Day 99 - Happy Easter!

Well the chocolate did come later and indeed this little egg cup that the Easter Bunny brought Henry did have chocolate in it, but I managed to get Henry to eat a proper breakfast first! He did enjoy his first ever boiled egg out of the shell too. I am looking forward to next year when Henry understands a bit more and we can have a real proper egg hunt in the back yard. Happy Easter!

Day 98 - Kitchen of My Dreams

So at this stage maybe it is a bit of a dream, but Dale and I had planned to look at some display homes this weekend. There is a new land release coming up in the Canberra area very soon and it has gotten us both thinking about building a house for the first time. It is very inspiring looking at all of these beautiful houses and looking at how fashions in homes change has been interesting as well. We do have a big house already, but I always find that the utility areas such as the laundry, kitchen and walk in robe could be bigger. This is the kitchen of the house that has captured my heart at this stage... with all that storage for appliances and even 'a butler's kitchen' (seems that is one of the latest things), I can just see myself cooking up a storm in here!

Day 97 - Birthday Girl

Well it isn't Robbie's birthday until Monday, but we enjoyed a birthday gathering at Robbie's place in the Blue Mountains tonight. As you can tell in the picture, Robbie was very pleased with her ladybug birthday cake and we all enjoyed the cake as well, which was delicious! Happy Birthday for Monday, Robbie!

Day 96 - Term 1 Done and Dusted

The Easter Hat parade signals the end of term 1, and that is where we, thankfully, found ourselves today. I love the effort that many families go to, to make Easter hats and I even remember doing Easter Hat parades when I was at primary school myself... although I am pretty sure that my Easter bonnets were unlike some of the wild creations that I saw today! This little boy kind of reminded me of a canary and I like how a masquerade mask was used in it!

Meanwhile the term has ended and I am looking forward to getting all sorts of things done these school holidays, as usual!

Day 95 - Work Catch Up

Wednesdays are my afternoon when I am able to stay a little later at work, as Dale picks up Henry in the afternoon (other than that he always does mornings). I try to get as many things done as I can, such as marking, photocopying and like today, hanging up artwork (I use clothes pegs). As it is week 11, the motivation to get a whole heap of things done was a little bit lower than usual today and I left early to finish my easter egg shopping.

Day 94 - Quick Recovery

Somehow I have gotten out of taking Henry for his last two lots of vaccinations. Today Dale took him for his latest round and when I asked later how it went, Dale noted that Henry did cry but he got over it very quickly and I do think that this photo with his Daddy demonstrates that! Now if only he could get over the pain of his latest teeth we would all be sleeping a little easier!

Day 92 - Coffee Anyone?

No it's really only milk froth, but Henry does love a babycino. Today when Dale had a short black I grabbed an extra miniature cup for Henry so he could have one like his Dad. At first he seemed to think he wasn't allowed to drink from it, but it didn't take him long to get used to it and produce this cheeky grin!
