You Could Have Heard A Pen Drop!

I'm working away yesterday (at work) and the kids are pretty quiet. YAY! Then there is a massive burst of laughter, followed by more quiet... then another massive burst of laughter.

I'm thinking I really should get up and check what's going on but I'm in the middle of processing... next thing, William comes running into me, turns around, drops his pants, lifts his top and shows me this...

Caitlin is standing just to the side of the door wondering if I'm going to crack it or laugh. I laugh. Not just a little giggle, but a big belly laugh. It's too funny. The tongue makes me laugh more than anything. So, thinking they are in the clear and mum isn't going to crack it if Caitlin continues to draw on William, I'm presented with this...

It's a bit hard to see, but Williams nipples have been transformed into eyes pmsl.

Then we have drawings on the inside and outside of his hands...

And his beautiful face! Complete with an 'L' on his forhead, a goattee, earings and assorted other random marks.

His legs were quiet a treat too! Got to love these kids!

Creating for Scrap Girls

I love getting little packs of joy from Kylie to prepare samples for the Scrap Girls Challenge Kits. There's always many interesting 'bits' to play with as well as gorgeous co-ordinating papers and cardstock. Here are my samples from the March challenge kit.

I've received my May kit to play with... it's so pretty!

A Front Door View

New home... new view from the front door! Jump on over to the Little Scrapbook Shop Forum and share a photo of your front door view. It's so interesting to see the world through someone elses door!

Mow, Mow, Mow the Lawn...

A new backyard, a new lawn mower and a new lawn mower man! William decided that he should now be responsible for mowing the lawn. The backyard at least. It was a cack watching him pushing the mower... zigging and zagging, ducking and weaving all over the place. He did finish the job... not quiet to our usual standard, but I can live with some areas not done if he's going to have a go.

Let's see if he has the same enthusiasm next time the mower comes out of the shed...

Grandpa Ray, Christine... and the motorbike!

The kids love having Grandpa Ray and Christine come to visit. They get lots of attention which of course all children love.

But... they especially love it when they come on the motorbike!

Grandpa Ray lets them sit on it, start it up and rev away. The kids think this is tops!

Grandpa Ray has promised that next time he comes he will bring a small helmet so he can take them for a quick ride around the block. He'd better not forget cause the kids sure won't!

4-7-11 @ Little Scrapbook Shop

At Little Scrapbook Shop we are running a year long challenge, 4-7-11. We've broken up the year into 4 parts, each of which has 7 challenges.

The first parts challenges are inspired by the 7 Wonders of the World. I chose the Northern Lights for my inspiration.

If you're looking for some inspiration or a challenge that's a little bit out of the box, pop over to the forum and join in all the 4-7-11 fun!

My Son's A Destroyer!

William is so determined to play NRL and AFL this year. He has resigned with the Kellyville Magpies for AFL, and he's signed up with the Quakers Hill Destroyers for NRL.

Ask him which he likes best, and he replies "NRL and AFL". He loves them both!

On Saturday he had 2 trial games against the Penrith Warratahs. Here's a few of the 123 photos taken!

Very excited to have a jersey on

On field

mmmm... pondering what will happen next

Going in for a tackle

The chase

He only had one complaint after the games... he didn't score a try!
