Jack having fun on the roof...

Chris was up on our roof the other day, cleaning out the gutters. Jack loves going up there with him. It's so hard to get a normal photo of Jack smiling these days so I just keep trying...

Family day at the beach...

It's been a rather busy couple of weeks so it was nice to have a day off and head to the beach with my family. One of my favourite things to do. We had breakfast at Labrador looking out over the broadwater.

Then we headed further down to Burleigh Heads for a swim and some vintage shopping. Chris and Jack went for a swim while Laura and I checked out 2 thrift stores and some cool new vintage shops. We made it back to the beach in time to watch a rain cloud pass by...

Then it cleared to a beautiful blue sky...

Laura enjoyed burying her brother in the sand...

I enjoyed being out of the house and not looking at my 'to do' list...

My beautiful girl...

And apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so. The guy at the gelato shop gave Laura an extra large single scoop of ferro roche gelato. I didn't get that much peppermint choc-chip...

Jack was so excited to get his own...

Found a gorgeous shop called 'dragon fly' with kids clothes and toys. You can also relax there and have coffee and cake. I'll be going back there...

Jack loves it at the beach...

Illustration Friday...

I love Jack's drawings. He drew me a house with flowers beside the front door...

Looks like a great book...

They say you can't judge a book by it's cover, but if you could, this looks like a great book. I found it on the net so I'll get the library to order it in for me so I can check it out...

These are a few of my favourite things...

I'm going to make some chair covers for our chairs...

I would love to buy a bird poster for our office...

I love white ceramic things and found this camera on the net. It's so cool...

Hope whoever reads this has a lovely day today. It's such a beautiful time of the year...
