At The Movies...

My Mum gave Kaleb two movie tickets for his birthday last week. So, we seized the opportunity that  a public holiday brings, and asked Kaleb's Mum to watch the boys for us this morning.

It has been so long since I have been to a cinema, I think almost 2 years! Of course it was Kaleb's choice of film, so I was a little apprehensive. In the end, he chose well and I totally enjoyed Jack the Giant Slayer! Lots of funny lines, romance, action and disgusting giants! I love Ewan McGregor and he didn't disappoint in this film.

 

Jumbo Popcorn and Cokes at 8:30am? Well it was a treat!

 

 

What have you seen at the movies lately?

My Sweet Love

 

 

 

Yesterday we celebrated Kaleb's 29th Birthday, with our families. Fish and Chips for dinner by the Lilyponds. Followed with a Chocolate Cheesecake, Donna Hay's recipe. So delicious!

Father's Day

Fathers young, fathers old
Remembering good times are our gold.

Value earned through guidance given
Helping us go forth in living'.

Each father adding to our trove
A treasure chest of love untold.

Remembering father in our lives
Taking time to realize.

Fatherly love brings wealth to living
Remembering this we go forth in giving.

Fathers young, fathers old
We remember you all
As life unfolds.
Ragini

Yarn Along

Wow! I don't think I've put down the hook all week!! As the air cools here, I definitely start to feel motivated to get some hooky work happening. I finished some Cutie Patootie Pants (Little Crochet by Linda Permann) that I started ages ago for Leo, pity he won't fit into these now!! Will have to keep them for the next babe...

I am also making good progress on the TV Cosy squares, but I did forget how time intensive it is to sew all those squares together! So I'll keep plugging along at that one!

 

I also received my first order from the Bendigo Woollen Mills! Some Rustic 8ply 100% Wool in Green Tweed. This has already been started for some more Cutie Patootie Pants (long ones) for Leo in a bigger size and another pair in newborn size, for a friend , whose 3rd baby ( 3rd boy! ) will be joining their family in our Aussie winter. These 2 pairs of pants will also be my first attempt at lanolising. So if anyone has any great tips or sites for me to check out, I would really appreciate it!

I started 2 new books this week and while I realise this is highly ambitious of me, I'm definitely trying to put some time aside each evening before bed to read just one chapter.

 

Bookshop on Jacaranda Street by Marlish Glorie (fiction)

and

Hold Onto Your Kids (Why parents need to matter more than peers) by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate (non-fiction)

I have been wanting to read this for ages and a friend kindly lent it to me!

Joining in with Ginny!!
You can also find me on Ravelry!!

Also:

Today was my Husbands 28th Birthday!!

We spent the afternoon eating cake (chocolate with whipped cream and crumbled Flake on top) and playing with the kids....

Meet: The Fam

Cooking up a storm!

I love my family. Kaleb is a Kiwi from the South Island and he moved to Australia in 2006. He likes long walks on the beach and watching his wife crochet.... Ha, not! He likes Sci-Fi, Fantasy books (he is never without a book) and has an unhealthy relationship with the X-box (yep, I'm a gamer widow).

Our 2 boys are:

Drinking straight from the source...

Roman (Romey or Romey-G or Romey-G my Homie-G), He is almost 4! and is a bundle of energy and definitely likes long walks along the beach!

Leonardo (Leo or little LP or little LPP), will be 1 in April. Leo is a cute and cuddle sumo baby (he's, like, twice the size of other babes his age) and likes to party at all hours of the night!!

So, That is currently what our family looks like, but who knows what the future holds!
