Another two weeks have flown by....

The second week of the school holidays went just as quickly as the first...

Chloe played in the badminton tournament and won two trophies...so she was very pleased with herself.

Georgia went to a friends house for a sleep over and Jasper had a play day a one of his friends house.

Other than that we stayed at home and took it easy.

Look at this tired little chic...

She was so tired she went to sleep in the shopping trolley at the supermarket...all they staff thought is was so cute..

Yesterday Chloe played netball in the Under 12's Lightning Premiership. The team was made up mainly of Girls who don't normally play netball. They did not win any games but they all had a fantastic time and gained lots of experience

Here she is with coach Carmel

Up and coming netball star...

I have a new fav game on the wii...its Guitar Hero III....anyone who has played this will know how TOTALLY addictive it is....

This is what Velvet got up to when I was paying Guitar Hero....luckily it was only Corn Flakes!!!

Tomorrow I am playing in a Badminton Tournament...it will be my first tournament, I don't think I will win many games but I know I will have a good time..

Is anyone else thinking of going to the Heidi Swapp Creative Escape 08 in Melbourne??? I really hope to get tickets, from what I have read it sounds like it will be fantastic...

Speaking of scrapbooking I am going to the "forever Always" retreat in September with Briony....She went last year and had a great time so when she was thinking of going again she asked me if I would like to go and I said yes.... Craig will be having a few days off work to look after the kids and hopefully Velvet will be totally weaned by then...if not 4 days without me will totally wean her....

And just to finish off....look at these silly lettuce heads......

No layouts to share this today,

I also have been tagged/nominated by this gorgeous gal...Mardi but I have run out of time so I will try and do it next time

Take care and chat soon

Love Cherie xx

First week of the school holidays have already come and gone, so we can now check off the dentist for 6 months and the kids seeing the chiro for another few months.

This week Chloe is playing in the Badminton tournament and I am on umpiring duty in the afternoon so that will fill in one day and hopefully we will just stay home the rest of the week and have a rest.

Last week I have a visit from one of my oldest friends. We went to primary school together for a short amount of time then we were in high school together and have stayed intouch ever since. It has been 12 months since I seen her last but it always seems like only yesterday....we always laugh and laugh...so much fun...Thanks Kylee, hope to see you again real soon xx
