I have been really busy trying to get our album finished. I only just kind of discovered the best software. I can do most of this in Photoshop, but with 800 images to do, its so much easier with this.
I am so happy with the outcome so far. It will be a work of love when I am finished. I can't wait to have a proper album, a coffeetable book that people can look at when they come over for .. well... coffee mrgreen

In HUGE other news, I am joining Avon. I needed something to do that won't really make an awful lot of money and let me meet people and get out of the house. So at this moment, I have Avon books everywhere! I am really excited about it. It means I can also help at the school with the girls. Oh.. can you see it?? I will be a tuckshop lady and an Avon lady lol

School starts tomorrow. The girls are excited. Especially Liv. Stay tuned for pictures as I will post some tomorrow. Big day. Big stage in my life thats for sure. *sigh* Life does move forward I guess, and I am excited about the new prospects for the future. So onwards for the rest of the year. No doubt it will be busy. Swimming starts again, and touch footy, plus Sam doing all the things that she wants to do.

So, I really should be going, off to bed, because its going to be a hectic morning. smile Please take care of you and yours..

Loves ya

Its 5.09 on Friday morning, Bill and Sam just left for work and I think I am getting a cold sad Every time I sneeze I get a spasm in my back... so not good. Perhaps I should go back to bed...

Yesterday was a pretty cool day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEVI! We took off down to the park for a few hours with an esky, blankets and cricket bat in hand to have some fun. Teena and the boys came too and we had a blast. They have a huge playground for the kids, some of it is fenced so they played in there for a while and Teena, Bill and I ate far too many crackers and dip!
Then we had a feast of wraps with heaps of yummy stuff in them and packed up and went to play cricket for about 2 hours! It was awesome. If I played for Australia (which being a Kiwi, I probably wouldn't) I would have got out for a duck... more than once. I could hit it, but only high.rolleyes

Bill was the best one. Because he used to play baseball, he just couldn't get the bat right, so Levi had to throw the ball, only then could he hit them "out of the park".
When we all got bored with that, Liv and Kye started eyeing off the cut grass and starting making piles to throw on peoples heads. There was grass everywhere once everyone got a turn!

ideaMental image: 4 adults, 4 kids and 1 toddler making a cheerleader pyramid. It was the funniest thing! OMG the boys weigh soooo much. Its not easy supporting 2 junior rugby players on your back! But we made one, more than once. What a goofy looking sight we would have been! It was such good fun, it was 7.30pm before we all walked in the door for cake and ice-cream!
I spent 2 hours yesterday morning (at 5am!) making a cake for Levi, only to leave it in the fridge. I had the candles.... do I get points for that?

It was heaps of fun... and I for one am very sore this morning. I think I shall take my weary body back to bed for a little rest before the kids get up...

Take care everyone..
Don't forget to Live for every moment.. you only get to do this once.. Next time you come back you might be a grasshopper

Love yas!
