so much to do and so little time...

It may or may not come as a surprise to many of you but I have stuff to do.  It's true! I do!  Lots of li'l bits of this and lots of li'l bits of that and some big bits thrown in just to see what I'm made of...

Here's a teensy bit of what's gone on in the past week...

Jayden's basketball...

If only the lens could have fit through that dang net!  It makes the photo look like one of those old nylon dressing gowns...

ANYWAY!!! If I EVER have to watch another game of basketball with first time basketballers I will have an aneurism!  I seriously could become one of those courtside mothers.  If I let my instincts take over and allowed myself to bellow to the kids for encouragement or chastisement or whatever, Jayden would be known as (shock, horror, gasp) the kid with.............the MUM!!!!!!

I must think seriously before I stunt his growth within his peer group.  I think I'll just resort to grinding my teeth.

ANYWAY!!! Girlfriend had a choreography display.  Hip Hop was the genre of the moment...

Yo! S'up sista! Yo doin' good, a'igh! 

And then I had to tweak a class I have to teach on Monday at Scrapbooks etc...  This is "Dimensional Pop" if any o' y'all wanna join me!  It's not really this bright.  The colours are dark red and aqua... I have a big camera y'know... I have a big camera with lots of lenses y'know... I have a big camera with lots of lenses and lots of settings y'know... you'd think someone with a big camera, lots of lenses and lots of settings would actually be able to get them right at some stage... go figure...

Then there was Tuesday at ANZ Stadium here in Brisbane... The twins made it to the athletics team... here are some highlights of the day...

Girlfriend and the big, heavy shotput... It's almost as if her arm will snap from the sheer weight of that oversized ball bearing...

Then there was the high jump...

And then there was... WHAT THE? How did she get in here??? Kerry! The kids NEED that shotput! NO.  You can't keep it.  Don't try hiding it behind your leg.  Give it back.  There's a good girl...

This kid doesn't need to touch the ground when he runs...

And here I was trying to locate my mojo... That mess in the backround is REAL.  What you can't see is the empty tea cup and my entire collection of chipboard alphas. I really should post a before and after shot of the chaos.  Now, back to the mojo...
 
...here it was briefly...

And I did this a little while ago.  I love these Fancypants papers...

Now... I know I've done other things... but I only have enough creativity to think of my vacuum cleaner and washing machine and several cleaning products, steam mops, dust cloths, etc...

Oh! and I was awarded this by Julie

 

Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!  I'm passing it on to Donna, Kristi, Jilly, Louise and Petrina.

mess? what mess? where are the leftover plates with chocolate biscuit crumbs and unopened mail? What about the crayons and kid scissors and bits of string that are too short to tie and bits of ribbon that are all frayed and crumpled? That is not a mess woman!

And go you sporting mum you! You are clearly the 'mum with the camera'LOL!

[scrappysue]

yes lynette, definitely need WIDE ANGLE lens on the scrap space. you surely can't be as messier scrapper than me? i hate putting it all away, it sucks - even as i go which is way boring. great layouts, great air running boy pics too!

[Kristi Smith]

NO . . . don't do it . . . don't be THAT mum! ;)

Girlfriend looks buck.

How does Tyler do that?

I don't see a mess.

Great layouts.

I love your blog too.

Love all the photos. Love the basketball photos. Jayden looks like he has skillz. Love the hip hop photo and outfit. So cute. Wish I could see a video of the performance. LOVE those running photos. That is classic. He is like an illustration out of a children's book! You look so contemplative. I like your hands.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (That's for getting to hang out soon.)

I'm tired seeing all that you have been busy doing.

Where's your one arm in the picture of you?

Your looking hot even if your missing a arm!

Hi Lynette

Lovely work as usual. Try putting you lense right up to the fence - that usually works for me. I too want to see more of your scrap space!!! Messy - ha! You should see mine :) Well done to the twins for the athletics day achievements. Looks like they did well.

[Bev]

Can't believe Kerry was pocketing the shotput. I wondered why she was walking funny that day :) :) :)
Great shots Lynette. Hope life has settled a little for you xxx

[Sherryn]

Well your kids clearly get their moves from you! I've seen you run, dance and play ball...they're the splitting image of yourself! Wheeeeeeeeeee.
PS: Can i do another class today with you?xxx

[Janette]

Looks like the kids have been keeping you very busy. Great action shots. Nice to see you working on a page. Love the bits and pieces of those layouts. Enjoy your week and I hope things settle down for you. It's Wedding week for us here in Canada. Just 5 sleeps away. :)

Oh...I love your layouts...just wish I could SEE them!

Cool pics of the kids...you are one busy mom! I know what you mean about being "that mum" on the sidelines. I sometimes have a hard time controlling myself at Bayley's football games. :)

YOu make me smile every time I read your blog. lol. I love that you fit fantastic scrapping in between all the kid stuff that is required. Go the kids for being so great. And I can see space in your scrap area... at the moment i am stepping between die cut papers trying to choose the most appropriate - and that is not the desk its the floor!
