OMG that is terrible...<br /><br />now that life is settling down a little, getting into a routine of blogging might just be possible.<br />for those that havne't heard, we are now in Toowoomba QLD.<br /><br />Our landlord in Cooranbong evicted us, cause he had to sell the house. we had so much problem getting a house in that area. applied for well over 20 houses. and nothing. It was a hard road. lots of tears, and prayers.<br />Then Glenn's Brother suggested we look into toowoomba, and the first time it was suggested, I got my back up and said I wasn't moving there.. well the 2nd time it was suggested, we did.. My parents and Glenn's parents had the girls for a week.. we took Ben with Us, and headed up on the sunday night.<br /><br />we had a look around at housing, and its $100,000 cheaper to buy up here. things looked brighter. I had a look around up here, and it grew on me. tuesday came, and we looked at a heap of houses.. finally at 4pm we came here.. its not a pretty house on the outside, but the inside we loved. it would suit us perfectly. that afternoon we put in an offer.... later it was rejected, just upped it a tiny bit, and voila it was accepted!!! wow scary! it was Under what we had planned on spending! Awesome.<br /><br />we had a look at a church school here, and applied for the girls.<br />made lots of phone calls and arrangements before we headed for home. We drove home on thursday night. Ben slept once again. And then we picked up the girls from school, and told the teachers. I cried when I told the kindy teacher.<br /><br />school broke up the following week, the truck was arranged, FIL was driving the 8t truck up for us. and we moved the following week. phew!<br /><br />Our house hadn't settled, but we had to move in the school break. so we stayed with BIL & SIL until our house settled, the friday before Mother's day. Late in the afternoon.<br /><br />I picked up the key at 4pm, and Met Glenn & BIL here with the first load in our house before Sabbath.<br /><br />we got another load done on sat Night, and then Sunday did many loads after a macca's breaky. (for mother's day)<br />Mother's day, May8, was our first night in our new home... ahhh...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLwwNeNE_oemn4ZbN5yPgf3U_k4kPdbs6TwW-eRwYSLTANG6y_T-iwyJ1FqwVoSgYZT02lB1CKB2fSU2Ktb736S4JqgvG25zhI1yXx4qQ9ufzwpcLkxSs7ffoCLqm66Y_p-40Q/s1600-h/front.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLwwNeNE_oemn4ZbN5yPgf3U_k4kPdbs6TwW-eRwYSLTANG6y_T-iwyJ1FqwVoSgYZT02lB1CKB2fSU2Ktb736S4JqgvG25zhI1yXx4qQ9ufzwpcLkxSs7ffoCLqm66Y_p-40Q/s320/front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364053051778823490" border="0" /></a>The Arthur Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06812102485455295052noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24811214.post-9277916407328882009-01-18T12:37:00.002+11:002009-01-18T12:44:54.959+11:00playing with the Kangaroos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhn5cjjl_oOisFFAZypiJ-F-j8CtJMNjBkaBqBkuLITszMhxXIaqyj6J0vrn9c8VKZEJGfSdTmYuqG0GNd4QXNqsHJxIWBaMtEOIlLUuhtOdXvJNKihplvqtlcz-796Qob8QKp/s1600-h/Kangaroo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 412px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhn5cjjl_oOisFFAZypiJ-F-j8CtJMNjBkaBqBkuLITszMhxXIaqyj6J0vrn9c8VKZEJGfSdTmYuqG0GNd4QXNqsHJxIWBaMtEOIlLUuhtOdXvJNKihplvqtlcz-796Qob8QKp/s320/Kangaroo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292442963306749746" border="0" /></a>this Kangaroo, was laying down..

