Ten on Tuesday!

Hi,
A big thanks to those who have found my new blog, I have been a bit of a slacko already but here I am ready to post. The last week or so has been great, We had a great day on Australia, we caught up with friends for breakfast which was lovely and loads of fun. We then checked out the Australia day festivities at Rocks riverside park in the afternoon.

Jazzy and Ethan are both back at school and so far so good. Jasmine LOVES her teacher and seems a lot more settled and relaxed this year. We are still having issues with her hearing and ears but hopefully that will get sorted out one way or another. I had 2 weeks off work to spend with the kids and also to have a few days to chill out myself and it was lovely. It was a bit tough getting back into the swing of things but it is all good!

Brad's parents spent a few days here last week and it was really nice to have them here, the kids just love when they visit.


I have been thinking about what types of things I want to record, remember and scrapbook this year and thought that I would start a weekly  blog post called " Ten For Tuesday" Each week I am going to have a topic for a list of ten things some weeks they will be about me and my memories, likes etc and others will be about my family/ kids etc. This week it is about me- given that My kiddies went back to school last Wednesday. I have been thinking a little about my school years and decided that my first Ten on Tuesday  will be ............

Ten School Memories!

1. Going to Skids Shoe shop with Mum and Mike and Trish to get fitted for Clarks school shoes at the beginning of each school year.

2. Mum taking photos on the first day of school and making us do the fake wave photo!

3. Breaking my arm playing leap frog on the oval in grade 4 during P.E. and being carried up the huge hill pathway by the P.E. teacher (she was running) to the office .

4. Doing a project on possums in grade 5 as part of the australian animals unit also getting really upset when people would call a koala a bear beacause it was a marsupial (my sister would tease the crap out mf me calling it a  koala bear and waiting for me to get upset!

5. Mum used to make us "finger salads" (meaning that salads with bite sized pieces that we would not need to use a fork to eat) thinking it was a salad made of fingers then giggling every time I had a finger salad... it became a bit of a family joke.

6. Having trouble getting long division and then the lightbulb moment, My teacher was so excited that he got me to stand on my chair and high five him and he got the whole class to cheer! (he was a pretty conservative teacher so this was really funny!)

7. Having to use our erasers to rub the scuff marks  from our school shoes of the white floors in the grade 8 building !

8. Being part of the School Musicals that my school did with our local boys school! lots and lots of fun.

9. Sitting in maths doing my art drawings (with my book on my lap) and getting busted by the maths teacher!!!

10. School dances! - the highlight of our each term!

So there you go, there is my first Ten on Tuesday.  There are so many more I could write but I stopped at 10 LOL!!!!

Please feel free to play along and join in writing your own ten school memories on your blog or if you are my friends and family that don't have blogs would love to see them on facebook. If you do decide to play along leave a comment to let me know so I can check yours out!  I am hoping to use these as inspiration for my scrapping.

Speaking of scrapping I do have a few layouts to share, yep don't fall off your chairs, I am back into scrapping!  but they are not on this computer. I will upload them later from the other computer.

Thanks for reading, I will be back soon to share more!
