Two hours. That's officially my limit whilst sitting in a Chipmunks playland. We 'owed' Jacob a trip somewhere special for his birthday, which was back in February, but he pretty much has to share a birthday with Abby so she had her choice of destinations on the actual weekend. Jacob had to wait. Then he fractured his wrist and has been in plaster. So an April birthday treat, it was. So yes, two hours was the complete upper limit. It was the most I could take of screaming, squealing, running, and quite often crying kids, all in one go. It was a welcome break to be able to leave and go have a picnic at a local park with a few favourite friends. Finally the kids could run and play and the adults could talk. Pair that with an impromptu daylight-savings-is-ending-so all-the-neighbours-should-get-together-for-a-drink-in-the-middle-of-the-culdesac-and-stay-there-til-it's-too-dark-to-find-the-kids-anymore party last night, then the Warriors playing today, and the weekend was over. Really, it went far too fast. Goodbye daylight savings.
I didn't scrap today, but did yesterday. I finished up my Tarisota kit for April. Tamar was quick off the mark this month and has loaded the Tarisota gallery early. Erica L, if you don't want to see your CJ entry, then don't look!
Here's one of my favourite layouts, I'll put it in the sidebar gallery too.
No Evana has not moved to Africa, yes she oppsidently hit Jacob in the head but more to the point, what is a guts tree?
I still don't know. But apparently you don't stand underneath one because guts will fall on your head. Really. I have no clue where she was going with that. I can only imagine that Abby has changed one word for another or she has been watching some pretty scarey TV that I was unaware of.
Missions for this week? 3 layouts for the Aussie Scrap Source blog. They won't go up straight away but won't be too far away. I'll also be creating a new class kit for Aussie Scrap Source. I need to get more pages done for the All about me album that we are all doing together - we are all doing the album together, aren't we? I'll be posting more of those pages this week. I think that'll do me through til Friday, I hope your weekend was a good one!

Oppsidently, that makes me giggle. Nic, your work is always beautiful... I love all the fives! :)
And those kids' albums... my older guy is sick and won't let me take any more pictures right now. Fortunately, I think I have enough pictures to do the next few pages.

LOL at the birthday choices... only had miss 6's 'party' 3 weeks ago (& she had it in a full arm plaster) as there were no children around on Jan 29th - her actual birthday.... at least Feb wasn't as long ago as Jan was! ummm I'm actually liking the end of daylight savings... means I'm waking at my usual time which is now earlier... & we aren't 'rushing' to get out the door for school & work :-) love the '5' things!
