Busy Swinerds...

Phew, what a week it is! 

Matt is flat out busy sorting out a landscape design for the upcoming Homeshow. His days are usually very busy, so now he's working longer hours to get everything done in time.  These busy times can be hard, so I try to make sure that the kids are taken care of and also try to have Matts lunch made for the next day so that when he gets home he can unwind and get quality time with the family.

Icing the Afgans

Lincoln seems to have a lot of projects to get ready for school.  A study of his ancestry, completion of his work for Speech and Drama exams, and he has also made it through to the final of the Donker Cup for poetry so he needs to practise, practise, practise!  We are making sure that he gets some down time, as I feel that its pretty important.  On Monday he enjoyed making Afgans...he did a wicked job and all I needed to do was help him get the arm down on the cake mixer and measure a cup of flour.  The rest was all his work and the boys tell me the bikkies are very tasty (I haven't had one).  Thank goodness the school holidays are nearly here as I'm sure he needs a break!

Lucy has been busy too!  She has started solids and has enjoyed farex and farex with apple.  Nyum nyum!  Her day sleeps are incredible but she was a brat this week by waking at 2am on Sunday night (which made me completely zombie-fied for Monday) and decided to have 5am start today - which meant I couldnt hit the treadmill for cardio.  Oh well, shes more important anyway! She is now making up for it and has been fast asleep for 4 hours. Bless.

Altherm TVC

Tuesday I filmed my first ever TV commercials for 'Altherm Windows and Doors'.  This was a great experience and I feel very fortunate to have been invited to do the presenting.  We filmed 3 commercials; 2 of which are to go on the tele from Oct, and the 3rd is a internet commercial for the brand.  I worked with a fantastic team of people:  Rochelle did an amazing job as my stylist and Christelle made me look camera worthy with her make-up and hair skills. Now that I have some experience, I hope it will lead to some more work. 

Asparagus Luncheon Muffins

My muffin mission is going well...I'm only up to page 3, which is 'Asparagus Luncheon Muffins'.  I'm pleased that there was no luncheon in them (ew), and according to Linc they are "super tasty" - which is no surprise considering they have cheese, and sour cream in them which are 2 of Lincs favourite foods!
