Before & After

ZAC BEFORE:








ZAC AFTER:





Zac will be 15 this month. He starts in the Australian Army Cadets on October 14. Hence the army style haircut. They are very strict on their dress rules. I hope to have permission to post photos of him in his uniform next week.

He has been nurturing those curls for about 2 years now. He loved them, we loved them, the girls at school loved them. But he loves the idea of being a cadet more.

I am so proud of our boy!

Day 2 of a 30 Day Meme


Today I need to tell you my favourite movie.......


PRETTY WOMAN
starring Julia Roberts & Richard Gere




It's quite difficult to think of just one movie, when there are so many "favourites" out there.


I am also a big fan of Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler), The Princess Bride, the Toy Story and Shrek series and, of course, The Sound of Music (Yodel----aaaaayyyy----heeeee!!!!).



What is YOUR favourite movie?

It's called a WHAT?!












I married into a family where almost all the women are nurses. So there are shitloads of  quite a few medical terms that go over my head.

So, here is a picture of my ecchymosis, bruise.

How's your medical terminology?

Lazy Sunday

A few pics from my household this morning.....






Taken around midday so it was really a lazy day not just the morning. Note that Mr 14 nearly 15 is still in his pj's - that's our favourite school holiday activity - staying in them as long as we want to!

How was your Sunday?

School Reunion

I organised a school reunion for last night.......


















We look pretty good for a bunch of 40 year olds! I'm in the 3rd row, fourth from the left.

It is 23 years since I finished high school (Yr 12) and 25 years since the Year 10's left.

Have you ever been to a school reunion?

Did you recognise your old class mates?
