Stuff to Share

I did Kinda duty with Bailey yesterday. They had their End of Term BBQ, which I think is a bit too early. They still have next week left of Kinda before school holidays start. It was always fun doing kinda duty on the party days when Micayla was in kinda because they made it a real party. I thought yesterdays party was boring. The kids just had a sausage in bread and a pop top that the committee had organised. No "party" involvement at all. Not even a theme for the kids to dress up or anything. In Micayla's year the parents would get involved by providing a plate of food for the party and the kids would have some sort of dress up. There was always lots of mums to help cause it was fun to do. We are not even given that opportunity with this group. Even for Fathers Day, they didn't have a day at Kinda with the dads. They said they will be doing something for the dads next term but that's not Father's Day. It's really quite dissappointing. Anyway, I did take some photos of Bailey at Kinda yesterday.


This is all the kids sitting around eating their sausages. Bailey didn't even want his and I ate it. He's gone off his food lately, don't know why.



These are shots of Bailey playing with some of the things at Kinda.





Then I started mucking around with him and he started pulling faces. It started off nice and then I think he was over me having the camera in his face.







Father's Day


Adrian wasn't feeling very well on Father's Day so we had a pretty quite day. The kids gave him the presents they'd bought and made from school and kinda. Bailey gave him a set of Cougar coasters, a key chain in the shape of a heart with a tiny wee little picture of his dad opening a present that he'd drawn. The present was a bit of scribble. It was so cute. He also did a hand print with a poem and some questions on the back that the teacher had him answer.

Some of the questions were:

My Daddy is the best daddy in the world because..... "he lifts up swing sets"

My Dad likes to eat....... "Vegies, everything"

My Dad is "Older than Mummy" years old.

Micayla gave him a photo frame and a Worlds Greatest Dad laminated certificate that she decorated herself.

We went for a drive to Frankston Motor Bike track, we are applying for membership there. We met up with Marty and Julie and Scott and Tania. They all had their bikes out riding around. Then we went to visit Adrian's parents before Adrian went off to play Soccer with Scott.

An update on the scrapping I've been doing.


This is the photo album I made for Sharelle and Baby Peyton. I have left places for Sharelle to put photos into the album. I have also made her a gift box that was filled with hand cream, chocolates and a little bottle of Kahlua for her.



This is the sample layout I have done for the Monthly Themed Challenge on the Artypants forum. This month is a sketch provided by Becky Flecks Page Maps. Check out the forum and have a go at the sketch yourself.
