My bestie has a BLOG!

I'm so excited....one of my best friends, Leesh, has started her own blog! Check it out...and I'm on the first layout that she is showing off! Funny, I have hardly any photos of me with the kids to scrap....I might have to get a copy of this pic from her!

Lots going on with me but I'll fill you all in when I get a chance...not much scrapping happening, too much house cleaning to do today (seeing as I haven't cleaned properly for what seems like forever!) but maybe I'll get something done tonight, we'll see...

Cheers,

Lazy Sunday...

A lovely day today. Started with breakfast at the beach with our little family and Daniel's sister Kaz and little Chloe. Then Daniel headed off to work and we came home. Did some stuff around the house and then my friend Linda came over for a scrappy afternoon. Cooper went out for the afternoon with my sister & family, so it was just the babies and Georgie had a good sleep, so I had a few hours to myself.

Here's what I managed to get done today! A page of Cooper watching Boobah on tv, he absolutely loved this when he was little and would just stare at the screen mesmerised. It was really funny cause on the show it would say 'Boooobaaaah' and Cooper always though they were saying 'Cooooopaaaah. Classic!



And a couple more minis for girls on the SM forum.





See if I can get anything more done tonight....just about time for the bath & bed routine, wish me luck!

Another scrappy day...

Thank god for scrapping, it helps take your mind off things when life just seems to get too hard.

Here's my efforts for today, not a lot but something at least. A page of my cheeky Georgia girl and a couple of mini LO's of me for a swap on the SM forum.







Nearly bedtime, as soon as this baby of mine decides to go back to sleep...

Better day...

Thankfully i had a better day yesterday! Good company and some scrapping got done, hopefully today will be the same.

Here's my pages from yesterday. The first one is one of 1 week old Georgia with my mum and dad. I used a transparency and loved how it turned out.



This next one is of my Mum and Aunty Chris with the two Coopers of our family. If you click into it and read the journalling, there is a special story about why we have two Coopers.



Will hopefully have more scrapping to show for today! Talk later.

Last night's effort...

So I did get more done yesterday arvo/night! Surprise, surprise...

Two pages, I was stoked. A good effort for just an ordinary night of the week.

The first one is of Georgia, cheeky girl, loved this outfit so much! For some reason the little photos are darker, damn Rabbit photo...



The next one is of little Cooper with our two pups, Kiara & Kobe. Just love this photo, always have!



No scrapping to be done tonight, have had an awful day and just need to lay on the lounge and take it easy (for once). Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Cheers,

Fireman Cooper

A quick page I did yesterday arvo/night...very simple but I'm pretty happy with it...I've got that much to do that I can't be fussy all the time! Cooper was about six weeks old in this picture, wearing Daniel's fave outfit that says 'I wanna be a Fireman'.

Its really funny cause at the time Daniel was in the Rural Fire Service but now he's a 'REAL FIREMAN' as Cooper calls him. Cooper talks about going to 'fire calls' all the time and loves it when Daddy take him down to see the fire truck.

It was really good actually...my scrap room is downstairs and so is our rumpus room which is now the toy room and has the Thomas table in it. So yesterday Daniel, Cooper and Georgia played in the toy room while I scrapped...it was lovely and I didn't feel like I was excluding myself from my family by going and hiding in the scrap room!

Lets see if I can get another one done today...I said to Daniel that I'd get through my scrapping heaps quicker if we did that every day!

Cheers,
Sar

So I'm Up...

Told ya....I just knew this was going to happen tonight. Georgia has been carrying on since midnight. Its now 2.38am. Daniel got home from work at about 12.30pm so he dealt with her for a while, but I ended up telling him to go to bed a 2am (seeing as he went to work at 10.15am this morning) and now I'm up. Daniel gave her a bottle, thinking that was her problem...but no, she's still crying. I am doing the five minute thing with her...its a plan the midwife gave me called 'controlled comforting' where you go into their room every five minutes and say goodnight to the 'trigger' (which in our case is cow) then pat the baby, say goodnight and walk away. Its really really hard, but not as hard as controlled crying...I did that with Cooper and sometimes he'd cry for nearly an hour at a time. Apparently this teaches them that we're still here and we'll be here if she needs us, but by going in it makes her feel comfortable enough to go to sleep on her own. I've had to do this once before and it took three hours of constant going in and out every five minutes...but the next night she slept through. Its finally been bad enough with her and has been going on for nearly two weeks of her waking in the night, so I'm over it....trying it again.

At least my ironing is getting done...oh, five minutes, better go...
