Easy Like Sunday Morning

It's been a reasonably nice weekend despite me feeling quite under the weather for most of Saturday. We popped in briefly to Harvey Norman's on Saturday and had 3 photos of the kids (the ones that are in the previous post) printed out in a 12x12 size so we could frame them for the hallway. They look amazing printed out and I can't stop looking at them, we also bought 2 frames which they gave us just over $4 each off for no real reason other than I think the girl must have felt bad that she had to order the third frame in for us as they only had 2 in stock!
I can't wait to pick the frame up during the week and get them hung on the wall. We'd been talking lately about getting new Pixi Photos or similar done but now don't feel the need which is great as last time we had some done the freebie they gave us was awful so we ended up having to spend about $200+ just to get some of the decent poses. We worked out the ones we did at home cost about $120 and are much nicer shots of the kids too! I still want to attempt a family shot though.
This morning Ab finally went back to swimming after a 4 week break due to illness and other committments, she did great and was nice to get us all out the house at a decent hour. We ended up heading to a park not far from Ab's swimming complex afterwards as we had been saying we would for ages. We played in the park for an hour or so in the gorgeous sunshine, I wish I had taken the camera but it wasn't a planned trip so was a bit unprepared. Joe had a blast on the swings I think I spent most of my time just standing there while he giggled and grinned like a maniac. Scarlett was a daredevil on the slide and Abbey took great delight in squealing her head off on the flying fox. We eventually left to head down to the shops so I could get a pair of jeans and I swear I got the bargain of the century..a new pair of jeans in Target for $17.40 and they fit perfectly..yay. Jeans shopping is something I normally despise, along with shoe shopping!
Other than that I have been busy designing and finished another kit this week, the preview is proving difficult though as I can't seem to fit everything on one page..so may need to do two previews on this one, we'll see. I'm hoping to get some scrapping done too this week, my Mum is over here on Tuesday as she hasn't been here for a week or so while she's been in Melbourne visiting my brother, I also have to take Ab for a hearing test, go to a Quiz night and G has his allergy specialist appt early next week too for his reaction that he had back in Feb!
Ah well .....off to bath the kids and make homemade pizza for tea!

ahhhhhh Jo - wish i had gone to your place for tea - much more interested than toasted ham and cheese sandwiches that we had here :|

Yay at your jeans - what a horrendous job that usually is! I am sure it is some form of torture in another country!

Missing talking to you chick!
