Everyday Moments

I built the Haunted Mansion set - love it!

I brought 2 new acrylic brooches to add to my collection :)

Another lego set built - HP Monster Book of Monsters - so cool!

Craig brought me this very cute Disney Boutique bag from work.

I was disappointed to find the Vegas sign lego set was micro bricks (not mini blocks like I was expecting) - they are so tiny and fiddly!  The instructions are really hard to understand too.  I have built about half of it, but I think I've missed some steps, so will have to rebuild.

The new series of Lego minifigurines are out and they are animals! We used the minifig app tp get the 2x we wanted - bunny for me and Clay got their frog.  We are going to buy a few more to add to our collections.

School Holidays- Week 5

Another quiet / chilled week at home - readings, swimming and riding his crazy cart.  Nanny and Clay did pop into town Friday to run some errands, before Craig picked them up.  He took Clay to get his new senior school shirts- can't believe he's grade 6 this year!  They then dropped Nanny home. 

Saturday morning we went to a BMX open day - Clay had a ride around the track with the other kids, but didn't think he would enjoy it as a sport / hobby.

We also went to a pickleball open day in the afternoon. Clay had mentioned wanting to play tennis, but I thought pickleball might be a better option.  Clay totally loved it - looks like we found his new sport :)

This afternoon we met up with Tabs and Torrie at a skate park so the kids could ride their crazy cart around. Afterwards we had dinner together - it was a great way to finish the weekend.

Thrifty Thursday

Saturday morning Clay and I popped into an op shop we rarely get to and found some fun goodies.

Clay was so excited to find a casette tape for 50c - I pointed out he doesn't have a casette player, but he insisted on getting it cause "It's history" - yes that made this mumma feel ancient LOL

Next we found this large hardcover book for Clay $1

Some acrylic blanks for crafting $3

Books by fave authors $3 each - I was especially excited by the Fluer McDonald one - it's the one I missed at the last op shop and even better, it was cheaper!

School Holidays - Week 4

Clay and Nanny went to see the new Spongebob Squarepants movie- Clay was a little disappointed in the movie, but enjoyed his morning out. They went to town a few times to run errands and had lunch.  There was reading, building Lego, creating wooden train tracks and swimming.  Thursday nanny had to go home for the day, so Clay and poppy spent the day together. This morning we finally got in and spring cleaned Clay's room- it was a bomb-site and well overdue LOL!  We hung up a new shelf to display some of his lego and other treasures, put up some hooks for his Disney ears, medal from the cruise and popcorn bucket & sipper and hung up the wooden footy team clock uncle Chris sent him.

Everyday Moments

Now Christmas is over I can share a present I made Craig.... I saw a similar pic on a Disney FB group and knew I had to make one for Craig!! I used AI to change the pic to include Craig on his "fave" LOL Disney ride "It's a Small Ride" bahaha He found it as funny as I did :) Even funnier one his co-workers gave him a small music box that plays the song - we are so mean to him LOL

One of my Christmas lego sets :)

Craig found me this lego set - I didn't even know it existed!!  I loved the ride at Disney and am a fan of the movies :)

I found out the painful way that I'm NOT allergic to wasps LOL I didn't realise they were on the fence and I was banging a dog blanket on it and one stung me above my eye - no bad reaction luckily!

Clay found this chicken nugget ornament on sale at Spotlight and I couldn't say no Lol

I found some amazing craft stuff on sale too.  

I can't believe the die & stamp sets were each marked from $40 down to $12!

I also brought this nutcracker in the post Christmas sales $5.

I'm still slowly sorting amd decluttering around house and decided to tackle the bathroom vanity. I brought the baskets from Reject shop - no measuring, just guestimated LOL The pipe meant I couldn't fit the 3rd basket on the top shelf.  I took everything out, wiped all the shelves down and threw away a bin full of stuff!

While I was sorting I did the little shelves next to the vanity and decided to use the pot plant I recently brought from the op shop to store my hair brushes.

Craig was back in Rocky this week for work and stayed in Rocky (instead of Yeppoon) - this was the view from his room.  The trees were full of noisy white cockatoos.
