Favourite Free holiday Fun

So the photos say it all but my son thinks that this is his favourite part of the school holidays.

From afar this is the look but this is the best shot....

I hope your holidays found some free fun.

Wordless Wednesday 14 July

My 6 year old took this self portrait while wearing his fathers sunglasses at a theme park.

I love the shot.

Conversation with Hayden

I collected Hayden from Wilson Home, his home away from home in the form of respite care.  This was the little conversation that we had while sitting in a traffic jam.

Me   What did you do at Wilson Home Hayden?

Hayden   Hayden had fun at Wilson Home

Me  Did you go fo a ride?

Hayden  Hayden had fun at Wilson Home

Me  What things did you do outside Hayden?

Hayden  Hayden had fun at Wilson Home


I guess that says it all.  It doen't matter what Hayden did he had fun and that gives me great peace of mind.

Monday Menu 12 July

There is nothing like keeping my budget under control and that is why I menu plan.  Of course I also plan so I don't get to terrible thought "what shall I cook for dinner?' at about 4pm.  I now feel totally destressed in this area.  Ofcourse I link my menu up to the other planners at Organising Junkie

So now on to my menu

Monday  Frozen meal  (chicken casserole from last week)

Tuesday  Steak, potato and vege

Wednesday  Cutlet on rosti and steamed vege

Thrusday  pot roast with backed potato and vege

Friday  BLT

Saturday  chicken and vegetable noodle soup

Sunday  Leftovers.

Nothing very experimental this week

Just Delightful

I have been thinking about all the scrapbooking I do and thought that for one post each weekend I would post two pages I have been doing for one of the creative teams I am on. 

To start with the Just Delightful kit by the wonderful Digi Illusions (Debbie) from Nuts4Digi

Colouring In

So colouring in is an easy and predictable  activity for hosiptal stays.  Hayden loves the idea of colouring in although he is unable to colour in between the lines he still loves the idea of this.  Of course the paper can be recycled in to something else which I will cover another time.

So here are a few of my favourite links for colouring in pages

Crayola

Playhouse Disney  (here you will get a copy of all the favourite and current tv shows with the matching pages to colour.

BBC colouring in pages

4KraftyKids

There are a huge number of other sites but these are the ones I frequent.

Please feel free to link me up to any others and I will add to my post.

With the selected pages I add to a zip lock bag colouring in pencils, a pencil to write with, some scellotape and a kiddy proof pair of scissors.

The Holidays

The holidays are always a time to recover so why is it that I feel so bad when I am not busy and just relaxing.  Infact I am so needy of some relaxing time I can't even concentrate on a book to read.

Maybe it is because I am really doing nothing. My excuse is because I am saving energy to weed the garden tomorrow.

Wordless Wednesday 7 July

Last night on my way home as the sun was setting.  It is winter here.

10 Smiles

I alway like to remind myself of things that make me smile.  It really makes me feel grateful for everything I have.  So here they are as a permanent reminder.

1.  I smile when I see my children achieving things they really have working for.

2.  I smile when the sun is shining and there is nothing pressing to be done.

3.  I smile when I see life just falling into place.

4.  I smile when the I can smell freshly cut grass on a spring day.

5.  I smile when I get 'that' perfect moment caught on camera forever preserved.

6.  I smile for every month that Hayden has no other reason to be at the hospital other than to see just one of his specialists.

7.  I smile when I am reminded of just how lucky we are in our life.

8.  I smile I hear my husband tell me he loves me and of course I love him.

9.  I smile when I am surround by my family.

10.  I smile just be cause I can that is a great thing to do.
