Over the last few weeks, I have been busy making some cute hair accessories ready for the Christmas markets ...
These polka dot bow headbands are a new favourite ... they actually have a little bit of stuffing inside so that the bow sits perfectly everytime.
More of the popular large flower headbands.
And some pretty little clips. Will upload to my Etsy Shop over the next couple of days ... perfect Christmas gifts.
Is this the face of someone who has had a really good day?
It is definitely the face of someone only a mother could love. Believe it or not, Freddie did start the day, at 4:10am looking quite smart in his white shirt and cute boardies .... but entire day spent at a swimming carnival results in him looking like this ...
he played cars all day in what he called "the sandpit" but was in actual fact dirt under the grandstands .... he had an absolute ball! The whole family travelled to Chinchilla for the day, an extremely long and hot day ... and did I mention that we travelled on a school bus with NO AIRCONDITIONING ... I had the fattest ankles you have ever seen by the time we got home at 8:30pm.
A great day for the swimmers ... Evie swam all PBs and just missed out on a couple of third places ...
Jack had a ripper of a day ... he swam 6 PBs out of 7 events, broke 5 pool records and was the 11 year old boy age champion ...
I was so happy for him, it's great to see all his hard work paying off ... I had to beg for him to pose for the above photo ... one of the Mums told him that one day the six pack would be long gone replaced with a beer gut and Jack will be telling his kids that when he was young he was pretty buff and a decent swimmer ... of course, his kids won't believe him but he will be able to pull out his photo! That got a smile out of him!
Freddie's perfect day was topped off with a trip home on the bus with all the big kids ...
He did well to keep going as long as he did!
Yesterday, Evie had dance rehearsal all day long .... the rest of us went to a friend's for lunch with included some water fun for the boys ...
All in all a busy but fun weekend ... plenty more on the horizon with the crazy season rapidly approaching.
Be back soon, thanks for stopping by.
