puppet making

No homework tonight...just some drawing and baking a banana bread.

OH and some puppet drawing. Doesn't it look like the woman has had some collagen injections? hee

Just for you

My son hates these 'feet' shots...so this is for you Mr! :P

city to surf

Still tired from Sunday's little trip to Bondi. We got up at 4:30am and left at 1:05pm! it was a LONG day. That truck full of newspapers are the newspapers we had to put in bags and hand out...there were so many. The good thing is we went to sizzler after :) bad thing is I am still exhausted, I have muscles sore that I didn't even know existed.

pink cupcakes

I had my youngest son with me today due to illness. Yes! on my free day. Why is it they get sick during my days off? hmm it is very suspicious I tell you! After a dose of panadol he was feeling a little better so I asked him if he wanted to make cupcakes with his momma. He agreed but I had run out of butter and couldn't find the recipe for the cupcakes..GRR so had to take him to the shops to stock up on a few ingredients. By the time we got home I quickly made some dinner as the other three would be home soon, and while that was cooking I started on the cupcakes but my little helper was feeling dizzy so I ended up preparing them on my own. (Mr Potato Head was no help) :P

I got these pretty pastel patty liners and I had a hard time deciding whether or not to use them. I kept thinking to myself 'they are just paper' but at the same time I couldn't bare to use them, they are so pretty. I was hoping to make a garland as featured here and here....ah well. I will have to get some more and try to making the garland another time.

scribbles

[+] Not great drawings, but I've always said I am not good at drawing.  Now if you were to ask me to do a more complicated drawing then I would fail miserably.  Included in the drawings are a few of my favourite things, I have plenty more, in fact I could name at least 20 but I thought I would keep it simple ;)

[+] I thought I would mention that this Sunday is the City to surf which I will be attending.  Before you think I am running in it (I can barely make it to the corner), I along with many others will be handing out newspapers to passers by.  We volunteer as a group to raise money for our pathfinders (a group that is very similar to scouts) the only problem is the we have to wake up super early.  I have a hard time waking up at 7:30! The reason I am mentioning this is Andres and I are trying to play match makers for my baby sister and want to invite them both to come along.  My fingers are crossed that they both go, they are both so shy.

[+] It is Andres birthday today! he turned 41 and felt like having 'bistec a lo pobre' which translated is poor man's steak.  It is steak with fries and a fried egg.   Very boring..I know, but it is what he wanted. I will make him a cake this weekend to celebrate his special day.

finally

Finally I am able to put my feet up. I have been on my feet all day. I went to buy some new shirts & black leggings for myself, but before I buy anything I go to all the shops to see who has the best price. It took me two hours! Got home to madly cook and clean the house. My feet are achey!

I also bought myself a kinder as I hadn't bought myself one in a long time. I love them.



Does anyone watch 'one born every minute' on SBS? last week this mum had her grown up teenager son with her while in labour...it put him off completely. This week there is a mad woman getting upset at her husband. It's hilarious! It starts at 8:30pm.

miss you

The right side of my bed is empty...until tomorrow night anyway.  Thank goodness! I hardly slept at all last night, meanwhile Andres is sleeping in his car :/  He had to go to Tamworth & Tuncurry, what a shame I couldn't tag along.
