How cute are these printable monograms - found it a bit late for valentines day but fun none the less... I think I'll print out a small copy to frame..
Regan has been stressing out a bit 'cause of all the extra homework etc she is getting in Yr 6 (yes I am well aware it only gets worse) and has had a meltdown or two lately. We are working on her taking things one at a time... she has a habit of looking at everything she has to achieve in the week and then getting overwhelmed instead of picking one thing at a time, completing it and starting on the next....
sooo... while looking through pinterest the other day I found these calm jars.
How beautiful are they???? It involves some glitter glue (quite a lot actually) mixed with hot water, then you put it in a jar, fill with water and add more fine glitter. The glitter glue makes the water thick so once you shake it up it takes quite a few minutes for it all to settle and theory has it, by then you should of calmed down.
The kids loved them and have put them in their special corners of their rooms..... and yes the purple one is for me...... apparently sometimes I could use a bit of calm time too.
Then kids have been making the most of what sunny days we have and getting in the pool.... this will be the last year we will have to put up one of these little guys 'cause we finally got the extension on the home loan approved and the inground pool will be coming this winter .... yeahhhh!!! we are all sooooo excited.
and when the pool doesn't quite cut it we head to the beach.... another beautiful day at Blackhead.
The storms are still rolling in most afternoons, it's really quite amazing, we can watch them heading up the road and over us...
I've been getting some scrapping done lately (baby steps) and here are the kids 2011 monthly pics.....
and a course we will finish of with a pic of the boys.... Talos has been going to puppy school with Shane but embarrased himself last week by trying to eat the other dogs..... he is so not the agressive type at home but Shane says he gets really nervous and scared around the others....apparently everyone came in this week and sat at the other end of the room.....and Talos wasn't allowed off his lead during free play..... I wonder if you can fail puppy school....
