Not much to report this week. I’ve been busy with the normal household jobs plus getting organised for our vacation. We leave tomorrow straight after school. We’ll be staying in my parents van down the coast at Gerroa. It’s only a 40min drive so very close to home.
So today I just wanted to share some recents layouts. The first one is Christy’s birthday, the other two are Easter layouts for the girls albums – trying to get them a bit more up-to-date. I am SOOOO enjoying my new photo printer.
I had a really great Sunday. We started off the morning with a family walk down to the lake. I was inspired by Gretchen’s putt putt layout and started to make when we got back. It’s the first time EVER I have scrapbooked photos taken on the same day. Annie you are right – it was so fun!!
Kevin was wanting to do something today. That was fine with me but it was too nice a day to spend indoors either shopping or going to the movies. I suggested we go to Kiama – a seaside town about 30mins away. Then I remembered it was market day so that’s what we did. We packed some lunch which we enjoyed sitting on the grass. The girls went on some rides and visited the petting zoo and we wandered through the stalls buying a few bits and pieces. I was rather pleased to be able to buy some more seedlings for the veggie garden. Such a good idea – you buy a punnet and can fill it with whatever seedlings you like. So much better than better 6 of one plant. It was such a beautiful day to spend outdoors. And funnily enough we realized we last went to the markets here in Sept last year. When we came home the girls had a swim, I planted my seedling and finished off the scrapbook page. We then watched Camp Rock. Kinda cute but I don’t think quite the league of High School Musical.
Aren’t those cupcakes the cutest? Almost too nice to eat. Lucky they tasted as good as they looked.
Isn’t this chook beautiful? I think I might get some of those next time.
When the forecast was for 24 degrees celsius today I told dh he should put the pool solar heating on as Spring was finally going to arrive. And it did with a vengence. It was hot. 27 degrees I think was the top. Last Sat was cold, wet and rainy, and one week later the kids were in the pool swimming.
The girls (and Kevin) also spent time lazing in the new hammocks that he bought. It was so nice seeing them reading books during the day.
I can’t believe my baby is 7 years old. She was born on 11th Sept, 2001 hence no-one ever forgets her birthday. She opened presents in the morning and got clothes, a disney princes board game set and her request, a Watch Me Grow Puppy – Golden Retriever of course… as if we need more dogs in this house.
She went off to school with a cake to share with her class.
After school she had ballet and we prepared a little party to have when she got back – all her favourite foods. Then she opened presents from my Aunties and from Nan & Pop (who joined us for her party). I think she enjoyed her special day. On Saturday she’s having a party with her friends.
I got this cute little cupcake idea from Five J’s.
