Time for another seasonal update. Spring was rather uneventful – in a good way. Lots of time at home, balanced with plenty of fun times out.
I travelled to….
Sydney…. to climb the harbour bridge
and Bowral for the tulip festival
I listened to….
the new Bruce Springsteen album – The Promise ,the kids arguing over silly little things and scrapbook podcasts.
I read….
Eyewitness Travel – Alaska and a run of not-so-great romance novels
I watched….
the latest Harry Potter (Gold Class), the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Despicable Me at the movies. At home we watched a few series including The Mentalist, Lie to Me, final season of The Tudors, and Modern Family. When Kevin was in the States Amy and I watched all 3 Twilight movies.
We took the girls to see the musical Fame up in Sydney.
I wore…
my new camera bag, Crocs most days, and make-up whenever I left the house (trying to make a bit more of an effort with my appearance),
I scrapped….
the whole of our UK trip – consisting of 3 albums. Also got quiet a few pages done for other albums. I completed LOAD (layout a day) in October and attended a scrapbook afternoon and a weekend away.
I made….
coconut date balls (yummy and healthy!!), eton mess with mango (for friends), and banana muffins.
I planned…
the vegetable garden (and got all the seedlings planted), our Alaskan flights and worked on plans for our motorhome portion of our trip.
I celebrated…
Christy’s 9th Birthday, Fathers Day, Amy finishing her 2 years in the Academically gifted class, and Halloween with our annual Halloween Party.
I dreamed….
of Christmas and of finally getting some warm sunny days
Odd and sods…
I had to get a new passport due to water damage (and I’d just gotten a new one last year)
The girls started attending roller skating lessons again
I enjoyed 2 weeks school holidays at home with the girls
Amy got glasses for reading
Basketball season started
The girls had their school fun day
We went on a few family bikes rides
And we put up the Christmas tree and started decorating the house.
Cool! I’m literally blogging my Autumn update right now, quite a busy season so it’s taking me awhile – hopefully up tomorrow! Looks like you had a lovely Spring and how cool that your girls take roller skating lessons – that’s awesome!!

Have you ever had a cold one? do you ever plan to? i would love to read about a proper auzzie xmas day surely everyone cant have a bbq on the beach lol xx
Hi Libby, well you’ve been busy! Would you be able to tell us the scrapbooking podcasts you listen to? I used to scrap quite a bit, but haven’t done any for about 2 years – quite a bit to catch up on and some inspiration is required!
Wow you sure were busy for an ‘uneventful’ season. I love this catch up blog.
Great catchup. And wow, you must have been busy to complete 3 whole albums on your UK trip! I’m still only half way through an album for a trip from Aug 09! :/
OH MY – what a wonderful Spring indeed!
