Clever or Naughty.

 I can't decide whether the Little man is clever or is he naughty?I wonder what you will think...

 

 

What ! nothing here,What are you going on about Dee? It's just a stool and a chair-So what...

 

Yep picture says it all.

 

Hooters

Well I have to admit this  my boy is a  Hooters fan.You  know Hooters the restaurant  .It all started when Ashley had his 21st  birthday dinner there well the LM loved it...He loved the way the waitresses were friendly to him and played games with him and he also got cuddles.Yep he loved it....
Anyway when he turned 5 he wanted to go to Hooters for his birthday dinner,..OK we went...........

 Mum took these pictures and didn't get one of her to show..Doesn't the LM look happy with the present Kerry gave him..Me and my wonderful husband ( I think he likes Hooters as well) ...Kerry and Emmanuel.what a cute couple...

 The girls were wonderful and made LM feel really special...Look at his smile he is so happy....Thanks girls

 The girls brought out his cake and ice cream with a sparkler in out and sang and danced a birthday song for him .Nothing was to much trouble for them.

 More cake and girls...The LM had a burger and fries....Kev had steak and he said it was great...

I didn't want to make a big cake as he had that at his party so I made a small one and it went down well....Hooters you did well.food was great service was outstanding and I would tell anyone to take the family there for dinner....Thanks girls for making the LM's birthday special for  him...

Up Up and Away

Recently we had the LM's 5th birthday party....Now what party isn't a party without balloons...,Previously  when we have party's  we hire  a  gas cylinder and  blow up the balloons and then presto the  ' Party' starts to come together ....However this year I decided to do things differently.I called Spotlight  to order 10 helium filled balloons now when I was talking to her I asked how much these were  when she told me the cost I thought I may as well get them to do all the balloons as it would be cheaper.So I changed the order to 40 helium filled balloons in Lego colours....I am a Legend I thought how clever to do it this way....Yeah I am a Legend alright real smart......

I told Kevin on the morning of the party to pick up the birthday cake and then get the balloons.Normal request? yeah I thought so too.   I also asked him to take the LM with him so I could get things ready without him....Yeah things are going great  or so I thought till Kev walks in and asks "Who's idea was it to order 40 balloons for me to pick up????.Duh  It was me....(Dumb question Dumber answer ) "why?"mum and I both asked together...."well come outside and have a look" So out we go ........

 Here is our car filled to the brim with balloons and I mean filled......"where is LM?" I asked -at that moment out pops a little boy smiling -he had been squashed into his car seat with the balloons all over him.When they picked up the balloons the LM asked Kev "where am I going to sit Da?"Kev thought who knows.and just laughed....

 Then through all the laughter mum started to help get the balloons out of the car -it was windy and a breeze got her and I thought she was gone......

It seemed to be never ending bunches of balloons blowing in the breeze.Me laughing as they tried to get the balloons out.Do you know how hard it is to take photos while you are laughing.......

We got them all in and released them in the dinning room.They looked great .....and the rest is history...

Moral of the story is -...........Don't order 40 helium balloons and ask your husband to pick them up in a sports car unless you have a good way to make it up to him.....giggle.

Shopping

I ventured out on Thursday because BigW emailed me to say my photo order was in and being the impatient person that I am I couldn't wait till Kev got home to pick it up so off I went......Big mistake....
The drive in was just a bit too much for me (we have a manual car ) and then the walking around to get to the shop and walking around in the shop  like I said I paid for it....I was one very sore old  lady but also a happy old lady with the bits I bought.....Here are a few I can't post ALL of the items because Kevin will see them ha ha .

The large one is a canvas of the Little Man and the others are called photo blocks.Which are photos mounted onto thick board you either hang them or they can stand up...

More photo blocks and key rings and this is what the blocks look like from the side view...

The sign saying Family Friends etc won't be looking like that soon .I bought it with plans for it..My giant cupcake tin yummy..Oh I bought some cookies from the cookie man-double yum..

