week two School Holidays

30th June:   well after 4 days of rain the girls are outside playing, its still chilly but good to get some fresh air. we also went to the Art Gallery in Ipswich to see the Wild things and did craft stuff :)
then a Wii night of games as the girls have been so good.

1st July:   Today is hard for me as I look back at 3 years ago, this day was the end of Alex's 4 weeks or Double radiation and we celebrated with a party and then went to the wonder factory for some crafts and fun, but on my way there I get the call I never wanted to get in those last 2 weeks  My dad had been found Dead ( drowned ) he was missing for 11 days and to hear those words and to know I will never speak to him again hit home hard, I walked into the Wonder factory and the staff who knew me well in the last 4 weeks asked what was wrong, they took the girls and called the social worker and I broke down.
must say I was glad when I had cleaned out our unit and was home again with hubby and the girls, but now i had even more things to do sorting out will ( never found it so Public trustee had to handle it) funeral ( I had the funeral fund that covered it all thankfully ) and family and friends calling again like they did when we found out Alex had Cancer...
OK revisit over we didn't do much today we just relaxed and tried to reflect on our year so far as
1. we are doing well ( hope this doesn't jinx us)
2. no major illness's ( only hiccups like me being admitted lol)
3. possible going home to Adelaide in December and getting a Family Christmas and the girls to see their grand parents aunt and uncle

2nd - 5th July: these days we stayed home as QLD had Cold nights -1 on the Tuesday morning ♥ good days to stay in side and stay warm
Monday we also spent the day in our PJ's  and I got the girls outside for a couple of photo's and a small picnic

6th July: today Hubby did his Tax and we had the photographers from the Local Rag stop by to get a photo or two for the Bridge to Brisbane story
7th July:
7th July:  Sea-world Tickets burnt a hole in our pocket so we decided to use them and go see Dinosaur island and sponge-bob
we had a great day and even with Rain forecast for both our area and the Gold coast we had blue skies











8th and 9th July: we just relaxed and got things back into Routine for school's return and also sorted some things out for Miss Alex's 8th Birthday next weekend

10th July:  School is back today term 3 we also have Alex's 8th Birthday next weekend
