Today I had a much needed day off work. I really really wanted to stay at home and rest, noodle on the computer, maybe a nap? But as I was having my shower I though with my heart and decided to take the girls to Maylands Waterland

It was a place we hadn't visited before, so the girls were excited to go somewhere different. As as it was 38.6 degress, it was a perfect thing to do today. A few swims, a round of mini golf, an icy pole, a play on the playground was enjoyed by all.

Ready Steady Jump! Ella jumps, Ruby getting ready!



Having a ride on Amie & Brendans backs. What fun!

Running down the river!

Hmmn, I wonder what Ruby is thinking about?

"Come on Kate, get in with us"!!!



Isn't she gorgeous?



A girl needs a sandwich you know!



Who said a girl can't swing with one arm?





Ella has a go too!



Don't you just love her face?

A Busy Day!

Today I feel like I've achieved alot. That's a good thing b/c lately my energy levels have been pretty low. It probably has something to do with only having one day off in the last fortnight. The type of job I do is very physical so it does make me exhausted at times.


Anyway I worked from 8am until 12pm which was so good to get an early finish in.



I got a huge pile of ironing done which mostly I don't mind ironing, but I battle with the heat so I always put it off until it's so big it turns the job into something much bigger. I do love nicely ironed clothes so it's a good feeling when I've finished.









Next I tackled the kitchen. Okay, so we have a dishwasher but there was lots of bits and pieces that don't go in it. After I handwashed a few things, I wipes all the kitchen cupboards inside and out. They are all sparkling now.
















Cleaned out the fridge and had a big chuck-out. It's amazing what had been long forgotten at the back. Yucko!







Then we did some decluttering, the girls helping me. Sorted out a few drawers and wardrobes and had a big chuck out. It felt so good.




I was a little weary by the time we had finished, but happy weary. :)





Hope everyone had a good day too.











Love and Peace to you,
Ailsa x

P is for Phil




Phil. I thought I would write about my man today seeing as he is celebrating his birthday. (albiet at work)

Phil is a really nice guy. Everyone who knows him loves him. He's generous, hardworking, funny and honest. He's a very loyal partner and a good friend.

He's a great Dad. The girls all adore him. And miss him like crazy when he's away.

He is the complete opposite to me which gives us a nice balance.

Happy 40th Phil. xx

Happy Birthday to Phil

40 years young tomorrow (but he flies back to work today :( )

We had dinner last night at Siena's. A lovely Italian pizza/pasta place which was so busy! Lots of kids there - the attraction being an indoor play area to keep the little ones entertained. Huge servings of food - no one finished their plates off! Fast service for such a busy night. We were very impressed!

Then today was cake and presents. Kate & Ella made homemade cards. They are the best kind aren't they?
