A long week

Not sure if I said in my last post or not but our darling baby boy who is 5 nearly 6 (the one who has glasses). Well he lost them when I was away at scrap camp, and he had no idea where they were. My mother had spend all day Saturday and some of sunday looking for them and then when I returned from scrapcamp, I spent about two hours monday and everyday there after looking for them. I had been told that they were in the dog paddock (where the dogs are tied up). We looked and looked, looked with torches in the dark (thinking they would shine up), to no avail. I'd given up and rang the specialist in Dunedin (we were meant to go down on the Friday for a check up). She said I won't order any, they will turn up, but come down even if you don't have them.

Any way, Olly found them on Wednesday, which was a huge relief. Where were they? Sitting down where he had taken them off and put them. If I was't so relieved I would of cried LOL. So on Thursday this dear child toddled off to school, with his glasses happy as larry. Thursday night he gets home. "Um, Mum? I've lost my glasses again." What was this child thinking....... We had a specialist appointment in Dunedin the next day. So off to school we go. The teachers were out looking for them (there was a 10 minute gap where he lost them after school). We searched till 5.00 and no luck. We head home, dejected. The teacher said she would send the class out before school for a quick search. But that turned out fruitless. So off to the specialist appointment and for a new pair of glasses. We ordered new ones and they turned up the next Wednesday. An hour after they arrived we get a phone call from the teacher. "Guess what? We just found Ollys glasses...They were put neatly aside under the trees so they wouldn't get stood on while he was playing rugby" Agggggg. So now we have two pairs of glasses LOl. (and one is put away).

We are still trying to get the shearing done. Had some rain this week which put us back a bit and then on Thursday we had a friend call in who was over from Australia, It was so cool to be able to catch up with him as we hadn't seen him for a few years.

Today we had Jakes first game of school rugby. It was so cool to watch him play, although there was a big age gap from 11 to 6 and those that played tended to pass it amongst them selves, which was a bit sad, but Jake loved it. They put him on the back of the scrum, and he made a brilliant tackle that stopped a try, so he was wrapped with that.

Other than this, not much else has been happening.

On the scrapping front, I am in the process of making three different minni albums, a tag album, a flag album and a star album. Mainly because I've said yes to doing a class with some of the playgroup ladies. They have't done any scrapping and wanted me to do something for them, so finally I gave in. Kind of looking forward to it really and thought I should have some other things, other than pages. Everything I make I tend to give away IYKWIM. So it will be nice to have some of my made stuff around again. When they are completed I will post a picture to share.

Before I go, we (me and Abby) were heading down our lane the other day and we were singing. We make up silly songs, to tunes, like "Baa baa, black sheep, have you any wool, no sir, no sir, none at all. None for you, none for me, none for the little boy living in the tree." Get the gyst. Any way I sang humpty dumpty normally and later on when we were fencing Abby says "Mum can you sing that song again?" I asked which one. "you know the Honkey Donkey song." I had no idea what she was on about, then it clicked " Oh you mean humpty dumpty." "Yeeeeeaaa". LOL Can you tell I don't sing nursery rhyms much LOL.
