Well, today has been freezing all day. Hasn't really been warmer than about 16 degrees, so they say, and it's going to get even colder over the next few days. Brrrrrrr........ Apparently they've had sleet falling up at Toowoomba this afternoon!!!!!!!
Tyler still wasn't very well this morning when she woke up, so she spent the day at home with Rick. No point in sending her to school when she's feeling like this - much to her disagreement.
Had a great idea for Tyler's birthday party today - I'm going to make some pretty pinwheels for each child to take home with them. An old fasioned idea that I haven't seen used before, (not since I was a little girl) and they go well with the butterfly theme of the party. Had a practice go with them when I got home from work and they work well. Just need to buy some dowel from Bunnings for the handles and some pretty papers.
No photo opportunities today with my new camera.

It's My Birthday Today......
and look what I got from Rick and the kids.
We've had Digital SLR for the last 5 years, which is great, but this is so much more portable and had heaps more features. Also has double the mega pixels too.
It's been a nice day: a sleep in to start with, then FIL and parents arrived for morning tea before we headed off to Sizzlers for lunch. Rick had to go off to work this afternoon, so I've spent the afternoon catching up on blogs and favourite forums on the net.

A First For Us in 11 Years
MAMA MIA!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, finally after 11 years Rick and I finallly went to a movie together (without the kids), to see an adult movie.
Our wonderful neighbor offered to have the children for a couple of hours so that we could head off to see "Mama Mia" at the movies.
In the short time since its' release, I've heard nothing but wonderful reports about it. I was convinced that I would be going to see it on my own, because Rick is not really a movie-lover, but he wanted to see this one too.
WELL - not only was the caste line-up very impressive, but the movie was just FANTASTIC!!! The story-line, the locations and scenery (just stunning) and, of course, the music. As we were walking out I just wanted to turn around and go back in to see it again. Not a person moved out of their seats until every credit had rolled at the end.
Meryl Streep is just fantastic in every sense, Pearce Brosnan is as smooth as ever, and Colin Firth - well what can I say??
Just full of hilariously funny scenes and dialogue and some teary moments too. All in all, a great "feel-good" movie. Not many of them around nowdays, but this is certainly one.
If you haven't seen it, can I recommend it - ASAP. You'll love it!
That music will live on forever.
