And the holidays truely begin for us.

And what a busy day it has been!!!

It started off pretty quite as the older 2 were still at their grandparents. Slept in till about 8am, when byron woke us all up, got dressed and headed off for the shops, to meet nan, pop and the kids. Nan and pop were running quite late, to the point that i started to panic and thought that they had gone to The Entrance, which was the original plan, but thank god no they didnt and arrived at the shops at 11am (meet time was 10.30).

So off we set, first port of call was to get daniel some shoes for his birthday from nan. Got a lovely pair of black and white Omni's with no laces (a BIG request from daniel). It was the time to go shopping for nan, as they lucky lady is going away to the Hunter for 3 or 4 days next week!!!!

Had some lunch, macca's for the kids, and a chicken wrap for us adults, once this was eaten we parted ways.

Amazingly enough all 4 kids napped in the car on the way home (this is only a 45min trip, but who is to complain), got home, and LUCKY for mum, dad was home, so the kids were dumped on him LOL.

The day ended with Daniel going to footy training and the rest of us visiting a girlfriend to see if we can make plans for tomorrow, which unfortunatly wasnt going to happen :( :(.

On a sad note though, I was informed on Monday, that my Uncle who is suffering from emphasima, went for a 3mnthly x-ray, which in turn showed a shadow on his lungs :( :(. We are not sure at this point, if its something sinister or not, unfortunatly though his own father suffered from emphasima, which then progressed into lung cancer.

And my Aunty also discovered that one of her kidney's is dead and the other kidney is only working at 30%. This comes as a great shock as her only symptom that something was wrong, was lower back pain :(.

Please keep us in your thoughts...

Tomorrow though does bring a trip down to the water front for us (beauty of 4 kids, enough kids to keep themselves company ;) lol) and then home for a quite afternoon ;) ;)
