Hi, the boys are back to school now, and we are getting back into some sort of routine. Grant's new job is going good, apart from run-ins with the turkey, Monday he left his lunch on the table when he got to work, and next minute the turkey had his peanut sandwiches out in the bush lol, then Tuesday, Grant was not impressed when the turkey took his tobacco outside, and tipped it all over the ground, it's a shame that turkey isn't a bit fatter, then we could eat him.

The boys are settling into their new classrooms, and are with a few kids from last year, Cody is bringing home more homework now, and Olie will start bringing home some next week. I help out in their classes for an hour each, once a week, and am going to be doing some volunteer work for the school - helping kids learn to read, and ones that need extra help, the school will get my Bluecard for me, and I do a short 1 hour course next week, then I'll be into it 3 days a week (1hr each day).

They are enjoying their swimming lessons which are on a Wednesday after school, it's only just down the road from us, so very handy. Cody and Olie have got their first newspaper run, they are keen to earn some money, to save for games, it's only once a month, 400 houses, which is a lot, so I can see I will end up doing most of it :) I've just picked up a phamplet run, just got the first lot today, it'll be twice a week (250 houses), all this walking should get me fit. I had to go and pick them up today, guess what the name of the street was called - Newspaper Lane, hee hee, it's right next to the Sunshine Coast Daily, I had wondered where abouts that was, thought I might send them an email sometime, and see if they have any casual work.

We're off to the park not far from us after school, going to cook some sausies on the BBQ down there, and take the cricket bat down, I found this park last week when I was driving around, didn't even know it was there.

Been selling buttons on Trade Me still, I think I'm addicted lol, I've just bought a whole lot of TM, and had them sent to Sonya's house, I can't wait to see them, a lady that just bought some off me, said she was going to make a button charm bracelet, I hadn't seen once before, so did a search on the net, and now I'm hooked, I've just started making my first one, I'll stick a pic of it on here, thought I might sell them, when I've had a bit more practise, lots of the buttons I've just had sent to Sonya's will be perfect for the job.

Right better go, got mail to post, and phamphets to fold before the school pick-up.
