Sick day

​Ana has tonsillitis and wasn’t well enough to go to daycare. 

Yesterday she stayed home with mummy. Went to the doctors and got antibiotics 

Today she came to grandmas house 

Grandma had some new crafts to try 

Ana sewed with help from grandma 

Then she got to decorate 

The cupcake icing,and bows were included in the pack 

It also came with four little gems to decorate 

Well obviously that wasn’t enough, 

So the sticker tub came out 

She has filled with bling. Inside and out 

Ana has decided this will be her makeup bag 

I also finally got a big Jenga 

We laughed so much every time we had to pull a brick out. 

The dice was rolled to tell us what colours to take out. 

We had a run of red. Five times in a row. Ana thought this was hilarious as she yelled out “red again!”

She asked me to fix this high chair as the baby was falling out 

The top had those plastic studs but were to close together and it wouldn’t reach around the bar. 

Grandma fixed that. 

Also I tied ribbons to the two bottom corners and tied them to the frame 

I placed the doll in oh so happy as I called out to Ana it’s finished 

She yells back. I don’t want it now 

Grandma mumbled under her breath a few choice words.

Had made a traditional Greek meal, consisting mainly of peas, I got a little sentimental so I made some too. 

I put mine into the slow cooker 

I made some focaccia to go with it 

Hubby said it was perfect and delicious 

Got to be happy with that 

Ana had a sleep cuddle me. She needed it  when she woke up  grandpa was here 

She covered both her face and grandpas face with pretty stickers 

I think this one is a 21st birthday pic 

Now they have gone home. I’ve kinda packed things away. 

Dinner was eaten and the kitchen is clean. 

Now I rest so I can do it all again tomorrow.  

This time with Georgia here too 

Wordless Wednesday

Comedy caper’s

​yesterday afternoon. A lovely young neighbour knocked on my front door. 

He told me that the steer had his leg stuck in the fence. 

He tried to help but the steer got his leg out in his own. Unfortunately it was on the wrong side of the fence. 

Hubby was working in the shed so the young man drove over to let him know. 

Hubby arrived with his 4WD buggy, a lead rope and some hay 

Thankfully it was a smooth process and no incident. 

Apparently, the young man said, it looked like Dobby was trying to help him get his leg out. He was grabbing it with his mouth and tried pulling it out 

They have only been together for a few days, but already they’re firm friends 

Dobby got some carrots for being a very good boy. 

I always say. There’s too much love at our place. 

Not that you can ever have too much. 

If only humans were as loving 

Weekend

​yesterday Ana and Georgia arrived right at seven am

Grandma was ready. It was another hot and humid day, so indoor activities were all the go 

Ana working very hard on something. 

I did a big shop of craft supplies now that the year has really started 

I’m trying to get rid of plastic bags, because of Georgia  I don’t buy them but when you order from Timu lots of things come in plastic bags  ones that have a zip type opening  so you can seal the bags many times 

I’ve collected many of these bags  

They’re just too good to throw out 

I’ve purchased these mesh bags to keep things in 

So while Ana was busy crafting I started to organise, as best as I could, all the supplies 

We now have three plastic tubs of crafts. One is very large, where all those bags are in 

One smaller tub has all the paper and one has the stickers 

We have a lot of stickers 

This cutie was laying there watching us. 

She’s very good and will stay there a goodly amount of time. But eventually she wants to sit up and see the world 

That’s when I either have her sit with me or in her little baby seat 

Ana is a great big sister. If I need to leave the room for any reason I asked her to watch Georgia for me. She will sit right next to her and look after her little sister 

I’m never gone long. Usually in the kitchen to organise milk bottles or food 

While I’m getting Georgia to sleep these two sit together. 

Trixie loves all the girls. 

Eventually it came time for daddy to pick up Ana and take her to swimming lessons, while Georgia stays here until mummy comes to pick her up 

We are slowly getting into a routine 

And I’m getting fitter and more able to Rock Georgia to sleep without having sore arms and shoulders 

Who knows, I might even get some serious muscles. 

Today I was off to get my meds 

I’ve washed two loads of washing. 

Folded another two loads 

Baby girl and family dropped in as son in law had to pick up his care. 

A quick visit and they off. 

It’s a hot sunny day today. So all blinds are down to keep the heat out and I’ve just put the aircon on. 

I’m now sitting and working on my EPP 

while watching British crime dramas. 

Good job I’m not a police person. I never work out who did it. 

Wordless Wednesday

​

Cracking on

​today has been a productive day 

I’ve been online and through

Door dash

I’ve done an Aldi shop

And a woolies shop. 

One load of washing was brought in. 

I’ve got it here to fold and put away, but Trixie has decided it makes an excellent bed 

Two loads of washing done and hung out to dry. 

Cooking two, tiropita  

Three cheese pies 

And sticky chicken wings. 

I have never tried cooking them like this. 

Hubby cooks them on the BBQ during the summer. During the winter I cook them in the oven 

Unfortunately, as you know, the oven is busy. That’s why the big idea for f using the electric pan. 

And I’m still working on this. 

Since the break, while crocheting, my calluses have softened. 

I’m busy building them up again 

I wonder what I’ll do tomorrow 

Weekend report

​

The weather this weekend has been very different to what we have been experiencing for weeks now. 

We got a few drops of rain, we had a few shower but mainly it’s been very humid 

These are my windows right now 

I do not do humid at all. Which means I’ve been inside almost all weekend. I went out to feed the animals, hang washing, although I don’t know why I bothered. They’re not dry and smell musty. I’m going to rewash that load and then hang them in here. 

The ugly blanket is finished. I’m glad I made it bigger. It’s a perfect size for three little girls to snuggle under. 

For now I’m back onto the EPP. 

I finished getting all the hexies ready and have begun sewing them onto the blanket. 

That’s pretty much the extent of my endeavours 

Hubby mowed the lawns 

And continued filling the metal crates with fire wood. 

Our motto these days is definitely 

Slow and steady.
