So as the title says we are heading to Adelaide for a 10 day holiday on Friday morning, We will be staying with my sister, meeting lots of new people and visiting the Monarto Zoo, that is all I have planned for now!
I am sure there will be loads more to do.
We will be moving house sometime between coming back from adelaide (on the 30th november) and christmas. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
I will see you all on the other side of our holiday.

Bout time
Well I guess I better up date here, and while JB is down what better time to do it?
We are in the process of doing 6 different things that are required for us to get a homeloan/investment loan approval by the bank so we can have our cake and eat it too... well until we figure out if it will just all work out or if it will all be too much for us LOL.
Unfortunately a requirment of the bank is that we have a signed tenancy agreement to get our loan, how do you let out a house that you are living in? and how do you make a date to let out the house if you don't know when you will be moving out of it, because that is based on when the settlement take splace and the settlement can't take place until the loan is approved and financed!
Then we need a completion certificate for the house we are in to complete the reno's which need more work done to them than we originally thought needed to be done so that is in the process of being done too!!
The house is on the market to sell but we can only get the loan based on rental income, so finding someone willing to rent a house that is on the market might be interesting.
Um that'll do for now provided everything goes to plan we will be in the new house before xmas and we will have a tennent here to help us out too :)

It is official
Well we are officially home schoolers... I got my letter the other day from the premier!
I have a card and all :)
So we are official and it has given me the kick in the butt that I needed to start documenting things better (I hope)
So shortly I will be doing a post on what we have been up to over the last little while. There is some Beltane celebration, some hockey, and just general bits and pieces that should be said with a few photo's thrown in for good measure.
Hopefully I will get more on track once our lives settle down after the massive xmas and new year break. Moving house and all that Jazz... if it all works out :)

On the way
We have purchased a new printer to assist in our schooling activities. It is a multifunction centre so our first activity was to photo copy our hands :)
Ishtar has a poster about sharks to put together, we are slowly becoming more organised to do things. I have been given a catalogue of learning materials from my sisters. There is some nice things in it and I will go through it more thoroughly with Kurt when he gets home, anything I purchase will help raise money for the school my nephews attend, added bonus???
My little boy loves putting his train set together in all manner of ways and loves playing with his sisters lego.
Ishtar on the other hand just wants to be away from her brother day and night.
gotta go bub waking up

Moving Along
Well, this post has been a long time coming. on the 2nd of June I gave birth to my 3rd child, a beautiful girl, we named her Jezara Bethany. Since then life has been very hectic, we have renovations being organised, started and hopefully in the not to distant future finalised. I have arranged for the carpet layers to come in tomorrow and give me an exact quote so we can book in the day for them to come and do the work, that will leave only a few small jobs in the house for me to finish to complete the interior. Then we have a clean up and the job of getting the exterior cladders to come and finish up outside. After those are complete the house will be on the market within a few weeks and hopefully sold very soon after that.
As for schooling well we are not doing alot in that direction at the moment, I am trying to establish my ability to parent 3 children without involving any type of schooling structure first. We have written a few small stories, are taking part in the premiers reading challenge, and are trying to arrange an excursion to somewhere other than the local park! We are part way through a small project on sharks thanks to my sister who helped provide the books and inspiration to Ishtar for the project.
We are slowly allowing some use of the internet but we are limiting that resource because we find that if she starts using the internet that is all she wants to do! I am finding it a struggle to keep Konrad entertained so that Ishtar has some time to herself, while also juggling a 6 week old baby, but it is a learning curve for all of us, and we never expected it to be an easy one. What is easier, is not having to get up early being sleep deprived to get Ishtar up and ready for school, only to have it raining so we all have to pile into the car, go to the school to find no parking spaces, get everyone out, go into the school in the rain, take Ishtar to class, return to the car in the rain, put everyone in again. Drive home, get everyone out, upsetting Konrad because we didn't go anywhere, get everyone inside while Konrad cries about the "broom broom", only to do it all again at 3 oclock and hope it isn't still raining then!
I am yet to get an appointment to review my registration acceptance and am dreading that coming because of how busy everything is, we have barely anything kept to show, have as yet no photo's of trips out and the organisation of those things I am finding really hard. Alot of our plans where based on having a substantial property to work on and gardens to establish, which is not coming anytime soon. although I hope it will be before xmas.
better go it is getting dark and dinner has not even been thought about.
