Crop for kids 2008 has begun

Last Wednesday was the first committee meeting for Crop for kids next year. There is an amazing and intelligent bunch of women planning this (including me lol) and it looks to be the event not to miss. Put in your diaries Saturday 15th of March Last year it was good Friday for obvious reasons, being a fundraiser for the Royal Children's hospital but this year it has been made the Saturday before so more people can come. Check out the crop for kids link on my side bar. Even if you cant make it there will be online classes, competitions and much more leading up to the big day.

The week in review takes me back to last Monday when I went to court with Bek. This was to see what happened to the guy that smashed into her. He was charged and got a conviction for careless driving, a $500 fine and 4 months suspended license. Would have liked to see him lose his license a lot longer and a bigger fine but hey, at least that part has been put to rest and Bek can get on with other things. She has a trip booked to Bali the lucky bugger in Sept so at least that wont be hanging over her head while shes on holiday.
Tuesday Jacqui and I got our tax done with my lovely accountant SallyAnne. We then had lunch at The Rocks in Mornington and browsed through Paper 2 for a bit.
Wednesday- should not have gone to work. It was just one of those days when I knew I should have had a sickie! Cant go into too much detail but I was involved in an incident where my hair was pulled and i was pulled to the ground. I am still feeling very sore and sorry for myself!! But all part of the job unfortunately. That night I hosted the first crop for kids committee meeting which was great.
Thursday I was still recovering form Wednesday and on Friday I was still too sore to take Taylor swimming so DH did it. I therefore got to take some photos. This is Taylor ready to jump in the pool by singing the crocodile song. She just loves swimming and always dives in before the song is finished!
Friday arvo I got a bit spoilt. I bought myself a new Oroton bag to sling over my shoulder and big enough to fit more than items I only carried pre Taylor, I stocked up on my clinique products and just when I thought that was it, I showed John some earrings I liked and he said try them on, I will buy them for you. He does surprise me sometimes. The next day I thought i would have a meltdown if I didn't get to scrap as I hadn't done any for so long. I think John saw this coming so he took Taylor out and I scrapped 3 pages. I'm a much better person for it now!!
Today John's son Dave and girlfriend Michelle and Johns other son Rikki with wife Loz and baby Ruby came over. Taylor just dotes on Ruby. Don't know where she gets this motherly instinct from!
We all then headed over to Sandown because our car club the HSV owners club were doing racing sprints there today. Cold and boring! I used to love it but now everyone is new and I don't know them very well and everyone has fully built race cars. They don't use their road cars much anymore which also makes it a bit boring.
Till next time