I have been a bad bad but busy blogger.<br /><br />Its October already.. Breast cancer Month!!<br />Ok so catch up here....<br /><br /><ul><li>July - we had a quick trip to Qld for David & Adele's wedding. Glenn's brother was remarried on July 13 in Toowoomba. Glenn had come down from townsville with his Parents and Randall and Mel & Nat met them up there as they went with Uncle Jeffrey. around 630pm the saturday night before hand I chose to drive up there with the little ones. Left about 815pm and got to toowoomba (in Qld) about 730.. just as I was coming into town we ran out of fuel... ugh.. 750kms after I filled up down here LOL Lovely Wedding. the Monday morning we got up and went to Movie World on the gold coast. left there, and chose to drive home.. After of course visiting with Rosemarie & Andrew and the boys. Got to Grafton and got a motel.. it was only midnight. then travelled the rest of the way home the following day. </li><li>My birthday of course was at the end of the month.. and we had a lovely time. </li><li>August - not too much happened. Keeping up with the kids.. figuring out where exactly I want to be in life.. and thats still a work in progress lol</li><li>September.. wow... september already. Yep we've been married 11 yrs now. And this year it fell on Father's day. My Inlaws came over for a BBQ after being away for about 4mo. they were only home a few weeks then off to travel for a few more weeks. </li><li>September I also decided to take on being a tupperware demonstrator. Its fun, I am with a great team and am really making progress :)</li><li>October.. the school holidays are here.. its a long weekend time and also a camping time :) we went to Allyn River, and had a fantastic time. Kids didn't want to go home, Nat jumped off cliffs and our old puppy dog came. he was worn out. And now the kids are begging to go again. </li><li>School holidays we haven't done too much. its been warm. We have made a sandpit for the kids, got a rooster & 3 hens (still too young to lay) and spent heaps of time as a family. </li><li>Glenn is still out of work, he's had a little work, but only 10days worth. Hopefully we will know something more in the next couple of weeks. </li><li>Kids go back to school tomorrow YAY they are excited as they have been getting bored at home. And then there is missing their friends. Summer uniform yay. </li><li>we have also had the twins assessment for school and its all a go ahead for next year.. its scary to think my babies are about to start school even worse when miss Kaitlyn tried on her uniform *sob sob*</li><li>Ben is finally looking ready enough to potty train, so the potty is out and ready to use this week woohoo</li></ul><p>Well its dinner time, I promise to be a better blogger ;)</p><p>xoxoxo</p><p>OOPS forgot the pics.. check out my facebook albums... </p><p><a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=54613&l=242b9&id=606416721">CAMPING</a></p><p><a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=44263&l=ab21b&id=606416721">JULY +</a></p><p><a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=55738&l=f4950&id=606416721">OCTOBER</a></p>The Arthur Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06812102485455295052noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24811214.post-16120887606182391212008-06-12T16:29:00.002+10:002008-06-12T16:37:10.151+10:00Finally some answers - I hopeOk, a little background..<br />When I was pregnant with Natalie, I said I was having a boy or a problem girl.. well I got the latter. hopefully I didn't jinx myself.. Natalie has been a difficult child. And until the last 18mo I just thought it was her being a P.I.T.A. but i questioned it. Toward the end of last year I requested that Nat be assessed, for what I didn't know. probably ADD. Until recently a friends daughter was diagnosed with Aspergers. I went through the check list, and a heap of other information and Nat displays alot of the signs of aspergers. so... Once again I headed to my GP and now have a referral to a child psychologist. Aug5..

Nat says to me, mum where's the other ginger kitten.. they are always hiding underneath one another.. so we started digging.. discovering that TWO weren't in the box.. I was devastated.. we searched the house, all over. nothing.... i was so upset.. i even searched her hidey holes outside (yes at 11pm in the rain)<br /><br />The next day (yesterday) Misty went missing.. i thought maybe i could follow her and if she had hidden the others, i could get them... all the kids were looking for her, but i went back in to check the box and there she was feeding. but i could still hear a meow.<br /><br />I moved the box, and the meows got louder. there were 2 very distressed kittens at the back of my shoes..<br /><br />what i think happened.. is they went climbing.. just crawling as they do.. and climbed up but couldn't get back.<br /><br />Anyway all ends well... mummy & babies were reunited and are all fine now.The Arthur Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06812102485455295052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24811214.post-37093127263818188372008-02-12T19:40:00.000+11:002008-12-09T08:25:06.084+11:00HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY GIRLS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpDWqykI873J-GU_rGKVz0kcDonI2Seo1f_F5VV0LbLuml1gGr9c2NQLxuh-G5cYuQZqupwMfMRks_QdMdFOYZSsWMfoAqAQ45QG-B229bLQA148hJi0syI6YisVd0ak__r6Z/s1600-h/Picture+155.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166014782817751874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpDWqykI873J-GU_rGKVz0kcDonI2Seo1f_F5VV0LbLuml1gGr9c2NQLxuh-G5cYuQZqupwMfMRks_QdMdFOYZSsWMfoAqAQ45QG-B229bLQA148hJi0syI6YisVd0ak__r6Z/s200/Picture+155.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>our girls are now 4.. i can't believe how time flies.. it doesn't seem that long ago that they were born.. i know we all say that..</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Sunday we went to taronga zoo for their birthday. it was a fantastic day. we all had fun :)</div><br /><div>monday we had cupcakes at Katya's house.. went to target, came home and got dinner ready to take to nann</div><br /><p>y & poppy's. where they both got a new bike with trainer wheels, helmet, and an outfit for winter :) very lucky girls. </p>The Arthur Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06812102485455295052noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24811214.post-62968645419409293252008-02-12T18:34:00.000+11:002008-12-09T08:25:06.199+11:00we have kittens :D 06.02.08<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixoUFPuoGYL3wIAXv3s8-jilU0zO_RcJWc6-0_E8AlbttL-6JAFWcxVmU5TCMsFGRwnd1_cdKzr5sxRo9QGtHg3jPPATL5rshD4or9DOxWZCnaXzE4-VC_1buh12S2A4tATzJK/s1600-h/Picture+119.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166005260875256626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixoUFPuoGYL3wIAXv3s8-jilU0zO_RcJWc6-0_E8AlbttL-6JAFWcxVmU5TCMsFGRwnd1_cdKzr5sxRo9QGtHg3jPPATL5rshD4or9DOxWZCnaXzE4-VC_1buh12S2A4tATzJK/s200/Picture+119.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>WOOHOO the much awaited delivery of our kittens is finally here..
