Just have to share

I took some photos of Micayla for a layout I have in my head. The photos just came out so beautiful I just had to share.


She was getting stroppy with me cause I was taking so many photos and she was getting sick of it. Then she asked if she could make up some poses of her own. The above photos are her own ideas and I just snapped away as she played. They turned out the best out of all the others I took.



Keep scrolling down, there are lots of posts I've uploaded over the last couple of days.

I have been tagged!!!

Thanks to the gorgeous Cassandra for my tag.

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1- I love to play with my hair.
It's been a habit I've had since I was a child and I just can't stop. I do it more when I'm tired. Adrian hates it and is always telling me to stop it and this frustrates me cause I just wanna do it!!!

2- I can't stand seafood or fish.
The smell of it makes me feel sick and just eating it makes me sick. I remember throwing up everywhere after eating scallops that we caught fresh that day when my brother went deep sea diving.

3- I am double jointed in my thumbs and my elbows.
My thumbs go in all directions and I can lay them flat against my wrist. I can also rest my hands palms down on the table and turn my elbows so the inside of my arms are facing the cealing. Micayla has inherited this from my and Adrian thinks we are deformed.

4- When I'm hungover I like to eat fried eggs on vegemite toast.
Gross isn't it!!! Not really, it's yummy.

5- I am a night owl
The only reason I go to bed is because Adrian says I should. What is sleep anyway, do we really need it? There is always too much to do. Don't have time to sleep. I can stay up till 2-3 in the morning and not be tired enough to go to bed. Especially when I am scrapping.

6- I write Lists
Before I go to bed each night I write a list of what I have to do the next day so that I can get to sleep. I even write that I need to have lunch, or shower after the cross trainer. I guess it's to remind me I have to stop. Also, it's another thing I get to cross off my list. I even have lists of what scrapping stuff and deadlines I need to complete, like entering comps etc.

7- I Love Summer and Hate Winter.
I love the bright warm sunny days, where I get to wear pretty skin showing clothing. I feel so alive when the sun is shinning and have some colour in my skin. I hate the drab boring colours of winter and the heavy ugly layering of clothing. I become a recluse in winter and would just love to be a bear hibernating in a cave. I do love though, snuggling up in front of a warm fire, while its cold and miserable outside. Pitty we don't have a warm fire in our house. So who wants to volunteer to walk Micayla to school and pick her up during winter.

OK so thats it...some boring trivial information about me. !! lol well it was a bit of fun, and these people can now consider themselves TAGGED.......

I can't find the 7th person to tag. Everyone else I would've tagged has already been tagged so I can only come up with 6.

LAURA, JUDEE, DEBBIE, LUCY, MICHELLE, and KAT

Anzac Day

David, Laura and Kaytie came around today. Laura and I scrapped all day and the boys took the kids to the park in the morning. Dave then took Kaytie back home so she could sleep and Adrian went with him to watch the Essendon/Collingwood match. Micayla and Bailey stayed with us otherwise Kaytie wouldn't sleep. It was very peaceful scrapping while they were all at the park. Here are some photos Adrian took at the park.
Micayla is helping Kaytie turn the wheel.

After lunch, when the boys and Kaytie had gone, Tania came and joined us to scrap. Nathan, Mitchell and Jaeda came as well and the kids played all afternoon. Laura, Tania and I were squashed into the office scrapping. Should've got photos of this, it looked pretty ridiculous when we could've spread out on the kitchen table. But Laura and I were already set up in the office so we didn't have to clean up when it was time for lunch. Tania BYO'd (is that a word; LOL it is now) her own card table to set up in the office with us. We finally packed up around 5pm and went around to David and Laura's for tea, but Tania went home to her intoxicated (LOL) husband who'd been at the footy all day. Poor Micayla had a splitting head ache that wouldn't go away. She was crying and crying. Never seen her with a head ache like that before. She was in bed early after 2 doses of panadol (over 4 hours) and nurofen, actually she's in my bed. Hopefully she won't wake up with it in the morning and she can go to school.

We were actually supposed to go to the Artypants All Day Crop, but the boys were supposed to go on a bike ride so we couldn't go. Their bike ride didn't eventuate and then Artypants were booked out. So we did the above instead.

Another Hearing Test for Bailey

Well as you are probably aware both of Bailey's grommets have come out of his ears. He has had more fluid build up so we went for another hearing test. As it turns out he has mild hearing loss. This is actually quite good, because he had a little cold over Easter and normally this would cause a lot of fluid build up in his ears, causing a moderate to severe hearing loss, which it hasn't this time. So I think the grommets have done a good job so far, but not quite good enough. Given his history, he has been referred back to the specialist for him to make a decision whether or not to put more grommets in.

Something Newish for Scrapbookers

I just jumped onto the 'For Keeps' website, which is otherwise boring. But...... it's all been revamped and it's all new and exciting. Check it out....

www.forkeepscreativescrapbooking.com.au

They now have a forum, and you can sign up for a newsletter, check out competitions etc. They are just launching their competition for the 2008 Elite Team. Really worth a look. Hopefully see my forum buddies chatting over at 'For Keeps' as well. LOL see you over there Alz; you'll recognise me in there when you check it out.

Shanika's and a Movie

Thanks to Yvonne and Damien for starting out a lovely night out last night (Sat 21st), just Adrian and I. Yve and Damien gave us vouchers for a meal at Shanika's in Berwick. Damien told us that Yve had a little thank you for us for everything we did to help toward their wedding. I was just thinking a card and maybe something really little, which is even more than I expected. We were blown away when we opened the card to find Shanika's vouchers. And Shanika's is my fav restaurant; their food and service is just scrummy. We both had eye fillet steak, which was cooked perfectly (bleeding). Mine with a generous amount of Bearnaise sauce and Adrian had Peppercorn sauce. It was followed by the biggest piece of Tirimusu for me, which I ate every bit of (I know, I'm a piggy), and Sticky Date for Adrian. He left some on his plate but I just couldn't bring myself to finish it off for him.

After dinner we went on to Village Cinema in Fountain Gate to see 'Perfect Stranger'. Thanks to David and Laura for the vouchers for that. David and Laura gave Adrian movie vouchers for his birthday, 2 birthdays ago. We finally got around to using them. Just as they were about to expire. The movie was really good and the ending was definately not what I expected.

The kids had a sleepover at their Oma and Opa's and as always they had lots of fun and stayed up really late. They spent this morning playing in the park that has been updated with lots of awesome new play equipment. It was really quite in the house when we got home at around 11.30pm. I know it would've been quite at that time anyway cause the kids would've been in bed, but it seemed really lonely knowing they were not in there beds and we couldn't just go in there and see them sleeping and give them a kiss. It was very empty when we got up this morning to make our own breakfast and none for the kids. I missed the joyful noise of the kids in the morning. It made me think, what is it going to be like when they grow up and move out. I hope they visit a lot.

Thanks again to Yvonne and Damien and David and Laura for providing a really nice night out for us.
