Singapore F1 Weekend

Out with the boys on Friday night to watch an F1 practise session. It's really something to watch it live vs on tv. Even if it's just a practise session. We saw a couple of seperate minor incidences with a Ferrari and a Mercedes. It wasn't too crowded at the Bay grandstand  either which was nice.




This was my best shot with my Lumix LX3. My camera is awesome. I pre focussed and then just clicked when the car was in the right frame (Aperture priority - the camera automatically adjusts the speed). You can even see the Red Bull words clearly.

Weekly Scrap

These photos were really fun to take. We were at a vineyard in Melbourne and the boys discovered a huge leaf pile. They took turns jumping in it. Bryan discovered how to rake the leaves in a pile and was trying to keep everything together while Gabriel was messing everything up. It's the first time either boy has seen so many fallen leaves in a pile before.

I used the last of my old Prima collections. I used up the rest of the rub ons too. It's not so clear in the photo but I've also used some old Prima jewels for this layout too.

Yarra Valley Vineyard - This was a unique experience for all of us. We took a drive down to the Yarra Valley in Victoria. It is the perfect place to have vineyards. And there are so many of them around. That day, some of the wineries had an open house for visitors to taste their wine and have something to eat. Some even have a live band to add to the festivities. The wineries we visited were actually very crowded. And the atmosphere very lively. We spent the entire afternoon there.

I used the last of my Websters Spring Market papers, journalling cards and chipboard buttons. The colours and motifs were perfect for the photos.

Mooncake Festival

It's the night of a full moon, lanterns and sparklers. It's the mooncake festival or mid autumn festival. The kids get to carry lanterns and the adults get to eat mooncakes. Which are yummy and oh so fattening. Some of the older kids including Bryan get to play with sparklers, which is probably the highlight of the evening for them.

Meanwhile, the other side of the world remembers a horrific day. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the survivors and their families. No one should ever have to go though anything like that. And I hope never ever again.

18 June - Bryan's birthday party at the Cuckoo Restaurant. He turns six!. We had a buffet dinner with lots of yummy food. And Bryan had a yummy chocolate birthday cake at the end of it. It was a great day for him. I used Webster's Let's Celebrate collection for this. It was perfect for his birthday photos. The flower and jewels were also from Websters.



This photos are from the same night. It's a group photo with all of us in it. I'm quite happy that the photo came up ok. The restaurant was quite dark inside. I used the papers from Webster's Spring Market. While the flowers and jewels this time are from Prima. I did a lot of cutting for this layout. But I liked how the layout matched the photo.

Bryan's Solo Performance

This weekend, Bryan had his usual chinese class. But this time, the kids were putting up a little performance for the parents. And they've only ever prepared for the performance in the 1/2 hour or so after class started. It was great to see the kids enjoying themselves doing the rhymes.

There was a new addition to the usual rhymes. This time, the kids had time to do a solo bit if they wanted to. It was very interesting to see all the younger kids coming up to do their solo bits. While the older kindergarten kids all didn't want to.

All, exept Bryan. He decided to give it a go. He actually did remember a rhyme from one of his classes so he recited that. It went very well. He was actually quite good. I am very proud of him. :) And I did get it on video, although he was a little soft on it.

Fun in the Zoo

This is what we were up to during the recent public holiday. Our zoo membership allows us unlimited trips to the zoo. Which is great when there are 2 kids to entertain. This time, the grandparents came along. It was a simple trip, not much walking to do.

We took the riverboat ride up to the children's section of the zoo. Where we had ice cream. It wasn't a very sunny day but still warm enough. Then we took the tram back to the entrance. We still managed to see some animals, including the very cute small monkeys. Then the boys discovered something new in the zoo shop... animal hats!
