Happy Birthday Miss Alison

Since you dont blog anymore I will for you!!!!

Had a great day at Gold Class with you today and LOVED Pandora shopping.

Mr talkative

Max- “mum wot dat?”
Mum – “Gravy”
Max – “Gravy mum, oh yeah, GRAAVVY, it is mum…Gravy, oh yeah, oh yeah, gravy”

Max laying on the lounge – “want dummy mum”
Mum- “lets go get it”
Max- “no mum, I stay here, you get it”. (points upstairs)
Mum – “No if you want it you go and get it”
Max – “Oh ok mum, i stay here” (continues to watch TV)

Mum - "maybe today we can swim"

Max - "no mum TOOO COLD, you said NO MORE, too cold, oh no, no more pool, goodbye pool"

Mum - "that was in winter, now it is warm and you can swim"

Max - "oh warm.......ok (s)wim warm, ok mum ok"

remember challenge

I am getting frustrated with myself as I love to remember.....i have a good memory for dates and remember LOTS but I just can't remember EVERYTHING. Sometimes I cant even remember where my keys are...let alone when Max started his obession with diggers. I have been meaning to sit down and add to our journals for weeks as I have really let this habit go and that makes me sad....I love to remember.

the other night I was looking for a shot of me..........I have a lot, thanks to my friend Alison, my bathroom mirror and my husband who will snap away for 12 seconds and hope he gets one IN FOCUS one of me not blinking.

Anyway I started to remember..........lots, but not all ......so as of tomorrow I am going to write more down before I go off blog hopping and posting on the parent chat forum i love reading.

I also found this CHALLENGE on a blog ...

Here’s how you play:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don’t want to play on your blog, or if you don’t have a blog, I’ll leave my memory of you in my comments.

SO PLEASE leave me a memory........PLEASE

memories of me in this photo ( Sat. Sept 13, 2008)

I am not happy with my weight

I love having my hair curled by my neighbour

My mobile was broken and I failed at going for 2 years with the same mobile by 4 months.

I worked a 4 day week.

I spent Friday night having fun with the girls from work, Saturday at a wedding and Sunday night having fun with at our IDOL party.

I can't keep up with the ironing and washing lately.

I spend way too much time on the computer thinking about the things I love instead of doing them.

I wish more than anything that I was pregnant.

I am 31 years and 326 days old

Yesterday I was rel. principal of a school and while I liked the comfy chair I don't think I will ever go there.......it just does not seem rewarding...the classroom is rewarding.

I hate the fact I cant do things to my house at the moment as we dont have enough cash...I hate high interest rates, I go to bed dreaming of having money to spend on everyting I WANT AND NEED.

Today

Happy Father's day Daz.

It was great watching you receive the handmade gifts Max made you at Linda's (FDC).

We also gave you a retro Parramatta Jersey and a book called My Dad.

Max was so excited about mowing the lawn with Dad today, he just follows him up and down and holds on to the mower when he can. I remember when I was little I would follow the tracks my dad made. I guess as a kid it is relaxing watching someone mow the lawn.

We went to visit my Dad too. Max soooo adores his POP, he follows him everywhere and enjoyed time in the garden with him today too.

Sheree gave me a blog award. Sometimes I wish I had more time to scrap with this girl, life always seems to get in the way, maybe these school holidays.

The rules for the award are - (1) The winner can put the logo on their blog. (2) Link the person you received your award from. (3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs. (4) Put links of those on yours. (5) Leave a message on the blogs of the girls or boys you’ve nominated.

I guess there are so many blogs I love...there are over 150 in my bloglines and it is part of my daily routine to check bloglines. I am tired and lazy and going to tag everyone in my side bar as I love all these blogs

another blog I dont have there is Karen Russell's blog. She takes the best photos ever, and I adore all of her products, she just does it for me!!!! If Max was to fall in love with and marry Annie (her gorgeous daughter) one day I would be one happy mumma!!! LOL but I think i have said this before.

have a great week everyone

YIPPPPEEEEEE!

My mum's birthday always means the end of winter and brighter warmer days! Day light saving is 4 weeks away, another big YIPPPEEEE!!!

I had a fantastic time away scrapping with the girls, we got the best deal EVER and it was fantastic. So good we are doing it again at LEAST 3 times next year......we had a private cabin, great light, great food and great company - what else could we ask for.

A comment (by a male) was made at work today about me going away scrapbooking and suggesting that means I HAVE NO LIFE!!! It made me think of the line

"I HAVE a LIFE that is WHY I scrapbook"

Here is a LO I did on the weekend. I got 12 done in total, 10 for me and 2 for Kathryn as she was my bidder in the KSK auction. I will share more soon.
