Went down to beach again yesterday morning – and this time Kevin came with us. The girls had fun, we all had a swim and Christy got dumped while SITTING on the sand playing – I still can’t believe how much sand she had in her hair.

Australia Day
We had a VERY quiet Australia Day this year. Usually we do lunch with Mum & Dad but they are off in their caravan to attend a wedding. Instead I went to the gym, did the groceries, tidied my desk,
did some work for my BPS organising class with Wendy and did a layout for the class
took my photo of the day – CHOCOLATE! Actually didn’t think I had much in the house until I went searching…
Kevin added an extension to our chook mansion before going into work. They now have a nesting box and some of the chooks have already used it (so Kevin is feeling pretty pleased with himself), and the girls will now be able to collect the eggs.
Amy decided she wanted to learn to iron so she had her first lessons. She did great, ironing all her and Christy’s clothes.
Our only bit of celebration happened at dinner when we had a BBQ with damper and lamingtons.
So a lazy but rather satisfying day. We ended the day watching The Three Musketeers – but somehow we just ended up watching the second half – suprisingly it still make sense and we didn’t realize until the credits started rolling after just 45mins :-). We then watched the first half of Harry Potter VI and will finish watching tomorrow night.
A photo a day
Another challenge that seems to be doing the rounds in scrapbooking circles is that of taking a photo a day for a whole year. I decided to join in about a week ago when I came across 365 days http://scrappingangelsuk.typepad.com/365_days/ where Anna giveesa daily prompt for a photo. Here’s my collection so far.
Day 24 – Lucky (this is where I get to go for my morning walk)
Day 23 – Close up (my old Goldie Belle)
Day 22 – There’s no place like home
Day 21 – Food is an important part of a balanced diet (our organic groceries that had just been delivered)
Day 20 – Smile
Day 19 – Up close and personal
I might try and go back and do some of the older prompts – will see how I go.

Rested, relaxed and back to reality
We arrived back from a very relaxing week in Nelson’s Bay yesterday afternoon. We spent time on the beach, swimming in the pool, going on a dolphin cruise, eating out for lunch a couple of times, shopping, reading, playing games and enjoying time together. We really didn’t seem to do a lot but the days went by very fast. Nearly every morning Amy and I would go for a walk along the water front, stopping to buy fresh rolls from Bakers Delight. The girls and I went for a few bike rides as well and it was nice to be out DOING things. We had a couple of sunny days and a couple overcast/drizzly but it didn’t worry us. The girls were pretty well behaved and I think everyone had a nice time – I know I did!!
