Well we have survived our second week at home!! What a busy couple of weeks we have had. I have managed to get most of the work done I had and most of the jobs done I needed to do. Also got the hair done, legs waxed and eyebrows and lashes tinted - yes that bit was all about me!!!!!!!!
New Norcia was great. We were there for 7.15 to join the class on the river walk which never happened and visit the bakery which was shut on Tuesday. Apart from that we managed to do all the activities, which included aboriginal face painting, art and music. Then we had lunch. Dad and I snuck off to the hotel / pub and had lunch and a couple of beers, and left the kids and teachers to their nachos!! After lunch the kids did boomerang throwing and spear throwing and then went round the musuem.
By the time we left it was 5.30 and we managed to persuade Harry we should leave - we bribed him with McDonalds and headed home. Thanks to Dad for driving! We haven't been away together for ages, and next time we are going somewhere hot and with a beach!
The rest of the week has been good. The candle party went really well and we managed to sell $1700 worth of candles and sold a few raffle tickets. Well done to Lorinda who won the raffle. ( I will get the candles to you soon)
The weekend of the 14th was spent sorting more things out of the kids room, and throwing another bin bag out of each of them. Obviously have to do this when they are not around. Also washed all the blinds in the house, (apart from 2 which we won't mention). Amazing after over 5 years how clean they come up.
Camp Quality came to school today and did the puppet show. We had a session with the older kids and then the younger kids. We had a few photos taken with the puppets and you might see the kids in the local paper as the Melville photographer turned up. We also handed over some cheques to Shelley from camp quality and the fundraising total now stands at $10885.05. What a great effort and a fantastic contribution by everyone.
The operation is booked for the 9th September at this stage. We are seeing the surgeon again on the 1st after the MRI scan on the 30th and unless a miracle happens the operation will go ahead as planned. The shoulder (ball and socket) will be removed, and a bone from the bone bank will be put in to fill in the top of the humerus. The bone from his leg will be placed in the arm, and at the moment that is all I know. The operation will take will take up to 8 hours, and the closer it gets the more real this is all becoming.
Harry went to bed last night and was very upset about not being able to move his arm properly after the operation. He then woke up in the night and the dressing over his broviac had lifted and the only tape we had was the one he was allergic to. So he wasn't very happy with me.
Anyway he had a good day at school today and Ella Miller has been over for a play.
September 4th we are having a jewellery party at home. All the good stuff at a fraction of the cost. 12 - 3 at 58a Wichmann Road, Attadale. Hope to see you here!
Nanny Shirley has arrived back and Laura is coming back tomorrow. Harry doesn't know yet so will just go and pick her up and hopefully surprise him. Although who knows what mood he will be in and how it will all go.
Better go as dinner has arrived. All good home cooking of course.
Have a great weekend.
