Zac

That is all

<3 <3 <3

Kids can cook

My kids love all sorts of baking :) so I've decided that every week they can do something themselves

We've started off easy and just using packet mixes but still teaching them measuring skills and reading ingredients...... I stood back and watched and took photos, it was great fun and they didn't make much of a mess. I loved watching them and they just loved learning

Zac with his choice

Pouring the mixture in the bowl, yep my kids own their own tupperware :)

Measuring the water

Mixing it up

Taste test, yummmmmmmm

Concentration, they loved this part

Finished product and ready for the oven

Next it was onto the cake, Zac doing the greasing

Adding the milk

Cracking eggs, Char's job, and no shell either

Butter measuring, and taste testing AGAIN

Pouring in the batter :)

Dea doing his part

Yep they all know how to clean up afterwards

Zac with his final product,

Verdict, YUMMO

Scrap the Boys

Gosh don't you love the start of the month when all the new challenges are released???? I know I do :)

Scrap the Boys is fab though, bi monthly Challenges, if you have boys or men in your life you should check them out

This month we have a fantastic sponser, so pop by the blog and check out who it is :) and also our NEW DT member, she is one fabulous scrapper who is going to bring you SO MUCH inspiration


Sweet Side of You - ahhhh, yes while he does have his moment, he can be the sweetest, most gentlest of boys. LOVES his hugs and kisses, has a very fragile side and can be easily upset. Oh I love this little fellow.

New Challenges up EVERYWHERE

New Month New Challenges

Over at Bons they've all gone up you should check them out

Girls of Summer - this is my take on room of the month. My example is actually sooooo different to the room but still a little similar. lol. I know I've scrapped this photo before but I've had these G45 papers in my stash for such a LONG time and really wanted to use them it all just seemed to work.

you know if you want to make your copied photo look a little more aged, just crease it a few times, doesn't look as 'fresh' then hehehehe

Your Cranky Look - this is using the Paper of the Month, I was actually a little thrown by the paper but kept it simple and actually don't mind how it's turned out now :)

Zac throwing his Cranky Face. He has such a CRAZY personality, and really lets you know now if he's not impressed with you. Hands on the hips, stands there holding his ground, the boy really has a bad mix of me and Luke, we are both so pig headed.

Be great to see a few new faces over at Bons playing along with these challenges.

hmmmm OVER IT

stupid sickness, July has been horrible for us. grrrrr

I've got NOTHING new to show you all, been too out of it to even think about scrapping. That's bad isn't it?????

So apart from the horrid flu we all got, I ended up with a fever, aching body, bad headache and vomiting. feel sooooo lifeless and fatigued, even though I've been sleeping about 10hrs a night.



Starting to feel a little more normal at the moment so I'm hoping I can get everything caught up with over the next few days

Oh and to top it off, Zac hit Deacon in the head with one of the swings and busted his head open. Dash into the Ambulance yesterday to be told that yep it's split goooooooooooooooooood and needed to be glued up AGAIN. Tell you that boy is our problem child. Always in the wars.

anyway that's my pity party, lol

Yesterday and last night

A little bit of Dad doing this

lead to the kids finding these

and having a go themselves

They had a ball trying to cut up the branches, and helping carry them to the truck. I'm glad my kids love being outside.

Great too look out now too and see this tree looking a bit more tidy and not dropping leaves all over the shed. Plus now I don't have to worry about it hitting me across the face everytime I walk out to the car..... LOL

Then last night as dad was out the back checking on his cows, he saw a few feral pigs. Gus ended up chasing one and catching it. Pretty big feat considering Gus isn't a very big dog. So the kids got to see one of these destroying beasts up close. OMG it was wild for a little one.. trying to take snaps at the dogs and trying to bite dad too.

So that was our excitement for the day

Just remember I have my little giveaway going, just check here will have to get a pic of what you may grab if you are lucky... all comments from the time I made that post to the end of the month count 

 

Today

What do you do when you are bored?????

Make Plastic Bag Balloon Kites

How EASY are these

all you need to do is tie both handles of a plastic shopping bag together with a piece of sting

You run around crazy with them for awhile

making sure you dodge all the toys that you've left out after playing

when sick of mum taking photos you screw your face up

and then run off

to jump on the Trampoline of course (this is what Char calls her horns)

have to try and out do each other with height

I don't know who got the most air. Zac's really getting into it now

So remember when the kids are bored, make some Plastic Bag Ballon Kites.....

just make sure you keep an eye on them, plastic bags, string and kids bit of a deadly mix

mmmmm Creation Time

I have been having sooooo much fun using the June Boy kit from Bons, I think there maybe a couple left so if you like what I've done you should head over and grab yourself one :) Even better they have worked in great with this weeks The Color Room Challenge too, double bonus :)

Can't Resist - love this little pic of Char and Deacons Feet.... so grotty, but shows just how much time and FUN they have outside. Oh and Chars cute big thongs :) Also this is Palette #10 at The Color Room and my take on the Creative Scrappers Sketch

Cute and Cheeky - Used the back of the Basic Grey sticker sheet for this. YAY no waste here. Little bit of Kittyrobot (gotta love that house) and some new Scrapware. Honestly how cute is that photo of Zac, he has the most fantastic eyes

Growing Like a Weed - :( my baby boy is growing up WAY to quick. Right now he is a shocker.... hasn't been sleeping very well. Max of 4hrs at a time, up 2 times a night. Mummy is exhausted. Added a little more Scrapware on here too, the clouds which I covered in felt and the birdy which I've painted, inked and added a touch of glitter to on the beak.... LOVE this... and can I forget that AWESOME fabric Kittyrobot button... I'm soooo in love with those fabric buttons right now

Lovin U - another using that cute pic of me and my Mr Dea. This was my take on The Color Room Challenge from a few weeks ago, sketch and all :) Love the simplicity

You Love Him - Welllllll, this was suppose to be a 12x12 but I ended up hating how I did the title in the top corner, so I ripped it off and was going to have a big feature corner but hated that too. All I can say is Yay for condensing everything into the bottom corner, I was able to cut this down to be a 8.5x11 and still keep it looking good. This is also my take on the June Sketch over at Bons, you should go and check it out. Charm has come up with a very awesome Sketch. Little bit more of the newest Scrapware chipboard too. Right now I have a thing for glittering everything :) yay gotta love some bling... Did you see how I cut that woodgrain button in half to create a bit of a scallop and then tied it together for a funky feature....

Well that is my Bons Scraps Love for the moment, I still have enough of the kit left over for atleast 2 more LO's really how cost effective is that. I do have upcloses for the other layouts but right now I cannot find them..... oops

Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday

woohoo
