Big day here ....

wow ... its been a big day! Emra went off to Grade 1 ... 2 down, 1 to go - LOL! She was so excited, and was totally happy to be there starting her new journey. I however, did shed a tear! I am an emotional mummy .... she's my little friend, i will be sad that she won't be around! Don't get me wrong, i am totally excited for her and know she is SO ready and will grow, learn so much! It will be a different year for me, just having Gianna at home .....

Have had a fun few days ... they seem to blur a bit sometimes! I have some photos to share. We had friends over for a bbq on sat night - i don't know if you all had one of these growing up ... but these were all the rage when i was a kid. My girls just love it, and I scored our one from mum ... so we are bring back the pineapple. Ours is a bit more colourful than when we were growing up ....





one of our friends bought his little puppy over yesterday. She is so cute, and just wanted to play with our dog - full on! Yani was so good with her, as she was seriously just jumping on yani to whole time ... was so cute! the girls loved her of course.


and of course, Emra the big school girl ... i am so proud.
For any of the Y2R girls checking in, i got my box of goodies today. Totally love the new book Heidi has put out called "Just for Looks" its really cool ... very inspirational.


Finally ... Card # 4 for emily's challenge - i have to be honest, i am in love with this .... its cute, its fun and its quick ... sometimes, time is of the essence - i know you'll know what I mean :-)
i am off to bed, i am off for a 10km run in the morning ... onwards to my goal!
