proud mumma moment

Today while I was scrapbooking Max came into the room and asked to draw. He handed me the book when he was done and said "I wrote your name". I was sooooo shocked and happy, to see him write a word for the first time other than his own name and the word ice cream that he copied at preschool this was another one of those "truly great proud mumma moments".
he can write mum!!!!!!!

bless him xxxxxx

sick again

Poor bub!

and yes I missed some days in May...as my sick boy kept me busy and blogger was not playing nicely!

Can I have another 4 hours in the day please????

this is me

On Mothers day I was inspired by the beautiful light behind me to take some selfies! I used to do so many ME pages before children and as I was looking in my albums on Mothers day I saw that I haven't done much at all these days.

I brought my first pair of black ugg boots this year and they are my new favourite shoe.

My favourite TV shows are Keeping up with the Kardashians, Winners and Losers, 7pm project and loving that RPA is back on.

Last Movie I saw was "Just go with it" it was funny !

Since Easter I have been eating way too much chocolate. I still have 10kg (at least to loose).
I hate that exercise takes time and I have barely any.

An untidy house frustrates me. There are lots of random things scattered throughout the house..they need to be put away...and when they finally are Flynn goes and gets them again.
I now am an electricity saving, whinging, PAIN in the butt as I hate that it has become so expensive and our bills average around $750 each quarter!!!!!

Flynn being clingy frustrates me! Then I have to remind myself, enjoy every minute and stop wishing it away! I wont get to keep my cute little toddler forever.

I am blessed to have some fantastic girl friends.

I hate that my dream home is not in my dream neighbourhood - where kids play and ride their bikes.

It seems as soon as we get ahead financially we go straight back behind.

I am thankful for all the things my dad does, he makes me smile.

I don't own any really nice jeans!

I am worried I am forgetting how to be a "great teacher" while I am off class.

I want to achieve everything on my list and if I ever do I can think of another 20 things to add that I need to do.

I'm tired and since I love my sleep and find it hard to wake up for Flynn at the ungodly hour of 6:45am I am off to catch some sleep xxx

Life Long Friends

My photography failed to capture the BLING of all the silver glitter on this layout! It is truely one of my favoutires.

The title is from 2 Crafty. Every week there is lots of new inspiration on the 2 Crafty blog and don't forget Vanessa makes all of her chipboard here so you are supporting Australian made by asking your local scrapbook store to stock her designs.

sick

Max and I are sick again! He always manges to get it and successfully pass it on to me!
We spent the day on the lounge under a quilt each! No food, just chats, naps and ABC for kids TV!

yawn and brrrrrrr, the cold weather has hit so I am off to bed!!!!!!

I am a lucky mum

A nice day doing the usual - kids birthday parties at Monkey Mania, hanging out clothes and just being a mum! I think at one point I thought about getting away from it all next year and just being ALONE!!! But then I would miss these 2 gorgeous boys toooo much oh and since the hubby cleaned up for me and did some shopping he could be missed too!
A bit upset there was no card to tell me what a fabbo mum I am AM! but oh well, off to build a bridge !! Happy mothers day to ALL xx

Fagan Park layout

On Friday night I had a lovely night sitting and scrapping with Melinda and Loretta! NOT much scrapbooking went on. I was in a REAL rut and just could not pull it together. I finally used the October Afternoon Sketch and managed to scrap this layout after LOTS of paper shuffling and procrastinating! It was a very late night!!!!

It was nice to scrap with PEOPLE again! We are talking about making it a monthly event "Our little livo craft club" LOL Next month there will be some quilting and crocheting! brrr after a cold start to May I will be happy to make a quilt!

Mahogany - thank you

Well done to these local girls!!!! I am soooo happy for them. Looking forward to seeing them in concert soon.

just saying.....

I hate white ants.
I dislike jealous people.
Don't make yourself LOOK better by shitting on others.
Speak UP. Man up or move out!!!!!
good always defeats evil in the end!


just saying!!!! xxxx

school shopping

ARGHHHH!!!!!! it is doing my head in!!!!

the what ifs, the buts, the oh yes i love that school but it is out of area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called a school today and it made me MAD that they were RUDE!

It is making me sick thinking about it all the time.

I just want the best, like everyone else!

I am over thinking YES, I am considering how primary school choices impact on high school choices. I am annoyed the some schools wont take kids out of area!!!!

I have shed some tears. It has consumed me these last 10 days!!!! oh geee I am a painful teacher/mother! How does one ever separate herself!!!!?????

Max! Where have the last 5 years gone???

Max April- May2011.

You love Batman.

You sleep with Penny your dalmation, I love that soooo much.

You love to pretend and at Preschool had a fantastic time setting up an ice cream shop. You copied your teachers signs and wrote lots for the first time! I love watching you learn through play.

You often write your name backwards.

You love to pretend to speak another langauge. I have been told over 50 times you will be a great actor one day...you are certainly KEEN to act!!!!

You can count to 14, you can recognise numbers to 6. We have started Mathletics and you are loving to learn lots of Numeracy concepts.

You can built Lego following instructions.

You LOVE Lego, every day you ask for BATMAN Lego but it is all sold out. You love to play the Batman Lego game on wii.

You do "back chat' often and need to be nagged to listen. You are a handful, you want what YOU want, you are egocentric like most kids your age. You go loopy and crazy and I do a bit of yelling lately! You need an off switch but even though I want to turn you off only for one second I still LOVE crazy Max.

When Flynn was running towards the road and I asked why you never stopped him you replied "I didn't want to drop my ice cream".

When you don't want to do something you say "we will do it on Sunday".

You can push and hit Flynn one minute and be tickling and playing 'where's the baby' the next.
You said to me " I wish I was your husband".

Almost every time we drive past the shops you say "can I get a toy?"

You had a language assessment and there are somethings we need to work on, I want the best for you...always remember that.

I often say to you "this is not a restaurant...eat your dinner"
When you had a vomiting bug you looked up at me with sad eyes and said "I wish my body did not do this".

Today & Tonight

Today it was announced Osama Bin Laden was killed, A BIG DAY in history, a big day in the war on terror. The man that ordered the Sept 11 2001 attacks on New York and Washington...so much more evil too, makes me sad for those that lost their lives.

Tonight I had a big headache and could not do any school work so I sat and watched the biggest looser finale and had a ball laughing with friends via text messages and facebook

my fav quote from the series was

"why have you put on weight?"

"Ive been busy!"

"been busy doing what??...... Eating chocolate???

After a ver BAD april eating wise I am scared to get on the scales and see all my 4.5kg lost this year BACK!!!!! Back to weight watchers for ME (tsk tsk)

Something everyday in May

I miss this blog, I miss updating and coming back and remembering. I LOVE to document and I am sad that I have not documented monthly like I did in 2010.

I am going to challenge myself to blog every day in May. So here is a layout share.

The step by step instructions for the sun are featured on the 2Crafty blog
