A few things we are up to....
So my husbands has bought me a professional juicer, which I'm quite happy about but unfortunately i haven't been able to get to use it yet as he has been juicing everything in sight and Darcy has been using it a bit too. lol. I just wish it were summer so i could use all the summer fruits for nice drinks.
I've also been hitting the shops pretty hard :) We have a 70's party to go to on Saturday night so I've been hitting the shops with my mum and with Mr Knightly's mum looking for just the right "thing" it has been especially hard to find something for hubby,but have finally got something,i will post pictures after the event :D I have also been shopping for snow gear for our trip to the snow in a few weeks and have got all snow geared up for under $50 for the whole family and found some stuff for our friends as well, awesome!
Sunday Trip
So Sunday morning we got up early and left for Gympie at 6am so we could get to church for 9am start. We got to Gympie early so we went for a drive by where Mr Knightly used to live and looked at his old house then we went to the park and got changed for church,after church we went on a family history trek. I was getting Lizzie dressed into her clothes when she asked me..
"Mum after we kill the people can we play at the park?" lol Of course i just smiled and said "Yes sweetie, but we might go to the park first :)" I did also mention that "the people were already dead and we weren't killing anyone". We had a lovely picnic at the park and let the kids have a bit of a play so they were happy before we headed to the cemetery to search for my ancestor. The kids had a great time looking for the right name on the grave stones and Lizzie was excited to find a picture of Jesus on the cross and was telling everyone about it, they also had a great time on the road looking at new things that they hadn't seen before and playing games. I didn't find my great great uncle but i did get phone numbers and an idea of what I'm looking for so that was good. I'm very lucky i have a very supportive husband, he doesn't mind me asking him to stop in at cemeteries or going places looking for all our rallies.♥

Evil eye/ My Mr Knightly
I thought i would do an update on my eye :) The specialists have said that something is going on in there and i have to Keep an "eye" on it! lol It has a thickening and it has a cavity so they are concerned...What i'm concerned about is i STILL don't have any super powers from this freaky thing happening in my eye!! At least i could get super sight "able to see mobile phones anywhere, except when encased in lead of course!" lol ,which would have helped on the labour day weekend!:)But as i have no problems with my sight i'm quite happy to go back for my check ups every two months...
I better also explain that my dear beloved hubby is quite put out that he doesn't have an alias on my blog so i'm giving him one...poor baby was feeling left out :) So i'm going to call him my Mr Knightly ;) Just so that you all know who i'm talking about from now on and i'll go through my other blogs and change his name. lol

Labour day adventure
Our plan for the labour day public holiday was : Go to toowoomba so hubby could do a small job for work, meet our friends at the park for morning tea then go down to crows nest national park for a bit of a bush walk and lunch then head home :) But as all Brown adventures nothing goes to plan and someone always gets injured or vomits :)and so this was a regular adventure....
We got up very early on Monday morning and made it in good time to Toowoomba, I stayed with my lovely mum while hubby went and did his small job...2 hours later (which we had planned on) he came and picked us up to head to the park, I'll be the first one to put my hand up "I can't read a map to save my life!!" And yes I'm sure Mr knightly knew that when i married him (or maybe it was in the small print..lol) And YES i got him lost we should have turned right not left! So we were late..I did say "sorry" :) So we had morning tea and my sister and her family also met us at the park which was great. And the guys did the usual-footy and Frisbee, while the big girls monitored the children and made sure the big boys behaved themselves..yeah good luck i hear you say!
After a while we got going to crows nest for the rest of our day,so we could get to the picnic area by lunch :)
Along the road we unfortunately came upon an accident and after four fire trucks, six ambulance and four police, and Mr knightly having a good sticky beak and got all the goss on the accident we had to go back and go down a detour road. So we got to the national park and decided to have lunch straight away because everyone was fading away! so on entry to the walking trails there was a sign saying that you shouldn't touch the water as there had been a sewage spill..well you could imagine all the "poo" jokes etc that was the main topic of conversation lol. It was an enjoyable walk though, coming to the end of the walk we seen a rock wallaby which was exciting and of coure we seen Mr knightly in various poses on top of rocks etc and jumping over poo creek and Edward falling INTO poo creeks lol.
We got back to the rest area tended to all the wounds that Lizzie and Jayne had just got walking(Tripping)across the car park and had some snacks and drinks and toilet stops then we decided to head back to toowoomba and got to the picnic point BBQ area and i think it's a look out too. so we all got into our cars and we noticed something going on in Edward and Elinors car so we pulled back in to find out if everything was ok....Edward can't find his mobile phone..Oh no!! so we looked in the cars, in the eskies, around the picnic area, on the road, at the toilets, IN the toilets (they were green toilets, yum the smell :) "Oh no could it be some where on the trail???" Aargh!! So mr knightly and Edward went back and did the bush walk again looking for the phone while my sisters husband kept trying to call his phone but it kept going through to the message bank..Could it have fallen into the poo creek?? so Elinor and i continued to search for the phone and then to speculate where it could be.. Elinor had ideas that it was a conspiracy between the big boys so that Edward could get an iphone lol
The boys returned with no phone, nothing more to be done so back to town we headed, along the way i wanted to stop at a roadside stall and buy a pumpkin $3 for a Huge! qld blue..yummo, my fav. type of pumpkin. And behold the phone!!!! Elinor had checked the glove box and there it was lol lol Poor Edward no iphone for him :( lol
We got to picnic point after dark but there was lights and so we rugged up the kids it was a bit cool, and sent them off to play...Playgrounds are danger zones you know!.. First Lydia came a cropper on the "Safety" see saw and Brandon was injured on the peddle chair ride and he wasn't even riding it, on that note we left the park and followed my sister round to her place and picked up some stuff and said farewell :) It was great to spend the day with her and her family. Homeward bound we stopped at old faithful (MacDonald's) and had dinner,and the kids played on the playground...sorry ...danger zone.. where Jayne got stuck in between the curly bit of the slide! so i had to go and quickly rescue her. so that ended our dinner at MacDonald's :)
Got home and transferred all the kids into there beds and settled in for the night, or so i thought! I woke up in the middle of the night to Jayne vomiting up all her MacDonald, yes and it continued a further three times! I woke up a tad tired in the morning....hubby having slept through the whole thing!
I love our Road Trips!!!
