howdy guys,we are home.the trip up there was anightmare.it is a 4.5 hour drive,we left at 11.20 am thinking we would be there by about 5 ish with a stop for lunch....WELL.....we kept losing all the luggage on the roof cos it was so windy and absolutly pouring so we stopped about 4 times trying to tie it all down,we eventually made it to the bottom of the mountain at 6pm and then there was a terrible blizzard going up.a bus went over the edge and cars were falling off the cliff everywhere.we didnt know how to put the chains on the wheel so had to pay a guy to do it for us.i pulled in under a carport for a guy to do it and knocked all the load off the roof..LOL....wasnt funny at the time,me and grant were really stressed and the kids were beside them selves as they had been in the car for 6 hours by this stage,then we crawled up the mountain and couldnt see a foot in front of us from the snow storm and the traffic was terrible due to all the cars slipping off the road,it took 3 hours to get to the top instead of 1 hour.we got there at 9pm. over 9 hours!!!!!
anyway we were all pretty excited when we got out of the car and found ourselves in the most beautiful winter wonderland.it was like being in a xmas fairy tale.we went into the chalet and it was geourgous and homy with a lovely fire burning,we unpacked and went to bed,we were exhausted,the next morning we ventured out and built snowmen and made snow angels in the snow and walked around the village,it was beautiful but half an hour for the babies was enough,they just wernt used to being so cold,grant and the boys went taboggening etc and i stayed in the with the little ones. the next 2 days went buy pretty much the same with lots of photos and restaurants for dinner,chantelle got really sick with tonsilitus so it was off to the hotham medical center to get antibiotics,she picked up the next day and seemed alot better by wednesday,so thursday we put the babies iunto the hotham day care and we went skiing,it was awsome,me and grant have got really sore bodies now and didnt even know we had muscles in some of these painful places,it was sooo much fun and corey was a natural,he pulled on his skis and was flying down the big slopes with ease,me and grant got a lesson and spent the afternoon skiing on our own,james hated it and took his skiis off straight away but was happy to watch.we were so sad we didnt get to do it earlier due to chantelle being sick cos we had to come homew today,we are already planning our trip for next year but will go to buller instead as it is only 3 hours away....much better i think.
i found out from a friend that you could order the big things from the target sale early so i went up last weekend and ordered the trampoline,doll house,kitchen and other large things out the front of target at a table before the sale.it was so easy and they just send you the receipt in the mail and it goes straight onto the xmas laybye at the sale price.....how easy is that.

thankyou all for your kind words last week,i was at an all time low and may even have discuss the posibilty of depression with the dr.didnt think i would be doing that but i should at least rule it out if it isnt the case.i am feeling better after a break away and am going to try to not let things bother me so much and try to look at the bright side of life.lets see if that helps,sometimes my job as mum,nurse,wife,housekeeper taxi chef etc etc just gets all too hard and i feel like i am drowning.anyway enogh of me.i have really enjoyed reading what you have all been up to
