Latest Family News and Challenges

Easter Monday we went to the sales and got Luke his first bicycle (with training wheels!), which he loves... as you can see from the SMILE on his face. After spending the morning at Aurelias he decided he wanted a 'flower' helmet like Aurelia, but when we went to the shop later that week, he was 'sold' on the blue one with flames... just like his bike... and Daddy is very relieved!! LOL. He also got a "Bob the Builder" bell to ring, and ring, and ring...Then after the shops, we went to Tracy & Robin's for lunch (it was brunch, but when it's served at 12:30pm, it's lunch in my books!!) and while Tracy cooked (which was DELICIOUS by the way!), I painted the kids faces. Aurelia asked for Dracula, which of course, Luke then wanted so here they are - although holding flowers it's sort of takes the edge off the scare!!And while the sun was still shining, Daddy snapped this pic back home of Schnuggles the Cat, pretending she's the Queen of Sheba on the outdoor beanbag... what a life!!!??!?!One evening, just before the rain hit, Paul & Luke hopped in the spa to get lovely and warm before dinner, but then it started spitting. And silly Mummy suggested an umbrella, which Luke LOVED the idea of, and Daddy didn't, but Luke won so Daddy has to hold the 'butterfly' umbrella and Mummy couldn't resist taking snaps for memories sake!! Nice photo of the rain coming in on the horizon...Paul does volunteer coastguard and Luke loves anything about it. So when Daddy wasn't wearing his hat,Luke snapped it up to wear while watching TV... from the coffee table of course! No seats for him!!And here are my latest 'challenge' scrapbook pages. It's for Scrappin Patch and the theme was KISS (Keep it Simple). I love these photo's of Paul and Luke... and I made Paul write the journalling so there would be part of him in Luke's book... This one we had to use the word "Chilly" in the title and luckily I found these old photos of Luke on his trampoline when we bought it last year. Here he is testing it out...

And lastly a challenge page for Scrap with V - a sketch layout. Not my usual style and SHOCK HORROR... Luke isn't in the photo!!! No, it's Nana & Grandad.
