Today!

is the first of August!

I didn't blog once in July!

In fact in July, I didn't download the photos from my cameras.

I filled the memory card on both!
(both would be the little snappy, snappy in my hand bag as well as the 'good' camera)

We were on school holidays for two weeks in July and we had the busiest holidays we have ever had. Normally we go to the park, and go to the beach... lots... but this time we went to the movies twice, had one on one days with Nanny, caught up with friends, went to tennis camp and the specialist of all is a certain little someone turned SIX!



the big deal about being six, is you need two hands to show your age when someone asks how old you are!

you can't have a birthday without some friends to help you celebrate.

so we invited a few.
just to come for afternoon tea and some games.....
not for a PARTY.

parties are hard work and this mother can get very stressed.

so they played, and they ate and I took some pics of them,
and then they scrapbooked the pics and I put it in a frame and that was their take home goodies.

at the end of it all, I wiped the table and vaccuumed the floor.

there were 4 little girls that thought I was a legend.

and two mum's inparticular were very impressed :)




ahhhhh, it good to be back!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's. My lucky DH got a Can-O-Worms Worm Farm! Lol. We (the girls and I) have wanted one for some time and I did a class run by the local Council a couple of months ago so DH (very kindly) decided that is what he needed!

Right now he is enjoying the news paper and a coffee in bed and tonight we are going to BBQ.

Have a good one....

Diary of an (old) pampered pooch!

8.00am - still in bed, cuddled up with blankee...

9.00am inside, on duty, protecting red cushions

10.00am Front door patrol

11.00am lamenting my unmade bed

12 noon patrolling at back door

1pm back to keep blankee company

2pm back in side, green cushions to protect

2.25pm oops, nodded off, protecting green cushions

3pm back to her best, this time noting my now made bed

4.00pm, will they be home soon?

5pm no one understands the trials I endure!
