Busy - but loving the weekend...

I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is. 


Linking up with: PaisleyJade

1) Precious Daddy/Daughter times after work - always big smiles and cuddles and happy clapping when Daddy gets home... so lovely to see:


2) Our ALMOST-toddler:






3) New shoes (and bed hair - hehehe) that have been tried, tested and approved! These days they get handed to me if I am not quick enough putting them on:




4) Loving Aunty's:


5) Road trips with Sleeping Angels (she only slept 35 minutes of the 3 hour trip, but she was happy the rest of the way - a mighty miracle, as she has not been a good traveller previously):


6) A birthday boy who turned 1 three weeks after his cousin did:


6) Family who gathered to celebrate Munchkin's 1st birthday:





7) Fathers and children - both of whom are wearing the overalls that Gran made them (children that is):


8) A messy house - means a happy baby. Can you see her in this photo? I promise you she is there:


9) A house always available for us to use in Tauranga thanks to my wonderful in-laws!

10) Safe journey to Tauranga and back, and a baby who travelled well - so SO grateful for that... you have no idea! The previous trips always seen me in the back trying to pacify a screaming child for at least half the trip - this weekend was almost perfection, a few grizzles but NO screaming whatsoever!

So much more to be grateful for - but running out of oooomph... currently my bed is top of my list, and I seriously need some sleep!

So - goodnight one and all,
Elizabeth

It was lovely having you come!
And I love the grey cardigan - is that a Nanna special (looks similar to the pink and blue ones last year)?

VERY Belated Ninja-Bake Post...

Image
It's funny how things work out... I wasn't planning on doing the Ninja Bake, but it had been niggling me a little bit; I had the confidence and the time this year to actually do this, and it seemed such a cool thing. SO, eventually I made an effort to read up on it, only to discover that the registrations to be a 'Baker' had closed the day before - so I figured 'it wasn't meant to be'! Next thing I know - there was an e-mail from  Sophie  thanking me for registering; with enough other details for me to realise that she had the wrong Elizabeth, in the wrong city! But it was a 'God-Incidence', and I just knew it! So I e-mailed her straight back, explained the alter-ego issue, but also let her know I actually was keen... and that is how it got started! I registered, but it was decided I would pick two families myself - which I had been thinking of doing anyway! So I duly went up to Button's Preschool and asked the lovely Head Teacher to

Commenting...

Image
Loads of people are commenting on the most recent changes in Blogger; most annoyingly, now you have to verify two words, not one... and they are VERY difficult to read. To the point it is almost ridiculous; and some people have stopped commenting altogether. I have finally worked out (after much frustration) how to turn off 'Word Verification', and am only using the 'Comment Moderation' tool now! Yay for me...  Linking in  here   and  here !   So please come back and comment on my blog again, it's all easy-peasy once more; nothing too difficult or annoying  ;-)!

Burnt Potatoes and other things that make me GRUMPY!!!!!

Image
Tuesday 16th November 2010 I had a bit of a burning problem today... not sure if I should be admitting it or not, but here it is! I, ahhh - burnt the potatoes I was cooking for dinner! Burnt the potatoes I hear you say - how on earth...???!!!! It's really quite simple; I had expected Button to not want to go to bed for another 20-30 minutes, but she cracked up earlier than I had anticipated, and when she cracks - she CRACKS! So I just popped upstairs to put her down, normally this 'little' job only takes about 10-15 minutes, as she quietly 'chats' herself to sleep in my arms. But NO - today she screamed for the first 10 minutes, and then she took another 15 or so minutes to actually settle down and go to sleep... it wasn't until I was in the middle of this saga that I remembered the potatoes AND pumpkin were both cooking on the stove on HIGH!!!!!  As time went on, I could smell the burning; but I also knew that if I popped Button down I'd have to start
