Round-Up June 2013

On our bookshelf this month....

Tama got some new Little Yellow Digger books and some other cool stuff for his birthday. We had a great time reading when he was sick- probably got through 100 stories!
I have been reading a bunch of Police Procedural Crime fiction by Stuart MacBride after Kieran's English teacher recommended it may not be suitable reading for him. (Kieran has been reading them too and his Basketball book).
Les reads the internet.
Will reads his school readers and Star Wars.
Merenia Saddle Club, HG Wells- Invisible Man

Loving on the box....

MasterChef, Offspring... not much on at the moment.

For you...For me?

Saskia's Birthday Balloons and Cards. Tama's Birthday Presents. Some stationery for Carolann

Germs and bugs and botherations....

Tama got sick with a tummy bug which he passed on to Me, Will, Kieran and Les. The boys and I all have ongoing issues with colds, coughs and such. Will was sick on and off through the month- totally ready for the 2 week holidays in July!

Today was good today was fun, tomorrow is another one...

School swimming. Noah visits for the day. Tama's Birthday. Saskia's Birthday lunch. Merenia's Paces Presentation morning. Tama lunched with Les while I did some shopping. Watching tree trimming down the road. A Mental health day for Will with a trip to Perth Zoo. Merenia's school sports lightning Carnival they won 3/4 games of soccer! Watching Will give his all in Cross Country and not caring that he came last. Playing in the water they were draining off the construction site as they put the drains in.

Yum, yum, yum....

Zumbo's Mirror mud cake. Saskia's Birthday Brunch- Hollandaise sauce yum!! Les' blue cheese Pizza. Les' Salt and Pepper Fish. Macca's Wedges. Tama's cake especially the Philadelphia Lemon Cream cheese icing.

'It was on sale'....

Project Life finally hit the stores- there were a few other scrappy purchases as well. Photobooks I did a bunch for us and the kids while there was a special on. Les got new shoes.

Bugger!

Illness- especially all the boys getting sick just as Tama got better and was all full of beans. My car needed a new radiator and was out for a week- an expensive week! Merenia's Soccer Team and Kieran's Hockey team are on a losing streak- and it's taking it's toll mentally on both teams.

Sorting through my photos from the last few years- with starting digital pages as well as paper- it has messed things up- plus a big break from printing and scrapping around the move and while Tama was little- everything is in dis-array and will take a bit to get back in order- this takes time from the actual scrapping of the photos- yuck!

Danny once again bailed on coming to stay with us.

Hooray!

Getting Project Life finally! Big long phone call with Jim.
Will's class enjoyed having a dozen eggs in their class and hatching out 10 little chicken chicks something they enjoyed over a couple of weeks. Tama got pretty excited the day 3 Rubbish trucks parked outside our house. 
Awesome school reports all around. Kieran got great recommendations for his year 11 courses.

Etc...

Lots of sport- practice and games- it takes over the winter weeks and weekends. Saskia's Birthday wasn't really up to it's usual standard- we need to plan better and find few 'us' places in Perth. Kieran announced his intention to try and go to the Australian Defence Force Academy and do an engineering degree through them.

You know who's good idea this was? Katie The Scrapbook Lady. Go check out her list of tasks to do at the end of each month as well.
