Mother's Day 2011


Happy Mother's Day to all! A little late, but blogger decided not to like my pictures for a few days! I hope everyone had a wonderful day. Thought I would share a little bit of ours.

Firstly, it started with a sleep in, and a beautiful breakfast prepared by Nathy! It was SO yummy!! The sauce was from a packet though, and we are in negotiations for Nath trying to make it from scratch for my birthday... which is the next time I will have something so exciting for breakfast at home! 

                                      

My first gift was one that I had requested... some black picture frames from IKEA! Ask and you shall receive  :-)


And I wanted them because the picture on this wall keeps asking me for some friends!


And then I got these... were they for Mother's Day? Let's say yes! Truth be told I got them because I needed them. My last pair have lasted about 10 years. Look out Lexi's mothers group. As discussed today... you will be seeing these soon!


And then came the most precious gifts. This one came home with Emily last week from daycare. It's just so sweet! A cup of tea for mumma. Okay... so this mumma doesn't drink tea. But we sure have had a lot of fun pouring pretend cups of tea, doing a little 'cheers' and then drinking it down. Thanks Emily!! x



And here is it. The best card I have ever received! Nathan helped Emily with this (and I am sure Lexi was the supervisor or something...). The very first pic in this post is the front, and inside is a little snapshot of Emily right now! She is very into drawing faces. We draw them, but she tells us exactly what we need to include. She also likes stars, flowers, and has learnt the letters O, B & E. Random? Yes... but I love that this is everything that's special to her right now.


We also spent lots of time playing outside, having tickle time, and then watched Daddy badly lose at soccer  ;-) And of course that picture that I had to get of me & the girls on Mother's Day didn't happen. I must get better about that! All in all, a wonderful day. So happy and proud to be a mumma!

Easter Getaway!

So we were lucky enough to escape for an entire week for Easter. Destination: my in-laws beach house! Wasn't too hard to deal with  ;-)  Here's how we spent our holiday!

I played Wii for the first time. It was bowling... After I threw the ball, only some of the pins fell down...so I rushed towards the TV ready to push the others over. Everyone seemed to have a problem with this...

I showed Nanna & Pop my fav iPad app, the Wheels on the Bus. They were amazed.

I danced with new friends.

And run barefoot on the grass chasing bubbles.

And then it was Easter.

We ate chocolate.

We ate bunnys.

Poppy & Lexi had a serious talk about Bunnys.

We layed on pretty quilts & hugged bunny friends.

Daddy made me giggle so.

We seriously ate chocolate. Seriously.

We hammed it up for Nanna & Pop.

We played by the beach.

We did things our way. Just because we can.

We posed for pics.

We played with hats.

That fit me & my sister.

We set up dueling sewing machines.

And we sewed and sewed.

Daddy made us both laugh at the same time. He's clever like that.

Toast & I got to know each other really well.

We snuggled on Pop's chair with lovely quilts & watched cartoons.

And we were cute. Just cause.
