Having friends over
I’m an only child and most of my childhood memories involve my friends. I always had friends over – sometimes they even came on vacation with us. Even though I have 2 children I love it when their friends over – makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that their friends like to be here so much. We had Amy’s friend on Friday afternoon, the neighbours on Sat and family friends today – one of them staying for a sleep over tonight. I also love when my kids play together and I just hope when they are grown they have such wonderful memories of their childhood as I do. I don’t feel like I’m the best Mum in the world but I really do try and I think I do a pretty good job of being a fun Mum (though I’m sure they disagree when I’m making them tidy up the mess they’ve made).
Overdue update
Okay, it’s been a week but really haven’t had much exciting to report. Last weekend was pretty quiet. On Sat. Amy had singing and drama and Christy had a friend over – they had fun making cookies and even ventured into the pool for a quick dip
.
On Sunday I went to help Amy tidy her room, then decided to move her furniture around a bit, then the girls decided they wanted to swap bedrooms. So that’s what we spent Sunday doing – though Christy had a bowling party to attend to and we grabbed some lunch out when we picked her up and did a bit of shopping at Target and Howard Storage. Amy’s room is very empty while we organise a desk for her but here’s Christy’s new room :
Pretty much an uneventful week – I went to the Chiro, P& C Meeting, Dentist with the girls (and again for a filling), the beauticians, the gym, groceries, etc, etc. Didn’t get much scrapping done this week but here are a few layouts I did manage. Still waiting for my Stampin’ Up stuff to arrive – hope it come Monday.
Yes, that is me and Kevin way back in 1985 – I think it was my 14th Birthday.
Yesterday I went to watch Amy play soccer for school sport – was pretty funny – most of the girls are too scared to kick the ball if another girl is right in front of them – pretty sweet really.
Okay, now that you’re all up to date on my very unexciting life, I need to go finish up the bedroom which I am deep cleaning this week. Then I hope to do some scrapbooking, then the highlight of the week……………… High School Musical 2!!!!!!
My Baby is 6
Christy celebrated her 6th bithday on Sept 11. And frankly I don’t know where the time has gone. It’s pretty scary actually. In another 6 years I’ll have 2 teenage daughters. What fun that will be!!! Okay, I’ll be positive…what a challenge that will be :-).
She opened her presents in the morning and was very excited to get the Baby Alive doll that she asked for – it can drink and wee. She took a cake in to share with her class and then after swimming lessons we went out to Chili’s for dinner. Wasn’t the greatest night as we were all a bit tired but it still made her birthday a bit special – and her doll got to sit in it’s own highchair.
