I'm Back

I seem to have got lost in the beginning of this term trying to work out our school timetable and working out how to get all of my jobs done with one less free day a week. The kids are busy with school and extra-curricular activities. Nick has joined Scouts and begins soccer practice this week. He is also back at tennis coaching and Cantori (choir). Penny is enjoying dancing, tennis coaching and swimming. Penny is getting more homework than Nick which she is very annoyed about. I'm hoping her opinions of homework become a little more favourable - real soon!!!
Nick and I haven't been very well over the last couple of weekends. I had a virus with high temps and aches the weekend before last and unfortunately Nick had it over the weekend just gone and had a day off school. We're both feeling much better now.

Over the weekend, we took a day trip to Redcliffe which is on the beach. From the photo above you can see where the RED comes from. We went out for lunch at a lovely Italian restaurant and the kids enjoyed a play on the beach and in the playground. Nick was right as long as we kept him dosed up on Nurofen.

I haven't scrapbooked much lately but managed to complete a LO on the weekend. I have had another LO picked up by a magazine for photographing and hopefully inclusion. Here are the last of 2011 LO's.

Sorry, not a very interesting post. Seems very mundane to me but just wanted to keep you all in the loop. Have a happy week.

PS - Here is a photo of Penny's new shoes that she talked Craig into buying for her. Very blingy, don't you think!
