Allergies, sleepless nights, ebay and yay John Butler!!

With spring just around the corner and this gorgeous weather which has began I have been taking the kids outside alot to play - which they love to do, but on the down side Bethany's allergies have sprout again, just as we thought she may have outgrown them, she is scratching herself so much lately and at night has been waking up squirming from being so itchy, so sleepless nights have started up again and tiredness and exhaustion has been my friend again! plus my hayfever has started as well!

my goodness ebay! what a mistake that has been for me to delve in to! in a week I have bought a Billabong top and 2 pairs of Billabong jeans! yes I love the surf wear brands! although Im beginning to wonder if Im getting a bit to old for these brands now! and how frustrated did I feel when I was outbidded on another pair of jeans - frustrated enough to bid and win another pair! lol! better stop talking about this for fear of incriminating myself!

We had a busy weekend, with Phils birthday on Saturday, Mark at footy on Saturday night, Church then my footy on Sunday then Emily took me to see Josh Pyke and John Butler Trio, John Butler is just amazing to see live, I have seen him perform at one of the Big Day Outs a few years ago but his performance was just stunning on Sunday night, I took some photos on my NEW! fuji, but I left my memory card at home and I cant figure out how to transfer photos from just the camera

Ill come back later with some photos, we are trialling photoshop and I cant figure out how to resize photos through that, poor Jacob has to have a tooth pulled out today, I never got around to changing the appointment as I didnt realise mum is at work today so I have to take the girls in with me! - that will serve me right, I did make this appointment 3 weeks ago so I have had plenty of time to change it!

been a while!

I have been a bit slack with my blog lately - sorry Em!
We have all recovered from the flu and its taken me all week to catch up on all the housework and shopping!

Mark and I went out to tea last night with his company, it was a nice night and it was great to get out of the house and enjoy some yummy food, it was a banquet style meal which was finally served up at 9pm - I was STARVING by then, after having bacon and eggs for breakfast and skipping lunch knowing we were in for a big tea I saved my hunger for tea but gee it was a long wait!!! I wasn't brave to use the toilets as one lot was a unisex one and the toilet doors were clear glass until you locked the door then changed to a frosted look, another lot of toilets had fish in the cistern so when the toilet was flushed the water for the fish would disapear then rise up again! it was a big place - even had a driving range for golf players, there were 16 of us and the bill was in excess of $900, its good that his company does things like this for them, after tea we went to the bar for some drinks and finally got home at 2am, my poor mum was looking after the kids so thanks mum!!

Well not a lot else to rant about, I signed up on ebay yesterday and am hunting down a camera, what a huge world it is in ebay lol! I wasted a good couple of hours yesterday on it just looking! - probably not a good idea to join! lol!

I better get some housework done before I sit down and watch Port play, then of to mums tonight for tea while Mark goes to his footy, more yummy food for tea tonight!

sympathy please, I'm sick!!

Over the last week all of us has been hit with this awful flu, with Mark and I the last to deal with it, hes been home from work all this week, I feel so tired and unwell and having to deal with a toddler and a baby on the move is very tiring!! Jacob went back to school yesterday after nearly a week of and Bethany is returning back to her stubborn self lol! she was the sickest one, on the day I took her to the docs she spent all day on the lounge laying down poor thing, so anyway hopefully in a few days we will all be back to our normal healthy selves!

On another note heres another layout I finished a few weeks ago, I love this photo of Jacob on our wedding day - (Mark and I), Emily took this of him after he had had enough of the day and all the photos that were taken!

Well I think I need to rest and put my feet up, the kids are all in bed and all I feel like doing is going to bed too!

layouts to share

here are a couple of layouts I finished a couple of months ago, I am still having trouble resizing images at the moment, so I will have to seek advice (again) from my better half (Mark) lol! The 'angel' layout is Ella positioned on a pile of towels - an image I tried to recreate from an Anne Gedes picture (emphasize tried!!) I also used rub on angel wings and the journaling is the poem ' Where did you come from baby dear?'
The 'sweet heart' is Bethany, I just used left over scraps with this one.
