First Day...

Well, everything went smoothly... no tears. No tantrums. In fact, I couldn't get to school fast enough for the kids... They loved being back there, finding a new desk to sit at and old friends to sit next to....

... and I'm glad I have no more books to cover! Hope everyone else had a smooth transition into the school year!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...

G'Day Mate! Happy Australia Day!!! Throw another shrimp on the barbie! LOL!

Hope you are having a good one!! {And Happy Birthday Aunty Fara!! See you tonight!}

Project 365...

A week already? Here's my update... (so far, so good!)

Jan 14 - We had a baking day, where we made these marshmallow cookies, found in the new recipe book Tahlia got for Christmas.

Jan 15 - I received some "happy" mail!

Jan 16 - We bought an apple slinky maker! Now we need to limit the number of apples the kids eat per day!

Jan 17 - The kids actually asked for a fruit platter for morning tea! I can't complain about that... hee hee!

Jan 18 - Poor baby had his six month needles...

Jan 19 - My reliable little helper around the house!! I ask the boys to help out too, but there's no guarantee the work will get done within a reasonable time frame!

Jan 20 - Cam loves to watch our dog through the window...and our dog loves to watch him!

Thanks for visiting...Please leave a comment especially if you are doing this too! I'd love to see how you are putting this little project together! I've started a flickR gallery. You can find it in the side bar--->

Scrapboxx newsletter...

Just sharing my layout from the December Newsletter for The Boxx. It felt strange working with this larger size again....and I think I need to tweak it a little...

Family photos and Create...

It seems I've not posted for a while...(according to my FIL!) and I need to stop neglecting my blog! Hey! It's not my fault you've been in quarantine and can't see your grandkids!! hee hee! So just to make him happy, here are a few family photos from the past week...

I've also been busy scrapping...but nothing I can share fully just yet... so here's a little sneak peek of what's coming up soon...

Project 365...

I've decided that this will be much easier for me...(ahem)...if I post my photos weekly. :) This is a sample of our last few days.

Jan 7 - The kids love these home made danishes. They are very fond of the chicken and cheese ones but I often make ham and cheese which are quite popular too.

Jan 8 - Tahlia and I had a "Mummy/Daughter" date. Something we haven't done in such a long time. We went to see the Princess and the Frog. It was really good but I felt the voodoo scenes were underplayed during the advertising of the movie. Younger kids could get scared quite easily. Disney was a little heavy handed with the "dark" side in this movie.

Jan 9 - Sad, but true. We finally had a moment spare to take the Christmas tree down today. We look at it's longevity in being displayed, as part of our family enjoying the season just a little extra, this time around! LOL!

Jan 10 - Our clever little man started clapping!! I'm so excited about this... hee hee!

Jan 11 - Cameron had some quality time playing with a new Christmas gift. He loves to grab those big, green elephant ears!

Jan 12 - A funny little scene I found that Ethan had created. A long line of cars! I thought it might have been a traffic jam, but no! Apparently, they are all lined up to go to the movies at the drive-in!

Jan 13 - Today we went to Bribie Island. It was a nice little treat to go over there and have a picnic morning tea. The kids had a play at the park and then we couldn't resist the water! It was such a beautiful morning!!
