How busy can one person be…

Without actually getting anything done? I am so knackered and yet I feel like I haven’t really gotten that much done, kwim? Today Mom and I went off on a mission - first stop St Vinnie’s, where we happened to find an earthenware plant bowl (I transplanted my cherry tomato plant), 2 ride-on motorbikes for the boys and some books. All for the princely some of $8. Then off to Spotlight (which is a craft/habbie/homeware store) and promptly spent loads more on fabric, curtains, cute quilt covers for the boys and of course, some more scrapbooking supplies :roll:

Well, when we got home, the boys were totally rapt with the bikes and rushed off around the house, chasing each other :lol: After lunch, I shortened the curtains (cos wouldn’t you know, they were too long, right? :roll: ), fixed up one of the dining chair covers, mowed the lawn, transplanted my plant, did some weeding and watered the garden. Hmmm ok so maybe I’ve done more than I thought I did :D

The other bit of news is that we are babysitting Princess, Alex’s cat, for two weeks. She has settled in very nicely, even finding a hiding spot on the shadecloth above the patio. My boys will NOT leave her be, poor thing. She has done well, finding that hiding place :lol:

So we ended off the evening with a nice bbq, glass of chilled white wine and divine, crisp salad. How lovely to relax at the end of the day, listening to good music and with Christmas lights going….aaaaaah :D

On the scrapbooking front, I’ve been very slack - totally lost my mojo. I’m feeling so uninspired and I’m hoping it’s just the Xmas blues that I have :( Or maybe I’m just swamped with the pre-Xmas rush.

Anyhoo, I got some more pics that have finally been processed. Not the best, I’m afraid, but I love them anyway :D

 

Some cuddles for Gramma :D And yes, Matthew was suddenly too shy for cuddles :roll:

That’s it for now. I’ll be back once I’ve processed some playgroup photos :D *mwah*

Oh forgot to mention - Jason’s hair is sticking up like that because Matthew rubbed an ENTIRE jar of barrier cream in his hair (”I was giving Jasey a ’spikey’ hairstyle, Mummy”) :roll: How do you argue with that??

  4. OMW! He looks so much like your mom. They appear to be having lots of fun. And your Matthew seems to be a little character!

  5. Great photo’s Gill…I’ve come to the conclusion that we all do far too much in the lead up to Christmas!! It must be lovely for you having the Grandparents around and I bet the boys get spoilt rotten..

    Once the New Year comes around I’m sure your great creative talent for scrapping will come rushing back!!
