Cassie's Cuddles

Not only have I been away, living it up in the city, but my blog went off line. Disaster!! Well I actually didn’t realise because I was away, but I didn’t get emails either, and that can make you feel so unloved. On monday we went off to the Victoria Hotel to stay for four nights. Jared has a big job at the Assembly (where all the Presbyterian Ministers meet for a week, to discuss all the important stuff, and deal with any issues that have arisen). Jared is very good at his job, he is gifted, and he doesn’t get a big head about it either. Jared never boasts, that has got to make a man even more appealing don’t you think? A man who boasts about him self is…well, not so appealing.

 We actually found a place in the city that sells yummy fresh rolls for $3.50. This is what Lachlan ate all week for lunch, and us mostly (better than Mackers).The best thing about staying in the motel is having the beds made, and fresh towels etc, bliss. I DO believe in fairies….Someone suggest I bring one home, but it is slightly illegal to do so :D. One morning I eagerly hung up my little sign on the door, only to find that  I had put the wrong sign up (do not disturb!), what an idiot I am, a very disappointed one..The room was not tidy, it was like being at home :C.

At night, I made some yoyos to make into hair clips.

Poor Lachlan still had to go to school. We had to cut the posh breakfast short so that I could take him to the tram stop at 7:40. He had a weird chap on one tram, that yelled at him “If your parents don’t treat you as equals, get a new gang”, ok!!We went out with my mum and Nicky, for mum’s birthday. Now, if my family complains about this photo, I’ll enlarge it, haha!!We hung out at the Exhibition Gardens, the museum (pathetic), no history there, just stuffed animals..This photo is here, just because I like it. This is called “Get their energy used up, so they will go to sleep early”, it works every time 😀 You know what I’m talking about.

Thursday we went to a missionary meeting, it started at 10 and ended around 4. Was I wicked wishing that it would finish by one so that I could go to the craft fair?  well, I missed it for another year, ho hum, I guess it stops me from buying more stuff eh?

Friday we headed home, then went to sport in the afternoon. While Camden and  Alycia did badmington, Steph and Cassandra did folk dancing. As you can see, Cassandra is miffed because I was no longer her partner…naughty tantrum..

Sat. was Lachlan’s school “Family Day” This is the pot that he made, not bad eh? He promised it to me for my birthday in April, then to Jared for his birthday in June. He finds it hilarious that Jared and I are now claiming it. AS for the rest of the day…it was really advertising all of the auxillaries. As for lunch, a sausage in bread cost $3! now just times that by…well, you get the idea. That’s how the rich get richer. Lachlan also ran a race, enough said..I did find these for my dad though, the second hand book/magazine stand (the best part of the day), I also got these for Cassandra.

The junk piles are happening again…Steph saw this rabbit hutch and got so excited, so I got her to knock on the person’s door to ask for it (so we wouldn’t be “stealing” it according to the council). It just needs a good clean. Today, we went to Church, and then after tea, we went and played cricket, it was fun.Even Cassandra got a little go.

What a beautiful spring day it was today, the sun was shining, everyone was home, and some things got done. Jared did some gardening with the children (it made such a lovely differance), I did some cooking, and then went shopping for clothes with Jared’s credit card, yay! It will be nice to look half decent 😀

The children went into the pool, it was freezing, their lips turned blue.Later in the afternoon we went to Olinda to have a bit of a look around. I saw some lovely shops.

Look at this cute apron, ok, so it’s cute until you see the price tag, $30. I said to Steph, “why does it look so much cuter than the ones that I make?” and she said, “it’s only because you didn’t make it, that you like it.”I really liked this heart, it holds a little candle, that was $18.And for anyone who goes to Olinda, you have to have your photo taken in this 😀We all had a nice day.

Now remember folks, for those who live in Victoria, move your clocks forward one hour, or else you wil be late for church (there is always someone who forgets).

What has my life come to? I am having trouble breathing due to a freaky weird pimple in my nose (too much information?) How am I suppose to deal with that? There is no cream for this!! Is this what happens when you grow older, your body turns inside out, and your pimples do too?Now picture this, but up my nose. Now, happy dreams 😀

Ah, it’s good to do what I like best, cook up  a storm. Today I cooked some Piklets, rocky road for a young man, a casserole, a berry tart, and did lots of dishes. Hmm, that doesn’t seem that much does it? Oh, and sausage rolls for a fellowship lunch on Sunday. Look what I made (quite by accident might I add)It’s Elmo!! Am I the only one who sees this??

The last couple of days we have had an extra little friend with us, and considering that my children have done nothing really fun besides getting ready for Dayspring these holidays, I took them all rollerskating. It was such a hoot to watch them all. Camden fell every five seconds, but got up, and tried over and over again. After the announcement saying “please all skate anti-clockwise”, I looked to see Camden skating the opposite direction of everyone else!! The girls were pretty good, Cassandra even improved. I didn’t skate this time, so I dragged Cassandra around for a few rounds, and then all the children took turns with her. I found it hilarious to look up and see Stephanie holding Cassandra’s hand and an asian chap who was about 2o, holding Cassandra’s other hand. They went around the rink a couple of times, Steph’s expression was “help me, I feel awkward”, while Cassandra was having the time of her life.Today my sister took all of the children to the movies, and to Mcdonalds. Tonight my two eldest went out, and needed to be picked up at 10pm. Now we are watching a dumb movie, yawn!Jared came home with a Playstation Move this week, it’s sooooo funny. This is Lachlan as a computer person. It actually looks like him. We only have some demo games at the moment, but it is enough to test our skills.
