Almost A Month!!!

God.. its been almost a month since I last "blogged"... and so much has happend!!
We flew over to Groote for a sneak peak and fell in love with the place. Population 1500 scenery breath taking and ppl just so nice ( a much different persona than beat the jone's roxby) about a week later Ben was offered a job and we should be over there before the 5th January... at first I was kind of bummed I had to wait but Jan is perfect as his contract runs out for his company now so we wont owe relocation money to them and our lease runs out so we wont have to worry about all the house stuff.. Ive been through our house like a cyclone throwing stuff out, giving stuff away and packing stuff to take to SA with us ( in 4 wks we head home yeehaa) because they will only pay for one container so anything else we pay for and well i dont want to take anything we dont need!! could cost us a fortune!! But we are all mega excited and cant wait to get over there and start living the dream... a tropical island... yeah. Its going to be awesome. And hot and muggy to boot!! Just a tad concerned that each house has a cyclone shelter attached to it with a stairs going down from the main bedroom! I heard they get 4 warnings a year!
So yeah, 4 wks til our big trip home. We leave on the 10th Nov and are driving ( i hear some oh my god are you kidding!!) but we know theres going to be some tedious moments but we have to tow a trailer back full of stuff we dont need here and we need the car to scoot around sa in when we home ( we are planning a trip to roxby one weekend so look out!!!) it should be good, the kids have been pretty good with the little day trips we do. On the way home we are stopping in Brizzy to see some of bens family and do theme parks again.
Its starting to muggy up here, hot muggy humid and all that gross stuff. so you dont feel like youve showered properly and dried off. Im hoping we are more used to it this time around.
Twins are amazing, crawling everywhere, climbing everything babbling sooo much and fighting! yep they fight over toys already.. what ever one has the other wants even if they have the same thing! its cute but i know its going to get worse and i need to start now to make sure it doesnt get into full blown fights later down the track. They still sleeping great and rori has her 6th tooth coming through and brods has his 2nd coming through. They are 1 in 2 1.2 wks. its so exciting, mostly coz its a sign they are getting older and it will get easier.. it already is coz they are starting to amuse themselves now and climb and chuck things into the toilets....
mj and cj are the same, amazing kids and amazing helpers. i really am lucky to have such good kids with big hearts. they care so much and im so proud of them. they are excited about the move although callum was a little disheartened because he is worried he wont get a bday party again ( he missed out this year coz we moved here but he'll have one a week after school starts)
well i best get to it, brodie is harrassing me for attention so best i get to it!
lots of love
