No more night nappies...

Hey guess what ? The LM has no more night nappies.YEAH YEAH YEAH 

maybe I am jumping the gun a bit bit it feels good.

I am so happy he is 3 and a half and this is kinda of the last thing to stop from being a baby to a big boy.

We were naughty and promised him any thing from the toy shop if he didn't wet last night.

So this morning about 7.00am he came in to tell me no wet bed,I was so proud.

PS he got some little leap frog computer for being good and it was his choice although I had to lead him away from the loud noisy guns...couldn't handle that ha ha

love 

   

Easter Sunday.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone thanks for reading and supporting my little blog.

I love doing it and love the emails I

receive and the comments I get so I hope you all  get lots of chocolate Easter Eggs today and then pig out on them -Forget the calories.

Just remember to eat as many eggs as you can but just have a diet coke to even it out.ha ha

I bought this wonderful carrot holder  for the Easter Bunny's Carrot.

LM said the bunny didn't eat all the carrot because he wanted Easter eggs .I think it is because  I forgot to "eat" the carrot .Oh well  cute holder and in the end the LM loved it.

Look where the Bunny put these eggs ...

Benny the Bug Easter basket was filling up with eggs.

Worn out.

Too much fun and chocolate...

Benny with some of his haul.

Tonight Kev's parents and sister and brother in law all came for dinner and even Kerry came so we just had a wonderful dinner at our house of cooked pork baked dinner.

And I was one very happy lady

                                                                      

Easter Saturday

Well it's Easter Saturday and I am still not feeling good but Lisa and Alan are coming over tonight.

Well they came over and I made lasanga and a yummy salad  and we just had a great time as usual catching up.Kev and Alan got a lttle (lots) tipsy which is so funny in itself.

                                         This morning I decided to make an Easter tree.

                                      What you say -Yeah I know weird but cute ha ha

Paint some sticks white....(Actually get your husband to do it he he he )

Place in your pot and add eggs.

I think it looks great.

Kevins shadow

The little man is Kevin's shadow.  He always has been. Anyway on the weekend Kev 'YEAH' finally put a light in my pantry ( mum it's great -so now I can stop whingeing) well all the time Kev was doing it the LM was beside him helping UNTIL

                                                            Kev went into the roof

Sob Sob Sob- DA don't you want a little fellow to help you? (LM exact words)

This comment from  LM cracked me up.DA I know you up there I hear you with my ears..

Any way Kev did come down LM was very happy to see him and

they continued to work on the light.

Job well done my boys.

Later that night LM decided to fix my pictures.

                                    
                                   At one stage he was using his toy hammer to to hit  on the photos .....I just thought Oh no is this what it is going to be like as he gets bigger........No worse yelled Kev.


Also something I always remember   Happy 101st Birthday to my nana (my mothers mother)

It is a bit weird writing this as Nana has passed away a long time ago but I always remember her birthday and think about what a great Nana I had.
                                                         
                                                           So Nana Happy Birthday

Love you Nana and miss you always.

Away and Away

I am so glad we are home,Don't get me wrong I loved seeing mum and John and the LM enjoyed it as well but is is just great to be back in my bed my chair and my mess opps forget the mess ha ha .

Although while away I managed to get finished a few craft pieces yeah.....about time.I know Mel Kerrys best friend was due to have her baby in early May so I thought better get my finger out and do something about it...

So I made this baby blanket for Kerry's best friend (my second daughter) ,.I first saw a blanket

like this on Sherry website it was beautiful and i fell in love with it..I did try to contact her about what sort of wool etc but we went away before her reply came through. so i made my own version up and hoped it worked .

Please check out Sherry;s blog there are some really beautiful items there and the site is beautiful.

All I used was 5 balls of JAZZ and 5 balls  of PARADE made 45 chain.1 dc into every stitch till end and that's it,when it got to the lenght  I wanted I turned it around and did about 5 rows around the whole rug.

Oh I forgot I used a 15mm  crotchet hook.

Also when finished I threaded ribbon in it,

Looks beautiful if i must say so ha ha I used white ribbon for the blanket but Mel caled while we were away and she has had a little girl.So I am changing the ribbon to pink.

Now this is great,I started this rug for Kerry ages ago like last year sometime - then I didn't want to finish it so my wonderful mum did a couple of rows of dc around the edges  then her and my dad made the tassels(big job)

thanks mum looks superb and Kerry loves it.

I also bagged up my gifts for Emma the little girl with cancer i just wrote about.Now just got to post it.

Mum did hers for Emma  as well.

After getting treatment one day with Tom - Kev and I deiced to go to the Bundy Distillery,it was great,Took our mind off things

Kev and friend

Shock......I got my photo taken.

Last night at the motel and we had room service -meal was yum.

Kev wanted a cheese plate so this is what he got and he ate it all as well.
