Surf club begins

Hi, Today we have had lovely weather which is great for a change on a weekend and tomorrow is the start of Surf club and it looks like a warm day. We have been busy planting lots of new plants in the garden front and back, where we have been busy taking out plants we no longer liked and it looks good now, just one more garden I want to add some fresh plants to and then it will be a matter of maintaining them.

Tim starts a new job on Monday so I hope all goes well for him and this may be more what he likes, seems we have had a career change with him this time each year since leaving the farm so I hope he finds this job more what he is looking for and he wont be getting sent away so that is a huge bonus.

Life is busy as usual and I still have not had a chance to scrap anything yet but hoping to soon. Once Tim is working I can get into a routine again and hopefully get time. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Take care, Trace.

Happy 6th Birthday tomorrow Angel.

This little Belle turns 6 tomorrow and she is just an awesome kid, thoughtful, caring, loving and a pleasure to have in your company. I wish her the best for her Birthday tomorrow and know she will be glowing from start to finish, she cherishes her Birthdays like no other.

This afternoon we have iced 30 cupcakes for her class and teachers to take tomorrow as well as plenty for this household and she has planned her Birthday tea and cake with the family.

With the kids back at school today I have been working up a sweat big time, cleaning bathrooms, floors, washing galore which finally could go out on the big line and get dry today, yippee, and then folding and putting it all away as well as making Pumpkin soup, cleaning out the fridge, curry for tea and about 70 cupcakes, not a bad effort if I say so myself. It was lovely to have our routine back after a very enjoyable break with school holidays, I was busy all day so I had time with the kids to hear about their day after school. I must say with sibling rivalry being in full force at times this past week the stillness in the house was very welcomed. I plan to get on top of things around here this week and then spend some time scrapping once everything is caught up in my nice clean office which is staying pretty decent so far. Well must go and get some kids to bed.
Take care, Trace.

Back on air

I have decided to give blogging another go seeing as Tim is back home and I may have some time to get back into scrapping. I think when I stopped blogging I stopped creating so I will see if this gets some creativity going again.

All sport for Keelan except Tae kwon do is over for winter so I hope to start booking in some time to create. I have so many supplies that I really can't give up scrapping.

Had last week in Perth and had a great time, got the kids Summer wardrobe sorted now, Rainee is at a Birthday party now and she wore her new pretty dress, she looked like a little doll, it was lovely to shop in different places and get more variety than what is available here, Trin is hard as she is in the next size range now but she is still only 7, having tall kids has a down side, I dont want her looking too old as she is already mistaken for older. They are such girlie girls though, while I picked the pretty clothes they were getting their necklaces and bracelets picked out, costume jewellery is so pretty these days. Picked up heaps of bargains so wrapped how far the dollar was able to go for each of us and all up had a great time. Went to the show on Wednesday with our cartons of milk and the kids had so much fun, Trin is our daredevil, she loves the rides and Rainee has now joined her as a daredevil, Zay on the other hand just had us in fits of laughter as when the car started he wanted off and sulked the whole ride when he realised he was on till the end, same as the big slide, he had to go on it and once he hit the bottom he was not going again, thankfully the lady gave us back our ticket. Keelan went on 1 and needed a bucket, not Trin and Rainee though. LOL. I guess the girls are like Tim and the boys like Me, I was never good at tummy turning rides.

I am busy washing new stuff and turfing out old, big bag ready for good will from the boys while I have had the house to myself for 2 half hours this morning, Tim took Rainee to party and others to skate park, we have turned into a full on skate and skooter house here, I think I need the crash helmet more than them zooming past me ducking and weaving. Well better go and get some more sorting done. Enjoy your Sunday.
Trace.
