I LOVE WEDNESDAYS!!!!!

Wednesdays are my favourite day of the week, I get to just play. Amy couldn't make it today as she got called into work, but I had fun on my own. This is what my dining table looks like at the moment....



And I DON'T CARE!!!!! It was totally worth it.

YESTERDAY!

No post yesterday!!!! I was a bit upset, the internet wouldn't work no matter what I tried.
So here is yesterdays post.....
Today I thought I'd share the lovely gift I received from my darling husband for Valentines Day.
A Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens.
How lucky am I????

Tony got......
A Telsta T Hub!
Its a phone that does everything, its sort of like a mini computer.

Phoenix wanted to do something special for her Dad....... so today she did this.....



She stood up on the side of the pool and did a " stand up straight, big jump into the pool".
She did stand up last week but it was sort of crouched over and was very worried. This week she couldn't wait, she stood up straight and jumped in. Im soooo proud of her. Her confidence is just growing with every lesson.

HAPPY LOVE DAY EVERYONE!!!!

We have had a great day so far. Firstly I snuck some cute heart shaped chocolates into Maddii's and Lavender's lunch, hope they liked them. Got a kiss and "I love you" from Maddii, OMG I nearly fell over, so lovely to hear. Phoenix and I stopped in to Scrapworkz so she could wish them all a "Happy Love Day" and give, Leonie, Phil, Narelle,  Adriene, her buddy,  Blake and Brooklyn, a chocolate heart.
 We have been making flowers and painting hearts all day.
Popped on to check out some blogs I follow and found out that over at Cathy Z blog I had won  a course on organising your life, Simplify 101's "Its About Time". Its a 8 week course, that I desperately need to do. I'm so excited. What a great little gift to receive for LOVE DAY.
 I know everyone says that this day is too commercial but remember that it's not about what you get  its about taking the time to just stop and share the love. Don't forget to tell those close to you how much they mean to you and that you LOVE them.
                                                               Heart shaped chocolates!

                                               Hope everyone has a GREAT "LOVE DAY"!!!!

OUR "LOVE" DAY!

As Tony is away for the week, starting early tomorrow morning, we decided to celebrate "LOVE DAY", as Phoenix calls it, today. As usual I cleaned to get ready for the start of the week whilst Tony or "BUDDY" as Phoenix calls him, headed out to her favourite place, the park at Mundy's Mooring. Maddii hang out with friends and Lavender came home after lunch as she had spent the night with girlfriends at a friends house.
We all had a lovely dinner together, Pumpkin Risotto, BBQ, Chilli Prawn and Vegetables, and chatted.
Tony and I played with our new presents, we normally don't exchange gifts but this year was different, I'll share those tomorrow.
It was a great day,  a day to appreciate each other and remind each other that we are a family and love each other very much.
Phoenix and I snuck upstairs to take these quick shots. We are going to send them to Dad tomorrow.
"I"

"LOVE"

"YOU"
Happy Love Day to you all!

Had a great day, cleaned in the morning so that I could spend the afternoon joining in on a live web show over at The House Of 3. I have a good time and learnt heaps.

I got my first assignments results today and really happy with the them, module 2 here I come.
