Laurens Birthday and New Job

Hello again from us lot down here. This weeks blog entry sees Lauren starting her first job as Pizza Girl. She has started work for Dominos and according to the staff there she is doing very well. I dont know myself though as last Tuesday she served me and I managed to get a $5.50 pizza for $14.00 dollars. Hmmmmmm quite a bargain I think not. As it was only her 3rd night I just paid for it as the manager was looking over her shoulder!! Tonight she was not working but went with me to order some pizza for tea, we ended up with four pizza's and a bill of $27.00 again I felt a little distressed as I only wanted three pizza's and they should only have been $5.50 each. Now I'm no Steven Hawkins but even I can work out I got ripped again. I think she got better staff discounts before she became a member of staff.
Sunday was her 15th. birthday, Lauren said thank you to all of you that sent cards and gifts. She spent the day with friends on a shopping trip and a visit to the cinema before coming home for a barbi.
We spent Saturday with Ian, Becky and Megan on a park crawl. North lakes has more little kids parks than you can shake a stick at. Megan had a ball on all the swings and slides.

Walowa Street party

This weekend saw the official welcome to Walowa Street party for the Mackenzie's that started on Saturday evening with a Bar-b-q with our neighbours. The Mackenzie's were not on their best drinking form after a big night on Friday. That said Ian did have a go at a slab of XXXX but Becky retired to bed around 8.30pm with Megan, only for Megan to show up waving to us all from the balcony half an hour later while mummy slept on.
Saturday morning saw us heading up the Sunshine coast bright and early to one of our favourite beaches. After a dip in the lake and chip butty's all round we set off to kings beach for a short walk and an ice cream before heading home to north Lakes.
Loz and Will took an offer up from our neighbour Ray for a ride on the back of his Triumph motorbike when we got home. They said it was 'BRILL!'

At last!

Well after along time coming the McKenzie's have arrived in Australia. After 24 hours of traveling they came through the arrivals gate not too bright eyed but certainly cheerful. It seems bizarre that they are living just up the road now. It was lovely to see them all again and wish them all the best for their new life in Australia
