I've been away from the blog world lately. Not for any reason in particular, just pure laziness really! So let's see, what have I been up to lately.....
Well I've thrown a surprise baby shower with a friend of mine for another friend of ours (which turned out as a success), and I've even thrown a Tupperware Party! It's not something I normally do (as those that know me would know), but I thought I'd give it a go as I decided it would be nice to get free stuff. As it turned out I made over $1400 in sales I did pick up a few free things which was great.
I've been baking a lot lately, though no surprises there. I'm currently sitting here feeling like a blimp due to the sticky date pudding I made from scratch about an hour ago. It was so good though! I made coffee icecream the other day, and a rainbow cake for the girls 4th birthday. The cake didn't turn out like I wanted but Miss E kindly told me that I was the best cake maker and wouldn't let me get rid of it. No pictures of any of these unfortunately though as the battery in my camera has completely died. :(
I can't believe how fast my little girls are growing. It feels like only yesterday that I was going through the highs and lows of having new born twins and just trying to get through one day at a time. Now they're four years old and in school 3 days a week. Wow!
They had a good day, though we didn't have a party or anything for them. We took them to the Playshak and Toyworld to spend their birthday money. They were kindly given enough cash as gifts to pick out their very own big girl bikes, which they absolutely love. Even Master C is jealous of them. They have been riding around all day yesterday and today on them, and hubby was kind enough to take them for a ride around the park this morning.
Master C had a good day today too. We've recently become acquainted with the neighbours (which I swore I'd never do! LOL) so he's been around there playing with their little boy all day. It's good for him because I can still see and talk to him through the fence but he's completely out of my hair!
The neighbours are nice people, one of which works on my base, so his son and Master C can boast together about their parents.
Righto I'm off to iron my cams, ready for the Monday that awaits me when I wake tomorrow.................. :/

You know you live in Darwin when...
How true..... You know you're in Darwin when:-
1. The best parking space is determined by shade instead of distance....
2. Hot water comes out of both taps.
3. You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron and bottle opener.
4. The temperature drops below 32c and you feel a little chilly.
5. You discover that in February it only takes two fingers to steer your car.
6. You discover that you can get sunburnt through your car window.
7. You develop a fear of metal car door handles.
8. You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:00am.
9. Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and get cooked to death?"
10. You realise that asphalt has a liquid state.
11. Farmers arefeeding their chickens crushed ice to prevent them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
12. The trees are whistling for the dogs.
13. While walking back barefoot to your car from the beach, you do a tightrope act on the white lines in the carpark.
14. You catch a cold from having the aircon full blast while you sleep during the night.
15. You learn that Casuarina Square isn't a shopping centre - it's a temple to worship air-conditioning.
16. Sticking your head into the freezer and taking deep breaths is perfectly normal behaviour.
17. A cup full of ice is considered a great snack.
18. An electricity black out is life threatening because your aircon and your fans no longer work and you are seriously going to be cooked!!
19. You no longer sit on a couch - why would you whenyou can settle down on the cooling tiles instead.
20. You need a stubby holder to keep the beer cold, not your hands warm
21. No one cares if you walk around with no shoes on.
22. You keep everything in the fridge, including potatoes and bread etc....
23. People have enough left over beer cans to make boats out of and have a whole regatta with... 24. The effort of towelling off after a shower means you need another one right away.
25. Standing naked under a ceiling fan is an acceptable way to pass time.
26. You wait till it starts raining to go for a run!
