Noah's Swinging Star

Hi Everyone,
 
With all my boys home today it was great to spend the day with them.
We took them shopping for a few things as they will be heading to Bathurst on Tuesday for the V8 races.  They are all so excited.
Then they decided to head into the bush to push some trees down.  Not the living ones, but the ones that did not survive the fire we had 3 years ago.
It was a great day.
 
I have made a card using an image from Sassy Cheryl (link below).
