DD 10 = 12-17th February 2012

12th February 2012:


Sunday afternoon saw us popping down to the shops for the express purpose of buying a fan for me... it is getting HOT!

But in the end - it was a fun afternoon for Button, and no fan for me! The photos probably don't need much explanation ;-)!

Have I ever mentioned my daughter is obsessed with flowers? Top right photo - this happens EVERY.SINGLE.TIME we walk into New World, she goes down past the flowers and stops to sniff almost every single one! It is never a quick trip ;-)!

Oh, and in case you're wondering... Mr.C came home with a fan for me on Valentines Day instead!

My To-Do list of housework = COMPLETED! Trust me, this was worth a photo, as it doesn't happen very often ;-)!

!VALENTINES DAY (all that plus said fan)!

15th February 2012:


We had a storm come over Auckland... this was the day of the water spout in the city harbour (for those of you who are local). Button and I got to watch it come down south - amazing to watch as it got closer and closer. Button LOVED it, as the next photos show:


The top right photo shows you just how dark it really got that afternoon...

One very bored toddler waiting for Daddy to get home from work... turned out she was starting to come down sick, but we weren't aware of this then!

The cow photo blends in with your photo, and I had to look twice to make sure you were not referring to yourself..... :-(.

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 pass on the name…

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 hereand 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!!!!!

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 again, …
