Another stunning day here in paradise (like the rest of the country!) so we headed on out to the kite day at New Brighton beach. What a feast for the eyes that was. Lots of fab kites, enought people to make it fun, but not so many that you couldn't get a car park. Loved watching the toddlers sit in the waves, oblivious to all the kites around them... This was my favourite kite:

Is that not seriously cute???!

These were some of the other very cool kites, flying in a beautiful clear blue sky. I'd certainly head off to see this again next year.

We had friends over yesterday and the kids were wanting to earn money, so I put them to work, because I'm all for child labour LOL. They had a ball picking up pine cones and were more than happy with the three dollars I paid them each - mainly because that was all the change I could scrape up in my purse. Funny how the love getting lots of little coins - it kind of seems like 'more' money to them at this age! Funny too, as the wee girl Katie, kept hanging on to the electric fence and telling us how she wasn't getting a shock - strange child :-)

Look at that, I've even managed to get into the scrap room! This is my take on the sketch challenge for Scrappin Patch. And don't die of shock (especially you Vicki lol), but I've started on a mini album!! That's a big thing for me, I'm not known for my off the page prowess LOL. Have a wonderful, sunny week people.
