School Holidays

are a fairly new concept to me. With Harry only starting school this year, I am still adjusting to the whole routine of it. And school holidays are no exception...

What it basically means is my days off are not my own, and I don't mean because i have my children with me...but because it has meant I have an extra kid. And I reckon that third kid just tips me over the edge. I actually took 3 of them to day 1 of the KMart toy sale..Not sure what i was thinking...it wasn't mega terrible. But it was just tiring trying to keep 2 eyes on 3 kids going in different directions, in a busy store. I knew 3 kids wasn't for me!

The good thing about school holidays is I get to enjoy the company of my sister. We haven't done anything too exciting. More having fun with the kids. We took them to Toy Story 3, which I really enjoyed (Harry cried at the end, and that made me cry, hehe), and went out for lunch.


The kids and I also enjoyed an overnight stay in Ballarat, which wasn't too cold. We stayed at my brother Jon and his wife Leia's and had yummy noodle box for dinner. Love a good cheap feed..

I must go and get some washing on the line, although I am not convinced it will dry. It is only 9 degrees, but it is sunny..I don't generally waste my time hanging washing out in winter. But I don't think I have space today for all of my loads to hang around inside.

Right, I must get to it. I want to sort packs to take to my scrapping retreat in 2 weeks, and get Emmy's 4th birthday party invites done! Aaaagh, whenever there is a million things to do, I always reassure myself that it is okay because after this, it will all calm down. But there is always something to sort out, LOL!


This is a layout i did at a recent crop at my LSS. I decided to lash out for the day and took no papers with me. It was lovely to have new stuff for all of the layouts i completed. It helped freshen up my mojo!

Cheers to a great weekend peeps xxxx
