WITL and Piggy Cupcakes

I was very excited to pick up my printed pages for WITL for 2011 today. I had them professionally printed from a local lab and they can do 8.5 x 11 inches for me on beautiful lustre paper. The pink/purple edges need to be trimmed as this page is a 12 inch page so if you are wondering why the top and bottom has purple on it that's why. They do a great job and am looking forward to some trimming of photos and putting in my folder. I will then do my extra journalling and fill in's for the smaller sizes like Ali's. When it's all done and printed our week looked pretty good really including all our routines.

Also I thought I would throw in a picture of the "piggy" cupcakes that James and I decorated this afternoon for tomorrow's grade 2 baking stall. I found it last night on the web, so simple. Waffer biscuits for the ears, half a white marshmallow for the nose and some chocolate drops for eyes. I only made 12 to go to school so unfortunately the kids (and I) couldn't try them out but as they are so easy I will definately make them again as they are cute and fun and not very time consuming.

WITL - Wednesday

Here are my Wednesday pages for WITL. I have enjoyed putting the photos and stories together even though I have more work to do on this project to complete it. Sick kids at home again today.....

WITL 2011 putting it together

This afternoon I spent some time starting to put pictures and words into Ali's templates for Week in the Life 2011. Here are my first 2 pages which I'm really happy with.

WITL - Day 7 (Part 2)

Here's the other photos from our day at Currumbin Bird Santuary on Sunday. They have a big sandpit with dinasour bones (obviously reproduction ones) underneath the sand and the kids brush away the sand to reveal the dinsour bones. They were short on brushes so a bit of waiting had to happen. We also love feeding the kangaroos however as we did this after lunch time every single kangaroo was not hungry so the kids found that a bit frustrating because we had no takers on the kangaroo food....they were mostly laying around on the ground having a rest. I think out of about 30 kangaroos only 2 bothered to have a couple of mouthfuls. Must go and do that first thing next time rather than leaving it until later in the day.
