A pictorial catch-up

You know your life is just too busy when your husband suggests you go away for a weekend, and you have to look to January for a free weekend! Life is just so hectic right now- and unfortunately the blogging thing has gotten away from me. So here is a quick catch-up (mostly in photos) of the last 3 weeks!

We celebrated Tom's 11th birthday with a night of go-karting and laser wars! So much fun- but so so so hard to photograph!

Tom wanted a V8 supercar mud cake for his birthday- luckily I was able to find one of those edible image things!The next weekend was Sunbury Show. Tom attended his first event as a Junior CFA member, and Meg took part in a gymastics display.

I entered some scrapbooking and cross-stitch in the show and was thrilled to get some ribbons!The Junior cricket season has started back- there goes our Saturday mornings again! All but 1 of the kids Tom played with last year have moved up to the next age group, so Tom is now in a team with a lot of young ones. They have played 2 games so far and are yet to pick up a win, but there was great excitement in the Riley house coz Tom took the very first wicket for his team for the season! (Bit of guilt from Mum coz she wasnt there to see it- I was down at Geelong with all the Scrap Therapy girls!! Got to meet Lee-anne and Danny all the way from Cairns!!! You guys rock!)

Domino came along to cricket this weekend too which kept Meg well entertained- and the kids even gave "3 cheers for the team mascot dog" at the end of the game!

Yesterday I went on a "hike" with Tom's school as part of their middle school activities week. We walked from the Mt Macedon memorial cross all the way back to school! Long walk down the side of the mountain- but it was worth it just for this photo- love the clouds!

And some scrapping to share with you...... I think all of these have been created using My Minds eye which is ther MAN of the month at Scrap Therapy- all 20% off till the next cybercrop (which is on November 7-9th!)

This one's done with Daisy Bucket papers! Happy Birthday for yesterday Bon!!
