My kitchen junk drawer...in there you can find...light bulbs, batteries, spare bike tyres, filter jug filters, sticky tape & loads of stuff I haven't looked at in months.
My favourite jewelry....I am not one for much bling, so my wedding ring comes up tops.
Otherwise I am a plastic bead girl....the more the merrier.
My favourite part of me....hmmm! hard one...my eyes I suppose. I am really grateful that at 39 I have very few lines...yikes! this pic is really the naked truth.
And lastly my kerb appeal....my house. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my home...it started as a horrible 80's face brick house that had little or no character & over the last 5 years T & I have renovated & tweaked it to exactly what we wanted. We love living here.
Well I hope you enjoyed the virtual tour...I'm off to go and look at everyone else's.
Have a super day!x

This bunch of yellow flowers was a 'gift' from Maxi. He pulled them off some bush in a neighbours front yard, whilst walking outside in the street. I love the sincerity in his eyes as he reaches up to me & says...' I have something special for you Mama, because I love you SOOOO much!'...tweaks the heart strings believe me & distracts me enough from reprimanding him for stomping in someone else's flower beds.
This was taken at 8AM this morning...Max dressed himself....his PJ's with his Aloha T-shirt over the top & sweats....Joscie, yes he is reading the beautiful book you sent us about Hawaii....he loves it!! He is so crazy about anything to do with Hawaii...thanks to Lilo & Stitch & you guys!
To make sure I got my daily dosage of adrenalin...'both' our hot water geysers over our bedroom decided to burst today. By the grace of God I heard something strange & went to investigate only to find hot water running down the walls in my bedroom & out of the light fittings. I YELLED! for Tersh, who improvised while we waited for the electrician & plumber. We have to have both majorly overhauled but better that than having the roof cave in through water damage. God is indeed very good!
We had supper of rice Paella on the floor in front of the fire place this evening...I love watching how much my boys love eachother....makes this Mama's heart very happy.
I even baked this afternoon....no, don't be fooled I wasn't being the epitome of domesticity. Max was driving me NUTS & I had run out of activities to do with him. He is a gr8 helper in the kitchen when I bake...& he has been nagging me for days for cinnamon muffins. So cinnamon muffins & a choc-chip vanilla loaf it was. Bad for the waistline...excellent for the state of mind. I'll diet in heaven.
I caught the kiddlets reading a whole pile of my scrapbooking albums....they were chatting together about each page...remembering the day in the photographs & laughing about it. It is these moments that make all the hard work of scrapping worth while.
Max has this uncany ability to build enormous towers out of whatever is lying around. This one he built without much care until it was half a head taller than him.....clever tick!
Anyway, I must go and fetch Max from play school. Sarah has hurt her back & won't be in for a couple of days.....YIKES!!! It also doesn't help me having picked up laryngitis & a yuk! cough from somewhere. Hahahahaha! I am such a spoiled ninny sometimes.
XXXXX
Yum!! lemon/meringue pie....Tersh's fav! Not my thing I am thankful to say!
Treats for the kiddlets.....candy floss for Cas & a cookie man for Max.
On Sunday....we ventured up the mountain to Tokai forest for a family picnic. It was idyllic! There was not a breath of wind, the temp's were perfect & the kids were on their best behaviour. They played, I took photo's & we walked & walked. The fresh air really clears the mind. It was a great way to prepare for a hectic week for Tersh.
Well now that you are all saturated with photographs of the Watson's, I hope you are enjoying your week.
Max...creative...funny & oh so cute!!!
Meters of extension cables & plug adapters.
Priority at it's best...coffee & wireless internet get plugged in first LOL!
We had a kitten in the house this morning....Max discovered his mittens while I was sorting out his winter clothes this AM. Do you remember that rhyme...3 little kittens had lost their mittens....? He loves that story!
My child really squeezed my heart today, by presenting me with a yellow daisy he had found on a walk to the park. He turned to me & said: "Mama, this flower is for you because you are a very special person :o) & I love you very much!"...no jokes, I almost crushed his ribcage with my hug of appreciation. I am truly blessed to have landed a super cute kid like him to love. His love language is so mature, it often leaves me staring with my jaw open.
Well guys that's the long & short of my day...I hope yours was everything as great!
Wall art on the front of our house.
Choc stash!!! (all done and dusted by 6.30am)
Cas trying her hand at baseball........not her forte tho'....after strike 7, opted to swim rather. 
Pizza night with Jo & her family. Erin & Cas got a little carried away with the flour LOL!
All in all a very relaxing Easter weekend.
