Observations of us
“Da, da, dat dah. Dadda dat dah. Da, da dadda dadda dadda dadda dat dah ”
Do you recognise the tune……..? It’s the Angry Birds theme song. Angry Birds is a bit of a hit in our house. It is very addictive and a bit of fun. So when I saw this online I knew we just had to give it a go.
SUPER FUN…… you have to try it!
Linking up with Heather – Life Made Lovely Monday (on Tuesday) xo and Emily – Embrace the Camera.
I am just loving this!!! Today Andrew and I attended our first of ten cooking classes at Jamie’s Ministry of Food – Ipswich. OH MY GOODNESS…. what great FUN!! There was eleven lovely people in our class both local and from Brisbane. Our teacher Louise and the center manager Denalla are just beautiful. This week was all about the EGG!! It was back to the basics but still full of tips and tricks to help any level of home cook. Andrew did an amazing job. He was so careful to follow instructions correctly and his results were better than mine!!!
Next week is Leek and Potato soup …..mmmmm!
Linking up with Paisley Jade – Things I am loving
Yesterday afternoon the rain stopped and the skies began to clear. We dropped in for afternoon tea with our dear friends the Durrington’s. This was the result…… an afternoon full of fun!!
What a wonderful start to the day….. spinning tops at breakfast! We ate our breakfast this morning while playing spinning tops. Lots of laughs, giggles and woohoos!! A wonderful way to put a beautiful smile on your face xo.
Oh I know that toys at the table can be a no no for some. But in our busy lives today the table at meal times is sometimes the only time of the day we all sit and enjoy each other. Life is to short…… lets enjoy it!!!
I am going to link up with Blessed Little Nest again for ‘Life Made Lovely Monday‘ even though it is Thursday!!
Today brought visits from friends and family. Ben enjoys every opportunity to get on the Z50. Today he shared his favourite favourite motorbike with Jayden, Hugo, and Uncle Al. GREAT TIMES!!
Well another Christmas is past. We had a great day in Chinchilla, and of course Santa was ever generous to all.
We started off the day with presents at about 7.30 with Uncle Cam, Aunty Tina, Cousins Tom & Maggie, Uncle Al, Aunty Claire Claire & Cousin Baby Hugo, Nanny Jude and Grandad George.
Well another Christmas is past. We had a great day in Chinchilla, and of course Santa was ever generous to all.
We started off the day with presents at about 7.30 with Uncle Al, Aunty Claire Claire (thats what Ben says) & Cousin Baby Hugo, Uncle Cam, Aunty Tina, Cousins Tom & Maggie, Nanny Jude and Grandad George.
Here is a pic of Benjamin sporting his fancy Christmas clothes from Grandma Colls and Aunty Lorraine (note the mini Santa in his back pocket, very cute). Ben is checking out his new trumpet, which he carried around for most of the day.
The weather man predicted 38 degrees, and I don’t think he was far wrong. Bloody hot !
The kids made good use of Grandad’s makeshift paddling pool to cool down. Mark two was made with the box trailer, some plastic and plenty of duct tape. Worked a treat, have a look at the photos.
Later on the Slip n Slide got a go. Tom tried it out first (to make sure it was safe and OK for Ben). We really didn’t expect Ben to like it, but he really loved it. He was racing back each time for the next shove down the slide.
We finished the morning with a late breakfast. Lots of pancakes, bacon, eggs and english muffins.
Then it was time for lunch. Mum had made a fabulous lunch with baked ham (with her famous glaze) and an array of salads and desserts. In the afternoon Oliver, Emily, Wil and Anita popped in to say hi. The day was filled with food, family, friends and fun. All in all, it was great. Can’t wait till next year.
