Ummm..well..yeah...

So Piper has the mumps. A childhood disease that I have never had. Uh Oh... So she is home with me all this week. Quarantined basically. Which is unfortunate, because the weather is beautiful after a week of rain and thunderstorms. Mumps is transferred through saliva and these kids are dribble machines. I am about 115% positive that it has already been spread from Piper to Bella and most likely to me. Although, we can't be sure because of the dormant period. Oh boy!

Where is the super genius we are waiting for that can cure this crap??

Hmm...that is what I would like to know.

Redbull Flugtag 2010

Super Schooner

The view from our seat!

Bridezillas

(men all dresed up as brides was HILARIOUS)

This was a great thing to go see!

I met up with a group of people who were from the states.

I got really sunburnt on my face & now have racoon eyes!

(shame on me for not wearing sunscreen)

It was super duper hot and redbull was exceptionally cheap that day!

Oh did I mention there were 30,000 people there?!?

An Au-Pair Weekend

This past weekend I made some new friends!

They are all other au-pairs who all happen to be from Germany.

Yes, there was a language barrier.

They would start talking in German & look at me like they

were waiting for me to reply, then it would click that I speak English!

Fun fun day though!!

PS: My usually amazing hair is frizzy in this picture, because it was raining and I didn't have an umbrella.

Yay!!

I have been in Oz for two months!!

It's great! I have met a group of girls who all happen to be from Germany!

They are all great fun!

(Next time we ge together I will get a piccie!)

GOLD COAST HOLIDAY!!!

Zoo Round Too

Monkeys!!

Great time at the zoo!!

Clovelly Beach

Blue bottles (above) sting you if you step on them.

Sunday the whole family loaded up in the car and we went to the beach.

Ate lunch at a really good restraunt
(Ceaser Salad...YUMMY!)

Then we went to a little beach

Svenja & I went exploring while the rest played in the water!

The car fits 7 people. It was loaded with 3 carseats, 4 adults, 1 pram, & 3 beach bags.

I think the word I am looking for is..

Crowded!

Im Having Withdrawls

I am very sad to say that Ashley Brooke Fastle was right There is NO Dr Pepper in Aussieland and if there is, I have yet to find it! I love me some Dr Pepper and I am very sad that it is not here. Sad sad day.

PS. I hate you for pointing this out Ms. Faslte.

Enough said

EIGHT MONTHS LEFT...

Good thing or bad thing?!?

Look It's free Willy

This morning I woke up early (6am) to get ready to go see some whales! What I didn't realize until I walked out of the house, was that it had been raining all night & into the morning. So I was wearing flip-flops & capris. I was very thankful that Craig & Karen had brought my jacket from home! We only saw 3 whales. :( One of them was far far far behind the boat & the other two were close to the front & right of the boat. They would just surface then dive back down. So I saw them blow the water out of there spout and then dive and splash their tails!

It was an amazing experience!

Super excited to see some whales!
It was either this boat or a sketchy raft looking one!

The water was really choppy which made the ride out kind of fun!

OMG! I almost looked away, cause while the lady was taking my picture, a whale popped up in front of the boat!

Port Maquarie

(PS Mom, That's the new hat I told you about! lol)
