sean braces

so this happened on the 12th of April.

Thank you to the staff that were more than happy for me to have the camera ther.

By that night his teeth were pretty sore and troubling him. Yogurts and soup was all that Sean could tolerate. 

The next morning was supposed to be his first official colts game now that he his colts age. But he was in all sorts of bother with his teeth. They were just driving him to distraction. The coach was notified and Sean didn't play. Just as well, as he copped a ball to the jaw in the changerooms during warmup and that was not wonderful.  He ran the waterbottles so he was still involved.

It was a week later before he could just about bite a thinly sliced carrot and brocolli was still not happening.  Toast is back which he's pretty happy about. Apples are cut to bite size pieces.

L'Anse

School holidays are here. Yeeehaaaaa. We reeeelaaaaax a lot. No alarm clocks. No school buses. No lunchboxes. And the best bit is having Annie home from collage. My home is complete.

I've been wanting to get to L'Anse Tumby Cafe on a Saturday morning for their pancakes for a while.  They are very very popular and L'anse is super busy.

I've been told the trick to ensure that we are in time for pancakes as they sell out so quickly.  When you book your table, book your pancake order too. They produce only a certain number of serves each Saturday, and this ensure your serve is held for you.   And after today I can certainly vouch for both reserving the table and your order. We met a friend who happened to be there too and they weren't able to have their desired pancakes as the cafe had already reached their quota. But we did receive ours.

Today's creation was Matcha Pancakes. And they were scrumdililumcious.

today you are 6

Just gotta love when a paper, washi tape and embellie matches the clothing exactly.

those summer feels

inspired by Stefanie on the Studio Calico blog.  I just had to do a his and hers and I had the perfect surfing pics for it.  

one happy day for each falling leaf you catch

I knew that leaf punch would come handy some day

happiness is enjoying the little things in life

dancing leaves

This one is inspired by the orange leaves I had in my stash. Good ol Prima. I've been binging on Game of Thrones for the last little while in the lead up to the launch of season 8 so this one has been sitting on my desk for a bit longer than it should have been.

that's my boy

See that faint X on his hand. That was from the first day of the month and if you have it on your hand you can't get done for 'pinch and a punch, first day of the month'. Obviously it took awhile to wash off, but I used that faint symbol as a jump off point for the backing paper and some of the embellies.

Large photo layouts. What's not to love?

Using a recent Paige Evans cutfile made this one so easy. No journaling required.

This was the beginning of your musical journey and playing music just clicked with you. 

just hanging about

Ephemera from various Cocoa Vanilla Studio Collections. I love how most collections can all coordinate together. 

in these moments time stood still

It was so great to see Mr S be rewarded for his work at school, and the homework at home to work on his handwriting. circa 2012

splash in tumby

 How much do we love Tumby Bay??   We love Tumby Bay ....this.... much

immersion

the journaling says it all.

just hanging out

Lots of different products on this one, but it all stemmed from the colours in the photo and the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection

honeymoon

His and hers layouts for their albums. While creating this first one I had a little accident which meant I had to print it out again and fix the typos that I hadn't seen first time round. So the first LO is grammatically correct. The second one isn't. I count 3 boo boos. I think that's all of them.
