Fun in the Playground

First of all ... this photo is for you Daddy! If I can just repeat what Aaron said to me ... please note that it's in a "SHOUTING" voice!! LOL
.
"Look Mummy, a plane, see it? Mummy, see it? Better take a photo for Daddy!" heheeee, so here's the plane (and I have cropped the picture so you can sort of see the jolly thing). He was hopping up and down with excitement pointing ... you would have thought it was going to land in the playground the way he was carrying on :-)

This post is photo overload sorry ... so if you aren't Nana or Grandma and aren't interested in tons of photos of the kids then don't bother looking anymore :-) heeeheee (you have been warned!)

Maddison in her own wee world.

Before she hooned down the slide. (Yes she has to have her hat on because Aaron has his on!)

Aaron spends more time walking up the slide than sliding down it.

I believe he was telling Maddison to do something here (how unusual LOL).

I've made these pics small since there's a few of them ... but this is what the little miss does ... puddles in the fountain, picking out stones and licking them! Uewwwww ... disgusting. Actually I was just waiting for her to fall in .. she didn't though, so no photos (evil laugh). But spot the leg in the 4th picture :-) Elegance!

This photo she had just climbed to the top of some steps and she turned round and looked at me as if to say "well get on with it and take my photo!" So funny I had to laugh.
.
And here Aaron is laughing and pointing at Maddison (probably when she was puddling in the fountain).

This is pretty typical - Aaron chucks his ball in the water then hops, runs around the edge of the fountain.

So of course Maddison has to try that too (thankfully she wasn't doing the hopping though!).

And this is to show the pond of liquid fertiliser thanks to the turtles! Yuck (thank goodness Maddison wasn't licking the stones out of that pond!).

.

Oh and something else funny I have noticed Aaron saying today. He's been calling Maddison and I "Darling". :-) Totally cracks me up. This afternoon he was playing with his matchbox cars and woffling away as he does, then I hear "oh careful Darling, there's a corner there, watch out for the village, wow, so fast". LOL So we aren't that special after all! He calls his cars Darlings too! ;-)

Something else exciting to countdown to ...

Scrap-n-Crop have organised an art retreat with Rachel Greig. 6 awesome classes over 2 days.
.
Woo Hoo ... I think I was the first one to sign up :-) You can too (well it will be easier if you live in KL of course! hehehee) ... check it out here.
.
Lyndon has very kindly offered to babysit the kids for me so I can go both days :-)

I'm still here

but where has the time gone? Can't believe that the first quarter of the year has disappeared and we are 7 days into April already.
.
It's been sort of quiet around here ... haven't been doing much these holidays actually. I've been scrapping a little bit, but not going to share them here. You don't need to see what all my relations look like (let alone the fact that they wouldn't want to be on here! LOL). I've done 6 pages though since I last blogged :-) Getting through that pile of photos. Feels good. Going to stop that though and work on something else now for the rest of the week (when I have time).
.
Aaron's getting very cheeky and if I am on the computer he tells me quite firmly to "get off Mummy, it's Aaron's turn, you go and work at your desk!!!" I think I have a bruise on my jaw from when it hit the floor the first time he said that.
.
Nana - this photo is for you ... Lyndon took a photo of Aaron when he was talking to you a couple of weeks ago :-) (probably telling you all about the "warries" no doubt!) LOL

Last Friday we went out for tea and I decided while we were at the mall to get Maddison's hair trimmed. I cut Aaron's hair myself, but that's fairly easy ... it's just a matter of zooming over his head with the trimmers, if you make a mistake, it's so short it doesn't really matter (heheee). But Maddison's a different story. I am not really comfortable with trimming her hair when she's so wiggly. Although I doubt I would do a worse job than what Aaron did. Here's a couple of pics of her in the rabbit chair. She thought it was pretty neat to sit up there and hang on. Didn't exactly keep very still though! I had to hold her head in my hands at one stage.

So her hair is a little bit shorter, but not much, just tidied it up a bit and hopefully all what Aaron cut will grow back real quick! The hairdresser was horrified heheeee, she kept shaking her head and saying "so short". :-)

.

I'm on the countdown for Creative Escape Works of the Heart in Singapore :-) Really looking forward to that. Just over 2 weeks away.
.

So on that note I will go and sort and print some photos for my next project. :-)

Another LO

I did this last night using Pink Paislee patterned paper and Coredinations cardstock from Kinda Sweet. This is the first time I have tried layering more than 2 flowers. Did it to try and incorporate more colours from the patterned paper. And that HUGE pompom trim ... got that at the start of the year when I went fabric shopping with Mum :-)

Okay, off to give the kids lunch then put Maddison to bed. Aaron has informed me several times this morning that "Maddison is trouble". LOL (actually he's been the one that's been the trouble!!!) But you know how much I like glimmer mist ... well Maddison has discovered my yellow bottle! She gets it out of the drawer at EVERY opportunity ... think I will have to rearrange my supplies out of her reach!

Portrait

Aaron drew a portrait of Maddison this morning :-) LOL Hope she appreciates it in a few years time :-) I might even frame it ... but for now it's on the fridge!

I wrote her name and his with dots and Aaron traced them. He's getting neater!
.
I've been scrapping too ... done a couple of LO's with some Pink Paislee papers from Kinda Sweet I've had in my stash for a while! Again just using up photos in 'that' pile.
.
These photos of Aaron I have NO idea why I printed them. I can't remember the story behind them now! Anyway I decided to scrap them and maybe I'll remember something about it to do some journalling later! (Moral of the story here ... either write it down or scrap them a lot sooner!!)

More 2005 photos. Blurred Aunty's face (sorry Aunty!). Love that cake though ... still got a few more LO's to do from this party. :-)

Okay, off to stop the kids fighting over my craft punch collection! (didn't realise I had that many!)

*Edited to add Basic Grey accepted my 'Capture the Moment' LO from yesterday's post into their gallery :-)
