holiday fun .... (edited to add my deck of me card)

these photos were taken yesterday ... yes people! it is winter here in QLD ... and my kids were swimming at the beach ... hello! the water was freezing ... but it was a stunning day! my friend is staying up the coast for the holidays so we went up to Caloundra (our favourite place to be) for the day! it was completely spontaneous ... i loved that so much. we had fish n chips for lunch ... it was great! thanks Lindar!

today we got out pretty early again, ended up heading out early ... went to Southbank and had

a hot chocolate and baby chino's with the girls, it was such a stunning morning and so nice down there. they played at the park before we met Kathy and her kids and went to the museum! It was great ... the girls loved it. I am going to try and scrapbook each day of the holidays this week ... so stay tuned!


time to enjoy a relaxing afternoon ...














so its now later .....
kids are in bed, i have just devoured some caramel slice which i made tonight ... so so so bad, cause now it will just tempt me forever! its so good too! one of my best friends is coming tomorrow from melbourne, and its our thing to have caramel slice ... i know she'll be happy!

so i have done my Deck of Me card ... week 26. The prompt this week is Daughters! I have 3 ... i am so lucky! they are great girls ... and i amazes me just how quickly they are growing up. Its such a privilage to be a mother, i think we forget that sometimes .... i guess God thinks i'm up for the job! :-) We take this photo of all of them in bed together, it started when Emra was born ... so its been going for a few years now ... i wonder if they'll still let me take it when they are adults!











I also have done my first page of Day 1 of this weeks holidays .... i loved how it turned out! such a fun day at the beach! will get cracking on todays one now .... i'm on a roll! A sugar high ... he he!
