Everyday Moments

I finally started building one of the Creator sets I got for my birthday.

The current minifig series are too cute to resist- I brought 3 more LOL

Chris surprised Clay with an amazing parcel in the mail - a box full of footy membership merchanise.

I'm making it a goal this year to spend less time mindlessly scrolling and start reading the ever growing collection of books on my shelves.  So far this month I've read 4 Fleur McDonald books.  They were all a great read and I'm looking forward to reading more.

I started building a new Creator set and needed to open all 5 bags - this baking tray was perfect to be able to sort through all the pieces.

First design from the ocean themed series built - crab and a cute jellyfish!

I was spoilt with "just because" flowers - how cheerful are these sunflowers?!

Yesterday we babysat Torrie while Tabs cleaned the unit ready for the move out.  The kids played on the VR headset, then we took them to lunch and grabbed some groceries.  The new Woolworths brick promo started - so we let the kids get a mini brick set each.  We all built lego at the table, then the kid's went for a swim.  Tabs arrived just as we were all having waffles - fun finish to the day :)

The 2nd design from my birthday Creator set.

Decluttering - Games Shelf

Next area to declutter... the games shelf in the loungeroom. 

I found this perfect sideboard online from Kmart (and ordered a matching hutch). We put it together last weekend.

I sorted through all the board and card games.  I put the small / card games in the thrifted basket to keep them tidier.

I've started to put some of my Harry Potter stuff out to display - still working out the set up.

I decided to take my HP Funko Pops out of the boxes and put in this Kmart display stand - it takes up so much less room :)

First Day of School 2026

First day of grade 6! Clay is now a senior and he was so excited :)

School posted a welcome back post on FB with the Pricipal and 4 school captains.

Cricut Creations - Back to School

Back to school time means the first of 2026 cricut creations!

Name stickers for the lunch box and drink bottle.

Stickers for the book covers to personalise them. I made 4 different designs in different coloured vinyls or on different coloured covers.

School Holidays - Week 6

I think the final week of holidays was the busiest!  I had a RDO Monday, so mum and Jack came over in the morning for a swim. Mum headed home for a rest after lunch so the boys spent the afternoon playing board games, playing VR and the Switch.

Nanny couldn't come and watch Clay this week, so Tuesday and Wednesday he spent the day at Ma ma's with Jack.  Thursday poppy took him down to the beach for some body boarding and lunch.  Craig got back from Rocky Thursday, so we went out for dinner. Friday he went to work with Craig for the half day. He scored a cardboard box from my work and so far has made a guitar- I love him being creative. He also read 2 more books - that makes 6 for the holidays :)

Saturday we headed to Elliott Heads- the boys did some body boarding at the ocean side before we headed to the river side where Tabs and Torrie were stand up paddling. We all had a swim in the lovely cool water for about 2 hours before having fish & chips for lunch.

Sunday we met up with the Tabs & Torrie tp buy some Lego minifigs - we caved and brought some Lego sets too LOL  After we grabbed the last few back to school things on Clay's list- we picked Jack up so the boys could spend the afternoon swimming, playing the VR headset and watching a movie together.
