Enchanted's Cybercrop weekend

& Nan and Pop visit....


This past weekend we have been so busy... or did it just seem that way cause of the extra two people in this tiny house... it is amazing how this small house, when over full life seems so more exhausting. We had a great weekend... and the kids were stoked to see Nan and Poppy again.

And at Enchanted we had our May Cybercrop... which was great... the challenges were great, and the layouts that the scrapping girls submitted were fantastic. Here are mine...
Challenge 1 - Two different sized photos, 3 different types of flowers and green on the layout... and I used our Tweet Fairytale pack for this particular layout. Challenge 2: Everyone had to scraplift MY Regal Delight layout. Was a bit embarrassed as the photo ended up with an area that didn't have any ink on it... and Justin wasn't letting me reprint the photo so I had to cover it up... which wasn't part of my layouts plan... but it turned out cute.. and Mathew looks so gorgeous... this photo was taken just after Mathew started sitting up and his first time 'discovering' leafs, sticks and dirt!!

My Footy Hero

This morning we went to Footy (Rugby League Footy) in dismal rain... but we have been told by Big Gun Coach Pat (Aidan plays for the Coogee Dolphin Big Guns!! LOL) that Footy players need to be tough and so do the parents... so with rain coats and umbrellas we headed off to Malabar to play Footy... thankfully as the morning went on the weather improved!
The boys in their new Coogee Dolphin jersey's

Aidan My Footy Hero!!
Jokingly we had stated the week before after Aidan's dismal game that we should have given him some Coke before we left home... well this week Justin gave Aidan a glass of Coke... and it did the trick... the sugar rush and the excitment of finally getting his Coogee Dolphins jersey combined to make one great little Footy player... he was totally into it... tackling, running and he even Scored a TRY... well done Aidan.. the enjoyment, excitement and happiness for the game multiplied by 100x and I think he is now well and trully hooked...
On the otherhand... the boy who's DNA is made up partly of Footy... was SOOO sad when he discovered he couldn't play...
(he misses out by 6 weeks... yep he is too young by 6 weeks.. and therefore cant register) he was gutted... and he even had a jersey given to him too by one of Aidan's school friends mum's ... so he completely didn't understand why he couldn't play.. my poor little precious... at least he got to train with the team before the match... I can see tears like this every Sunday hereafter.. until next year at least!!!
So despite the terrible start with the weather we ended up having a great little morning at Footy... Aidan raced home to phone Poppy and tell him about his TRY and we are REALLY looking forward to next Sunday now.
