Blasted alarms and other stuff

Blasted alarm didn't go off this morning...someone should blow alarm clocks up...don't know why but it didn't...anyways I didn't get out of bed until 8-15am this morning which is really late for me!! So it was a mad dash to get Kaitlyn fed, dressed and out the door for school but she made it in time as her school is only 2 mins away by car!!! Speaking of school Kaitlyn started at a new school this year. Since she was 3yo she has been going to our local Montessori school which Kerry and I think is a great way of educating your children....however due to multiple reasons we felt that we should look at putting her into a different school for this year. So Star of the Sea was the school we chose and she is LOVING it!!! Heres a couple of pictures of her in her summer uniforms:

The last photo of her shoes and socks she insisted that I take to show Daddy what her new shoes looked like!!!

Ok Hybrid Designs (you can find the link on the side of my blog) are holding a Silent Auction in aid of the Victorian Bushfires Appeal. All things going well it will be held on the 28th Feb. So if you want to pick up some really good stuff/bargains at auction it might just be worth your while popping in to have a look.....I'll keep you updated on whats happening as soon as I get some more details from Mel the wonderful owner of Hybrid.....

Which leads me to my latest efforts in the Survivor competition being held over at Hybrid at the moment. We had to make a postcard to send home so here is mine:

Challenge 4 has just been posted and I have just about finished this one so once it is done I will post it here....

Well not long now until Kaitlyn and I take off into the big blue yonder again to go and see Kerry all the way up in Tuvalu...16 days of almost total isolation on a tropical island followed by 7 days in Fiji with Kerry and Kaitlyn!!! Kaitlyn is a brilliant traveller taking it all in her stride including a 6 hour delay on one of our flights last time we went overseas!! Mind you she had her first plane trip at 9 weeks of age and we drove from Cairns in FNQ to Perth in WA when she was a newborn due to a change in posting so travelling is nothing new to her. She is quite happy to go on a plane by herself to go and see Nanny in Tasmania which she normally does once a year...in fact she is starting to do so much travelling that we have enrolled her in the Virgin Blue Velocity Program and she is quite chuffed with the fact that she has her OWN card with HER name on it and she can earn points to buy "stuff" with!!

Anyway folks thats enough of my ramblings, things to do and people to see today...have a good one!!!
