I Caved!

I finally gave in and agreed to let the boys do Little Athletics. We had to be there at 8:30am and it didnt finish till 1pm. It was bring a friend day so they wouldn't let me register them. I'm a bit annoyed cos that means there times don't count and Caleb came 3rd in the 800 metres. He also signed up for they relay team which means we will have to travel for him to compete. Sometimes I worry bout this child LOL he just doesn't stop. On Thursday he ran from Jyes kinder to home. I agreed cos I really didn't think he'd do it. It's about 3 - 4 kms and he ran the whole way! He then wanted to run back, I said no so he asked if he could run to school and back it's about a 5 min walk at the end of our street. He also played cricket on Friday night for 3 hrs and still got up at 7am to go to athletics. He bowled the teams first wicket and won a voucher from Apco.
Very proud of Jye yesterday for a child that is lucky to walk to the car and EVERYTHING is an effort he ran the 70m then the 100m. He is in the under 6 age group and they are so cute doing all their events. I didn't think he'd do it to be honest but he is all keen to go again next week. So we will see. Will take photos next week when I am allowed to buy them their t-shirts.

Think it's time for an update!!!

Everyone keeps asking me when am I going to update my blog. Since we were all sick and the goings on with my lovely neighbour I just haven't felt like it.

We have been back to the orthodontist to get Calebs plate mind you when we orginally went to pick it up the said they didn't like the way it had been made so they had to take another mould. We picked it up on the 29th September but I'm not confident enough to let him wear it to school yet maybe next week. At the moment he wears after school but he's not allowed to wear it playing sport, it's a bit hard when every waking minute he doing just that. He wears it at night the first couple of nights he would wake up with it in his hand!! And all weekend.

I completed all the Ready Steady Scrap Challeges at Crafting In Style. hey will announce the winner in the next couple of days. It was so interesting to see what everyone came up with using the same ingredients, all the layouts were so different.

On Saturday Sharni, Tracey and I went to Kaisercrafts new shop must say its a bit awesome so HUGE. Lots of new stuff. They are also having a 100 to 1 scrap on the 8th November a few of us are going to enter. Dont think I'll get very far but it will be fun to join in. Check out the Kaiser website for more details

Went Chandon Crafts Lend A Hand for Leuakemia crop day had a great day so cool to see all my scrapping friends there Megan, Sharni, Katy, Tracey and Jenny. I also entered the layout competion and won 3rd prize so that was pretty cool.

Spice It Up Game

Tonight on the CISters forum they are also running a game you have 10 questions to answer. I have answered all bar 1. Cos I don't how to if you can google a picture and it tell you what it is. Anyway was wondering if anyone knows what this is.


CISters Challenge




Crafting In Style are running a Ready Steady Scrap Challenge. It runs for 6 weeks so pop on over and have a look. This is my take on recipe 1. We had to use 1 12x12 pp, 1 12x4 pp, 1 12x2 pp, 8 Flowers, 6 Bling, 1 Journal spot, at least 2 sticker alphabets, 1 pce ribbon 12" long , 1 pce ribbon 3' long and 4 various sized photos. At first I thought my pics are to big how am I gonna fit this all on one page but it came together quite well and I really like it.


They are also having a cyber crop at 7:30 tonight I've never done a CC before so I am looking forward to it. They have been dropping hints for the last few days so i can't wait to see what they have come up with.
