So much going on at the moment.
Friday night my friend Nadia, came around and we had a night in watching dvds. A few wines - ok...more than a few - and i was very giggly by the end of the night.
Nadia manages the Curves gym i go to but doesn't drink so that meant more for me. we watched the dvd, chatted and laughed - it was nice to unwind and get to know nadia a bit better. she is still "getting over" a breakup earlier this year and she is feeling very vunerable at the moment. she is so much younger than me but loads of fun. i made sure i drank a few glasses of water before i went to bed so my hangover wasn't so bad.
saturday, mark had to work on a project for one of our clients and was away all day so kait and i made the candy cane mice she is giving her classmates as a gift. they turned out so well, she had so much fun helping me make them and choosing the colours that would go together and she can't wait to give them to her friends. i think it is the first time i have picked my sewing scissors up to cut fabric in over 12 mths. had a good look through my fabrics again - it's been a while - i forgot what lovely fabrics i had in my fabric stash, now packed away.
last night after mark arrived home about 9ish (he was so tired after almost 12 hours straight looking at a computer screen, poor guy) and we threw on a dvd so he could chill out - we watched "Pirates of the Caribbean" with Johnny Depp in it - so funny in parts and the special effects were amazing.
matt had three friends over - with all their computers in tow - and they networked them all together and played "Age of Empires" a stratgey game. mark and i toddled off to bed about 11.30 and the boys were all still merrily playing. they think they went to bed about 3 a.m. !!
oh to be that young and energetic again.
and i fed them all this morning - pancakes galore.
today what started out with mark and i weeding one of the small garden beds out the front ended up with most of the front gardens being weeded, pruned, re-mulched and, despite my protests, mark digging up too of my favourite plants and relocating them because he hates the sight of them.
steve, our "across-the-road" neighbour jumped on the bandwagon and helped mark so for a while they were both in my bad books and i sat on the balcony ignoring them singing to me as a sign they wanted me to forgive them. i felt well and truly ganged up on I can tell you.....lol
i am glad we got most of the front garden spruced up though as we are having our annual street party next weekend and it's in our front yard. so there will be a lot less next week to get done in preparation.
after lunch mark took kait off to the local waterslides, the boys went to band practice and i wrote most of our family christmas newsletter, wrote in some chrissy cards, vacuumed, got the clothes in and folded and ironed and had another flick through the SM Masters mag - still blown away by everything in it.
so it has been a non-productive scrapping weekend but productive in lots of other ways. but i have printed up my pics ready for scrapping some calendars for family and friends.
so look out tomorrow - i will be ready and raring to go.
almost time for bed so i wish you all a wonderful tomorrow filled with love, happy times and rainbows.
