An amazing dinner out.

Sadly, my computer has been in repair and it looks like my HD is in a bad state, and I may possibly lose a lifetime of photos - I dont care about anything else, but my photos...there's no going back there. This makes me sad. I'm not thinking or worring too much about it until I know for certain. So, for now I'm uploading photos and blogging on DD's computer for my last Blogtober post! He lost everything on his HD last week, the computer guys believe it may have been caused by an electrical storm we had last week. Crazy stuff.

Following on from my last post, we managed to make our eyeball biscuits - this was fun! We got to the Halloween party...the girls were as shy as anything to begin with, you wouldn't think looking at these pre party pics, but really...Halloween for a 3 and 4 yr old is scary stuff! They warmed up when they saw the jumping castle.

DD and I got married on Halloween. We eloped to Vietnam. We had already been together 10 yrs, so eloping was a good decision. We've been married for 10 yrs...yes, together for 20!! So, a little time together will be nice tomorrow. We're really excited about an uniterrupted nights sleep and sleep in, while the girls sleep over at the grandparents. Nice.

Happy Halloween...

Spooky Party - Day 22

The girls are invited to a Halloween party tomorrow. I wish I had the time to make these vibrant cupcakes.

Though it seems I will probably only have time for these...

The Peeler

Me: "Amie, if food drops on the floor don't pick it up and eat it like you normally do because there's a mouse in our house and I've seen mouse poo."

Amie: "That's ok mum! I've eaten lots of carrots and I have good eyes to find him."

That's 4 carrot shavings worth, right there. The girl likes her carrots, accentuated by the discovery of how theraputic it feels to peel them.

Minibeasts - Day 19

 

I've missed a couple of blog post through pure exhaustion. Helping my sister move into her apartment, traveling Ikea aisles for 4 hrs! Preparing our backyard for this special arrival - the girls are all over this cubby...and I'm feeling some vintageness is in order.

So, while clearing the back miss beast and her eggs was spotted and I rushed for the macro. I was a little too frightened to get any closer in case it jumped on my face.

More busy days ahead... 

Remembering Mary-Jane

Today we walked to remember our little friend MJ.

All our love and support goes out to her family.

We love you and miss you little MJ.

His Craft - Day 15

Sharing - the other half's craft because there's none of mine happening right now.

P.S. He's not fat and smelly...rather spunky, actually.

On my evening walk...day 13



I love living in this little town...it soothes me.

Day 11 - All things Green

I did a quick veg shop after work today and as I unpacked everything I noticed how quickly the kitchen bench was filling with green! Basil would have to be by far my favourite green...the scent is just divine.

I've always cooked with fresh vegetables, it's the way I've been brought up. Plus, there's something wholesome & therapeutic in chopping raw veggies, as oppose to opening up a freezer bag. I'm not saying frozen veggies are no good, I'm just not use to that way of living. Our biggest delight has always eaten her veggies raw - carrots, beans, peas (frozen! our only type) she really likes the crunch factor.

Anyway, after all this goodness above and eating a brilliant seafood salad for dinner, I succumbed to a raspberry shortcake biscuit. It's been 11 days and my will power has been extraordinary otherwise. I must say though, I am eating more fat but I'm not feeling fat(yet), so that's got to be a good thing.
