School Holidays

Well it is Saturday night and Michael and the boys have just got home from watching the Transformers Movie at the cinema and they are all very excited so I have retreated to the computer because I can not get a normal word out of them.





Can you believe it is school holidays and I have NO CAR. I put it in on Monday for an insurance approval (just some old body work) and they rang me and said do you mind if we start it now I OK'ed it thinking it would be a couple of days but I am not getting it back until next wednesday!!! Lucky everyone has been willing to come and visit us or come and pick us up.





Tomorrow, middle of the school holidays and a Sunday at that and I have a P&C meeting. Then on Monday I have a Fundraising meeting I thought on school holidays I wouldn't have to worry about any of this stuff, like I have a life anyway?!? LOL





Today I went to a "Scrapbook wholesalers closing down sale" (they have been closing down for about 6 months now) I got heaps of albums!! 8x8 $4 and 12x12 $7 and $10 nice albums too not just plain vinal ones. So now I have no excuse but to put all of my finished pages into their albums. PMSL like that will ever happen.

I leave you with this beautiful photo of my boys. Tristan grabbed Seth the other day and said mum quick take a photo of us. Poor Seth had no choise in the matter. Just love them to bits!!!

Love Always

P.S. The count down is on until the Scrapbook City Retreat only 4 weeks to go. Very excited!!!

My week in review

Monday :- School drop off for Tristan then daycare for Sethy, in tears not wanting to go. By the time I got home did some housework it was time to go the fundraising meeting which really wasn't a hassle cause we had lunch and then the meeting.

Tuesday :- Michael made so much noise getting ready for work and packing the truck for the week away (I don't know why he cant do it the day before) that I couldn't get back to sleep so I don't know how I managed to be late for school again. Big day of Housework!! lots done, feels really good to have a big clean day. Then Tristan's last day of Aus Kick AFL training after 7weeks I finally remembered to take my camera. That's him in the #10 jersey. Home for dinner then dropped the boys off at Nan and Pop's so I could go to the P&C meeting at the school. Full on meeting looks like we have to close the Tuckshop cause it is losing money big time??????

Wednesday :- We all slept in it was fabulous!! Really crappy day though cold and overcast. Tristan lost the plot and cried his little eyes out in protest of going to school cause all of the kids are mean to him. So I didn't have the heart to argue with him and let him stay at home. Tristan and Seth had an absolutely beautiful day playing together. I wish they played that well all of the time.

My beautiful friend Emica came over and we had a lovely catch up. So good to see her. Funny how you live 10mins away but you get to busy to see each other with different timetables. I will have to make sure that there isn't such a big gap next time.

Thursday :- Bribed Tristan to go to school today without tears with the promise of Tuckshop (had better get the use out of it before it is gone). Seth and I had a lazy day then we had to do our special "Picture Plates Fundraiser" at Tristan's school, they should turn out great!! Tristan had a huge blue with one of his mates I can see why he was so upset on Wednesday now.

Friday :- End of semester party for the Prep's today the had a huge blow up bouncy twister mat game for the kids to play on, lots of food and heaps of other things to do. Set had a great time playing in the sand pit for most of the morning but again Tristan had lots of arguments with his "Friends".......... I don't know what to do??!! So I took him home with me at 10.30am when the morning tea was finished cause I didn't want to think what fights he would get into with out me there to break them up. I was meeting my cousin and her 2 boys for a bike ride so I thought he would like that would be fun for us all to do and I know Tristan loves riding his bike. So after our bike ride/walk, just to top my week off my darling boys locked my keys in the car. I was very lucky my cousin hadn't left yet and she waited with me until RACQ got there to unlock my car.

This photo was taken at the end of a very long week...... doesn't it just make your heart melt. My little "Wags the dog" Seth all showered and ready for bed now I just need to get him into bed. ARRRRRRR. BED TIME!!!!! Love Always

Paper craft was fun.

After a big weekend and a busy week and a late night, I some how managed to wake at 6am this morning wide awake enough that I had to get up. I tried to go back to sleep but I could hear the garbage trucks driving around and I just couldn't switch my darn brain off.

The Paper Craft Show was excellent I had a lovely day with Gigi, Such a beautiful person inside and out!! I got to meet the beautiful NGAIRE BARTLAM and I did her class which was very relaxed and heaps of fun. Thanks to Gigi for the photo can you believe I forgot my camera??

I also got to meet a few of the ladies that I chat to online thought the Scrapbook City Website. A big hello to Loulou and Gayle and it was lovely to meet my fellow "Twin Peaks addict" Angela, looking forward to catching up at the Scrap Retreat next month.

So after a lovely relaxing day I came home to an absolute pig sty my kitchen looked like someone (SETH) had just stood at one corner and thrown Milo all over the floor and there was just stuff everywhere it took me until 10pm to clean up. Not happy!

Tristan had his first ever School Sports day on Thursday. They all did so good and it was heaps of fun for them all. I again forgot my camera (I don't know where my memory is lately) so I have to get some photos off the other mums and I will post them later.

Today we are off to the NAMBOUR SHOW so excited for the kids they are going to love it.

Better get ready. Love Always

Brisbane Paper Craft Fair

I cant wait until tomorrow..........The Paper Craft show in Brisbane where I am doing a class with the wonderful NGAIRE BARTLAM so looking forward to it. Plus I will get to catch up with this beautiful lady, Gigi. And hopefully get to meet some of the ladies from the Scrapbook City Shop that I have been talking to online for ages now but never meet face to face. Very Exciting!!!!

This is a layout Gigi did, of her son Mackinley and my son Tristan when we meet for the first time. The boys got along immediately and they had a great time keeping me and Gigi on our toes for the day.

Well I had better make sure I have got everything packed for the class.

Love Always

Rain

Well it so good to finally get some decent rain but now I have to put up with hubby hanging around the house for the next couple days being bored. He does not entertain himself well and is lost without work. I guess the T.V. will be getting a good workout.

Love Always
