2 new movies

After not having been to the movies for a while, it was strange to visit the cinemas twice in a matter of days – and not even to see a kids movie!  As a bonus I got to spend time with the Girls, eat out at two delicious resturants and have a couple of great nights out.    [...]

Ootball!!!

After two years of watching football, and all year calling out ootball at the TV we finally took Owen to the Broncos today. Owen was suprisingly well behaved all afternoon and had a ball, pun intended. The highlight of the day for him was the two Broncos mascots running around the ground. We all had [...]

A busy weekend

After not going to the movies for several months, we’ve now gone twice in 7 days! Yesterday we ventured out to see Pirates 3 at Chermside. I really wanted to see this one at a good cinema as I didn’t expect much other than special effects. There certainly was an overload of special effects, but [...]

Movie magic

Saturday saw us take Owen to the movies for the very first time ever!  The ‘Us’ consisted of Marc, me, Jodie, Mick and Mum – the more the merrier when a toddler to keep amused is part of the equation :)  We decided to take him to the Balmoral – somewhere fairly low key – [...]

There’s a bear in there

and a chair as well. There are people with games, and stories to tell. Open wide, come inside, it’s… Play School In Concert!  Again, along with a whole bunch of crazy toddler parents and their kids (this is scarily becoming a common thread to my entries!), we took the kids along to the Play School [...]

A trip to the circus

Last night Marc, Owen, Nana and I all went to see Lennon Bros Circus while they are in Brisbane for just 2 short weeks.  We spoilt ourselves at bought front row tickets, so Owen could get the most out of his very first circus (and so us adults would be close to all the action!).    Owen [...]

Wiggles!

Today I took Owen over to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre to see The Wiggles. It was an awesome concert! Owen bounced between excited and dancing, to holding on to Mum for dear life. For those of you not up to date with the latest from The Wiggles, Greg (the yellow Wiggle) has had to retire [...]

A trip to the circus

After purchasing our tickets nearly twelve months ago, last night Marc and I finally got to see the circus! But no ordinary circus – it was the Varekai production from Cirque Du Soleil. It was amazing! If you happen to be in a city where they are performing, I strongly urge you to fork over [...]

The Family Stone

After much deliberation and many “I don’t mind what movie we see” comments, Jode and I went and saw The Family Stone last night at the Southbank cinemas. It was a wonderful story and movie! I’m not too embarrassed to say I cried and laughed quite a bit throughout the story. The Stone family are [...]

Sin City

For those of you haven’t seen the Sin City movie and would like to, please don’t read the following. We hired Sin CIty on Friday night to watch at Nic and Shane’s. All the reviews had been that it was a great movie, unfortunately they were wrong. The effects and style were extremely well done [...]
