Elleni the Christening photos are FANTASTIC and I promise i will get them to you ASAP!!!! I owe 5 people CD's of photos. Kylie, Helen, Tina and Dad - I am thinking of you and will get to it THIS WEEK!!!!

Today YOU

I had a little sleep in this morning as I heard Max play in his cot.

We left for Jean's Stamping up party with the Little People Bus and I must say you were pretty good, you didn't break anything and you captivated the ladies with your jibber talk!!!

Aunty Alison is the BEST baby sitter!!!!!

Double fun today- I got to play with some GREAT stamping up products ( I am going to have a party i love the stuff SO MUCH) and I picked up my lens off Alison!!! WOW not much time to play but I LOVE IT!!!! Alison took some fantastic photos of Jean's house, stamps and food. plus these photos of you

I have taken a break from school work tonight!!! I am sooooo tired of it, I am scrapping a page I have had out for 6 days, I have not worked on it, just looked at it and I am sooo sick of seeing it. Once the ink dries I am finishing it if it kills me.

While I have been waiting I have been updating my journal on Max. WOW i am so glad I have kept this as it really shows how quickly things change and it shows me how much I would have forgotten!!!!

YOU NOW

• You love going through any cupbaord and playing with bottles, tubes or clips.
• You hate getting your nappy changed
• You love your Little people Animals.
• You can climb the stairs
• You LOVE to swim
• You hate it when I leave you and made me cry this week when I left you to go to work
• You jibber ALL the time
• when you get excited you say "gwee"
• You love to throw things off the staircase.
• You wont walk alone
• Your hair has grown
• you sneak into my room and turn the computer off
• You can clap and wave
• You love saying dad
• You love your puppy
• You bop to the beat of the spin cycle of the washing machine.
• You can throw and roll a ball

now back to scrapping!!!!!!!

We are still here!!!

all I can say is I am SOOOO SICK of programming - 10.5 hours of my life wasted. Teaching is over rated at this time if year!!!

and yes the pool is still empty - but does not stop us from getting in the deep end!!!!! 1.85m at that!!!!! my head just reaches the bottom of the water line tiles!!!!! If it was full max would JUST be getting some air!

3 things from my weekend

I hurt my back on Friday night - still sore!! and sadly I was imitating Nathan from Hi 5 and his OVER dancing skills.

I woke up with a headache on Saturday morning but Alison cheered me up on Saturday afternoon as out stamps from purple onion arrived YUMMY YUMMY (check out all the great date stamps) and she gave me the news that Daz has bought me a 50mm fixed lens!!!! YIPPPPEEEEEEE I get it next Sunday

and we finally took the Russell one year shot!!!!! GEE this is getting hard!!!! he is toooo quick!

Max is nearly walking - just has to let go of everything else!!
NIGHT!!!!!!

catch up!!!!

Gee I ended January with some quality spelling and fantastic grammar - note to SELF - ALWAYS reread!!!!

Back at school, smiling, forgetting the dramas of the past - killing them with kindness and it is confusing - also makes the day go quicker. I have NO one to job shre with so I am working extra days as I cant LET my kidlets GO - TOO MUCH TO DO!!!!!!

My little boy has made it into a scrapbooking magazine!!!! YES third page of this months scrapbooking memories. this was my first DT job for Addicted to Craft. I loved this Chatterbox memory building kit - it really was great to work with!!!!!

here is the LO!!!!!

Max is back at swimming and in my best proud Mumma vocie he is the youngest by nearly 9 months and he is THE BEST!!!!! Glad i kept up the lessons as our pool wll be ready in JUNE!!!! BLOODY paver company sent the SECOND batch of FAULTY copers so we are another 3 weeks behind as I need to start all over again and of course pay more money!!!!!

We said happy birthday to Zoes from Mothers group!!!! Zoe was born on Max's due date andthis was her due date too!!!! my little due date twins!!!!!

better go and get the playground duty timetable done and get a little scrapping in!!!!!!

Oh a quick photo!!! max has been having some SHOCKING sleep patterns and he is harder to get to sleep so when he does not sleep it is the perfect time to take some shots as he has some of the best faces!!!!!
