HELLO.........

Hello hello......I am here finally with lots to tell you.
I am so excited to be starting this tomorrow...


You know it seems like I don't have enough time to do what I have to do, but I was really interested when I saw this. It looks fantastic & I am hoping that it will help me get organised & not miss all those stories that need to be told.
On the home front, we have been really really busy & of course the first thing out the window is my blog & my scrapping, which I know really shouldn't happen, but my family is a priority!!! We have been doing lots of fun relaxing things & as Ant is on holidays time to just chill. The last couple of days we have been putting crab pots down & guess what?? we got some!! I looove them but the girls had their first try & didn't like it at all (except Liv of course). They prefer expensive prawns & bugs. That's ok they love fresh fish & the whole concept of going canoeing with Daddy & putting them down. I love that they love the simple things in life. It is getting warmer up here & so of course all they want to do is get in the pool. Here is some shots as it is warming up.





Lots has been happening in the last days that I can't even remember what has happened. Had a baby shower for our gorgeous friends Nat & Ric & since I didn't post on that they up & had her. Her name is Hannah Grace & she is gorgeous (Nath this photos is for you & Kaz). This beautiful little girl was 3 1/2 years in the waiting. Nat did awesome & we have another girl in the mix. Woohoo.


Also this week Georgia had careers day at school. It was a big decision, as she wanted to be a Doctor by day (a baby one of course) & Ballerina by night. Such a crackup!!! I love that they believe they can do anything at this age & maybe if we keep encouraging them they might just do it. She had a great day. It was also World Teachers Day & we did a little special thing for her teacher. I wanted her to concentrate on something positive rather than Halloween. It still amazes me that people get so into now in Australia. (Anyway I won't go into here but needless to say I have quite strong opinions on it.) We got a photo & used our trusty circle punch, took a photo & made it the centre of a flower, then popped it on a pop stick & put it in a beautiful potted climbing rose......Georgia then wrote her a letter & said "thanks for helping me Grow>>" It was sooo cute. (Thanks to this girl who is totally full of good ideas) it went off beautifully & Mrs Glass said it made her day. Will have to get a photo of the two of them. For a scrapper I am totally hopeless at taking my camera everywhere!!! I need one of those little ones I can carry in my bag!!!




Then I had the little ones hair cut. They were so gorgeous & sat so still. It was Liv's 1st haircut & Lucias 2nd. I have never seen Liv so quiet or still!!




So that is me for the moment, be back soon with some more updates & some things I have been working on. Take care, have a great weekend. Love Me xx

You're a busy girl! The gift for the teacher sounds lovely - so thoughtful. I totally agree with what you said about the simple things, we really need to encourage kids to enjoy life rather than stuff. Keep up the good work!
