One Hip Chick!!

Some of you know that we are going back to NZ for a holiday in the middle of winter. Well this morning I was trying on clothes etc for the kids to see what I need to get and thought I would try Aaron's old gumboots on Maddison. They were still too big but she pitched such a fit when I took them off her that I let her get some other boots out of the cupboard ... she picked these ones of Aaron's. They are a bit big, but do you think I should let her wear them back home?? LOL

Love those pudgey wee legs ;-)

And the pose!!

Hope she doesn't think she'll be wearing them to bed for her nap!

It's trendy to wear a hat!

Inside and most of the day! On Sunday morning one of the first things Aaron asked for when he woke was his hat! He proudly showed it to Maddison (mainly to make her jealous I think!) and then danced out of her reach. So as you can imagine there was trouble in the camp!!! I found her this other cap to wear (came free with a map book we bought when we first arrived in Malaysia). It has a velcro bit to adjust it at the back and she really makes me laugh watching her adjust it just so then put it on her head.
.
This morning they had some "laptop" time heheheee I just had to take pictures didn't I :-)

Such fierce concentration!

Which one is the "R" Mummy? (he knows, he just asks me random questions like that just for the sake of talking I think! Or maybe it's to see if I am listening LOL)

She's discovered the best way to wear the cap is backwards then it doesn't disturb her vision hehehee

Had to sit her sideways on the couch so the cap didn't keep coming off (the peak kept hitting the back of the couch). She decided she needed her "yum yum" (dummy) again here so had to take a pic of her drawing with her dummy.

I'll leave you with another sneak peek for Scrap-n-Crop's April kit. This one is a LO. (Remember I had to take pics of the kids one night at tea time a couple of weeks ago! :-) Well this is what for!) Oh and I LOVE Tattered Angels Olive Vine glimmer mist. It's a very yummy colour.

Computer has been playing up on me all day today, driving me nuts. So I am going to turn it off now!

.

Nite all.

Sneaky Peek

First sneak peek of what I've been doing this month for Scrap-n-Crop's April kit. I have made HEAPS of LO's, cards and a mini album from this kit and there's still a little bit left.
.
So this peek is of a card I've made and Heidi ... this peek is just for you! See I've used the "snowman"!!! LOL

Notice I've been photographing outside!! Thought I would try it light wise. Pretty happy with how they turned out actually, although goodness knows what other tenants thought if they happened to be looking out their windows down to the playground! They must have wondered what on earth I was doing :-)

Well who do we have here???

Check this out ...

(click to enter then click on the black and white photo, then click launch and see if you can spot who's "famous"!)

heheeee

Not the most flattering photo of him! lol

It's a Warrie ...

When the "boys" go off for the day together!!! ;-)
.
Aaron's star chart wasn't that great a success last week ... Monday 2 stars, Tuesday 4 stars, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday only 1 star each day. But we decided that he would go and do something with Daddy to show that when he does get stars on his chart there really would be a reward. Although on saying that I am not sure how we are going to top his reward from yesterday!!! :-) (And so far today he hasn't got a star! ... but he's asleep now, so he might get one for having a sleep!)
.
Aaron had been going on the last couple of days about going to the Thomas Playground (if anyone knows where that is let us know, because we sure don't!!). So Lyndon said to him they would go in the car and Aaron could tell Daddy where it was and show him where to go. So off they went! LOL They turned right out of the driveway (we usually go left) and headed down the road, round the corner, up the hill (using Aaron's language here!) and they got to a shopping complex where we sometimes go to get groceries and Aaron admitted to Daddy that he just wasn't sure where the Thomas Playground was! hehehee What a laugh.
.
End result was that Lyndon took charge of the directions from there and they ended up at Mid Valley Mega mall. And oh joy ... guess what was there?!!! A Ferrari clothes shop and a real LIVE "warrie" :-) Talk about major excitement! So his Nibs is now the very proud owner of a Ferrari cap.

I don't think he was that impressed that the Ferrari was roped off, but he did get to touch it. And Lyndon said that the security guard had to keep telling Aaron to not touch the ropes! (ha that would have been like water off a ducks back!)

They had Baskin Robbins ice-cream.

Did lots of other things too and got home very late for little boys ... he was totally wiped out ... didn't even stir when I got him ready for bed (oh yeah I did take the hat off!) hehee

Maddison and I had fun too ... we walked down to the Baskin Robbins shop near us later in the afternoon and she shared an icecream and a chocolate blast drink with me (I am sure everyone in a 20m radius could hear her saying "MORE, MORE, MORE" all the time!! lol)

.

I've done some scrapping this week too. Finished all my bits and bobs with the April kit for Scrap-n-Crop (I am feeling very proud of myself actually ... it's not even the last week of the month and I am finished!) heheee

.

Been playing some more with my Basic Grey archaic papers. I have decided it's heaps of fun to have a stash of "matching" papers to play with, cut out bits of this one and that one and it all ties in together. I like :-) Been scrapping some photos of Aaron taken in 2006 that have been printed and sitting in my pile for just a wee while!! I've completed 2 LO's and have another one half done.

This one I used a couple of my new Ali Edwards stamps "today you". Love her stamps.

And this is the little memory album about my Aunty that I made for my cousin. She's received it so I can show a pic here :-) It's an accordian album, so there's pics on both sides. Now I just need to do one for me!!

Okay, off now to tidy up the lounge, there's train track everywhere ... the biggest track you ever did see! Under the couches, round the coffee table, under the coffee table, alongside the bookcase and keyboard. It's jolly dangerous at night I tell you!! Would be okay if it was just flat track, but the bridges seem to be just in the right place to trip you up!
