Project 365 - Day 9

Graeme and I had a good day at the shop, taught a class with 2 of my very favourite people this afternoon - a good way to start the weekend.

Came home and the girls had organised a surprise for us - a 3 course meal. All I had to do was take them down to the shop and pay - I was all for it. I wasn't allowed in the kitchen so I had a little nanna nap on the lounge while they were busy.

I got Tegan to take photo's of the girls in the kitchen but she was hunted out quickly.
So for dinner we had Ham & Cheesy rolls for starters, main course was Tuna Mornay, vegetables with cheesy sauce and pasta and for dessert we had ice cream with home made chocolate fudge sauce - yummo! And a lovely fruit punch for drinks! Such wonderful girls. I was soooo full.

Project 365 - Day 8

Had a really good day today - work was pretty constant. Syvonne came with me to a preschool this morning and we taught a card making class to the vacation care kids. I am always surprised at just how talented children can be, they have no fear to try different colours and techniques. Some of the kids made 5 cards, most of them had a LOT of bling!
I needed a little chocolate afterwards ..... yummo ........

Project 365 - Day 7

Tegan and her friend spent some time during the day putting Syvonne's desk together -2 10 year old girls did a great job. Syvonne wasn't impressed but she did finish off her room and put some nice little touches to it all.

I worked all day at the shop, there seems to be a lot of visitors to the mid north coast this year. Reports out are saying that there are more people holidaying locally than ever before.

Thought I would post a link to someone else's take on Project 365 by Beth Opel check it out!

Project 365 - Day 6

It was such a hot day the kids just sat around home in the air con. Syvonne is getting organised for her big year of study and needed a new desk for her computer. She'd shopped around so we picked it up for her and took it home. All of a sudden she was up and putting it together - well the bookcase anyway. By the time she'd put it together she was over it and couldn't be bothered to work on the actual desk.

Project 365 - Day 3

I spent the day cleaning out the pantry. Once upon a time this would have all been done on a regular basis but with working full time its just been a no go area. Plus the kids seem to think that if its in the pantry its OK - it doesn't seem to matter if the lids on, on the wrong shelf, finished or out of date! So I spent some time finally getting it done.

I hate finding lids for containers so I made the girls find them all - now I have a pile of bottoms with no tops?? They're like socks those things.

Project 365 - Day 4

These photo's where taken yesterday. I was trying to get a good photo of Graeme but it seems that all the photo's I took he had his eyes closed or red eye. The girls are concerned about the red eye - all this reading of Twilight books has got them twitchy!! LOL!!

Project 365

So here's some more on Project 365 - Becky Higgins.

Keep a record for every day this year - take a photo!!

I've been so slack of late taking photo's of our lives - and we own a Kodak store so I should be doing it but you get so caught up with everyday stuff that I just forget so this is my first new year resolution - take more photo's!!

2009 - Its Here Already???

Well I've been a total disaster at blogging this last year - lets hope that I can maintain a better blog this year! Can you believe its 2009?? Where on earth did 2008 go to?

We've been extremely preoccupied with the business for the past 12 months but we both feel we can let go a little now and take a breath. The kids have really felt the "lack" of parent presense around the place and this is something both of us want to fix this year.

Our eldest has resumed her studies and will be doing her TPC Tertiary Preparation Certificate - this year. We are very proud of her as it takes a lot to return to study once you've left school but she has decided that she wants to be a primary teacher which we fully support.

We are all relaxing around the house at the moment - one is reading the latest craze to hit our house - the Twilight Series, 1 is playing guitar the other listening to music. I like it when they are all relaxed like this, life feels great.

Anyway - I've determined that I need to make some changes to my life in 2009 - will type them up later but one of them is Project 365 - where I will take a photo every day this year, you will find out more later.
