Paleontology, archeology and digging for treasures....

The children had fun digging for treasures in sand this afternoon......it was good fun! I loved seeing Taylors eyes get wide when he saw a bone or arm of his Mummy in the sand and it was so sweet every time Kylie screamed with excitement when she a dinosaur bone in her sand!!! :) So much fun :) Poor Stacey had to deal with the sand setting her nerves on edge the whole time but to be honest it felt like sweet revenge for the fact that she has gorgeous nails and I don't ;) hahahahaha!!! sometimes life just isn't fair hahahahaha ;) OMG her nails are so gorgeous - naturally gorgeous - I mean how unfair is THAT?? lol!

j/k Stacey ;) see you soon :)

Singin' and dancin' with Santa!!!

Today Sam and I went to spend the afternoon with Stacey, Taylor and Kylie!!! We had sooooo much fun! They have this giant dancing Santa who sings, and we got to dance along with him! The first time we switched him on, Sam wasn't too sure what to make of him. He didn't exactly run away, but he did go and get a book and pretend to sit and read and act like he just wasn't interested at ALL ;)

Then a little while later Sam got used to santa and joined in with the dancing but the children were dancing so fast and furiously that they didn't stay near Santa long enough for Stacey to get a picture! So I joined in the dancing to try and get them to stay with me near Santa - but that didn't work either!

Staceys family just had the most gorgeous family pictures taken for Christmas!!!! Sounds like they had quite an adventure getting them taken, but it was well worth it!! Beautiful pictures Stacey!

Thanks so much for a great afternoon Stacey - hope to see you next week :)

I've been naughty!

Talking to mum yesterday I was saying how this will be the first year we don't have a proper Christmas pudding - no one has visited us this year and brought any over.....and yet she has 4 sat in her pantry including a large one waiting for someone to bring it over for us! Olly isn't coming over in time :(

Lloyd said to get Mum to Fed-ex the puds over and we'll pay and I was thinking about that and then I started looking online at the British Import stores. The local store didn't have any decent puds on Sunday - $20 for a tiny one that had some weird sauce with it, and it was a make I had never heard of! So I may as well pay $10 in Safeway for theirs! But thats a gamble for Christmas Day!! So I looked online and found a place that sells all Marks and Spencers goodies, and I've ordered two M&S puddings!!! Also two cans of Lucozade original WOOHOO!!! Ad a big tube of jelly tots :) Oh I am so spoiled :)

I looked for Lloyds favourite goodies and they didn't have anything really that he liked :( So tomorrow I will look for him! Maybe the place in Calgary will do his favourites!

But woohoo - we WILL have Christmas pudding - it isn't Tesco but at least it's M&S!!!!
