Mother of a Teenager...............

thats me. Madeleine had her birthday on Thursday (19th).I can't believe my baby is 13 years old. My mother told me (a long time ago now), that I was the JOY of her life, and that's exactly how I feel about Madeleine. So Happy Birthday Beautiful girl.

She had a great day, got the new fancy PINK hair straightner and a new PINK dressing gown from Neil and I, and then it was off to school. As soon as she arrived she was greeted and surrounded by friends singing (very loudly) Happy Birthday to her and lots of hugs etc... 4 out of 6 of her teachers that day had the class sing Happy Birthday. Then we got home friends popped over to say hi, lot and lots of phone calls and then out for dinner with Neil's Mum, Dad and sister. Nothing a girl likes better that being spoiled on her big day and spoiled she was.

I'm totally enjoying one of her pressies which was guitar hero for the playstation. Think I may have missed my calling as a heavy metal guitar player. Seriously it loads of fun and a little addictive. But then again maybe thats just me.

Today was a pretty lousy day in Melbourne, wet, cold and miserable. Except down at the Netball courts where. yes it was still wet and cold, but certainly not miserable. Madeleine's netball team WON their Grand Final 17-11. I love this photo of Madeleine and her great friend Alex just after the win. They all played an awesome game and given the conditions it was amazing. So excited for all of them it was great.

Then today more friends dropped over for afternoon tea, again for Madeleine's birthday so all in all she's had a fantastic few days.

Well still no scrapbooking for me, I did however have another clean up today so hopefully I will find some inspiration from that.
