{I hate Public Transport

just hate it i tell you, im so sick and tired of catching the bus everywhere, its bad enough to have no car for two weeks, ( although im one very happy camper as this means its in the shop getting fixed YAY!!!!) but im still not impressed with the having to catch public transport everywhere, and when you live in a small town and the only bus to town goes via every man and his dogs front yard, it really starts to get on your nerves, the worst thing being ive had to go to town four times this week and its only Saturday, ive had to go for Blood tests and take Blake to the hospital, to see specialists about his hips, which in the Drs words look fine to him, but if you really think theres something wrong feel free to bring him back ???? what the??? what kind of diagnosis is that???? So hopefully everything is okay... Tomorrow we are going to the dam to have a picnic lunch, as its Pauls birthday (the big 3 0h) and he doesnt really want to celebrate so we are just having a quiet lunch at the Dam and going fishing YAY not but thats what he will want to do so i spose i can oblige him for one day and do what he wants to do LOL, im keen on trying to snavel some scrap stuff into the car and just letting him and the boys go out on the water, well see what happens.. Jack seems to be very out of sorts this week as last week was mothers day this week it Daddys Bday, next week its Blakeys Bday and when is it his turn he keeps telling me tomorrow is his Bday (everyday ) so im sure hes going to be a little disappointed when Blakes Bday comes next week and then there is nothing for him, but hell get over it, hes only just stopped telling us (about three or four weeks ago) that Santa will be coming tomorrow, ummm i think not he doesnt have that many toys sorry buddy ;( Well im off to make some sausage rolls and pasties for tomorrows lunch and to wrap presents before Paul gets homwe from work, Jack is busy painting the wrapping paper now, its sounds like hes making a big mess, id better go see

Til next time have a great weekend whatever you are doing...

ETA heres his little masterpiece, im sure daddy will be impressed

{Brats, the holidays can test your patience

Well ive had an extremely busy week with Drs, Nieces and just a little bit of excitement, more on that later.

We've had our nieces over, for three days this week, sleeping for two nights, they only went home yesterday and today im buggered, i really feel for you mothers out there that have several children, ive only got two but throw those cute little nieces in and it seems like a house full of wild bulls, running from 6am through till about 9pm where they drop to bed every night in a crumpled mess. Its really great for us to have them as Paul and his Sister dont speak, so its just awesome to spend time with them without there being an audience, weve done all the girly things like painted toes and briads in their hair, they really enjoy it too as Cindy is a single mother so it makes a nice change for them to see a whole family together, doing things the way they all seem like simple things to me, but to see their little faces when breakfast was made and we got to do the girly stuff, is just soooo worth every second of their yelling and fighting, that always accompanies the first day while they wind down a bit.
im really disappointed that i didnt take really any photos, i was to in the moment to stop and be a scrappy mum/aunty at the time and im really glad i did, it soooo takes away from the moment when someone stouts out for you to smile, cheese, or look this way.


I did get this photo of Jasmine after we'd been to the tatooist LOL $6 for a tatoo, so i though id get another pain free one this time and heres the proof (photo courtesy of Jasmine), Amber wasnt too keen on having a Tatoo, so she got her hair wrapped instead but it was really hard to get a picture of this as its from somewhere under her haed, not at the top where you can see it LOL so whats the point, hmmm...she got it and i had to pay for LOL ( it im sure
that was it.)

Been to the Drs twice this week just my luck the nurse was sick the first time so i had to go back the next day, its just such a waste of time driving in and out of town to get things done only to find the darn place closed , they could have rang and said she was sick.

Been really busy trying to scrap some LOs but getting stuck on things waiting for this order to come that has some really yummy letters in it i just NEED to use today, not next week LOL, another order gone AWOL, looks like the Aussie Post system is getting worse, i have just received back a letter that i sent to a lady in Sydney before Easter, just returned no reason, im sure i used the correct addy, but im off to check that out also this arvo and hopefully have it on its way to you this arvo, so sorry for the delay Susan, there will now be a RAK included in that too.

Well all these half finished LOs will have to wait til some time over the weekend when i get the urge to scrap, right now i just wanna hot bath and then off to bed, but i will have to try and stay up for the footy tonight as its an Australian game, and well ive gotta support those Aussies Boys Oi Oi Oi..

Til next time.. have a great weekend

{FINALLY

got something finished. I got so inspired by the photos i took at the beach last week that i just had to scrap them now, i love keeping up with scrapping although i still need to do chrissy ones yet but hey thats okay, ill get there eventually, thats the freedom of our art we get to do it whenever we want to and with whatever no order, needed and i love it

BEACH FUN

SURFER BOY

Had to use the main photo in a LO all of its own just about that special little 'Surfboard' its his pride and joy LOL.

Didnt really do much over the weekend just hanging at home and went for a little splash at the beach on Sunday arvo but nothing much else to tell.

Im off to read my copy of FK, that just got here Grrrr, how long dose it take to get from Sydney to here a month?? seems as though ive been seeing this cover for awhile at the shops but only today in my letterbox, its not fair, while the boys have a little sleep, god bless them a little bit tiring the old swimming routine and theyve both crashed on the way home.

Oh a little bit exciting Jack swam across the pool all the way (a whole 12.5 metres), hes done this a few weeks in a row now but today was the first time he remembered to lift his head and breath, he usually just keeps kicking and paddeling away til he reaches the other side but today he breathed, he remembered, few, its all starting to come together..

til next time..

(Photos at swimming )

{It Stopped

Raining and we got to go to the beach, YAY we went to Kingcliff for lunch and then took the "Surfboard" over to the beach and went for a "surf" didnt you know thats what three yr olds who can just swim do?? He always watching the older kids walking to the beach with their boards, can we go surfing mum, Pleeeease??
Surfing doesnt he know mum hasnt been on a Surf board for over 7 years now?? ive been tiold its like a bike and youll just get sraight back up but a bit chicken to try now with the post kidie bits and pieces IYKWIM?
maybe on day when they are old enough ill get back into it, maybe....
So heres some shots from our day Jack really lovesa the water as youll tell and Blake just isnt too sure about the whole thing, i dont think he likes all the sand on his hands or the water, or the waves, or really anything about the beach he just cried for about one and a half of the two hours we were there yippee, one who cant stand it and the other wont leave...hmmm


Really need to learn about all of this Digi stuff its really got me stumped... i just love playing with the bits and pieces and mixing and playing a bit more, not keen on all these layers and loosing my background into the computer somewhere and then not being able to find my text, argh... not happy Jan

Just got home from Swimming and the boys went really well, we got flooded with a tribe of school kids from the local school just as we left and then Jack didnt want to leave just wanted to hang out with the big kids.

Til next time...
