Wednesday they spent the morning at home doing crafts, playing and watching a movie, before heading into town on the bus to the library so Clay could attend gamers club.

Thursday they went ten pin bowling and played putt putt golf, then made scones in the afternoon.









Friday they caught the bus down to the beach to meet up with poppy.  They had lunch and then down to the beach to play & explore and were lucky enough to see dolphins!

Thrifty Thursday

A few weekends ago Clay saw an advertisement for the annual Lifeline book-fest so we headed out for a look :)  Clay found some books and games. He was super excited to find the Pokemon battle academy - he had recently been looking at it in the shops.  We didn't open it till we got home, so he was very happy to find all the parts were there.




I found this Lego head storage and was pleased to find that its got sorting trays inside!



I found a few books - not my usual reads, but they looked interesting.


We actually don't have the Elf on the Shelf book, so I brought it to put with Clay's elves. I had never heard of the JK Rowling book, so grabbed it.  The Disney book is a bit banged up, so I will be using it for scrapbooking.  Clay was so excited to find the Disney record for me - Im going to frame it and display it with our Disney things.  Total for all of  our goodies $58 :)

That same weekend, on Sunday morning after breakfast we popped into our fave oppie :) There were a few Disney finds! 

Christmas decoration $1


Mug $6



Easter craft kit $2

Tupperware dish $4


Books $2 each


At the Nanango markets last weekend I found 3 books for $2 each - so excited to find some more Fleur McDonald books!


I also found some stamps $2
