Chit Chat and a Layout

Well..the layout first...then the chit chat.

Thought I'd post this layout of Am. It centres around the story of the hair cutting (famous in our house). This darling child has a bad habit of giving herself a trim, and hiding the evidence. Something funny that we can now look back and have a hearty giggle about...complete with picture to prove it. That's what I love about this craft......a picture and a story!

In other not very exciting news:

• Paul and I had a movie marathon that lasted over 2 days where by as soon as we had kiddies asleep, we were glued to the four disk uncut series of UNDERBELLY! Wow!! I did not get to sleep before 1am for about 3-4 nights and I'm now like a zombie...suffering from the self induced lack of sleep. No sympathy...I know!
• Tyne has her second loose tooth!
• Ammy is due to start pre entry for kindy next term, so we are spending some time at kindy each week to get familiarised with the place....by the way...she loves it....and I don't so much!
• The count down is on .....only a few more games of footy till the end of Paul's season. While I love that he loves it, and it's social and all that.....I am looking forward to having him home on Saturdays....and perhaps doing some handyman stuff around here...(just in case you ever visit my blog Paul...hint...hint)
• Oh...this is exciting...my Mummy and her partner of 14 years are finally getting married...so lots to help out with.....can't wait...I have 3 very excited flower gals!!!
• And lastly...don't you love it when you help your kids out with homework and you find that you...yourself...actually learn something? That was me tonight....and I'm feeling smarter already...so ask me anything about The Great Wall of China...REALLY....anything. Somehow all the info has attached itself to some grey matter!

Well...that's me on a Thursday night. Over and Out!

Lily's 8th Birthday

Lily decided this year that she wanted her party at home and that it should have a spooky theme, hence all the scary faces and costumes. Paul finished the cubby house just in time...complete with a fire pole and flying fox. The flying fox is now in lock up due to a little accident (not at the party). It may soon be seen on the funny home vidoe show....look out for that!!

So in a nutshell....I became the mother of a six and eight year old during May.......and I'm still wondering when my girls got so grown up?

But ....that's life isin't it...we all get older! What I'd give to be eight again!

Birthday Installment 2

Well......as I say-often...better late than never ! Thought I'd share the girls birthday's from May this year.

Tyne had a pool party with all her school friends. Paul was acting life guard and had his work cut out ....keeping all the kiddies safe and with their heads above water.

Tyne had an absolutely fantastic day and is now a big 6 year old!

Where does the time go?

Its Been A While

Yep! It sure has been a while since I have blogged, so not too certain if I have posted this one. It was in the previous edition of SBM - and it is a page with me and my family...including the pets! A rare pic of us all together enjoying our new deck. Too often I'm behind the camera snapping away at them!

Oh ...guess what? I am actually scrapping at the moment and have nearly finished a lo...yippee!!!!

Will share it soon
