Chocolate with dreams...
Well little Alphonse did not win the cutest pet competition, but he is still our cutest pet by far! I swear he is human and knows exactly what I am saying most of the time.
Last week Tatum, by grandma Joan and I drove up to Mums farm in Wangaratta for a few days. I havn't seen the place for months and was shocked at how much Mum had done. The gardens are better than the botanical gardens, and inside is just gorgeous...it is a testament to Mums hard work and determination. We had beautiful food, fed the cows, walked around the paddocks, and then headed home...without Tatum. She decided to stay a few more days, and Tom picked her up in Melbourne later in the week as Mum and Alan came down for a wedding.

Also, we have exciting news. We have decided to buy the house we have been renting for four years. We have spoken to the owner and to the bank and next year it should be ours if all goes to plan! I am looking at the place with new eyes, we have so many plans: knock out that wall, knock down this wall, new kitchen, wooden floors, bifold doors, two way gas log fire, update bathroom...oh it will be gorgeous when we are done! I have never owned my own home, and I am so excited that we are on track to finally do it.
Anyway, tomorrow is Easter Sunday and we are having a family lunch at my cousins, which will be nice. Hope the Easter break brings plenty of chocolate and family fun your way.

A photo I took of my cat Alphonse is in a competition. The Geelong Advertiser released their Top 40 entrants for Geelongs Cutest Pet last week of which Alphonse was part of. Then on Thursday they released their Top 10...so I am getting pretty excited. Please vote for me! I would really appreciate it. Text your name and the number two (this is the entrants assigned n number) to this number 19777100.
Fingers Crossed!

Long weekend at Dads
We went up to Lea and Dads for the weekend. Saturday we ate and drank outside, then Lea and Dad took to dinner at a HotRock restaurant. Strange concept where the meat comes out on a hot rock and cooks infront of you! Then we went to see Gran Torino...awesome movie. Although Tom and Leanne slept through the whole thing!
Sunday we all went to Bendigo. Jack and his mates played paintball, then we all played the laser shooting game in the dark...forget the proper name! It was so fun! Then Lea, Dad and us three had lunch and came home for a sleep.
A little birdy told me Dad sometimes reads my blog, so I must mention this. On Sunday night when Jack and I ambushed Dad at the fridge to try and get his jelly slice, me hanging on the back and Jack on the front (Dad kept a vice like grip and STILL beat us)...well that is a memory I will keep with me forever. Love you guys xxx

It was awesome....
I was greeted with a big, "It was awesome" after school yesterday! I cried all the way home and started again watching Tatum walk to the car in the afternoon...what a sook! I am so glad she loves it, and has made heaps of friends, so all is well. School photos this week and camp in a couple of weeks...this high school stuff is full on!

High School Eve........
Well today has been a very lazy day, scrapbooking and preparing for tomorrow...HIGHSCHOOL! (insert Jaws music) Tatum is getting a bit nervous, but I am sure she will be fine as soon as she gets there. I am sure she will have a little cry!
Tatum had her BFF over last night for a sleepover and we took some pics of course...dont know what the evil clown getup is about!
Oh! I have to include this photo of Tatum stressing/showing her first pimple off to Miranda...she has been beside herself having it for her first day...now if that was MY only worry I would be a very happy lady!
Back tomorrow with the run down on highschool.

Australia Day Weekend
We went up to Dad and Lea's for the weekend, so relaxing! We went to dinner in Echuca Friday night and out to the lake for the day on Sunday, then home Monday! Have to get Tatums books today...highschool is NEARLY here, scary stuff!
We have booked a holiday and a cruise for the end of the year, so excited. Tom, Tatum and I along with Dad, Lea, the three boys, and Jacks girlfriend Mikayla (and I think her parents too!) are heading up to the Gold Coast for 4 days to do the water park, Seaworld thing...then we are all getting on the cruise ship at Brisbane and coming home. Eight days of bliss. Tom and I have not had a holiday since our honeymoon, and sadly we have never taken Tate on a real holiday ever, so it is something to really look forward to. Tatum is super doopa excited!
Two weeks ago I also started on the fitness loose weight kick. I am walking three times a week with my cousin Jade, this will increase. We start running next week (I am sure I will die!). Have lost over 2 kgs so far, weigh in is today so that should be more hopefully. I just got to the rockbottom stage, I had truly had ENOUGH! Besides, I have to be hotstuff for the cruise.
Hope everone had a great long weekend.
