its in, done, dusted and paid for….and the kids are bouncing off the walls with exictement….

now we just have to move in….and that is tomorrow’s task….

yipee-yi-yay….

so the removal guys have been and now our house looks a bit like this…

and i can honestly say, if it wasnt nailed to the floor it was put in a box!!! Im serious, i had to stop them packing Isaac’s jammies!!!

anyways…my mothers day gift arrived today. Late but i love it…

oh and must say congratulations to some scrappy friends. Mega, huge bling bling congrats to my friend Courtney Kelly for winning Hall of Fame..she is awesome, check out her work here

and to our very own Hebe for winning an honourable mention in Hall of Fame. So very proud of you my friend :0) check out hebe here

tomorrow is the day……will be back with more…

peace and a lotta cardboard
x

its here…..

the new baby in the family.

😉

and for your listening pleasure…..

so this is it….

the contracts have been exchanged, we complete this Friday. By saturday evening we will all be sleeping in our beds in our new house….

what has to happen between then and now is quite incredible but hey….im going with the ‘deny it till you really have no choice’ coping strategy and that might even be when the removal men are standing on the front doorstep with the boxes..LOL

anyways i was going to post about all my gripes for last week because….boy oh boy…last week felt like a very steep steep hill.

BUT….i won’t

just ‘cos

So instead some pics because i am having ideas about scrap pages all the time but i cant do anything about them at the moment for obvious reasons so im just kinda doing a blog sketch…type thing. Not sure how many of these there will be, this little ibook is not a patch on even the dying macbook pro that we had and it is so sloooooow. But the all new macbook is on its way….hooray…Ben is tracking it (yes, i know!!) and apparently it is in Hinkley at the moment!!

anyway…

this one i took when we were all ill on monday…i let the girls have lunch in front of the TV as a bit of a treat, i had an idea of doing like a ‘sick day’ type page

Poppy wearing a clip in her hair although i kept missing it! But she looks such a sweetheart and its her first time with the girly trappings her sister loves so much….havent got an idea for a title yet! But love her look of concentration in this pic too 🙂

and saturday we went to Formby beach which was wild..in many ways..wild weather, wild sand, wild kids..wind + kids = nutty kids (so it would seem)

anyway we love the beach, i love it more so in the winter than in the summer..i know that sounds strange but we had a great time and i will be for sure doing some pages of these pics. Love the daddy/daughter moment that i caught between ben and Poppy, although the light wasnt great..hmpf!!

this one is Maisie rushing a very ‘dead’ starfish back to the sea.

why being a mum is so much more than a just a job….

Its 2am in the morning and you sit and hand wash the little bear that your baby has to have to go to sleep after she has thrown up all over it, herself, her bed, and her pillow and then did the same thing all over your bed…

why?

because it wouldnt even occur to you, not to.
