Everyday Moments

I saw this shadow frame for art display and thought itnwoild be perfect for my USA pins. I think I might take the white mat out so I have a but more space.

 

Clay recieved an award for last year /term for Solid Pathways STEM.  He's participating again this year and loving it :)


Craig and I tried a new Asian restaurant for Valentine's day last weekend - the meal was delcious and it was lovely spending some time with just the two of us.


I spotted these Hot Wheels cars at the shops and had to buy them just for the rubber duck- their eas a bit of fight between Clay and I who got it, but since I paid for them - it was mine! LOL


While we were out shopping for headphones for shlchool Clay brought a Disney blind box with his picket money and got this cute Stitch munching.


Monday was my RDO, so Craig took the day off too. After we dropped Clay off at school and Mav at the grommets we had a yummy brunch at our fave cafe before I popped into 2x oppies.  


I found the most PERFECT Dosney Loungefly bag on Ali Express and snapped it up ASAP! All I talked / joked about for our trip to Disneyland was Mickey waffles and then I found this..... 




Bec and Bella stayed overnight Friday on their way through to Brisbane for the Ed Sheeran concert.  Love catching up with Bec - we don't get to see each other that much :(


I got 2 sets of lego built - the typewriter is the last design of the creator set so it's all built now.  The seahorse is the 2nd design of that creator set - so one more design to build.

Everyday Moments

Clay went to a leadership conference on Friday with all the school leaders from the primary schools in our town / district.  He was really excited to go and had a great time.



My brother and family were in town for a few days so we popped over to see them all few times. My great niece Ellie and Clay had a wonderful time playing together :)





Clay made frog hotel at a Bunnings workshop - it turned out really cute!




I've become obsessed with Loungefly bags and loved this Harry Potter I found online.  It is gorgeous and I love all the details on it!







Clay had his 2nd week at pickelball and is loving it - they got some cute stickers.


Tabs brought me this gorgeous flamingo garden ornament - I love it!!  I'm going to keep it on the verandah so it doesn't get damaged from the weather.
