Day 345 & 346 WOW oh WOW

Thunder, lightening, pouring with rain.. in Summer. I'm not complaining, I LOVE this kind of weather! There is nothing at all like sipping a hot coffee, at home in tracky pants, while it is crazy outside.

Speaking of coffee's, I'd grab one before you start reading this post.. it's going to be a big one!

Yesterday


Another day, another trip to Whiteman Park. Marley is now allowed out and about after having his shots so he doesn't pick up any nasties. We headed down to our favourite stretch of grass with the Soccer ball and Marley made the most of stretching those cute little legs :P










I love this photo...





Back at home, I was having a cuddle with Sam and telling him that on Christmas Eve we have to leave a plate of cookies (for Santa) and carrots (for the reindeer) and a glass of milk... later on I went into the lounge room to find this. Sam set out a mug of milk with some 98% fat free crackers :P Way cute!

Today


Guys, Lewy and I have totally kicked butt today! Who's butt, I'm not sure, but we still rocked today like no one's business.

We started out with a 30 minute jog on the treadmill, then after we dropped our kiddlywinks to daycare, we headed to John Forrest for a 6km hike.. oh yes we did! Rain, thunder, lightening .... we walked on the wild side. It was brilliant! 


Just to prove it, here is some bad quality camera footage :P

Excuse us while we carry on our conversation through filming...


Sorry for the shaking filming, I'm not drunk I promise :P Listen out for the thunder... eeek!

Best.hike.ever

 ----------------

I've saved the best till last :D

1 month ago, I entered a competition through a Photography blog that I follow. The theme was unique and we had to submit a photo to enter, to show something in a different way or with an interesting format and the winner would be picked based on creativity. 

Guess what, guess what, guess what??! I WON!!! I WON!!! :D

I won a range of items for my camera, which couldn't make me happier!

This made my day, and also made me miss my camera desperately.... so Lewy said he will get right onto sorting out that cheeky shutter.

 ----------------

If today wasn't fantastic already... it's set to get even better tonight. Val and I are having a very special 'Christmas/Birthday' party (it's Val's birthday tomorrow!) in my front lounge room, alongside the Christmas Tree and candles lit, complete with yummy snacks and present swapping. Love. This is what it's all about, precious quality time with friends and soaking up the Christmas spirit. I am happy. So happy. :P

Right! That is all my friends...

Happy Days,
