Drying out

Well we are finally starting to dry out after all of the rain. Our dams are full now so we really don't need anymore anytime tooooo soon. Here is an example of just how much rain we had........ This photo was taken same time last year.
The boys all had a fantastic time in the rain though, Michael bought the boys skim boards so they could skim in all of the puddles (there were heaps everywhere). So I had a fantastic weekend too cause I couldn't do any washing and I had an empty house most of the week.

A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister and my mother-in-law. Big party day on Sunday - lunch at the in-laws and dinner at my sisters lots of good food and great company.

Love Always

123 Challenge Prize


Tristan recieved his 123 Challenge prize yesterday and is over the moon!! He is so proud that today he had to take his layout and his prize to school for show and tell. (even thought they don't do show and tell at the moment)

Poor Seth, tears and all, was most upset that he didn't get a special prize in the mail but Tristan was so good about it all he insisted Seth be in the photo. By the way the car Seth is holding was only given to him the day before. (how quick they forget)

Not much else to report but RAIN and more RAIN! Our backyard is flooded and it hasn't stopped rain since it went dark so I can only imagine what it looks like now. I hope there isn't anything on the shed floor that is not water proof!!!!

Love Always

Just for fun

I got this off Leisha's Blog. There are so many in here where it just bought back so many memories. Thanks Leisha!

Just for fun
You grew up in Australia in the 90's.
You made worms by squeezing your Vegemite or peanut butter crackers together.
The best parties always had fairy bread.
The Waugh twins. Go! Aussie! Go!
Super League almost ruining rugby league in Australia.
Getting the Easter Show guide from the paper and circling all the show bags you wanted.
You thought everyone in America carried a gun and you never wanted to go there because you were were scared you'd get shot.
Blinky Bill, Mr Squiggle and Gumby.
Doing research for school projects by going to the library or looking up an encyclopaedia rather than using the internet.
Brian Henderson and Richard Morecroft reading the news.
Paul Keating was some guy that ran the country and John Howard became the only PM you really ever knew because you were too young to care before that.
Waking up early everyday to watch Agro’s Cartoon Connection or Cheez TV.
Hey Hey It’s Saturday.
Everyone got the Coke bag at the Easter Show and it was only $10.
Birthday parties at McDonald's.
A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month. No returns!

Don’t push me, push a push pop!
Nobody made "not" jokes... NOT!!
Bathurst stopped being Holden vs. Ford and all those European cars came in until they came to their senses.
Who shot Mr Burns?
That's so funny, I forgot to laugh.
You decorated your room with glow-in-the-dark stickers.
Singing "a ram sam sam, a ram sam sam, guli guli guli guli guli, ram sam sam, a rafi, a rafi, guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam".
Seeing a small rack of DVDs in the video store and wondering if anyone ever rented them.
Dolly the sheep.
Getting up early to watch the Rage Top 50.
Friends when they were all actually just friends. Why didn't Phoebe and Joey get together?
Watching The Simpsons back when it was funny, every night on Channel 10.
Power Rangers becoming cooler than the Ninja Turtles, even though the Turtles will always be cooler.
Smell the cheese.
Vulcan, Tower, Flame... Australian Gladiators.

Going to see Titanic.
The winner is… Sydney.
Mighty Max and Polly Pocket. Max and Polly always got lost because they were so bloody small.
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

You had to get your photos developed.
Your family didn’t own a 4WD unless it was a real one like a Land Cruiser or Patrol. Range Rovers were tough and nobody thought BMW would make a 4WD, let alone Porsche.

Humpty Dumpty

What is the one song you do not want to hear at 2am in the morning coming from you 3 yr old who has only been sleeping in the top bunk for 1 week? Humpty Dumpty!!! That's right I woke up with the biggest fright, jumped up, ran into his room and the little toad was still asleep. Singing in his sleep. So I stayed in his room for a little while just to make sure but he didn't wake up until 7am.


123 Challenge. This is Tristan's entry for last month. He received a special mention cause he is the first ever child to enter and the girls were so impressed with his efforts. Seriously he did this all him self the only thing I did was write Aunty Donna. It was so good to have him sit down and scrapbook with me and when he was finished he said "I am going to win the competition." So cute he was so proud.

This is my effort for July. I didn't win anythingLook I can finally get my hair tied back!!! Yah Thanks for visiting

Love Always

Bunk Bed and Seth

This is the prize pack I won at the Scrapbook City retreat. LOTS of goodies for me. The Around the block prize was donated by Scrapbooking Down Under. They were so generous with heaps of prizes and special treats for us at the retreat.
This is Seth asleep in the top bunk. So far he has done two nights and one lunch sleep there. I was really nervous the first time he wanted to but there is rails the whole way around and he is so keen to be in the "big boy bed" that I couldn't say no. So beautiful everyone says it but they really do grow up so fast.

By the way Scrapbook City has already booked their next retreat for 25, 26 & 27 April 2008 so if anyone is interested just contact the store and make a deposit. I have a feeling this one will be a huge hit.

Love Always

A challenge for me

I got this off of Bec's Blog and I Quote

"Pay It Forward
Yesterday, I was visiting Janelle's blog and I was one of the luck three people to have left a comment on her blog for the Pay it Forward challenge. I have always loved Janelle's work and I am so excited that I will be receiving something that she has made. The Challenge goes something like this: "The first three people to join me by leaving a comment on my blog will receive a handmade gift from me. I have 365 days to make it and send. Hopefully it won't take me that long though. Then each of you three must also put this on your blog and get three people each to sign up. Then you make your three people a handmade gift". So hopefully there will be three bloggers out there that will want a handmade gift from me {fingers crossed :o) } All you have to do is put this fun challenge up on your blog and lets keep it going. So any takers? anyone......anyone.......anyone?
Happy Days!"

I hope Bec doesn't mind me cutting and pasteing her blog entry but I couldn't be bothered retyping it in my own words. So if there is anyone that is interested in recieving a hand made gift from me feel free to leave a comment.

Love Always
