Not a Good Day.

I had a very bad night last night - went to bed early cos I am sick, but woke up about 2:30 with awful pain in my sinuses and head! Was awake til after 5, could not get back to sleep and could not get rid of headache or pain. Took some panadol knowing full well that wouldn't help a bit!
So, have been to the Doctor's today, I have a Sinus Infection (mmm, I think I knew that) and am now on anti-biotics.
While we were at the Doctor's Surgery, in the waiting room - Tyla and Halle are playing with the toys from the toybox. Halle is crawling about on the floor - a small room so they were both within my sight all the time. Halle crawled up to me, then pulled herself up on the table near where I was sitting, happy, then suddenly started crying! A real high cry like she had hurt herself. I picked her up, just as the doctor came to get me, and couldn't work out what was wrong, then realised she had something in her mouth. Would you believe, she had a B&%$#@ Drawing Pin in her mouth!! OMG, I freaked out. She must have picked it up off the floor or taken it off one of the notice boards. I didn't see her go anywhere near the noticeboards, so am thinking it must have been on the floor! Thank goodness she pricked her mouth with it, or who knows what might have happened. I get all cold and shivery thinking she may have swallowed it! That is just too scary to contemplate! And then I get upset because I didn't notice she had put something in her mouth! And I was with her and watching her the whole time. Things can happen so quickly!
I still feel yuck! S'posed to be playing netball tomorrow, and I don't want to miss out. Will see how I feel in the morning. Tyla is going to a birthday party, so Peter will have to take her! Haha! Her first party invitation since we have moved here, she is very happy about that!

A Quickie........

Hey everyone! :-) Not a real good day today - we are all sick........all 4 of us! We all have the dreaded head cold that is doing the rounds. Tyla didn't go to kindy but Pete had to go to work! :-( He would have been very happy to stay home today. And cos I'm still breastfeeding, very limited on what I can take.
I still went to netball practice - first Semi-Final on saturday. The team we play we have beaten twice and lost to them once. Hopefully we will play like a TEAM and do well.
Am trying to get my head around some scrapping. Have a double page LO started, but I don't do many doubles, and is pushing my boundaries atm! Having a head full of cotton wool doesn't help much either!! LOL.
Anyway, I'm sure we will all feel better tomorrow. Specially if I can make a good start on this LO. Hopefully will have something to show soon.

Photos?

Well, it's taken a day longer than I hoped, but here's some pics from the Mud Puddle Picnic. Can't post too many cos the other parents didn't want their kids pics on the 'net.

Started off the day at the playground.

Then found the mud!!

And these pics, just cos they are cute!! LOL!

And here is my most recent LO. This was done for a challenge on the E2C Blog. (Link on the right). The challenge was to "Lift" a LO, this was lifted from a page here: http://www.pencillines.com/ look for sketch 91, page by Yuko. Not totally happy with this page, a bit boring and plain for me, but met the challenge requirements and suits the theme of the photo.
I have another LO underway for Mum's album, but waiting on some stuff I need to finish it. Will be starting another one tonight and printing out my pics for the camera club meeting - our next meeting is tomorrow. Will post pics when I work out which one's I want! That takes me forever!! Anyways, TFL - come back again soon! :-))

What a Day! :-)

We have had a fantastic day!!
Well, didn't start off to good actually, Tyla wet her bed during the night (hasn't done that for about 5 months - I think she was so tired couldn't wake up to go)! But that aside.........cold but lovely day, no wind and the sun was shining, so walked Tyla to Kindy - Halle just loves going for walks in the pram - she was all rugged up. Then went to the PO and the newsagency - bought the new SC and my Sub for SM was waiting for me. And no bills, Yaay! Then went to the Bakery with a friend for coffee and morning tea. Home for Halle to have a sleep then to the park with the kindy kids. Today they were having a "Mud Puddle Picnic". Started off at the local playground, had a picnic lunch, then moved to the biggest puddle in town (probably about 20 metres long i reckon and quite deep) and they all spent the next hour playing in the mud. And I mean PLAYING in the mud - they were running, jumping, diving, belly-flopping, sitting, squelching, posing for photos ................OMG they had so much FUN!! They were drenched from head to toe, clothes absolutely trashed and covered in mud. And they were all grinning from ear to ear! Time to go, we dried them off as well as we could with a handful of towels, stripped wet jumpers off them and hurried them back to the kindy - about 10 minutes walk for littlies probably. My jumper came off and went around a little girl who was shivering and teeth chattering, my scarf went to another girl, Halle's blanket was wrapped around someone else..........Back to the kindy, quick cleanup and change of clothes (Only one mum forgot to send clean clothes which is not bad - and the kindy have spare clothes on hand) washed their faces and you wouldn't have known any different!
Add to that, they had already been for a walk to the dentist (about 4 blocks from the kindy) and to the library, they were all totally worn out.............Tyla was so tired walking home, almost to crawling pace..........but she had the best time and I had a huge time just watching them and taking photos...........was so much fun! I spent about 45 minutes this arvo trying to rinse mud out of clothes........have got them all soaking atm - Tyla's white singlet is almost white again - gotta love sard's wonder soap!!
I can't put any pics up at the moment, cos I have used up my Mb allowance for the month.. Roll on Sunday............Will put some up then, but won't be many cos of the other kids in the pics.........will try to find some of just Tyla................Halle sat in the pram and watched them - totally in awe I think. Was a bit cold too let her get in there too.
Oh and I still found time to have a quick flick thru the scrapping mags.......

Another.............

.............Submission, another rejection!! Sigh..............you never know, one of these days..................

Some Photos.

Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks.

This is the prize from the SM Forum:

This is the totally cool prize from the escape2create Blog - if you haven't been there yet, go check it out -some awesome ladies and lots of talent!!

These are the bags of Flock I purchased from Gypsy - thanks lovely lady, this stuff is awesome! Love the range of colours and check out the LO below for how it looks.

The Awesome Basic Grey PP's I purchased on my Shopping Trip. Can't show you the rest of my goodies, cos I have put them all away already!! (What's with that??) LOLAnd a pic of the cool goodies I received from Starlight - A gorgeous RAK from a gorgeous Lady. Thanks Amanda! MWAH!

My latest LO. Inspired by the fabulous Scrappermaz and Poppysmum - studied their work for ages before embarking on this page. Has been mostly finished for a while, just waiting for the Flock to arrive so I could finish the title. The word snuggled is chipboard, stamped pink, then covered in 2 layers of the flock. Looks pretty cool I reckon! Very different style for me (notice the photo isn't matted) and it took me ages, but I am very pleased with the result.

And some pics from the week:

The girls enjoying lunch on the front verandah - thanks Nana and Grandpa for the cool table!

Halle playing while Tyla and I created.

And Tyla wearing her creation.
