BLOW ME DOWN!

You buggers out-did yourselves yesterday with all the Birthday comments!

What a turn out! THANK YOU!

I got a really happy feeling with every single one as they came in.... I must be liked eh?

OH and by the way: 5 of my kids remembered, thanks AMANDA, LACY, KELLY, STEVE AND MIKE... I love you. AND my Mum did too!

TODAY: I'm gunna start my day with a long soak in the bath with me lavender bath stuff .... it's supposed to calm me .... YEAH RIGHT!

After that I might just do some housework (don't envy me now!).. followed by some sewing? Not sure what to do next... I got the button for Bag #4:

And some little 'magnetic' things to hold the flap down, so I don't need to make a buttonhole. It will be easier to use than a buttonhole me thinks. I think that button is the shizzzz.

I want to start something else now... another bag shape or something! What about a round bag? Hmmmmm..... that could be a challenge....

ONWARD....WEll.. seems I am babysitting today! My cousin's little boy.. who is almost two... and quite adorable. They are moving house and just need him entertained and looked after for the day. I don't mind... how much fun can we get up to? First off we are going grocery shopping..... oooo shopping!

I haven't lost the touch! Nico screamed when he was put in my car... but like... 30 seconds after we left he was FINE. And what a helpful wee man with the shopping!

He totally LOVED shopping.. and 'helping' me put the groceries in the trolley! OK... some he quite liked and wanted to keep... but he was ADORABLE! It is just so LOVELY to have a wee one around the house.

What a shame he has to have a nap after lunch... *sniff*.

ABOVE: I don't want to give him back! He is just so bloody cute! Here he is getting into the kitchen cupboards.. and rearranging where I hang things... such a helpful wee bubba.

I got a phone call too! From Sparklingmerlot in Australia... again! She wanted to wish me a personal Happy Birthday, and to let me know that her GIVEAWAY parcel arrived safely... thanks for the chat girl... it was lovely. {{{HUGS}}}

FROGGY: too right I want more grandbabies! I would love Amanda to have another soon, so I can go nuts over him/her and have him/her on the weekends... bliss! I know she will let me have her baby for little 'holidays' with Grandma and Granddad..... Maybe Lacy and Tim will be lucky enough to have a baby or two as well! Now that would be awesome.

And let's not forget Steve and Mike have yet to even START giving me grandbabies yet! OOOO... can't wait for more.

Stew and I are going out to dinner this evening, it's a Farewell for one of his staff members... and we are very lucky to have Andrew, our Son in Law .. coming up from Hamilton to babysit for us. How darn nice is that then? I am really looking forward to the evening.. Stew works with some really lovely people, and we get on so well with them. ONWARD...

End of Day: and we had a really lovely dinner.... it was a chinese dinner, so it was very healthy to say the least!

We got stopped by the police on our way home... compulsory breath testing.. Stew rolled his window down and the policeman said "Bugger me! It's Stew isn't it?" "Hell man you don't drink, I ain't testing you!".... too funny, it was the son of a man Stew used to know very well in Whitianga years ago! And Stew hadn't been drinking either, so we didn't feel bad! Funny who you can run into for sure.

On that happy note.. nite nite.
