School holidays again

Once again it's school holiday time. Veek will be attending Lennox's daycare 3 days a week during the holidays. He used to go to his own vacation care at his school, but carindale PCYC bought it and now we have to drive all the way there if he's gonna attend that one. Carindale is about 15 minutes away and Mum and Dad can't be bothered driving that far in peak hour traffic to drop him off and pick him up. Lennox is excited to have his brother at his daycare. Veek isn't impressed but once he's sees that there's other school aged children there we're sure he'll like it.
Today we went to the Brisbane museum and science centre. That was so cool. Heaps of interactive things to do and lots of interesting stuff to see and learn about. We caught the bus there cause we didn't wanna pay for parking. The bus cost $22 return and there was lots of smelly people on it. Next time we go to southbank we will pay the $15 parking fee just so we can have air con and no smelly people with us. It was 33 degrees today so I don't really blame some peeps for being extra smellier then usual.
It's Mums bday next weekend. Yay!! She's doing the XXXX brewery tour, then dinner at a local thai restaurant, then watch the warriors in the semi finals, then drink at her friend Melly's, then go clubbing. Should be a great night.

September birthdays

This is a big birthday month. Must be all that festive season drunkeness lol.

28th- R.I.P Nana Wrigley
30th- Uncle Alex

What else is the news??? Uncle Pat, Lisa and Tait arrived on Sunday. They've come over for Uncle Ene's 21st. We're most probably gonna do some tourist activities with them while they're here but we have to wait till the weekend. No more MDO's for Mum and Veek.
Lennox has learnt to write his name this week. He's quite excited about that. He's also learnt his phone number and address too.
Veek's also been on a roll at kura. He scored top marks in his assignment on Mexico so now Dad has to reward him.
We've been looking for some summer sports for the boys. Veek wants to do trampolining so we're looking for a club close to home and bubba wants to play playstation, so we're working on that. Maybe we could get him a wii fit for his bday, lil game freak.
Dad's been looking for another job and is still looking for a new car. Until then he'll keep on keeping on at Inghams and will rock the mangi mobile till it blows up lol.
Mum's a big fatty who needs to check herself and get in shape for summer. Nan and Aunty Polly are very encouraging but Mum needs more willpower.

Nan's trip to Brizzy

Well after a bit of nagging from our regular readers here is our update.....

Nana Diane flew in on Friday 15th of August. She came over to attend the convention and we convinced her to stay a little longer and spend time with us. Nan is the bomb!!She has been cooking all our faves since she's been here. Rhubarb and apple crumble mmmmm yummy.Nan even bought her own apron cause she knew we would want her to cook it up when she got here. Tomorrow she is making rock cakes for Uncle Ene.

Speaking of Uncle he got a tattoo on Tuesday. We think it's awesome.

Here's Aunty Kylie's new tatt that she got last month.

Veek played his last game of footy vs Beenleigh. They lost 26-28. Was a mean game though. Veek scored 2 tries. Nana Kim came to watch too. We haven't seen her for months so that was cool.

We taped Lennox's swimming but forgot to take pics. Instead you all can look at this pic that Lennox took of himself.

And 1 more pic of Nan cause she's the best.

Veeky's return to the game

Nivek was back in action today after a long break from footy. His team were expecting greatness and that's what they got. Veek scored 3 tries. Got 1 conversion and did heaps of tackling. But the best of all were the 2 mammoth hits that he put on. 1 resulting in a boy getting carried off the field never to return. The final score was Carina 28- Wynnum 14. 14 of those points were scored by Nivek alone. Congaratulations Nivek.

Not much is going on in Lennox's world. He got a haircut last week and drove Mum crazy the rest of the time. He's back to swimming next week so that might burn up some of his energy. Veek is attending after school care on Lennox's swimming day so it'll give Lennox and Mum some time alone.

Last month Mums work had a dayshift vs arvo sports day. Mum didn't participate in the netball or touch but did participate in the drinking comp. Mum's theory is that you should stick to the sports you're good at.

Here's Mum drinking out of the team trophy.

This is Mum in the team uniform. Dayshift was called the Brofessionals and arvo were the arvo allstars.

Last but not least the highlight of Mums week was making then eating this lovely fried bread. Sounds like a boring life........and it is!!! But the food is great. Mahi mahi mahi and not much else for Mum.

August birthdays

3rd- Aunty Shelley AKA Sexy Shelley
11th- Uncle Sammy Boi

Veek takes the field on sunday. Full game report after that. Game on Wynnum!!

Comeback kings

After 17 long weeks on the sideline Veek will be back on the field on the 3rd of August. He's been cleared of his head injury that he got when he fell off the balcony in March. He's very excited. Mum isn't cause now she has to taxi him to training again twice a week.
Lennox will also be back in the pool on the 8th of August after a 6 week winter break. He's not very excited about that, but we have to put those big feet to use I reckon.
Watch this spot for pics in the coming weeks.......

Update

Well we haven't been blogging much because our life is boring and we haven't been taking much pictures of anything.
Veek's just gone back to school this week. After last terms slack report card Dad has offered him an incentive to try harder at school. He only got 1 A on his last report and surprise surprise it was for PE. Not only that but he apparantly has a rotten attitude towards his work and hasn't been handing in his assignments even though Mum and Dad spend hours on the weekend helping him with them. So this term he can earn $200 from Dad if he tries harder and has a better report card to show at the end of it. We do feel a bit sorry for him because he had time off when he fractured his skull and time off to go to NZ. This term no MDO's and more help at home is hopefully the key to better results.
Lennox had no time off during the holidays. He loves going to day care and has made lots of friends. He even got invited to his first bday party so that should be exciting. No more tagging along with Veeks friends, he's finally got his own. Awwww so cute. Next week at day care they getting 10 chicken eggs that will hatch over the 2 weeks that they will be there. The anticipation is killing Lennox. He wants to keep one of them at the end of it but unfortunately they'll probably end up at work with Mum lol.
Both the boys got haircuts today. Veek got a mohawk and tracks and bubba got spikey hair. no pics though......flat batteries:(:(
Both boys also got new shoes this week too. Mum's not sure what they do at school but somehow they need new shoes all the time. Bloody wreckers ggrrrr.
Mum and Dad are losers who go to work and that's it. Life is boring so hopefully we crack the 50 million on Tuesday. Wishful thinking. Dreams are free though peeps.
