Cut & Paste

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 35

The highlight of this week was a lovely three days at the Coast.

Polly on the phone talking to Gran and Darra again.  She now answers the phone when it rings and has been known to have a big long talk to Gran without me even knowing.  

Part of Fred's homework was to make a bedroom diorama.  We had lots of fun making this together.  Polly had such a tantrum when we took the bedroom to school that I had to make her one of her own.

This cat is a smoocher.

Hello Gold Coast.  The kids and I drove down on Thursday and picked Eve up from school.  She had a show holiday on Friday, yes to a long weekend.

Shopping at Robina on Friday and we spied these cool characters made from lego.

A quick little photo shoot before we dropped Eve off to her crew dinner.

Eve's rowing crew and their coach in their fun hoodies.

More bubbles than water.

Good morning Saturday.  Up bright and early to get Eve to the bus to Kawana for the Head Of The River, the final regatta of the season.

 

 

 

 

Was a massive day with St Hilda's coming third overall.  That night was the Rowing Presentation dinner back at St Hilda's.  All the crews were introduced and presented with their medals.  It was a lovely night.

A glorious morning at the beach on Sunday before farwelling the Gold Coast yet again.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 34 & A LAYOUT SHARE

This week my new camera arrived.  After much research, I decided on another Canon, the 70D.  So far, so good.  Now of course, I would really like two new lenses, keep dreaming.

Miss Polly

Wednesday was Weengallon Pink Ladies Day.  An awesome lunch in the middle of nowhere raising money for cancer.  Thanks Mel Gladman for the snap.

My souvenir from the Pink Ladies Day.

Polly's new yellow boots.  She managed to wear out her navy boots.

Chasing the pot of gold.

Fred's first book week dress up.  Introducing Where's Wally.

Rain, wind and mud on the Nudgee flats in round 5 against TSS.  Another good win to the 14As and Jack scored himself a try.  Was also team photo day.  Jack has been demoted from the back row to the middle row. He is almost looking small compared to some of the boys.

On Saturday afternoon, we went to my cousin's wedding.  Brigid married Jack at All Hallows church and the  the reception was at the Stamford Plaza.  Was a lovely wedding and wonderful to catch up with family.

Chilling out in the Hotel room in between the church and the reception.

Jack was the babysitter for the night.

Fred enjoying his last moments with Jack on Sunday.

I have been struggling to find the time and mojo to scrapbook lately but was happy with this layout that I whipped up.

That's it, thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 33

A week without a "proper" camera, definitely took less photos.  Actually dusted off my first ever digital SLR camera (EOS 350) charged it up and got it working.

Fishing mad Fred practising casting on the trampoline.  He has to cast into the red bucket.  Cheap entertainment!

Another mid morning power nap.

Baking biscuits for the rowing regatta on the weekend.  

Always mates until he eats her food that she didn't want to share.

Yet another good look that Polly styled herself.

Telling Gran and Darra all the news.  Love the pose.

Really runny eggs are Fred's fave breakfast.

Bath time = happy time

Love this photo that Eve's rowing coach took of Eve and her crew at training.

"Are we there yet?" On the road to Toowoomba yet again.

Lovely Toowoomba morning on Saturday.

Wet and muddy game against Churchie on Saturday.  Another easy win to the 14As.  

Helping to make pancakes for Sunday breaky.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 32

This week saw me turn another year older, birthdays are definitely not as exciting as they used to be.  Both the big kids actually completely forgot that it was my birthday, thanks very much.

Usually Doug collects the eggs each day and eats them.  The chooks have wised up and made a nest over the fence where Doug can't get to the eggs.  Polly was very excited to have found the big stash of eggs.

Fred giving Brownie some love.

Checking out the pretty flowers.

Fred performing a poem with his Prep class at the Eisteddfod. They came first, there was only one group in their category.

Some dress up action ..... ready to cook with a lovely mane of blonde hair.

Fred loves getting home from school and playing with his cars in the dirt pit.

Polly helping wash up after doing some baking.

Yippee, finished Eve's patchwork blanket.  Really happy with how it turned out.

Not sure how we will ever get rid of Polly's dummy.  I am sure that the only reason she has a lunch time sleep is so she can have a dummy fix.  The other kids gave their dummies away to the Dummy Fairy.  Polly is not liking that idea at all.

Another year older and wiser.

Fred and Polly were very excited about the chocolate ice cream cake that Granny organised.

On Friday at Nudgee the boys could wear a bow tie and be a Stella Fella  raising awareness of women's rights.

On Saturday we watched Eve and her crew row at Kawana.

Then we drove to Brisbane and watched Jack play at BBC.  My camera died at the rowing, just stopped working.  Thank God for iphones.

Spent Saturday night in Toowoomba, then back home on Sunday ready for another week and some camera research.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 31

Catching up again on Project Life.  Week 31, Gran and Darra came out to Gundy for a visit.

Finally finished joining all the squares in Eve's patchwork blanket.  Currently working on the border.

Smoko time

New fabrics to turn into skirts and dresses.

Polly loves raiding Gran's toiletry bag, trying out all the creams and nice smelly things.  

Ready to take the dogs for a walk with Darra.

 

 

On Friday, Brett and I drove to Brisbane for Jack's house dinner. Saturday was round 2 of the GPS rugby.  It was Nudgee's first game as they had the bye in round 1.  A home game against Brisbane Grammar.  The 14As had a great game winning 66 to 0.  Jack played prop which he isn't overly happy about but unfortunately he doesn't get to pick his position.  The Firsts also won 69 to 7.

Final goodbye to Gran and Darra on Sunday.  The boys went fishing Sunday morning, but didn't catch anything.

Thanks for stopping by.
