School Holidays - Week 2

The majority of this week was very quiet -Monday & Tuesday Clay spent the day chilling at Poppy's, then Wednesday they headed to the beach for lunch and walk. Thusrday Clay and I were book sick at home :(

Friday was the showcase for the gamer's workshop Clay did last week. They had all the kid's games set up on individual computers and you could walk around and play them all. There was some ideas and the quality of the games / graphics really surprised me!  Clay designed 2 games- Reef Ranger and Pop Up Mania - both lots of fun :)

Everyday Moments

Every afternoon we drive past this large paddock full of kangaroos :)



Craig brought me this gorgeous Disney bag!  It's pretty large, so I won't use it for everyday, but it will be a perfect weekend away bag!




Saturday night Craig and I had a date night to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary  - it was a delicious meal and we enjoyed spending time together.


Sunday night Tabs and I went to see Practical Magic 2 - loved it!


I've had issues with ongoing low levels, so I finally had an iron transfusion. It was a simple procedure, but a bit concerning that the nurse checked my vitals literally every 5 mins for the 20 mins of the transfusion, then for the 30 mins after during the observation period.  I asked the nurse to take pics so I could show Clay - he was a bit upset thining I was having surgery. So far I don't have the energy boost I was hoping for, but fingers crossed it raises my iron levels to a better level.  


My last shenanigan at work was hiding 80 mini ducks (which they are still finding LOL) a fre months ago, so I decided it was time to stir things up a bit again LOL .....






I HAD to buy this light up book nook when i saw it posted on a FB page!  My local store didnt have it - so I ordered to pick up from Kristy's store :)  She brought it down this weekend- now to find time to build it (and the other 7 sets on the shelf LOL).

School Holidays - Week 1

Nanny was feeling better these holidays and looked after Clay - he was so happy :) Monday was a chilled day at home and Tuesday they caught the bus into town in the morning to have breakfast at their fave cafe and run a few errands.

Clay particpated in an awesome gamers workshop on Wednesday & Thursday this week!  They painted thier game controller and designed a computer game - he really enjoyed both day. We are looking forward to the showcase night next week where we get to see and play the video game he created!













Friday was another chilled day at home, then Saturday Landon was in town and came iver for the day :)


This .morning I had a Bunnings craft activity booked, but when Clay say it was a Zen garden he didn't want to do it, so we headed op shopping instead.
