Mothers Day

I was treated to some lovely gifts and flowers then a picnic in the park for a late lunch - champagne and all :) Truly spoilt and blessed.

Saturday 12 May - super heroes

Our friend Agnes looked after Jos (well we put her to sleep then went out) so we could go to Brady's 30th birthday party - a superhero party. Hubby could not drive in his slighty tight outfit and going to the loo was apparently quite an affair LOL in an all in one suit that is tight. hehehe

Slap bet - Friday 11th May

Jacques ordered us these shirts on teefury. He has several shirts from there. They have a different t-shirt everyday and if you miss it, you miss out. Anyway, if you watch 'How I met your mother' you would appreciate the slap bet. And of course it was the first time I wore my shirt (hubby has the exact same so we need to make sure we dont wear them the same day..although he would probably make me change!!(He would claim he got dressed first!!!) Apart from the show HIMYM there are also a few people who I reckon could do with a good slap! So I wear this also to express my own slapping desires. I am not violent and won't go around slapping people but just the thought is a little liberating. That doesn't sound very Christian - but an example - Kim Kardashian is married for less than 100 days? Seriously? Angelina Jolie wants to put on weight for her wedding, um, what? I have more personal examples but save those for another time perhaps. Laters

These boots were made for walking... Wednesday 9 May

Jos and I went grocery shopping and daddy met us there. As we approached the end of our shopping session Jos spied these boots. I had to remove them from the shelf. She then promptly sat herself down in the middle of the aisle and stuck a foot out indicating that I must put it on. The boots still had the labels and those plastic goodies holding them together. Did this bother her? No! She took smaller steps and reminded me of the slaves one sees with their feet bound. She happily shuffled along to show daddy. Did we buy them..of course. They are a size too big but she has already enjoyed exploring the garden in them while I hung up the washing. This girl totally owns my heart!

Tuesday 8th May

Isn't this little guy just the cutest. Reuben Friend, almost 4 weeks old now. Only due last week but Reuben decided he wanted to make an early appearance and arrived on the day we had planned a farewell tea for his mummy (her last day was to be the next day) . I finally met him last week Tuesday and got to cuddle him. He is absolutely precious! Yes, it made me feel rather 'clucky' as I would like another little one to add to our little unit - but that is a whole different story and in the Lord's hands. Anyway Zoey is blessed with this gorgeous little boy and the sweetest little 3 year old girl, Mayana. Zoey is a work friend and a wonderful person to know. She is inspirational - a delightful person who the Lord shines through. I can see she is a great mum plus she is crafty, has a great blog and is great at her job and dealing with people. Anyway looking at this new miracle I could not help but think how amazing the Lord is to knit a human being together in his/her mummy's womb. It amazes me that people can't see God's work in this. It truly is amazing and awesome! Thank you Lord for the honour of being a mum, for the blessing of kids and for the inspiration of Zoey who really does delight in her family.

Friday May 4th

Yipeeeeeeee. Our new bed arrived. King size, super comfy! So big that when I tried to elbow hubby when he was snring, even with my arm outstretched I could not reach him. Subsequently (due to this and the fact that the duvet/doona seems 'smaller' now - even though king size!) I now sleep closer to the middle and further from the edge than I used to. IT is lovely!!!!! And Jos kindly slept through the first night we had the new bed. Whoop whoop :) Anyway, almost 2 weeks of new 'bed-dom' and still loving it. Plus it means we have our old bed (which is still pretty comfy) as a spare bed.

Happy happy hubby -3rd May

Got hubby a cordless drill/screw driver for his birthday and the new counting crows cd. We had coffee and he opened his presents. Jos got him some nice pj pants, slippers and a mug with a lid coz he never gets to finish hot coffee as she loves dragging us around the house and playing :) Sadly I was stuck in a meeting from the start of first break all into second break...so I had no chance to sit with hubby at school and enjoy some carrot cake or cupcakes with some of the other staff but he was able to share that out which was good. I skipped zumba so i could go home and make his surprise dinner. On arriving home I saw this rainbow, yay. Anyway I made seafood paella with prawns and all :) I picked out the prawns coz i dont really like them. Apart from that it was yummy yummy. Maybe next year I will try the mussel pasta he wants to try LOL

Baking with Buttercup

Baking cupcakes for daddy's birthday. Jos enjoyed licking out the bowl, although preferred using a spoon than using her fingers anymore :)

Say cheese - Tuesday 1 May

I had to drive to Hervey Bay to the dentist all by myself. I have only driven there once before and that was when Joscelyn was about 7 months old to return the car seat capsule goodie. It was not as scary as that day, although going to the dentist is never fun! Anyway the drive wasnt too bad. The dentist was young and his dental assistance was a Sarah who held my hand for injections. Truth be told, besides all the tubes they put in, this is the first time in a long time that I did not feel my tooth getting pains. Even my nose was numb from the injection. Whoop whoop. I also took the opportunity to stop at Target before heading home :) Yay. The drive was not as scary as I remembered but not having a baby in the car definitely helps I think. I worry that people will drive like fools especially when she is in the car.

April 29th

Sadly no pic at the minute - waiting for it to come through from my phone to email. Maybe another time. We indulged in a pork roast with our same friends who visited on Wed. They popped past again on their way back to Brisbane after their camping trip. It was great to catch up with them again eat yummy roast and crackling and of course some yummy cupcakes Jacques made the previous day. Woohooo

28 April - shopping with the girls :)

The little girls stayed with their daddy's while the mommies went out the WHOLE day shopping. It was good to get out despite spending much of the day talking about our little ones :) Left at 7am and got home around 6pm. I was hoping to buy this piggy (the colourfull spotty one) but we didnt get back to it. Next time :) Ate a most delicious lunch - lamb shank :) and mash. Then I got home to a present from Jos of a gecko outside wall hanging goodie. Also a kind of bird feeder. Then there were red velvet cupcakes that they made and yummy chicken tikka masala. Hmmmmm.

April 27th - my 34th birthday

Cappucino with marshmallows in bed (Josci had her tea) opened presents - got zumba dvds, a biscuit baking tray and yay finally a pink mini leatherman. Jos and I spent the day together and then when daddy got home he surprised me with 'bucket of ribs' for dinner. yummy. Now anotehr year wait until my 35th birthday
