The last 2 weeks...
Gosh, I seem to have lost my mojo. Could be because I'm CONSTANTLY TIRED due to Luke keeping me awake at nights... or could be just because I'm fat... hmmm.
Anyway, what's been happening. Have done minimal scrapping - just enough to enter the challenges I wanted to most of all and that was it... These are the ones I did:
- Black with 2 - we had to use the colours black, blue and natural (cream/beige) plus butterflies. I love this photo of Paul and Luke - one of my all time favourites.
- Crafty Sketches - sketch challenge.
- The Mosy Scrapper - 2 lots for them. This one was a sketch challenge - love these pics and got Paul to do the journalling. And yes, I'm a shocking wife...I moaned and moaned at him that he hadn't written 'evenly' and it looked funny.
This was the 2nd one for TMS - the criteria was scrapping a inanimate object... Luke's digger! I actually won for this one - YIPPEE!!!
- Physical Education class this week - homework involved 4 or more 'action' shots, using circles and over 10 prods/techniques. Here is the outcome:
- Biology class last week - our homework involved cutting up a photo of a living thing and incorporating a page out of the dictionary... funnily enough, I chose Luke. Here it is:
Other than that LUKE IS BASICALLY TOILET TRAINED!!! Well, for wee wee, not for poos yet and not for sleeps. He runs and says 'Mummy, I need a nappy on. I'm going to do poos" and I go running! He refuses to think about doing it in the potty or toilet, and I won't pressure him... unless he's still doing this at 4 years old!! LOL. Anyway, he's feeling VERY grown up. Daddy took him out on Saturday and they came home with some little boxer shorts for him... just like daddy's... and he's allowed to wear them at weekends only. Feels very important and has to show everyone - half the time he's wandering around without his trousers!!
Went out on Friday and bought myself a spin bike - have finally decided have to do something about the weight that has gone on over the last 3 years, so am going to get back into 'spinning'. Paul had a minor heart attack at the price, but it was all worth it coz the guys in the store told me I was 'naturally beautiful' and didn't look my age, so it was all worth it. I'll probaby go back later this week and buy something else, just to hear their sales spin!! LOL
Luke has been sick most of the weekend with temperatures, coughs and runny nose, so Saturday night he slept with mummy in the spare room - well, he slept and mummy lay awake, in the most uncomfortable position (he insisted mummy 'hold my hand') and terrified to move, so managed to get a sleep Sunday avo - thanks, Daddy!
Today we went swimming and Luke didn't need mummy AT ALL!! He had moved up another class this week and I had been 'prepping' him well in advance. I was so proud and so was Belinda, his teacher... and he couldn't have grinned any larger!
Oh yeah, and out of all the misery of the last 2 weeks, I managed to win the Little Shop of Sketches Birthday LO challenge so am getting this amazing pack of goodies sent to me!! Thanks, Tanya!!!

What a weekend!!
Well, it's been a very loooonnnngg Queen's birthday weekend, and not just because there's an extra day off work!! Started toilet training Luke - what a nightmare. He WANTS to wear underpants but just doesn't want to tell us PRIOR to going toilet - he's "too busy" living his life according to him! So since Friday I've been putting him on the toilet every 25 mins otherwise he pee's his pants. Plus this means we're house-bound and anyone who knows me, knows I can't handle that for more than a day at the most!!
Friday night I did this LO for Scrap with V - you had to use brown and white only
Managed to get out on Saturday though... so exciting too... I did the grocery shopping!
On Sunday Paul was on coastguard duty so Tracy & Aurelia came over and relieved me of entertaining Luke by myself so that was LOVERRRLY. Tracy and I managed to get some scrapping done and I completed a LO for Crafty Sketches May 15 challenge:
Then on Monday we had Lisa, Greg, Keiran and baby Renee come over for brunch. Had a lovely time catching up - had missed Greg's 40th party so this was a make-up session. However, no alcohol consumed (much to my shock!) but he did like his drinking hat that we got him, so a session in the near future may be on the cards.
Got on line this avo and found out I have won an awesome prize from Scrap Review - one years membership to Clickin Mom's - a photography website - so I can't WAIT to go and learn new skills, as my photography needs major improvement!!! So huge THANKS to THE SCRAP REVIEW!! You've made my weekend!!
