Quick Bits

~ Caitlin received her school report on Friday and it was brilliant. One A, two Bs, and the rest Cs. Way to go Caitlin!

~ William is finally better and WILL be going to school tomorrow. Regardless of his claims that he is still very sick.

~ The Bombers were flogged on Friday night. Very disappointing!

~ Today I wore a pair of size 10 cargo pants! Who knew I'd ever be a size 10 again? I certainly didn't!

Dance Fever

This term at school K-2 have been doing Dance Fever. Yesterday parents were treated to a mini-concert so the kids could show off some of their moves.

It was a hoot. Especially when the kids all asked their parents to get up and have a dance with them! I was actually grateful for the offer to dance cause it was really cold and it helped warm up the bones.


Caitlin and Kyle have been friends since kindy. He's such a sweetie.




Next year they'll be at it again... Caitlin can't wait for the next round of Dance Fever.

Creating for Scrap Girls Christmas in July Retreat

The Scrap Girls Christmas in July Retreat is just around the corner, and Miss Kylie sprung another challenge kit upon me to do samples with.

I loved working with this kit. The colours are so warm and everything worked so well together.

From the contents of the kit, pictured below, I managed to create 4 layouts and 5 cards! Not a bad effort at all. I've still got a few bits and pieces left over and my mind has been ticking as to what I can do with them... we shall see!





Here's my card set....










And here's my layouts...









Will we be seeing you at the Scrap Girls Christmas in July Retreat? I hope so!

Happy Birthday Miss Caitlin


Happy Birthday gorgeous girl x

Turning 8 is a big deal... don't we know it! Caitlin's birthday wish list included a laptop and an iPod Nano. She didn't get either, but was quiet happy with all the gorgeous gifts she did get.

Swimming in the morning. Cooking in the afternoon courtesy of her very own Cooking 4 Kids cookbook. And of course, birthday cake after dinner!




Poor little William was so sick he didn't even eat any of your birthday cake. You know he must be really unwell if he knocks back chocolate cake.

Beach Mini Album

These photos were taken over 2 years ago. I always enjoy going back in time... comparing how the kids, and Russ and I have changed too. Sometimes it's good to get reflective.
