DANTE ...

Our youngest grandson is growing!  It is almost 3 weeks since he was born!  Wow, those weeks have gone so fast....

 ABOVE:  Stew and Dante...

ABOVE:  me and Dante.

Today I'm going to relax and spend some time with the kids.... hopefully it's a nice day and we can get out the waterslide for them?
It's one that you lie on the ground and run and slide on... it's still in it's box!

Also today, I think the girls and I will have a go at making Cake Pops!  I have everything we need, just have not found the right time to give it a go yet... maybe today will be the day!
I am dreaming of making lots of the little cakes and seeing if I can 'construct' a larger cake with them?

Who knows... worth a try anyway.

Joyce has a nickname finally... Sookie La La!  She can't stand baby poop, baby dribbles, spiders... and no doubt a whole list of other things!
I have given Lacy, Bex and Kelly 'nicknames' too... but they are a bit harder to explain... so I won't 'go' there!  *smiles*

It's going to be a nice day, I just know it... 

ONWARD...

It's a stunning day... perfect for getting all the washing done... and for the kids to have some fun.

So... our 'stunning' day has gone to shit.  Cold wind, showers... bla bla bla.
An inside day today... I want to go down to the mall shortly and copy my camera cards to disc... running out of room to take more photos!  DISASTROUS!

FINALLY got all the camera card data copied to discs... now I can relax and take a million more photos!
*smiles*
Feeling tired today, just worn out I think.
We are opting for a 'left overs, or baked beans on toast' dinner tonight!
In the past month we have only had two takeaway dinners I think... so time for a break.

Is anyone else finding it impossible to upload photos today?

Well, I got some photos to upload, but I had to add them to Picasa first... what a pain in the butt... but at least that way I could then upload them to here:

ABOVE:  While we girls were busy MAKING the cake pops, Stew snuck in and nicked some chocolate bits...

 ABOVE: Yes you shit, you better move fast!

ABOVE: Joyce and Bex making the cake pops...


ABOVE: giving them a 'taste test'.... and it's a messy job...

ABOVE:  See?  It's a learning process on how much mixture you need to put in the moulds...

 ABOVE: lots and lots of little cakes!

ABOVE:  Joyce making some icing...

ABOVE: slight 'detour'... had to check our wee man... he's such a little love.

ABOVE:  This lot have been playing on the XBox while we baked.

 ABOVE: Joyce getting creative with icing and sprinkles... see the little cake pops on their sticks?  Too cute.

ABOVE:  yeah, then they tried a tiered cake thingee. 

ABOVE:  I think they got tired of doing each little cake individually!  Here's another tiered cake thingee!
 
Woooo... we are playing 'Foo' (card game) tonight... Stew is going to 'babysit' Dante so Bex can play.  I love playing card games!
 
End of Day:  playing cards, had a couple of Bacardi & cokes... happy!
nite nite

  12. Isn't it wonderful to become exhausted with lovely things, like grandchildren and their parents rather than mundane boring jobs that exhaust you like laundry and housework. Family and friends forever
