Busy October

Last month was extremely busy with gym, mountains to climb, and everything else that kirirly and hayley got up to.

We also went to the opening of a new set of swings and park in Pelican Waters. Saturday afternoon after my mountain climb earlier in the morning. 4pm was the official ceremony. Hot 91FM were there plus all the other Henzell's officials. The park was being named in honor of JR Ford hence the name JR Ford Park. There was free sausage sizzles, chips, drinks, frozen sweet ice things and my favourite, the free coffee van lady. mmmm what a delicious cup of coffee it was too. Kirrily had 2 frozen ice things (i think they were called snowy cones) with loads of sweet syrup, a small bag of chips and a popper. What more could a little 3 year old want. There was something else - swings, and loads of new ones.

We spent a few hours there before heading back with a very very tired little girl.

We've also been building a new garden (and drain) across the back fence of the yard. I dug the lillipilli's out, that were here when we bought the house, and it's been left go since then. We've finally started digging it out, building the drain and putting up a barrier to stop the neighbours water pouring into our yard. It's almost complete. We have bought several fruit trees to put in including a mango and nectarine. yum!!!!!! You have got to love living in Qld when you can plant those. Kirrily wasn't going to miss any of the action so got in with the spade to help Pop dig.

And of course, we've been swimming. After a huge flogging at the gym, i'm usually glowing bright red and can't cool down quick enough. What better way than a swim in mum and dad's pool. Kirrily didn't want to go to the gym creche, she just wanted to go swimming and practice what Miss Davina had taught her at swimming lessons. Sure enough the pool did cool me down. It felt freezing as i was sooooooo hot. It was 23 deg but i was just being a woos. What a great way to fix those tired, aching, over used.....(i could go on) muscles.

November isn't going to be any less busy. With loads of birthday's and then not long after that, the preparation for Christmas, it will be New Year before we know it.
