A Day in my Life – 14th September, 2012

 

Managed to sleep in till 6am this morning.

Christy was up early and sent Kevin off to walk with a cuddle (Amy was already in the car).

I showered and got dressed while Christy made french toast for her breakfast.

I had half a bagel with spreadable cheese & tomato.

After Christy left for school on her bike…

I hung the washing I had put on earlier…

Then headed out for a walk with the dogs. My arthritis has been acting up this week but I felt better today.

After so many walks last week I have only managed 2 this week :-(.

Not a cloud in the sky today.

I dropped the pups in at Mum’s, had a chat and then set off in the car.

First stop was Gloria Jeans for a skim iced chocolate. Not having too many these days so it’s a treat when I have one (even without the cream).

Then to K-mart where I got some storage baskets and a few other organisational goodies.

Then to my beauticians for a very delightful facial. Bliss….. Oh, and I’ve got eyebrows again :-).

Back on the road home.

With a stop to pick up Subway for lunch.

And to check out this gift store (that I don’t get to visit very often now I have a new hairdressers).

Back home I found the path to the driveway blocked as Nan & Pop were busy grooming our shrubs.

I collected the dogs and sat outside to enjoy my lunch.

The dogs did a bit of sunbaking.

Then I actually headed into the scrapbook room and worked on last years December album. Thought it might be a good idea to get it finished before this December.

The dogs had a nap.

At 3pm I headed out to pick Amy up from the bus stop. On the way back we passed Christy and collected her school bag.

The afternoon was spent with my laptop. Christy and Amy made some wreath things Christy had learnt at school.

IMG_4163.JPG

The girls had dinner at Nan & Pops (being Friday night) so I had a nice bath (arthritis starting to act up again), before making an easy dinner – quorn honey soy stirfry.

IMG_4165.JPG

While it was cooking I made some overnight oats for Kevin & I to have tomorrow.

IMG_4166.JPG

Then time to have dinner while watching Breaking Bad.

We went to bad about 10pm (late for us) and I read a little of one of the anti-inflammatory books I bought this week.

The birthday girl

 

Earlier this week Christy celebrated her 11th birthday… starting with presents in bed. The penny board was her main present.

She requested pancakes for breakfast….

before heading off to school with cupcakes to share with her class.

Then for after school I prepared a surprise afternoon tea.

She was so excited when she saw the table and decorations.

Granny joined us and is looking so amazing.

IMG_4124.JPG

Can’t believe I gave birth to this little princess 11 years ago.

IMG_4125.JPG

Of course, no birthday is complete with a birthday cake….

IMG_4127.jpg

and more presents to open…

The birthday girl requested nachos for dinner, enjoyed while watching Tarzan. She had a great birthday and wished it wasn’t over.
