Day one went well, even with the slow start, both girls came down with a flu bug,but perked up in enough time to have some fun. First off we went to the Melbourne Museum, then to Collingwood Children's Farm, Then a spot of shopping and dinner at Ikea. Would have loved to have done more but the girls were still not a 100%.

Our youngest son Douglas with our youngest daughters.
Been very busy these past three months, stupid mad crazy busy, Work, kids, grand kids, More Work WORK!! Work !! Our  youngest son Douglas moved back home after 4 years away at Uni, and a work stint in Sydney, losts of moving stuff around to squeeze him in but we did it. Then he decided to go travel overseas for a few months. And after all that work , household reshuffling and a bit of sprucing up i was sick for a few weeks. I now have my own home office/crafting corner, nice bright and sunny even on a bleak winters day, i love it ! Did manage to make some Yoyo's,  i use to sell them on eBay for about 4 years and then stopped, but i started making some again , i missed making them, so easy and fun and very pretty. I have so many pretty things i want to make and not enough time. I'm off to Melbourne for a few days to have some long overdue family fun. See you in a few days!!
