Well it's been a 4 day weekend for us here, firstly with Australia Day being a public holiday here last Thursday and then G getting a day off on the Friday for having worked a Saturday a couple of weeks back. We decided to get our butts in gear and De-Clutter the house. It worked pretty well! The house is looking tidier and there is a big skip on the front lawn loaded with assorted bags of household crap! Look at all that rubbish!! No wonder we don't have enough house to live in. Oh and the picture really doesn't do it justice seeing as there are several more rubbish bags to go down to the op shop with a few other items too!
I am pleased with how much we got done but wished we could have done a bit more, the weather was pretty severe though with temps in the low 30's and 100% humidity so it was hard going. We still have a way to go before we can move into the front room but it's starting to look like we may get there sometime this year!

My other really exciting news is that I have been accepted to be a Digital Designer at DigitalScrapbookHaven.com I am so stoked, and am hoping I do okay. I haven't got anything in the shop yet as I am in the midst of designing a kit (my other two I donated to the site for freebies) but hope to finish this new kit soon. I'm not sure it may not be a bit bold and bright for some but it's a start at least and maybe someone else out there will actually like it!?!?

We also managed to run some errands over the weekend. Ab need a sports uniform for school this year so we managed to sort that out, she had an appointment with her podiatrist which went reasonably well. She gets so much pain in her legs when she has had a busy day, she is already wearing orthotics in her shoes and has done since just before she turned 5 to correct a turned in foot. It's much better now but she still suffers a lot with pains in her legs when she has had particularly energetic days.


We also took the kids to the Snakes and Ladder Play Cafe in Gawler yesterday morning which was nice. We've been trying to get a chance to take them there for a while. Scarlett was braver than Joe at first which I didn't expect. Joe wouldn't even go near any of the play equipment for a while but once he got over his initial concerns he had a ball..literally! He even took on the kiddy slide. Scarlett tried the slide a couple of times but decided face first into a pile of balls wasn't much fun! Joe had the smarts to slide down using his bottom rather than his face.
Abbey just enjoyed running about the big kids section with bunch of kids she didn't know yelling their heads off, she had so much fun!

All in all, a good weekend!
