Weekly Challenge

Check out the weekly challenge over at the Scrapsidaisy forum... There will be a new one there every Friday to get your scrapping mojo going for the weekend.... Here's my take on it...

You wouldn't believe it ....

Guess who just came home missing another tooth?
Guess who managed to arrive home with said tooth?
Guess who's mum insisted on a photo because she had just been blogging about his last tooth?
Guess who obliged his mother and walked over to the shade for said photo?
And guess what happened?

Yes he dropped the tooth in the grass
No we couldn't find it
Yes I did exactly the same as yesterday (that drawer has never been so useful)
No he didn't notice it was a front tooth

And yes all is good in the Yea household tonight.....

Forever backdating

I'm not doing a very good job at keeping this blog up to date, for the last couple of posts I seem to be telling you what I did last weekend or the one before that..... I apologise for that but I actually have some up to date news today ....

Aaron lost one of his teeth at school yesterday and then he actually lost it ... search as we might it was not to be found .. I am not a sentimental person, I don't have my wedding cards or those given to me at the birth of my kids, I have no teenage memory box or childs first curl, but what I do have to my surprise is a few loose teeth at the bottom of my undies drawer.... so to advert the inevitable panic I was able to grab an old one from my stash (not a true match, but he didn't seem to notice) and pretend that I found it in the bottom of his bag...
All was well in the Yea household last night..


Now of course on to the events of late.... Our great friends the Moodys came down to spend a glorious, relaxing weekend with us ..... all the kids get on well as do the adults... We spent many hours at the riverbank as well as giving their kids their first ride on a motorbike. I really liked this picture so had it blown up quite large and sent it off to them ..... hope they like it.











How glorious is this sunset.... one day I will learn how to properly use my camera in the manual mode so I can get better photos when something like this presents itself... Maybe a new years resolution ... don't laugh it will be here before you know it..

And as for scrapbooking ....



(sorry about the horrible photo)

and lots of little bugs made for a embellishment swap over at the Scrapsidaisy forum

Happy (belated) Easter ......

We had a great long weekend filled with down time, caravan maintenance, family and chocolate.... hope yours was good as well.....



If you can't quite tell from the photo Regans hat is a giant papier mache Easter egg which actually looked remarkably real and Aaron has gone with the ever so popular paper ears ( this year all the hats had to be made from recycled goods)

Aaron was very much into Easter this year and even decided to write his own Easter story ....... (hole was the only word he needed help spelling)




We also spent some time on the bikes and Aaron got on the motorbike for the very first time .... two days running ...



nothing like a pair of girly socks on a motorbike ... you've still got to look good..



and to top off a great weekend there's nothing like a few blackened marshmallows by a bonfire ..


and now into the files of the weird things my kids can do ......
Aaron can turn his tongue all the way around both left and right ....



and to Regans great delight ,.;... she can do this ...



how delightful are they ..... this is how they felt after Shane and I wouldn't let them go on the rides at the Powerboats last weekend....



These are the girls I work with ... the new bosses have taken the van off the road so it was Amanda's last day on (unfortunately) Apr 1st .... as much as she annoyed us all with her demands for this and that (due to her short timespan in the shop to reload and get back out on the road) she will be sorely missed. ..




And as for scrapbooking .... The following Lo is one I've done for this months design team at Scrapsidaisy ..... I'm not normally a pastel girl but the new Easter papers really suited this photo ( which was taken in a car with a mobile phone)



and going to my backlog of photos I've finished my first LO of our newest members .... Mack and Dark Turtle .....



and a card I made for my Niece whos b'day I was a tad late for....



Till next time....
