GC 600 Weekend

Yes, well after many years of the kids asking, begging to go to the GC 600 we gave in and we went on Sunday.
We were um ing and arr ing on to drive or bus it. We drove and to our surprise we found many parking spaces in Tedder ave (extremely close to the track, if you know the gold coast area). So we slapped on the sun screen and headed in. General admission tickets $80 each us and kids under 12 are FREE. Our 14 yr old daughter still looks like a 12 yr old so we snagged that.
My hubby insisted we walk around the track first before we found a spot to sit for the day. So we did just that and my middle child came up to me and said he had tears in his eyes with such excitement. Ohhhhh Love him xxx
We brought the boys a GC 600 cap and found our spot.
Best part was people watching.

Gotta love this chic, she had no teeth and was thinking she looked like a promo girl. i watched her for hours. Her and her man were having so much fun.

The entertainment was Vanessa Amorosi but as we couldnt see her though she sounded great. Then these motorbike freaks came onto the track. They were unbelievable.

Our shady spot

what a great job. Water Police

 The overall day was fantastic, even the food was great and no line ups. We spent $100 on food/drinks and we were back home within half hr of the finish time.

Of course walking back to the car i am checking our house colours. 

 It is my birthday tomorrow. I wonder if i wake up to a present, as normally they all go shopping the afternoon of my birthday. I will let you know.

Enjoy your day

Decisions, Decisions.....

Now i am getting confused...
This is a major decision and i so don't want to make the wrong one.
I keep going back to white with white stone features . Maybe just to be safe i guess.
Here are a few pics i keep looking at.

This is my house, but i don't want this new paneling that is in the drawing

I like these colours but not sure where to place them

and i also like just the dark brown with the white and slightly lighter timber roller door and front door (i would go a bit deeper than the roller door colour that is in this pic though)

But this is my favorite. i love whatever is around the roller door. So this could be it, Your opinions PLEASE

 Do i need to go to my builder and get the people that did the 3D images of the plans to do some up in colour. IS THIS POSSIBLE. (as i don't want to start annoying my builder already)

We are also having a rendered fence out the front with an electric gate.

God, i don't know how i am going to get through this build and it hasn't even started yet! So thought i knew what i wanted but as you can see, i have NO idea.....

I will love any of your thoughts.

Cheers
Penny :)

3D Image

OMG OMG OMG.

Not sure what i think yet! Not sure if i even like it!

I will need loads of help from all of you out there, and i will love any suggestions. PLEASE.
The land should be registered on  Monday 10th October, then plans can go to council (just waiting on the plans including the pool and front fence and we will submit them together)
Not sure if this is the norm, but they say it can be 4 weeks minimum for approval.

So sometime in November the building will start.

That paneling wont be happening, don't like that!

This is my pic, i hope i can have something like this!

Till my next blog,
                         Be Good

Letter for u

I just had to share this.

School went back for us today and this is what came home with our youngest son, James. He is 9 in December and is in Grade 3.
He asked if he could check the mail box when he got home and i said "sure", then he came inside and gave me a letter addressed to Mr & Mrs Barns etc...

This is a keeper.

 

 

 

 Happy end of day for me,
                                         off to cook lasagne for the family's dinner tonight.
