HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY DANTE, & LAST MONDAY OF SCHOOL FOR THE KIDS

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY DANTE! Hard to believe a whole year has gone already.  

The kids finish school TOMORROW!  So, while I know 6-7 weeks holiday would normally fill me with dread, I'm not that fussed any more.

Brylee and Griffin are great at sleeping in!  I have been living for the day they don't wake me up bright and early in the morning like littlies do.
Yaaaa.

Now, I took a heap of photos yesterday, so let's share:

ABOVE:  I started adding stuff to my felted leaf.  I had never done those knots before... or daisy's.  This is purely a learning curve!

ABOVE:  Puppy blankets for Puppy A and Puppy E.  I love making them for our puppies to take home.

 ABOVE:  Both pups just lay there perfectly still for AGES... then one moved her head a fraction and they both jumped up and shot off in different directions!  Silly little things.  But oh so entertaining!

ABOVE:  Ruby was stalking.......... an ant!  AND she caught it and ate it in one lick.  So cute.

ABOVE:  Little Puppy E. (Jet).  He's such a little love, by my word he's developed some back bone in the last couple of weeks!  He sure stands up for himself now.  LOUDLY.

 ABOVE:  My Diet Coke bottle had condensation on the outside... and all the pups kept licking it until it fell over, then they got a little taste of my Diet Coke cos it spilt out the top.  (the lid is buggered).  They liked it, I mean to say, what is there NOT to like about Diet coke???

ABOVE: My garden ain't gunna be the same in this corner!  They have all but flattened one of the succulent plants.

Right, last but not least, a little video of BUBBLES:


I thought it was ingenious of Steve to think of it.  Keera squealed with delight to begin with.

OK, that's me for now... catch ya later.

ONWARD...

WOW, I didn't realise I'd not been on here all day!
It's been a busy day, I've been doing housework, minding puppies, doing washing, starting another round of mug rugs, going out to get Birthday Cake etc for tonight's little 'Party' at home for Dante and a few other things thrown in for luck.

When I got home from the supermarket I read the latest school Bulletin which comes here via email.

LOOK AT THIS:

ABOVE:  I am a very proud Mum, and I'm sure Stew will be thrilled to bits with Griffin too.

Just because I can... here's a few more photos for the day:

 ABOVE:  Now the puppies have teeth, Dante isn't that keen on them.  Funny that.

ABOVE: Flash new sneakers from  his Uncle and Aunty in Invercargill.  It took Bex a while to get them on his chubby feet, but it can be done!
lol

DOGSTARS:  Now why can't you do the stitchery like me?  I've got a little book that shows me how to do it... you should go find one too.

DEBBIE: I have always made puppy blankets for them to take home, it's just something I like to do.

End of Day:  well we had a lovely family dinner/party for wee Dante.  His nibs loved his cake, but has no idea about blowing out candles yet.
Tired, it's been a very hot, humid day again.
