I hardly even know where to start...

Well for starters our internet has been playing up, hence the no posting!! Touch wood, it's working okay tonight for me. I'm sure everyone has just been waiting on baited breath to hear what I've been up to...lol : )

So...the annual Rockhampton Show was on last week. I had been planning on entering this year in the scrapbooking, baking and photography sections but when I looked it up on the net I was too late and entries had already closed but while I was looking Jack was looking over my shoulder so he asked me what it was about and I showed him some pictures and explained how exciting it was and blah blah blah. Bad move!! We had to count down for a fortnight leading up to it. He was talking about it constantly and acually still does mention it on a regular basis. The big day arrived and we headed off along with Grandma Joy, Grandma Jean & Auntie Jenny. Jack was such a good boy. He patiently looked through all the pavilions and things with us and stayed in him pram for a bit of the time and held hands. He had rides on a few different things (I thought I was going to be sick on the cup and saucer ride), played all the clown ball games and had a few goes at the fishing and duck hooking things. All in all he ended up with a pretty good stash of junk...a squeezy ball, 2 slinkies, a ping pong pusher(which is really a gun, but we don't really have any gun toys in our house), a plastic motorbike and a parachute guy. They really like to give little boys swords. One woman gave my the funniest look when I asked her if we could please exchange our plastic sword for a non-violent toy. :P Here's a few photos...Feeding the animals in the petting zoo.Playing the clown game with Grandma Joy helping and Great Grandma Jean looking on.The duck game (just like on Maisy)

On the dogems with Dad. Driving the train. He thought he was so cool. He got to ring a bell and everything. It was hilarious to watch, every time the train went over a little bump and the bell would ting he'd grab it and give it a couple of tings and he wouldn't look at us...he was too busy driving.Driving the boat. His boat kept spinning around and around and you could see his little mind tick over, he was looking at the ride attendant as if to say, "man, I got a dodgy boat!". And flying a plane (a pretty pink one)It was a very long day. We got there at about 10.30am and didn't get back home until about 9.30pm. Jack of course crashed in the car on the way home and my Grandma Jean, who is an octagenarian (she's in her 80's) spent the whole day with us walking around and around. She's a wonder my Gran!!

On Sunday morning we met up with our mum's & bub's group for a little outing to the miniture trains. We've only been once before when the kids were about a year old. We took along some morning tea and then everyone went for a few rides. I can't believe how much weight those little trains came pull!! It's only a gold coin donation for a ride and the kids just had such a wonderful time.

Jack with Kim & Charlotte and Erica, Hayley & Lauren.In the afternoon we were joined by Kim, David, Jared & Charlotte for our regular walk with Grandma to the park.We found some cool stuff. There was a particular tree that had heaps of beetles on it.We gound a praying mantis...and we found a LOT of rocks!! Jack's newest obsession when we go walking. He just has to throw every bloody rock in the creek. Such a boy thing to do.After a play on the swings we went and played frisbee. Jack kept turning around to us and saying "ok, stand back guys, stand back!". It was very cute. He did at one stage drop his lip a little and said that he didn't want to play because he wasn't very good. That was sad to hear him say something like that at such a young age.Last night I went out with the girls from work and we saw the Sex in the City movie. It was really good. I cried a bit and then also ended up with tears running down my cheeks from laughing so much as well.

I also did my first sort of photo shoot for my friend Charlene of her family, little Aeron and big Aaron. I'm really pleased with most of the shots, they came out pretty good. I'm going to try to really learn how to used my camera properly.

Alrighty then, I'm off to bed. I've been falling asleep as I've been tying this and I spring awake o find a line of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nitey night!!
