Tub and Bubble Fun


We had a fairly busy weekend just gone which is unusual for us. On Saturday it was my sister's birthday and we had a barbecue/picnic lunch down by the beach. At night, Paul and I headed into the city for a birthday dinner while my Mum minded Grace. By the next day we were exhausted. One function a day seems to be all I can handle these days.

On Sunday, Paul was working away trying to level sand and dig reticulation trenches in the soon to be 'Grace's Corner' of our backyard. I had to spend some time online renewing my Western Australian College of Teaching membership (what a painful process!) and so Grace was happy playing in the sand watching Paul. When I finally came out to see what they were both up to, Grace was filthy and covered in dirt so we filled up her outdoor toy tub with warm water and bubble bath and she spent a good half hour in there splashing around and having fun.

As for the week ahead, my first Cooking Club with my friends is this Friday night which I am really looking forward to. What are you looking forward to this week?

  3. What a perfect childhood memento photo! I love it! Grace does have stunning eyelashes.
    I'm looking forward to Bunnings opening tomorrow. I know it sounds pathetic, but it's been 2mths since the closest two near our home were flooded, and I didn't realise (until without it) how I rely on it with my reno & revamp projects so much... xx

  9. Such a lovely photograph, it does sound like you had a busy weekend, I hope you had a nice dinner out. Are you planning on doing some more teaching? All those registrations do seem to be ridiculously complex. I'm looking forward to hearing all about your dinner, I think you will have such a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to the weekend I think...work is going to be a bit blah this week, my other workmate who I sit with is in Japan...so I hope he is ok.

    Have a great week,
