THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA?

Fairly normal day today. Inspection was passed, yeah!!!! Three months till the next one.  Last night as just the girls, Tony back tomorrow. Even though we have missed him its been great for us girls to hang out together.
Missing the girls at Scrapworkz tonight, hope they are having a great time. I'll be back next week.
Whilst I was cooking dinner Phoenix yelled out "look Mum". This is what I saw....

A scene from The Princess and The Pea. Its a hard life isn't it??? LOL

JUST ME!!!

Today was a day just for me, its been sooo long since I've had one of those! After the usual drop offs I came home and did a quick half hour clean up and started me time. Went up to  Linc-n-Learn to sign up for this term but didnt find anything I was interested in so I have decided to make Wednesdays, "ME" day, 6 hours to just play.
I spent the first few hours going through my notes on module one of a course I'm doing and doing a rough copy of my first assignment.
The next couple of hours was spent playing with my alcohol inks and misting. I had a ball.

Here is a sneak peak at a little of what I've been doing. Still got a couple of things to do on it and I'm all finished.

Around school pick up time I started to feel very sick, did the pick up and came home to rest. Both Maddii and Lavender were a bit concerned about me so that knuckled down and helped me out. It was great to see them work together when they need to. (Tony is still away).

So happy that The Biggest Loser is back on TV. 

Love watching it, it gets me motivated, although it hasn't happen yet, still not feeling well. I think I'll start on Monday, hopefully I'll be better then.

ALL GONE!!

Today was an extremely busy day. Tony left for 4 days in Adelaide, he is off to do a course for work. Maddii had school and then worked from 4-7. Phoenix had swimming lessons and then the afternoon session at kindy.

Swimming lessons.

Off to Kindy.

It was an especially big day for Lavender, ...... her first day of high school and her first day at St Josephs!!!

She had a great day which was a relief for me. All her friends are in the same class and said that heaps of people came up to her and asked how her day was going. After school we picked up her Mac book so she is over the moon tonight.

Today was the first time in over 8 weeks that I have had a house without any kids, even if it was for only a couple of hours. I spent it cleaning the bathroom and the floors. I worked like a dog today so that tomorrow I could have the WHOLE, yes whole day for me. Can't wait!!!

1 DOWN, 2 TO GO!!!

Thought I'd start by showing you a page I finally completed. It was for a challenge that was due in at the end of December. Needless to say I didnt finish it due to Christmas commitments. Its page of photos of the gingerbread house display at the Cummins Christmas Wonderland. Well here it is. Hope you like it.

Back to school for Maddii today. It was another scorcher so it was just a half day, better than nothing.

As you can see she was pissed that I wanted to take her photo. I had to chase her around the house to get it.

Tomorrow Lavender has her first day of high school at St Josephs, she is really excited. Phoenix is buzzing too, her first day back at Kindy and swimming lessons start again, she can't wait to show her swimming teacher that she can put her whole head under the water now without being scared.
Lavender got a lovely surprise today.

She won a great pair of swimmer worth over $100. She loves entering competitions. Well done Lou!!!

With all the heat today we had a little visitor, I think he was trying to cool down before he melted.

I'M MELTING, I'M MELTING!!!!!

Its been a scorcher here today, 44 degrees. Needless to say, Phoenix and I  spent the day inside under the air con. Maddii was off with friends, Lavender was at at friends house and Tony went fishing with Phil.
Phoenix has become addicted to Tattered Angels, she loves the bottles and keeps telling me that she is nearly old enough to use them. She spent ages playing with the bottles, getting me to mist papers and arranging the bottles in to cool displays. She even wanted me to take photos of her displays.

It rare for her to want me to take photos, so I took advantage of the moment and took photos that included her. After about 30 photos she turned to me, and in a frustrated voice said "Mum, for God sake". I cracked up, I don't know where she got this saying from but I knew straight away what it meant,  " Mum stop with the photos already".

We did lots of crafting and then settled down to an afternoon of her favourite videos, POKO. She just cracks up when she watches them. It is such a wonderful sound to hear her laugh uncontrollably.

Tony arrived home just after 5pm with his half of the catch.

Yummy fish for dinner!!!!

TANGLED!!!!!

Today was movie day. This morning Lavender, Phoenix, Leonie, Brooklyn, Blake and myself all went to see the Disney movie "Tangled". I had been promising Phoenix all holidays so we finally went. I have to say that it was brilliant, probably the best one I have seen in ages, apart from the Toy Story movies, of course.

Tonight, Leonie, Brooklyn, Maddii and myself went to see " Little Fockers". I loved the two previous movies and was really looking forward to it. It was a BIG let down. I wont be adding that one to my DVD collection.

In between movies I have been playing with scrap goodies, having a scrap day tomorrow can't wait!!!

A CRAZY DAY!!!

Today has been a crazy day with work, house keeping and final prep for school.
After dinner I went up stairs to see this site......

OMG!!!!!!

Has the world stopped or come to an end?

My 3 girls were in the same room doing something together!!!! I couldn't believe it. I had to take this photo as a lasting memory.

After that moment all of us girls went a little crazy, running around doing stupid things, and me with my camera trying to take photos. This is the usual shot I get of Maddii these days.....

Her hiding behind her door.

It was so nice to just have fun and be silly with my girls.
