Update ...

We are back ... had an absolutely fantastic time away. Didn't really want to leave actually. :-)
.
Just a few pics of what the kids got up to over the weekend and then some from the last couple of days ... my Daily Album is getting further and further behind! (Ekkkk ... hope to have time after Christmas to do a bit of a catch up.)
.
Watching some ships on the horizon ...

Then discovering the water comes up to our shoes!!! Fancy that :-)

Playing in the sand ... little miss copying little mr!



Coming home on Sunday afternoon the traffic was pretty bad ... we got really held up around a toll gate - took us an hour to go one (1) kilometre!!! Can you believe it!
.
Yesterday we had a relaxing day around home. Had some visitors to stay, so just enjoyed our time with them and didn't get too much done! Had another potluck tea that night at some friends, so spent a bit of time in the afternoon making an impossible pie and 4 (yeah 4!!!) pav rolls. This time I made sure they were all exactly the same! hehee
.
Today was an early start as Lyndon dropped our visitors off to catch a bus around 8am then he went on to work. Maddison has been in a bothersome mood all day, not sure exactly what her problem is but she seems to have had several issues!! LOL She had a sleep in the morning, but didn't seem to make much difference!
.
While she was sleeping Aaron did a spot of painting! He was SOOO excited to paint those wooden Christmas baubles I got a couple of weeks ago. Didn't get time to finish them today, so maybe tomorrow. I've decided I am not quite brave enough to let Maddison near the paint, so these will be Aaron's works of art for the tree :-)
Then in the afternoon we went swimming. Maddison doesn't have swim arm bands yet (I think they are on Santa's list!), but she had such fun with the swim ring on. Aaron was just his usual crazy self bucking around the pool in Maddison's swim ring we got her last Christmas!





Lyndon's back at work tomorrow too, but he's letting us have the car (we have a few last minute things to purchase before Christmas Day!).
.
So that's us. Don't know if I will be back with an update before Christmas, so if not hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Santa is good to you :-) heheee

Here's a sneak peak at what I have done with the Scrap-n-Crop January kit. :-)

The pool looks like fun. I am hoping to get into the water tomorrow if the weather cooperates...
