4 things

About Bear

 

1. He got his Learners permit to drive (hence the cough enthusiasm cough  to wash the car).
 
2. He got a job!!! We are the proud parents of Coles Supermarket newest Checkout chicky.

3. He still likes to argue with his Dad about anything and everything. Its fun NOT.The list of things he is currently debating with us include, consuming protein powder (we say no) having three showers a day (we say no) booking his schoolies holiday (we say no) cleaning up after himself (he says no) doing more study/homework (can you guess who says no).

4.He has purchased himself a home gym. He is very diligent and loves working out (his preferred workout music is 90's grunge and rock ... I hated it the first time around).

5. Just thought of number 5 ... We love him truly, deeply and fiercely (and he, us I suspect).

Showing you his fabulous customer service...

Instagram and being sane has wrecked my blog

I sort of stole that title off Brooke (I nick all her good ideas).

If you really want to know what I am doing ... follow me on instagram (bearlulu) I can't seem to find the motivation to blog ... or maybe I am no longer batshite crazy and need to constantly be poring out my inner most thoughts on this blog... hmmmm.



Anyhoo this is a snapshot of what we have been up too.

I did a development and leadership course for work... and it was held at Mooloolaba Beach. It was stunning!(and I learnt a lot and shock horror I put some of the learning into practice and guess what it works).

David and I took a road trip to help his Dad and Joy pack up and clean their Bay house as they are off overseas for six months. 6 hours alone with David, the BeeGees and Kenny Rogers was ace and sort of like a mini holiday.

I have picked out some paint to paint our dinning room chairs ... see below for inspiration.

David went on a boys fishing weekend and the kids and I hit the beach. We also had tea out. It was a relaxing and good day. The peeps behind us are having their wedding reception on top of a fish and chip shop... I have no words.

 

 

 



We went camping! It was so much fun (until I got a splinter... but even then it was good fun). We went with our neighbours who have baby twins and little boys. It was so good.

 

 

 

 

 

Lulu loves the babies and Selfies. She's great at both.








As we were clearing up the kids rooms, Lulu found some baby clothes. Time and humidity have not been kind to them :-)

 

 

 

Andrew came down from Cookers and we went celebrated by dropping a cash bomb on the Spirit House. 

 

Other things that are possibly only of interest to me (and my Dad lol). This is my work colleague Meegie... I love her so much ... she thinks I'm stalking her... and judging by our work clothes I am!

My gorgeous boy was out of his cast for a week and he hurt his arm at Rugby. This face sums it up. He is on the mend but David had to do the Dr and the hospital... I couldn't face the fracture clinic one more time (listen to me anyone would think I had the break!)

 

Riley also performed in the school Musical - the Seussical.  He devoted A LOT of time to practice and on the night we were so so so proud of our all singing all dancing monkey.

 

 

Hope all is great in your world :-)

Weekend in the Valley

My darling brother and sis Joel and Krys flew to Brisbane for a wedding and Lulu and I got to spend time with them and look after Alexis Margaret!!!! 

My pics aren't in order so this is the lovelies all dressed up for the wedding.

We took Sooty shopping ... she loved it. 

Lucy and I pretty much did this for for the weekend. Poor Krys and Joel didn't get to hold their own baby much! And on that note Krys is so good at letting us all hold and carry Alexis. I remember back when I was a new mum... I would have got cranky with my precious bundle being passed from pillar to post. I know Krysy reads this blog sometimes ... so thank you my Darling from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your precious girl with us.

Krys looking very glamorous, getting ready for the wedding.

My sister Cath and Aunty Nutty looking gorgeous. It was so cool to see lots of old friends and in law family (Ashley the Groom is Andrew's brother).

For the actual ceremony Lucy and I were asked to look after Greg and Susie's baby. Greg and I use to share a flat in Darwin before I met David. It was great to catch up with him and Susie (who I haven't seen since Joel and Krys's wedding as the live in Perth). Gracie May was just delightful and we were in our element with two babies to fuss over.

Sleepy Sooty

Sooty in the Valley

We stayed in an amazing hotel that had lots of restaurants around it. We took Alexis for a walk to the Mexican restaurant and I got the most amazing take away. 

At breaky the next morning. Aunty Cath and Alexis.

Cousins Georgie and Lucy

We spent the day walking around china town and then had afternoon tea at a restaurant Krys was keen to try.

The deserts were very yummy ... the mocha not so much :-)

So stoked to have little Sooty love bites :-)

A big thank you to David who drove to Brisbane and came back after work on Monday to pick us up and save us from the 2 hour train trip home. I love this man!

It was so good to see my family ... Big love and thanks to Joel and Krys for organising it.
