Pea's Anyone!

For those of you that know our Sarah.....you’d know that we struggle to get her to eat vegetables. Unless it’s her usual Potato & Carrot that is. However for the last month or so – every now and again she asks for some peas. Frozen Pea’s. So I give her about 6 – 10 in a little bowl and she will even eat them.

Well last night while I was getting other vegetables ready...she decided to get her own Pea’s. Then I hear this little OHH OH from behind me. I think this is a few more than 6 – 10!!

Pajama Day at Day Care

On Friday it was Pajama Day at Day Care. So all the kids went in their PJ's. It was so cute. Not only did the kids Sarah's age have their PJ's on but so did all the little babies and the carers too.

Everybody enjoyed it too. They were all so happy and sounded as if they had had a great day.

Here's Sarah in her Dorothy PJ's - which is what she wore to group.

And then she would not take them off......so slept in them......then would not take them off the next day either.....so wore them all day again.

Here she is being a poser.

Sarah had her friend Lauren over to play the other day too. I made them some playdoh. It started off being 5 different colours but soon ended up a bluey, greeny, gray colour.

The girls had a little picnic outside on the step and enjoyed playing aeroplanes on the lawn together.

It's My Birthday Today......

I'm older than yesterday.....and all of my friends are coming over to play and they'll all sing Happy Birthday.........

If any of you know this song...feel free to sing!

I've had a great day....lots of phone calls and goodies. I was given some beautiful flowers from Mum & Nadine. Here are some pic's

Not only are they beautiful and they smell great too.

I did not get up to much.....just pottered around. Sarah helped me with some little chores, we played hide & seek (although she always hides in the same place and calls out "I'm Here"), we gardened, play doh'd and spent time in the sand pit and on the swing. But it was a lovely day. Thank you to everyone for your Birthday Wishes, Gifts & Cards.

Now for those of you still singing.......

...Jelly and Ice-cream and Fairy Bread.....and party hats to put on your head. There's gonna be a Birthday Cake and we'll blow out all the candles....1...2...3....4.....hang on a minute or more while I blow out all the rest.....

A Little Mouse in the House.

When I went to make dinner last night - I got out the Cheese and found there had been a MOUSE in the house.

I said....Who's that MOUSE in my HOUSE?? And a little voice said....It's ME, It's Sarah.

Neil's New Old Car.

Wow - what a busy & exciting few months we have had. We had my sister Nadine visit from NZ and it was Sarah's birthday. That was closely followed by a trip to NZ to visit our family & friends. And then I had a few wonderful days away at the Stampin' Up! Convention in Canberra.

And in the middle of all of this happening, we sold one of our cars too. On our return from NZ, Neil was looking through the paper at different things and came across a car that caught his attention. So off he went to look at it. He came home and said he wanted it. So the next day we went back to get it.

TA DAAA....Here it is.......

It's a 1969 Holden Premier. (Bloody good year)!

As you can see - it's Blue with a White roof. The Interior is Black leather - which is all embossed and pleated - so quite fancy. Sorry that's about the extent of my info on it.....motor or mechanical-wise you'd have to ask Neil about it - cause I have NO idea.

We looked on the Internet at the Original TV ad of when it came out....that was a laugh. The ad said....."with extras such as Mudflaps and Wing Mirrors". Yay Yay - we have Extras!

So this is not only Neil's New car but also his new project as he is restoring it. He started straight away and has dismantled the front part already. I'll be adding some updates on it from time to time and keep you posted on the progress.

Lip Stick!!

What a beautiful little Girl. And don't you LOVE the LIPSTICK!!

I was busy doing something the other day when I heard this little voice beside me saying "Mummy - I pretty like you"!

Looking down I saw this beautiful face.

So we went outside and took some pic's - then we cleaned up.

Lucky for me there was no lipstick on floors or furniture. But I do have to put my handbag up high now.

Happy Mail.

I'm quite lucky to receive a bit of Happy Mail from time to time. Here's a couple of things I've received lately.

Firstly, I received this lovely card from Jacque. (Hi Jacque, Waving).

I used to attend Jacque's Card Making Classes each week in NZ. And I loved them. Alot of the projects I have done in my classes have been inspired by Jacques work. And for me, becoming a Demonstrator was largely inspired by Jacque too.

Thank you for the lovely card Jacque and Yes - I will see you in Canberra.

I also received this chain from my SCS Secret Sister, who told me, she has one herself. It hangs over a lamp in her scrap-room to remind her to stay imaginative. It has butterfly wings inside it. Thank you SCS Big Sis.

I do monthly swaps with Kim & Nadine that bring me a good deal of Happy Mail too. In the last swap I did with Kim the theme was "Inspired by something around the house"

This is one of the projects that Kim sent. As you can see - it is inspired by her Clown Tea Pot. Cool aye? The spots are all shiny and raised up. It must have taken her hours to make.

Thank you Kim.
