my weekend

What a great weekend! Friday night I did my first ever class at Creative edge. It was a mini album with Zina Wright. I did discover that I'm definitely not a fast scrapper though LOL. It was so much fun. Zina is just so dynamic, and a wonderful teacher. You cant help but be inspired by her. I cant wait to get some time to finish off my album and use some ideas inspired by her on other LOs. It was also wonderful to catch up with, and get to scrap with some of my favorite scrapping buddies - Kathie, Mel, Kate, Jane & Michelle, as well as get to meet lots of other lovely ladies over the weekend. The only downfall was the awful headache I developed half way through the class. I wanted to stick around and chat with some of you (especially my fellow DT member Jahnava), but my head was SO yuck that I just needed to leave and get home to bed...so sorry if I seemed a bit vague or rude!

Thanks to Michelle for grabbing the 'compulsory' photo with the wonderful Zina for me...I felt a bit like a 'stalker' getting my photo taken with her after...I'm sure she had no idea who I was..LOL..I guess she is pretty used to that though!

Saturday I headed back down (feeling much better!) to help out. I had a super quick shop at the plaza on the way. Managed to get myself some new bathers - I HATE shopping for bathers but on limited time you just have to make do!!!

I got some gorgeous little red 'crocs' - well targets version of them LOL - for Isaac, and a pair of camo shorts each for the other boys. I wasn't that keen on the camos to start with, but since I have had Isaac wearing some they have really grown on me, and now I just love them. They all had them on yesterday and today - too cute!!!! I got Isaac a little travel booster seat too - it fits nicely in our highchair at home which didn't have straps, and was getting to be a little dangerous as some little monkey discovered he could turn around and stand up in the highchair a while back. It folds up into a little bag and just straps to a normal chair if we are out anywhere.

I helped out in Kates class on Saturday morning, and another of Zinas in the afternoon - lots of washing out brushes and getting little bits and pieces sorted so that the girls could concentrate on teaching! It was a blast and I loved doing it. I also ended up staying for the dinner (thank you Janine!!) and laughed so much my stomach ached all the way home. It was a lot of fun, and really nice to have a bit of time for me!

Sunday was a family day. We had to be in town for an audition for Isaac in the morning, and then went for a tour of the old Adelaide gaol. It went for two hours and the kids managed to get through the whole time - what troopers. Had lunch together and then headed home again for a few hours of doing nothing. Lovely!.

Pulled out all my goodies from the weekend after the kids went to bed and finished the front cover of my mini album while Craig flicked between cricket and tennis on the telly. For those of you who don't know, I just do not like watching sport, Id rather be doing anything else. I did set myself up at the kitchen table, so I could be in the same room as him though...must have missed my man a bit over the weekend then! Not that I actually thought about it till then LOL.

Lastly an update on the walking. He will take a few steps if you stand him up and encourage him lots, although falling down plonk on his bottom is still a very funny part of the game for him LOL. Yesterday he finally discovered he could stand up all by himself with out needing to pull up on anything. Last night he was practicing over and over. I would turn around and he would be up again, and taking a few wobbly little steps each time. I took these pics this morning - I have no idea why all the walking pics I seem to take are in his PJ's either!!!
