Father's Day

Well it might as well have been Mother's Day. We had no fathers to go and visit, mine being in Ballarat and Adrian's father was in Queensland doing something with "Steam", what else! So after the kids gave Adrian his presents that Micayla had bought from the school stall and the hand made cards and bookmarks (Adrian doesn't read), Adrian, the kids and I went around for lunch at Scott and Tania's. We had bacon and eggs and pancakes with strawberry jam, fresh strawberries and cream. Mmmmm, mouth watering.

After lunch we took the kids out to the BMX track to ride their motorbikes. Micayla is becoming really confident now and went over these little moguels, but came a cropper and the bike landed on her leg. Apart from a rather large bruise and her pride hurt, she was fine. Lucky though for knee guards. We then let them play on the playground before going back to Scott and Tania's where we sat nice and cosy in front of the log fire and nibbled all afternoon, chatting while the boys watched the car racing and drank beer. The kids were great, I can't believe there was actually no fighting and we had a peaceful afternoon. We ended up staying for leftover dinner with them before going home to put the kids to bed, after Australian Idol of course. I ate so much that day, I don't know where I put it all.

Yeah for Scrapping

Dave and Laura are inbetween operations with Kaytie at the moment and has managed to find some time for scrapping. Why is this good for me? Cause she comes over to my house and we kick Adrian out to watch the footy at Dave and Laura's house with Dave and Kaytie. I put the kids to bed (well Micayla stays up for a little while) and Laura and I scrap and chat to our hearts content. Laura scraps, I mostly chat. I hear no complaints from Adrian, so come on over Laura!!! Looking forward to this Friday night again! I'll be starting Micayla's birthday invitations.

Won another prize

Well I did it again. I've won another big prize from the Scrapbooking Creations website. I entered an online challenge for a layout using pockets and tags. This is the layout that won. I wasn't even sure if this was something they were after. It was one I'd done quite a while ago and thought I'd enter it just to be in it. Well it paid off.

I didn't even know. I read about it on the Scrapbooking Memories forum where someone else was telling everyone that I'd won. I was very excited. But I just realised I think I've already told this story. Oh well, you can hear it again.

Anyway, this is the fabulous prize I won.




A couple of embellishment packs with 196 pieces each. An 8x8 album with 2 pads of 8x8 papers, a couple of 8x8 kits, a toolkit of plyers, paper piercer, tweezers, eyelet punch and setter, hammer, 4 x paper packs from Woodstock Paper Pack, Stencils, stickers, packets of clips etc. Just heaps of stuff. This will keep me happy for a little while.

Trivia Night

On Saturday night we went along with Scott and Tania Graham to the Lynbrook Pre School Trivia Night. What a fantastic night. Tony Shaw was our Trivia Master and he did a fantastic job. We were up on our feet doing dancing challenges a lot. The girls had to dance to "You're the one that I want", so Tania and I did it dirty dancing style and the boys were enjoying that. The boys then had to do the actions to The Wiggles "Bears now Asleep". That was pathetic!!! We also danced the chicken dance for a bit of fun and YMCA at the end. One of the games you had to play was the "Honesty" game where you had to sit down if....... If you were the winner then you had led a sheltered life. Some of the questions were; sit down if you've been so drunk this year that you threw up", or you've fallen asleep on the toilet. Tania fessed up to that one ROFL. I had to sit down to wearing a G String, mind you I would've had to sit down to a lot of them. We also had to try and be the best "air guitarist". I did for a little while until my hair piece fell off from throwing my head around ROFLMAO. You'd think I was drunk doing all this stuff but no, I was on the water all night but I was just having way too much fun!!!!

Dinner with Friends

We went to dinner at our good friends Geoff and Lisa's last night. She cooked us a delicious lamb roast. It was soooo yummy, I really pigged out. Lamb roast was followed by a big slab of Apple pie and cream. Yummy again. Thanks Lisa, now I have to work out twice as hard on the cross trainer. It was soooo good to see them again. It has been ages and I've missed them. Geoff and Lisa are always great company and so much fun to be around.

Micayla and Bailey were having a great time with Stephanie and Aaron. Stephanie made Micayla a scoobie (Spelling ???) and she was biting on it and it pulled her tooth out. So another visit from the tooth fairy last night, luckily it wasn't too windy for her to come this time. She's becoming broke really fast, while Micayla is getting richer.

All Bailey wanted to do was play with Aaron's pool table and sat there for ages stacking the balls into the triangle, messing them up and restacking them. Kept him quite for ages. Then the camera came out and Bailey could see himself on the tele, which made Bailey in his element and put on a spectical for them. The kids took some great photos of each other, can't wait to see your layouts when you've scrapped them Stephanie and Aaron.

Really looking forward to seeing them again, only this time it won't be sooo long in between.

Too Windy for the Tooth Fairy!!!!

Micayla came into me very early this morning crying because the "Tooth Fairy" didn't come. OMG!! I sat straight up in bed thinking "how horrible am I". Very quickly came up with the excuse that it was far too windy last night for the Tooth Fairy to visit. Her delicate little wings were just not strong enough to fly in the strong winds we had last night. Micayla will find that she has been while she was at school and while the house was empty this afternoon; just in case it's windy again tonight.
