Busy Weekend

I dropped my parents off, Saturday morning for their P&O Pacific Star holiday around the Tropical Islands. They were so excited, it was so cute, this is their first holiday where they have needed passports.
After dropping them off we went for a drive over to Scrapbook City to check out their "Garage Sale" Picked up a few goodies. We also went for a drive up Mt Cootha the boys kept running away for me so we didn't stay long they had been in the car for too long so we headed to my cousins for a Tupperware / BBQ. It was lovely the kids were free to run around the back yard with the Dads and us Mums sat inside enjoying a Cocktail while we watched the Tupperware demonstration. So after setting off at 8.30am we finally arrived home at about 9.30pm.
Monday morning I had the Carpet cleaner and pest control rock up at 7.30am WAY...WAY....too early. Michael was home cause the weather was too crappy for him to work so he dropped both of the boys off at school it was fantastic!! now he cant ever say he doesn't know where to go. After the cleaning guys finally left I had to go to a fundraising meeting for the school. Then I went up to a cute little salon at the back of Nambour called "Studio 4560" Where my good friend Hayley Braggs, Super Hairdresser !!! was training an apprentice and I daringly allowed her to do what ever she wanted. This is the end result. I LOVE IT!! Hayley actually straightened it with a little flick on the end which looked really cute but I ran out of time this morning and luckily it just sat right with a clip in the side and a little hair product to defrizz. Michael HATES it he likes my hair long but I am really happy and think I will keep it like this for a while.

The Secret is out

I am no longer an intruder (OHHHHH AHHHHH) in the Scrapbook City Reality Scraps Competition. I am now an OTHER. Which means I can openly compete and earn points towards my loyalty membership. Who knows what other tricks Sara and Alicia have up their sleeves for the rest of the competition.

Sethy freaked us out today "he has a double jointed thumb", he was laughing as he was walking towards us with his thumb touching his wrist. I thought he had broken it and the pain hadn't kick in yet but he showed us over and over again. It looks so cool I will definitely have to get a photo of in case he grows out of it.

I went to the movies today to see the Illusionist. It was a really nice movie, a little bit slow but an interesting movie with very good actors.

Love Always

Names Database

My sister just sent me the link for this cool site. You can contact people you went to school with and you will be surprised at how many people are actually registered. NAMES DATABASE so go and have a look for your self, it doesn't cost anything to have your details there and if you want to contact someone it only costs $12US to join for a year. I have already contacted someone and exchanged two emails and I only joined last night. GREAT IDEA!!!!

The Paper Craft Festival is on in Brisbane this weekend and I so desperately want to go but I dont know if I am going to be able to. But I will definately try.

The Circle Journal I am doing through Scrapbook City should be finishing up this week so if you need more time just let me know through an email (due to the site being shut down). tanyareedy@optusnet.com.au

This is my last couple of layouts for the Reality challenge ( I know I am not in the comp anymore but I am having so much fun with the challenges)

Baby Teeth

I thought I had a really good idea yesterday. I took down the baby swing that came with our Hills swing set, Seth is getting too big for it now, and put on the bar with the rings on the bottom cause he loves swinging off the rack that is on the back of Daddy's Rodeo (which he is not allowed to do cause it is too dangerous. LOL)........ WELL swing OFF he did..... straight into the ground, he smashed his mouth and pushed in two teeth. There was blood everywhere!! Michael was freaking out, he always stresses so much when one of the boys hurt themselves. Seth always seems to hurt his mouth. But once it stopped bleeding and the panadol had kicked in he was like nothing had happened and couldn't wait to get back out and play again. So funny how quick they bounce back. We visited the dentist this morning and he said they seem to be ok and should stabilise after a couple of days but might still go black. That will be a good look.

Some funny news......... I went into my little scrap shop at Palmwoods yesterday cause they had a big sale on. After looking at all of the stuff on the sale table I jokingly said to the other girls there that my hubby will be getting a bad feeling right about now cause of all of the money I was about to spend......... While I was standing at the counter waiting to pay Michael rang to see if everything was OK cause he had a really bad feeling. PMSL It was so hard not to laugh while I reassured him everything was ok and the boys were at school and daycare and I hadn't heard anything to say otherwise. The girls were totally blown away when I told them and it scared me a bit too.

hopefully the rest of the week will be uneventful so until further news

Love Always
