Saskia- Together




note to self

Happy- no really.

Remember how I showed you how Will won a prize in a colouring comp? Well the guy above, affectionately known in our house as the 'Package Guy', came and delivered it.


Will was pretty excited.


Especially when he saw his new friend. They sent his picture back which was cool a well.


And despite the really grim look on his face he really was rapt and Miss Blue has joined the night time crew.

Cupboard Love

Did I tell you I got my cupboard?

I love it.
I LOVE IT!

As in, would marry it if I could. It has a place for EVERYTHING. Top shelf is First aid and Medicine as well as everything to do with writing, wrapping, packaging and posting letters cards and gifts. Second shelf Paint, playdough, kids stamps and various paper resources- which I am going to work my way through so I can find the good stuff and throw away the naff stuff.

Third shelf- pens, pencils, crayons, felts, sticky tape, glue and yummy stuff for collage art. As well as our chargers and various things like mending kits, safety plug covers, hooks and screws - all that stuff that normally lands in a junk drawers- all tidy and easy to find.
Fourth shelf my absolute favourite six bins of paper- scrap, good, colouring, collage, stationery, workbooks as well as rulers, stencil books, an atlas and dictionary. And look at all that yummy scrapbooky goodness papers and digital tags- oh my deliciousness- how I love you colour and fun.


Fifth shelf has a box of educational games and flash cards and some more collage/art supplies. Some EMPTY baskets and drawers as well as batteries and calculators.
The bottom shelf is my second favourite it's empty- EMPTY. Hello??

Look completely empty! That means there's room for more stuff, eventually, if we need it-Yay! But we don't have to, so that means if Will wants to drag cushions and blankets and hang out with his toys in his own wee cubby hole he can.

Happy Birthday Sam

I made my brother a birthday card of sorts... I had this concept that I quite liked but it didn't really lend itself to a card format so it's more of a booklet. You'll see what I mean. You need to know my brother calls me old bag and I call him young bag.























I hope you like it Sam! Happy Birthday from us all.

A few of his favourite things



Getting Clean washing dumped on his head.


And then jumping out of it.



Getting up close and personal (I said his favourite things- not hers).

Measuring.

Noy the lady at the fruit and vege shop- the feeling is mutual there.

Photography particularly self portraits and extreme close-ups.

Merenia.


Mocha biking. Fast.

Cooking: real and pretend. Mmmmm bacon!

Reading. And Op shopping for reading material.
