Did I just say that.... or was that someone else sneaking in here....honestly I don't feel 40... aren't I still just 30... or is that denial talking...
But I do have to admit... that life is just starting.... for us things are on track! What could be better than that... life is good!
But of course, turning 40 does come with some privileges.... I did get spoilt for one thing...
Danny organised my own plates for the 'cruiser... now if the government didn't want to rip us off on stamp duty it woulda been in my name too!!!! Bastards!!!!
And I got a Pandora!!!! woohoo.....
Ok... fine.. it's not a genuine Pandora bracelet, but most of the beads are!!! and Danny's heart was definately in the right place when he got it and for that reason and that one alone I love it... and that's the beauty of these bracelets... each one is personal!
And along with my birthday is Kristofer's...
He's the big 8 now... now where have those years gone....? But this year we also let him have a birthday party and he wanted a treasure chest cake....
This cake was actually one of the easiest I've ever made... Just a loaf cake, iced with chocolate icing, licorice strapping and the top cut and 'treasure' slipped in... easy peasy!
But he loved it.
And for his birthday he got a virtual dog like Jonathan's and he has gone for a golden retriever called Billy.
And what else... well he wanted anything remote controlled..
So what did we get him... this...
It's so real looking it's creepy... and fascinating!
Just as well it's not silent!
And in other news....
Nicholas has now finished hockey for this year and he finished on a high!!!!!
Although his team didn't make the U17 grand final, one of the teams that did were short players for the grand final, so they asked Nicholas to play... and they won!
12 years old and he's won his first U17 grand final!!!
But wait... there's more....
At the junior windup, held the week before, Nicholas was named Association Junior Fairest and Best... OMG!!! as well as receiving Most Valuable Player for his team...
His father and I are so very very very very proud of him!!!!
I just wish it wouldn't go to his head....but I guess he will learn.
And Mum and Dad were down last weekend too.. was great to catch up with them, and we will see them again in a couple of weeks on our way up to Kalbarri and Shark Bay for holidays.
I am so looking forward to that... after the last 3 months of constantly being busy, it will be great to relax for a while!
So there's only 1 week of work left... pack the camper trailer and off we go!
So onto scrapping news...
This weekend was the running of another blind challenge over at S4L...
Here are the three layouts I finally managed to get done this afternoon...
So if you're on the look out for some challenges, go and check out S4L... there's always some great challenges on the go...
I think I've managed to waffle enough now... so have a great week won't you...
