Well the answer apparently is YES.....

So on Sunday we also raised a glass or two to say.....

Boo Whooo Bhula

It is so sad to see him go, we will miss him so,

but you know it won't be the very last time we will see him, cause we are all going out to dinner on Wednesday night to say see Boo Whoo Bhula you really have to go.

We have had so much fun,

What are we going to do with out you ? I get a tear in my eye just thinking about you going. But you'll be back we will see you again probably before May end's.

So get that guest wing ready, the Moose's will be visiting when the weather gets a weeeee bit chilly.

So See you late, see you soon, chill the wine cause we will be down real soon.

Love ya Bree, Love ya Martha, Love ya Girlfriend - love ya Ash Bhula.

Nothing Like a Game Of Two Up

On Anzac day

We all had a great time playing, money was changing hands quicker than Gav & Moose could say "Come in spinner". Apparently two up is great for kid's to learn quick adding and subtracting - sure it is Mrs Herrmann.

What fun was had - still don't know where all my money went ? But must say Kai's money box looks very full today.

25th April 2010

This Is

Just because Daisy is so cute and Kai is such a handsome young boy, who I love so very much.

So While They Have Been Away

Kai & I having been cooking up a storm.

Monday night Kai decided he would like to help cook dinner. So with a little guidance he cooked spaghetti & meatballs - Yummmmmmmm. He isn't bad in the kitchen.

Just has to sharpen up on his cleaning up skills - I wish.....

Home Alone

Well not really alone, nearly, well not really....

Anywho, last Sunday evening we wave our baby girl - well she's not really a baby any more, well in our eyes yes she is, Jenaya headed off to school camp, where is school camp this year - Taman Negara - Malaysia, oh my goodness was she excited, I am pretty sure Sunday might have been the longest day in her life. We get daily updates from the school, letting us know all the fantastic things that they all have been up to - today was white water rafting, then rehearsal's for a show that they are putting on for a local school, then tomorrow they are back at the local school to do some things with the children there. She returns to us tomorrow night and I am sure she will be full of stories - always love a story from Noodle - AHHHHHHH we miss her - specially her little brother and Daisy.

Then on Monday we waved, well I didn't actually get our of bed to wave Marty goodbye - way too early for this princess, but I did mumble have a great trip honey pie. Off to Hong Kong and then Korea, now he is back Friday. So it has just been Kai, Daisy and I this week, been very quiet, little lonely, miss my baby and miss my froggie, but on the up there is less laundry, less washing up, less food to cook, oh and less mess to clean up.

AHHHHHH we miss them....

Even Daisy is missing them - she looks sad (or between you and me she is a little sad she just had a bath - don't think she really likes them YET !! that's baths, she love Jenaya & Moose)

She Came, She Saw and She Conquered....

She is Dot with the Lot......

Why does time fly when your having fun ??

Why does a beautiful lady who is nearly twice my age out last me ?

Why when she leaves us we feel so very sad ?

Why when she leaves us we are wrecked ?

Why are we wrecked ? Why..... cause she is Dot with the Lot and she can go and go and go.....

She loves to shop, she loves to chat,she loves a wine and she love her grandchildren so very much, even when they are beating (whooping) her at monopoly (Kai would like the record to show 3 times - oh don't tell Nanny that you know that)

She loves to play, she loves a little sing-a-long and a jig every now and again and now she loves a little caramel fluffy thing - called Daisy...Oh and Daisy loves her toooooooes.

We had fun, so much fun, is so very hard and sad to let her go, but we know Craig, Donna, Nat and Aaron will have missed her so, so we sent her on her way with a hug, a kiss and a sniff (a few tears did flow) off she went still with a spring in her step... We loved your visit Nanny so very much and can't wait till we see you again, why, cause we love you so.......

So tonight our home is quiet - but you will be happy to know, there is game of Monopoly happening while a storm bubbles above," the heavens aren't happy Mum", Jenaya & Kai say.... Why ? well it's because Singapore is sad cause Nanny had to go.

Thanks for coming so very much, not long now and we will be seeing you for a birthday lunch.

Love you Nanny, Love you Mum, Love you Dot with the lot you make life well you make life just plain good fun.

So You Think Your Having

A bad day........

Well I could probable argue the point on that one. Here in Singapore nearly everyone has a "Helper" - Maid. I am pretty sure expat's came up with the term "Helper", it makes us all feel better - better that we don't have a Maid but a helper....

Anywho where I'm I going with this, well as you know we have moved to a great house, in a great street with some really great neighbour's, I say that they are great neighbour's well the one's we have met are very nice. We have a house to our right - they don't really acknowledge us ever, but they do have a lovely Maid, very sweet always happy to throw the kids ball back over the fence, always a a wave & a smile and a cheery hello, but my goodness do they work her.

I am writing this as I have just looked out my bedroom window and there she is cutting their front lawn with a pair of scissors, she probable has been doing this now for the last three day's and I really don't know how much longer it is going to take her. She also has to do all the washing by hand.......? Now it's just started to rain........ snip snip snip she is still going....

So like I said you think your having a bad day !!

So Another Easter......

Came and went so quickly.

We had a fantastic Easter, the Easter bunny found Jenaya & Kai, as always left way too many eggs..... Not that I think they will go to waste, but just too many. With Nanny in town and Daisy the dogs arrival it was always going to be a great day.

We got to spend the day with Nanny, Daisy the dog and our very good friends The Herrmann's, who are part of our Singaporean family.

We had the menu all planned out, slow roasted lamb shoulder - Marty roasted this baby on the BBQ for a good 5 hours, with Gav's rustic gravy, then there was the couscous salad and potato bake, followed by a homemade malteser ice-cream cake, for the kiddies and a cheese platter for the grown ups, oh and chocolate of course. It was just scrummmmmy.

In between course's there was the Easter egg hunt - the eggs were hidden, the buckets handed to the kids and then the starters gun, they were off..... the eggs were everywhere... After a action packed 10 minutes all egg were account for, buckets full and by now more room in their chocolate stomach's to eat more eggs ahhhhhh.......

We all hand a fantastic day, but having so much fun really does wear you out, lucky we have 12 months to recover.

So to all, we hope your Easter was as much fun us ours and you got to spend it with some very special friends or family like we did

Then Noodle Got Hold

Of my camera and took some really fantastic shots.

Just Out and About

Taking a few snaps...... Cause you'll never know what you will end up with ??

And She Brought A Friend....

So you know Daisy arrived, well Lilly did too.

Lilly belongs to our very good friends The Herrmann's. They happen to be away in Phuket when both the puppies arrived so we have her here. Kind of working out well, one dog for Jenaya & one dog for Kai.

Oh and double the poo.....that's not so great.

Today Lilly will be heading to her new home and she will fit in with The Herrmann's extremely well...... They're all a little crazy - just like Lilly hahahahaha.

Daisy Has Arrived

YAY YAY YAY.

Jenaya & I headed out to the airport early on Thursday to collect our baby.

Boy Oh Boy is she beautiful and a personality to boot. She has settled in to her new life and has adjusted really well to the heat here - oh she does love the pool.
