174 +70 Weeks

This week we had Halloween.  Because we bought candy from the supermarket earlier,  Carmie thought we were having a Halloween party, and she told everyone at school that we were.  And so we did.  It was just a small family party, but she thought it was great, and had lots of fun dressing up as a fairy.  Arley was too grumpy to dress up as anything at all, and just wore his nappy.  Uncle Sting made a seriously scary lady, Aunty Georgia a tennis player, and Jeffrey a Rastafarian.  We didn't get many trick-or-treaters, as Halloween is kind of lame here, but it was still a fun evening.

We have had a busy week, with packing for our move when ever we could, and a trip to the duck park as well as the beach park, and also to the pirate ship park , with a walk across the harbour for chips and milkshakes.  Arley is proving to be a such a boy.  He likes to play with cars, he is always a mess, he is loud and loveable.  He learned to say "snack" this week, and can now point to his nose. Carmie loves to sit and 'work' - she sits at the old red desk that used to be mine, and does intricate scribbles.  That is, until Arley comes along and grabs the container full of markers, to scatter them far and wide. In our new house, the kids have a large playroom, with a sunroom off to one side, and we are very excited to make this their 'art studio'.  Hopefully this will contain the mess a little.

We move house in 8 days, so things are a little stressful.  But it is all for good.  And today was Jeff's and my 6th anniversary (which we celebrated with a 5pm dinner of leftovers with the kids - very romantic).  Our Temple & Webster sale for Canvas River has begun too.  There is a lot on my plate at the moment!