This cute doll is for Aidan's friend Little Charlie she is turning 4 on the weekend.I love this book and have wanted it for a little while.OMG Crunchies who put that in?

The Little Man is going to look so cute in these red skinny leg jeans.Of course I had to get the AC/DC
T'shirt and I just loved the other little shirt...

More shirts I have  just realised  that I love red and grey on the LM well it is obvious when you look at the above items ha ha .Also had to get him boring undies and singlets Oh well you can't but fun things all the time.Till next time Bye

My Giant Cupcake

The other day I went shopping and finally I bought a giant cupcake tin.  How weird you say...But I have always loved them ..... .I bought mine in HOUSE (gee I love that store) for $25.

 Isn't she  beautiful ( I am talking about my  cake tin here ha ha ).I told my best friend Lisa about these tins and she said she got herself  one from Kmart  for $6 and said next time she went there she would get me one.Thanks Lisa I appreciate that.

Anyway I am one impatient lady so I rang our local Kmart -NONE all sold out.,then I rang a couple of other stores and got the same story..So I rang the store in QLD that is near my mum's and YES !!!! they have some  so I got them to put away 3 as Kev was going up to the Gold Coast today to pick up the boy and he can bring them back...,Well he only needs to bring back 2 tins -one for me and one for Kerry the other tin is for my mum  .Doesn't matter if I have 2 tins.but guess what ??????????? Lisa sent me an email She went into her local Kmart and got me one Yeah I now have three which will be good as well .

Today is my nephew Trey's 3rd birthday so guess what I made him????(don't worry got him a pressie as well ) I made my first giant cupcake.....,

Looks good even if I say so myself ha ha

Betty Crockers frosting yum...I know I should make my own frosting but there is only one word for  it  LAZY....

 

It took 2 cake mix packets but could have used 3.Next time I am going to use 3 and cook the top first  then I will cook the bottom half.I am real pleased how this one turned out because 2 packets of mix   didn't fill the tin properly .Still looks alright.tastes good as well.The Little Man helped me ice the cake with chocolate frosting on the bottom and vanilla  frosting on top with sprinkles.

 

So if you have a birthday coming up watch out as you might just end up with a giant cupcake waiting for you.

Peanut

Hi
Today is a strange post...Well it is for me.I am elated beyond belief  but scared as well..Seven weeks ago Kerry (my daughter) and her partner Emmanuel went away to the snow for a holiday  what I didn't know was Kerry had gone shopping and bought something to which she used on the Friday night before  they  went to the snow and this has changed every ones lives forever....

Below is what happened on the Monday.......I wrote the following after she left me to go spread the news.. the feelings i experienced  were so intense that I had to put my thoughts  down so I would always remember how I felt at that moment....So the story begins......

Monday 9th July....
Kerry went away to the snow this weekend and was suppose to go on to Melbourne.But she rang and said she had to come back home.I thought nothing of it till I saw Emmanuel walk in with her..OMG I thought they have gotten engaged ...my tummy was doing back flips but I kept my cool.I looked down at her hand and no diamond was there ! What !!!!!!!!!!

Finally Kerry said she has some news for me.They wanted to wait till Kev was here but couldn't wait  till he finished work ......

Big breath here....drum roll......
  
 THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY...

 

 

This picture was taken at the snow knowing they were going to have a baby...

I was stunned and couldn't talk Kerry kept  saying sit down mum sit down.Then the tears came and they haven't stopped.....My baby girl is going to be a mother,Yeah she is 29 but she is still my baby
and now there is a little peanut on the way,She is 5 weeks pregnant,and I am going to be a Nana,The whole time while I was sick I have had horrible and dark  thoughts that I didn't have a grandchild and maybe I wouldn't be around to see it or Kerry  but I prayed to God to get me better so I could see this happen and to hold my grand baby.I prayed and prayed and although I never told anyone not even Kevin or my mum The thought of one day having a grand baby is what I feel got me through and put me on the road to getting well.

