Project Life

Weeks 1, 2, and 3

Three weeks done 49 to go...so far im loving how easy it is and have even got myself into a little routine for doing each week....

sorry about the quality of the pics, its pouring here which doesn't make for good photos.











There are way too many photos here to bore you with individual shots but as you can see we've had a relaxing Jan and are just about ready to get back into school mode...

I'm still amazed at how disorganised I get when there is no real routine, I went shopping yesterday for the first time in I dont know how long....to put it into perspective: we were sharing one roll of toilet paper between the two toilets; Shane was away and I didn't even have cheese for our regular cheese toasty dinner; and there wasn't any long life milk, let alone the real stuff, for my morning coffee.....

It's Aarons b'day on the 10th of Feb and we are having a 'paint party' which basically consists of all the kids getting dressed in white and throwing paint at each other...

so heres the invite I made... we haven't got much time between school starting and the party so at least this is one thing I have pre organised..



and just to finish off... here is the box I made to hold all those cards i did mum and her Variety Bash.

Who am i kidding....

I knew I would never be able to get this photo taking thing up and running for 2013. I think my Project life will be done in monthly pages not week by week.
There is a reason that I dont do resolutions (New Years or otherwise) and that is because I am such a time waster.... I've known it for a long time but get up most Monday mornings telling myself all the brilliant things that I am going to achieve this week only to find myself sitting on the lounge watching the morning shows within the hour, coffee in hand. My brother on the other hand is having a bit of a mid life 'get up' he has recently gone to some strange country to learn to base jump, started skiing in Japan, is running a few marathons this year, while raising money for MS by climbing stairs and has started Yoga. I however am finding it hard to commit to spending time putting on face cream let along getting fit and unfortunantly scrapping is way down the list so you can imaging how my ever growing supply of Project Life stuff is feeling.... and no I'm not mentioning my earlier post where I said something about a December daily diary.

So I suppose before I kick into Jan I better finish up what we were up to in Dec....

Of course it was Christmas where we had all 19 of the Yea clan around here for food and merriment....


Regan got (among other things) a phone which made her very happy....


Aaron got (among other things) a bike which he ignored all day and has continued to do so ever since....


I made us all stand for the annual family photo.... (not our best one by far)


and of course those with santa hats....


some lovely person decided that they would book airline tickets - to Paris no less- using my mastercard.... (and you all know what a nightmare getting that sorted is)


the pool area is finally finished...



- there will eventually be a sun lounge in place of the shark...




and the kids have been using it non stop with friends coming over most days....


So that was Dec. Im going to grab a coffee, browse the internet, chat, play games, wonder outside, clean stuff and oh yeah come back and load up whats been going on so far in Jan...
Till then
