Under 8's fun day!

Today was a special day at Cowboys School. Under 8's fun day. Lots of activities set up and run by the grade 7's. It was so full on and full of fun I only took 2 photos.... At the necklace making stand... Although they spent most of the time eating the fruit loops!! Lol!! We played with goop, bubbles, paints, balloons. On obstacle courses, police car, rural fire brigade truck with hose going spraying water, surf life saving boat! And that was only half of it!! Blue eyes is buggered, can't imagine how the school kids will get thru the rest of the school day!! But it's Friday!! Yay!! Ben is home tonight!! Can't wait :-) xo

Sniffle time.. Yuk!

The cute monster in the photo and his older brother are sharing their snot around the house.. Too ME!! Just slight head colds at this stage.. The wonderful sniffly times of winter are a coming! And with both associating with lots of other kiddies... We are bound to get sniffly this year.. Ugh!

Xo :-)

Ps. I made the bag in the pic as a library bag for mr blue eyes.. He loves it! It's basic, but I had fun!!

I'm-a-Practicing! :-)

Totally in love with my new Mini Elna Sewing Machine!! Getting alot of practice in!! The pillow on its on was my first go. The other pic was today's efforts! I'm getting there, having alot of fun doing it too! That's the best part ;-p :-) :-) xo

Getting my collection going!

Added a tall spaghetti jar to my glass jar collection / new obsession! I need more... Lol.

You can tell I'm a bit of a mixed bag by the handful of jars I have... Only 2 match!! Haha!!

Also purchased myself a basic sewing machine today. Very happy with it. Will be trying to get it going later today after I pick up the boys..

Wish me luck!! :-) xo

Missing my gardening..

We went to Gympie for the weekend, for mothers day and to do some gardening at our house. It was so lovely to see everyone and garden hehe!!

It was mainly weeding, but when I've got no edible garden to nurture up here I miss it!

I came home with a parsley plant, that was planted not long before we left, so far it's surviving ( I've got something to nurture now ;-)) and some (garbage bag full) of basil cuttings.. To show how much I'm missing plants, I just picked all the basil leaves off so I can dry and use them.. Ben thinks I'm crazy, but I'm sure he would have done the same if my dad wasn't around!! Lol oh and some of our ceramic pots.. They are just begging me to fill them with herbs too!!

Today is a rest day, after a big weekend and a 3am wake up to send off for Ben then back up at 6am for the day. Motivation is lacking. Lol. I get the enjoyable jobs done on Monday's!!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! :-) xo

Ps. Photos are of Parsley, bowl of Basil leaves and the leftover stalks from the Basil!!

Pampering!

Cowboy had s special job today, all the preps had their mummies in to school for morning tea and some spoiling.

It started with a hand soak, then hand massages with moisturizing cream. Then a neck, shoulder and back massage. All the while scented candles were burning in the classroom and beautiful music was playing.

Before we left, we all got to sit on the carpet with our prep for some big snuggles while more beautiful songs were played!

Perfect! Love my big boy!

:-) xo

One Day!

There are a handful of these fruit and veg stalls on the way into town. How cute is this one!

One day we will have our own!! Long distant future dream, but it will happen!!