Kerry is my only child ...I left her father when she was 15 so it feels like it has always been me and her against the world and now ...Oh thank you God thank you for keeping your part of the bargain...

I cant post this yet till she is 12 weeks pregnant as she has asked me to hold off till they have a scan to see that all is well  The joy and happiness I am feeling at this moment is unbelievable.my heart is so swollen with happiness (which probably isn't a good thing considering I have a heart problem  ha ha )I wish both Kerry and Emmanuel all the best as they embark on this journey called' Children.'..

Please God keep Kerry and Peanut safe.

So fast forward to today.....Kerry had her 12week scan and everything is fine....Peanut is good 10 fingers 10 toes and  a healthy heart beat ..We have to wait till 20weeks to see if it is a pink or a blue peanut...Aidan said it is a little girl.
He has heard Kev and I talking and he  asked Kerry if she had a baby in her tummy'.Yes' she said to which he replied"did you swallow it? " I quickly changed the subject while on the  inside I was laughing a treat both at what he said and the look on Kerry's face.

So below is another shock.Or at least it was for me. A 3D scanned picture of Peanut....

 

I have never seen a 3D scan so this really shocked me. Mostly because I thought Peanut would still look like a embryo and  not like  a baby and when Kev saw it he said "Peanut looks like he is playing peak a boo" with his little hands up to his face...So I am already getting joy from him. I keep saying HIM I would love to have  a granddaughter  FIRST but I think this time Peanut is a little Boy.Who cares I love him so much I don't really  care as long as he is healthy.

We laugh alot because Kerry is dark hair and olive skinned  and her father was French while Emmanuel is also olive skinned and is Portuguese.....We said they will have a little brown eyed - olive skinned baby with RED hair...(after me he he he ) 

So that's it for today .I am just so happy and happy and happy words fail me.Although you wouldn't think so reading my post .Thanks so much and hang on and enjoy the ride with me....

 

Oh Shit I really am going to be a Nana -poor Kevin is sleeping with a Grandmother.

Monster spray

A while ago I posted a picture of a Monster spray I made so the LM wouldn't be scared of the monsters in his room anymore.
monster spray

 Now I was happy with this design but thought what if I want to make more there has to be an easier way instead of doing everything by hand.

 This is what you get after spraying the room with monster spray.A little boy sound asleep and no more monsters

So this is my new design .I have it on a word document and when I work out how to link it here I will.So now I am happy and can make a few of these for gifts...Watch out monsters the spray is going to get you.ha ha

                   

Night time craft

I have said before I can't sleep at night very well due to the pain and I am sick of taking pain killers (I mean they are not aspro or panadol we are talking big league pain killers) so I just try to grin and bear it for as long as I can.So while I am doing this I tend to go into the craft room as to not disturb Kev
The other night I thought what can I  do ???? I have heaps of projects on the go at once.Who does one thing at a time and finishes before starting another one  ?not me .... so I ended up doing   some bits and pieces but that wasn't taking my mind off the pain then I remembered my lamp in the lounge room.

Pretty boring I know so I found some white paint and starting painting...

Now I really like it.I also love how it looks against the feature wall.Yeah ....
But the next night the same again-the pain was unbelieveable so what did I do?

Yep that's right I painted the table in the same colour leaving the top stained.Actually when I bought this table it was pine so I stained it with a strong mix of coffee.

Like before I am very happy with the result.

Love my little brown birds a gift from my mum...

So sorry about the wonky shade but I couldn't fix it and wanted to take these photos.Looks great now that all is fixed and straightened.

Oh I also repainted this frame with a picture of me and Kerry to see how it would turn out.

So I told Kev just leave the white paint in the craft room and who knows what you will wake up to ha ha .

Little Red Dress

Our little grandaughter is getting christened in October and me being me (makes sense) has already bought her gifts.We got her the normal Bunnykins things ,You know what I mean things that arn't really exciting but you just get and keep them in your china cabinet gathering dust BORING but I still like them ha ha
