Andrew and Karla's Place

We took Jessie and Sophie to the Disney show at the entertainment centre at Darling Harbour on Sunday. We didn’t tell them where we were going other than out. We did think that Jessie might twig to where when both of the girls were wearing their Minnie Mouse outfits and I was wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt.

We even saw one of Jessie’s daycare friends Sarah in the carpark and Sarah was telling Jessie of the great show she had just seen.

The show was good and we had a look around the markets afterwards as well.

I think Sophie wins for the best isle dancer for her efforts during the show.

It all happens to quickly, week one of three is already gone. Karla and I both had Monday and Tuesday together and managed to get out and have a child free lunch yumcha on Tuesday at the Tingha Palace at the Parramatta leagues club on Tuesday. It was nice and quiet and civilized without us having to tell the kids to be good. Wednesday we had the house air conditioning serviced before our warranty runs out in April, the clean and inspection came back all good with no leaks this time.

On Thursday it was getting the car rego done, this wasn’t so great with an $838.00 bill at the end due to a list of items that needed fixing, plus a check on the oil leak on Monday and having that fixed if the leak is to bad. I did go and see a movie at Parramatta in the VMax cinema, it was Battlefield: Los Angeles. It was ok, very good special effects, a bit grusome in some parts and the story so very typical these days. Story was a mish mash of War of the Worlds, Independence Day and various others and you have the story line.

Also had to get my license redone as my wallet loves to eat and split any cards in it’s care. They did replace it for free as it split on the magnetic strip. I also look very much the crime in the photo.

Friday was just somethings around the house and some grocery shopping.

Today, Karla and Jessie are out at Jessie’s dancing classes, Ballet, Tap and Jazz. Miss J loves all three and does nothing but talk about when her next lessons are. Sophie and I have some us time, while Karla and Jessie are out and about.

Tomorrow will be swiming and off around the shops.

Hope everyone is good and taking care of themselves.

Yes after I can’t remember how long, Karla’s rings, watch and earings turned up last night as she used the spare nappy bag that was in the boot of the car.

The lost items were in one of the pockets of the nappy bag and Karla felt them when getting the bag out last night.

The car was one place we never searched for the missing items.

We both have appoligised to Jessie as she never did take them it turns out.

We went to a spreading of ashes at the cemetery for Karla’s grandmother, a few weeks ago and Jessie and Sophie were both with us.

This has made Jessica think about dying and she has been coming up with some strange statements.

My favourite one is: “I don’t want to die, I will miss myself.”

Another good one is: “I don’t want you under the ground.”

She gets a bit upset with the I’ll miss myself comment when she makes it. It’s still sort of funny though.

I got a new camera as an early Christmas present a few months ago. The camera is the Nikon D90, which is a nice digital SLR. At the time I got the camera body and two lenses, the 18-55mm VR and the 55-200mm VR, both a nice kit lenses.

For Christmas I picked up another lense, which was the 70-300mm for only $149 while looking for a bigger camera bag. (Couldn’t pass it up)

Anyway been taking heaps of pictures and you can find these in the gallery if you are interested. I just have to learn how to use it now along with processing the raw image files as well.
