A FIRST FOR ME... AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEX

FIRST for the day:  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bex!  25 today.  I hope you have a lovely day.

Last night I decided to try making a Drawstring Bag to put my 'Happy Jar' in.
So I went on the net and found a pattern... and this is what I got:

ABOVE:  it took me just over an hour to make... I would have been faster if I was confident with the pattern ... but it was the first time I'd made a bag like this.  They are incredibly easy to make!!

I love it, and will be making more... I just have to think of reason why I need to make more! 

I think Steve was trying to convince Bex he needed her to make him one! 

I was sitting on the floor talking to Dante... when I glanced up and saw this: 

ABOVE:  what was Coco doing lying there like that?

ABOVE:  The silly tart was ASLEEP!!!  Well ... she IS a Blonde I suppose.

I mentioned Dante earlier eh?  Well I got some more amazing photos of him talking to La La :

ABOVE:  he really does LOVE La La!

ABOVE:  Isn't he just amazingly adorable!  This little man makes getting out of bed in the morning a pure joy.
It is going to break my heart when his parents move out.  But at least they won't be going too far ... when they do move.  

AND,  I've been promised that Stew and I can have him for weekends on a regular basis, what more could I ask?  There are no firm plans YET on when they will move out... as quite a few things have to happen first.
Yaaaa.

Right... time to get the lunches made...

ONWARD...

The Plunket Nurse just came to check how Dante is doing.
He has gone from being 'average' on the baby growth charts to almost at the top!  He is now a very long, chubby bubba just like his Dad was.  
Bex is thrilled knowing she is providing enough milk for him to do so well.

Keera:  Isn't doing well at all today.  We are taking her back to the Doctor's this afternoon.  She is now vomiting and listless.  
In fact, I will pop over there shortly and check up on her.

First up, Keera is doing a bit better now... she's taken a bottle and held it down.  She didn't look dehydrated when I called in before lunch, so we have cancelled the Doctors Appointment.   I'm sure she has turned the corner and is going to improve heaps by the end of today.

Bex, Dante and I went to the local mall, I had a parcel to post (on it's way Lucinda), then I bought a couple of music CD's to listen to down in the garage, and a Birthday Cake.  Must have cake for the Birthday girl.

Then we had lunch (I had sushi) and came home.

It is another sweltering day outside.  Best to keep indoors and just chill for a while.

ABOVE: the 2 CD's I got.  I just LOVE Mumford & Sons, and the compilation discs have some nice songs on too. 
Bex got a couple too... Taylor Swift and Rihanna.  I'm sure I will get to listen to them too,  down in the sewing 'room'.  *smiles*

End of Day:  dinner tonight?  Pizza and birthday cake.  So, that's me one meal off a week done and dusted. I will post photos tomorrow.
nite nite.
