Slow Down 2013

I can't believe it is Christmas in 19 days, where has the year gone.

I for one wish 2013 never came.

We have had good times and very sad times.

If 2013 never came my mama would still be with us.

So as the end of the year approaches its time to wind

down the school year.

this week the twosome have had

high school orientation

Next week is the end of year presentations for the girls

each year group has around 4 prizes to hand out,

and school notifies the parents whose children are receiving

awards.

Last year Sophie received the Citizenship award for her year

this year, ALL 3 of my girls are receiving awards.

I cannot wait to find out what they have been awarded.

Today Sophie is receiving some library awards!

1 for the most words read this year, well over 3000000

yes, 3 million + words my girl has read.

She is also receiving a year 6 champion something award

so dh and I are off the assembly at noon.

Chookyblues SSCS sleigh has landed

I have opened my ornament

with a gorgeous embroidered angel mouse on the back

and you can just see my christmas day present

peeking out from under the tree 

A HUGE thank you to 

Tonje in Norway and to Chooky and Googy Girl

Yesterday dh and I spent the day Christmas shopping

we are nearly done, just a couple of little things left to 

collect 

Our son (24) is joining us this year, if there was one good thing

to come out of losing my mama is my boy now knows how important

family is.

This year for christmas I wanted to get an iPhone 5 on a contract

I mentioned it to dh who said NO WAY, I didn't need 1

ha guess who got a new pink phone yesterday and it was

in fact his idea, to go into Telstra and look.......

Bless him he really needs to learn to say NO and mean it

So if you had my mobile number you will have to email me to 

get my new number!
