Project 365.

With all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year over, I've embarked on a journey which I hope will last for 365 days!! Last year I admired Jen Hall's daily diary so when I saw Pip Prosser had bought this diary to document her baby's son first year- I jumped straight online and ordered one.....then I just had to wait until the new year started!
Coincidentally Danielle started a thread over at Scrapboxx about Becky Higgin's Project 365- taa daa, it was sort of what I had planned to do anyway so I jumped on board at Scrapboxx and I haven't looked back.


Here is my yummy Kikki-K diary- it is super cute and I love it!



January 1st- I really dislike having my photo taken and as my 'word' for 2009 is DO so I thought I might as well 'just do it'. This is a self portrait taken in the early hours of 2009. I might add here that we partied until 3:30 am- woo hoo!!!



January 2nd- After another slowish start to the day (Leeman is so laid back, all mornings start slowish!!!!) Brad and Adam sorted a heap of fishing gear and later in the afternoon we headed off to this gorgeous bay just south of Leeman. Emma was the super star of the day landing a blue manna crab. She was so excited!!! The bay was lovely, we walked around the rocks and found star fish, little crabs, shells and even saw a sting ray out in the water. We took a supply of nibblies and drinks with us and the boys built a big bonfire on the beach and generally we all had a fabulous time. Just after dark we made our way home and due to the lack of fish caught we had to settle with a BBQ. We did however cook up Emma's crab and Dad & I ate it- DELICIOUS!!!!




January 3rd. We were heading home today so we all went to Jurien Bay for lunch. Lunch was scrummo yummo- and after we had eaten I talked the kids into letting me take a photo or two.

About 2 o'clock we headed off home and Brad, Georgie, Matt, Jack, Mum, Dad and Mark headed back to Leeman. We arrived home about 5:30ish, all very tired but happy little campers!


January 4th- I was over at IGA stocking up on some food on Sunday morning when Kira's Mum rang to see if Emma would like to go over Kira's for the day. They were heading off to Q-Zar in Fremantle and Kira wanted Emma to go too. Emma was very happy to go. That left Sarah and I to do a bit of house work. I also took down the Christmas tree and all the decorations- all packed away until December 09!! Adam cleared everything off our patio and used a high powered water thingy to clean all the pavers- look a million dollars now! About 5ish when I went to pick Emma up, her and Kira convinced me to let Kira sleep over. Hmm- it was a late night!



January 5th- Sarah, Emma and Kira played happily all morning. They played Wii, played outside and were generally very good. I did have to shoot Emma off for a doctor's appointment. Poor little chicken had a reaction to the suncream I was using on her in Leeman and had come out in a allergic rash all over her body. The doctor game us two different creams (one for the face, other for the body) and I'm pleased to report that it is clearing up very quickly. Anyway just before one we picked Grace up and we all met my friend Linda and her family for lunch. Linda now lives in Albany so it was great to catch up with her and her family again. Our next stop was the movies- we saw Bolt. It was a great movie- very funny in places, a little sad in other places but overall a fabulous movie- we all enjoyed it.

After the movie I dropped Kira home and then Grace. Sarah ended up staying the night at Grace's as she went to Adventure World with Grace all day today. I haven't long got home from picking Sarah up as she stayed at Grace's for dinner too. I've taken some photos of a very tired and slightly sun burnt girl- she's my topic for my day 6 of Project 365. I'll be printing my photo and I'll be on to my page very soon!!!
