Harry Potter Lego Book Sets

I found these HP Lego book scene sets online and couldn't resist!  I brought one to check quality and make sure it wasn't mini blocks LOL It was an easy and fun build, so I ordered 2 more sets :) I have the last 3 sets currently in transit and can't wait!

Lady Musgrave Island

Clay and the other 11 Reef Guardians from his school headed to Lady Musgrave Island for the day this morning-he was so excited and had been counting down the days :) We were at the marina by 6.30am and waited for all the other schools/ tourists to arrive and get checked in.  It's a 2 hour trip by catamaran to the Lady Musgrave HQ Pontoon.  Luckily Clay took travel meds and didn't get seasick, unfortunately the other kids did :( There was lots of activities- there is an underwater observatory, glass bottom boat, snorkelling, talks by marine biologists and a tour of the island.  Clay got to see 4 different turtles and some of them were endangered.  They had a very delicious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea included.  They arrived back after 5pm with a slightly sunburnt and extremely tired, but very happy boy :)

Thrifty Thursday

Clay & I popped into a small op shop on Saturday morning.  I found these cute earrings s $1

Books $1 each

Cacti dish / planter $3

Sunday last popped into my fave oppie and found cute clay earrings $4

Card

I wanted to make a goth / Wednesday Addams themed card for Tab's birthday - I think this turned out really well. This is my first card for the year! Tab's absolutely loved it :)  I think maybe I should have embossed the background to make the cake die stand out more.

Everyday Moments

Clay is improving every week at pickleball - it's great to see him enjoying this sport.

Weekend catch ups with Ma Ma :)

Lots of rain means mushrooms - not the usual cute ones, but still fun to see growing.

Ice cream after school when we picked the kids up early due to flooding :)

Clay has joined the gardening club at school and really seems to enjoy it.

I had a RDO last Monday - the puppies enjoyed a relaxed day at home with me - snuggling on Craig's chair LOL

Saturday brunch - delcious and a nice way to start off the weekend.

Thrifty Thursday
