Wet Walkies


We went walkies in the rain today...well it stopped raining by the time we reached the end of the road..so not really...the path is cut in both directions along the river so you have to walk up on the grass....makes for very wet shoes....A says it has gone down since he took Jester a few nights ago...but it is still up heaps!! Check out Jester's feet in the photo...they got alot dirtier than that but the time we got back! We also saw a huge dead barra in the water and a snake!! (which was not dead!!)

A few more wet days inside with the kids and they are so ready for a play....so toady they had one even though the ground isn't really dry enough...

The cat pee in my bag this morning on the way to work.....GRRRRRR so I had to swap bags which caused me to leave my keys at home in my work bag....GRRRR...not a good start to the day.....

Nothing much new to report....I have got out my cross stitching again...determined to finish the underwater reef very soon...not sure I want to put a dead line on it because it has taken me so long already..Still one fish to go in the top left hand corner and so more of the half stitches for the background....and then all the back stitch to add the details...so still lots to go....it is a lot easier to get out and pack up than the quilting so I think I will stick with it for a while....that said...I'm itching to start my 'stack and slash'quilt....:)

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
