them to some new felts.
Once we got home all they wanted to do was play outside in the muddy puddles so off they went.
10 minutes later, they come in,wet and cold.But they had a blast. I also got some more card for my recipe circle journal. I have completed the front pages but wont show it on here until it has started. Well you might laugh at it....
Well have a good holiday tomorrow people. Will get back and update as much as possible.

Take care
