Harmony Day at School

It was dress up day for Harmony Day at Campbell Primary School.

After a lot of debating, and also trying to teach the boys that you can find a costume at home without having to go and spend the $$$, it turned out that they wanted to go and represent their own country! How sweet is this.... so I remembered that we had the Aussie T-shirts, and baclava's from Aussie Day when we went to Moore River. So, lucky with that, denim shorts, thongs, and some face drawings, it came up brilliant! I have attached a photo for those of you who want a sneek peak.

How sweet is this photo!! **GRIN** The boys also thought it was very cheeky of me what I did too!

My weekend....

Time to update again girls!!

Had a brilliant scrapbooking weekend! I had a friend who came over and scrapped to our hearts contents. We scrapped from 7pm till 1.30am on Friday night, it was just brilliant, the boys and the hubby were all just brilliant. We then woke up the next morning and started scrapbooking again from about 8am, eating and drinking on the go! Really enjoyed it, and was good to get some layouts out of the way. I will share them here hopefully Blogger will let me.

Had to go to a baby shower on Saturday afternoon.. it was okay, thought we were going there for some fun and games, but as it turned out it wasn't.. just a catch up, eat and drink! From 2pm till 5pm, so we both said we should have stayed home and did some scrapbooking, but guess that wasn't the case!

Had mexican for tea that night... Fiona and Faith ended up staying for tea, so had a lot of passing down the table of all the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sauce, sour cream and etc, but it all worked out well in the end! The three of us then did more scrapbooking till about 12 pm that night, so it was good... just wish we could do it more often, so we are hoping to catch up!

Here is three of the layouts I did over the weekend... I have got a few more, but have not yet finished them.

Away from the scrapbooking news... this is how I found my son Tyler on Saturday night. He was complaining it was hot, and blaa blaa, but none of us found it that hot!! So... here it is...

Tyler Merit Award

Well, nothing much has really been happening this week.

On Monday I was rostered on to do Pre Primary Parent Duty. What a morning it was! i was just swamped with kids, some of them I knew, some of them I didn't! They were all over me.. it was kinda cute, and I really enjoyed it. I just had to monitor their computer use, and make sure they all knew how to use the mouse correctly. Tyler just thoroughly enjoyed having me there, so for sure, I'll be on the roster again before I know it.

Also, on the same day, I was told that Tyler would be getting a Merit Certificate. Me just like any other mother was just thrilled and so happy for him, but I didn't know what he was getting it for. So, the keen mother with scrapbooking in her mind, goes down for the assembly (it was a riding day at school, so had to ride my bike back to school at 1pm in time for the assembly (HOT HOT)) with the camera in the hand, battery fully charged and also of course a memory card. Hubby ended up meeting me there, he didn't have any delivery runs on (lucky him), so we were both able to be there to watch him get his first Merit Certificate. When they called out his name, his teacher told him, Tyler get up and get your certificate, and he said, no there must be another Tyler Macri here.. and she was trying to tell him to get up and get his certificate!! He was shocked I think. So, He got the merit certificate for "The Wonderful way you told news, great speaking". So, he was happy with it I am sure. (he's the little one... )

But on the down side, there teacher is pregnant and leaving on Friday. He certainly isn't looking forward to saying good bye to her, she's such a lovely teacher.. He comes home from school every day counting down the days till they say good bye to her. Will for sure buy her a little farewell present for her.

Had to go to Mum's today to make something like 120 green lamingtons for St Patricks Day, as they are doing a trip tmrw on the coaches going to Irish venues for lunch, Irish pub in the afternoon for a friday afternoon beer and etc. So, was glad to see all the lamingtons green and not white anymore!

Have got a scrapbooking night planned with a girlfriend this Friday night.. Can't wait! I just want to get back into scrapbooking!! Been so long since I've completed one, so hopefully I can share some then. And then she is sleeping over, and then going to a baby shower on Saturday afternoon.

Well must sign off.. this is longer then I thought it would be.

Jenelle

Tassie Deb visit WA!!!

Well, the day was great! We started at 10am for morning tea, which then turned into lunch, and I left at 2pm as had to go and drop my son off at my sisters place... so I am sure they were still there till it closed.

If I am correct (WA Girls let me know if I am not) it was probably a first meet for the WA version of the Aussie Layouts to meet. What a great morning we had....

So.. in the photo is Tassie Deb, Marg, Lyn, Tyler with his Richmond Teddie called Richie, Me (Jenelle), Nicole Beltane, Vikki with her 6 month old son Connor, Michelle, and Anna.

I'm sure now that we've met, we've got to know each other a bit more now, we've exchanged phone numbers and I'm sure we will be in touch!

I think Anna or Michelle have got some more funny photos to share.... stupid me.. was soo prepared for today as in the camera department, fully charged battery, get there to take photos of tyler and it was grrr that I forgot the memory cards, so lucky I had my small portable camera in my bag, so I had to use this. Next time someone says remember to charge batteries, how about saying and check your memory cards! Now I have put them both in the camera for next time. So, I'm sure we will be getting more photos to share in the next few more days from our meet with Tassie Deb.

So, many thanks to Mish for organizing the day.... just needs to a be a longer day so we get the chance to chat more, and also to Tassie Deb for visiting the West! Also to some of the girls that travelled the distance, it was certainly worth it to visit us all, we must do it again.

New FRIDGE!!!!!

Finally we get the chance to get a new fridge! Ours was just dying slowly, and it got to the point where the cheese was not cold, and even the boys could cut it! That is when I knew it was time to get a new one!!! Its a Sumsung 621 litres... 2 doors, water and ice maker... (not yet hooked up to the water tap yet!!) I don't usually brag on about these things but I'm just rapt that we've got a new fridge now!! We also got a new mattress aswel but a mattress is a mattress! Got a latex top and its sooo comforty. Got the new fridge on Monday 5th February.

Tyler's 5th Birthday

Tyler turned 5 on January 11th, after many days of counting down how many more sleeps till my birthday!! Because being so close after Christmas, both my husband and I just couldn't think what to buy for him... we ended up getting him a bubble blower, as he just loves bubbles... but we will get him something else during the year when he finds something that he wants.

His birthday was on Thursday, and we ended up going to MacDonalds for lunch, so just that he could have a frozen coke!!! So, both Brandan and Faith were with me, so they got to have a bit of a play, and then home, and then went to folks home for birthday dinner, as my sister and kids were there, so went there so the kids could have a swim in the pool, had a BBQ dinner, ice cream cake and he was happy.

We had a bit of a surprise party for him on the Saturday after his birthday. We called in the BubbleMania in to do a demo of bubbles and etc for the party, but it certainly wasn't worth the $$$. It was good, but I think from my point of view, I was expecting a bit more of bubbles like big bubbles and etc.. but it was just that they putted all the buckets of bubble mix on the lawn and the kids got to play with him.. oh well, guess they had fun while they did, but because it was so hot, we didn't get to use them to the full as the kids were getting hot from playing on the lawn. Will share some photos at the bottom of this post.
