ANZAC Day 2009

Saturday was ANZAC day, we didn't attend a dawn service as Evan is a little young for that and would not understand what is going on but that is something I would like to do in the near future! After reflecting what it means to us that morning we went out to Burleigh beach and the park again. We like going there as it is such a lovely beach and walk and Evan really loves the park there too!

Ollie and Evan enjoying themselves on the slide as usual....Evan can never get enough of the slide at the moment hehe



Evan being the big boy that he is climbing up the ladder.


My boys running off without me as they can't wait to get onto the beach.


Evan picking up lots of pebbles to throw into the sea with his big brother keeping a watchful eye.



Evan caught in action throwing a pebble.......I love this picture.




Ollie trying not to smile but it didn't quite work lol





Once we got home from the beach Evan put the film WALL.E on and this was him relaxing and watching the movie.


Ollie got his nose stuck into a book as usual.....I think this is the 3rd time round for reading the Harry Potter series!


So whilst my boys were happy with what they were doing, I decided that I would make an apple crumble and everyone was certainly happy with that decision yummmmmmmmmm

Wordless 'Saturday'......


It's moved for this week!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Wordless Wednesday this week has been moved to Saturday!!!! I have decided to do this for ANZAC Day as a sign of respect and in memory to all those that have and still are serving in the forces. Lest we forget!

More chocolate please!

Well it's Easter Saturday and my oldest decides that he would like to bake a cake, a chocolate chip one to be exact and well how can I say no to a boy that wants to cook! A bit more chocolate over Easter isn't going to hurt, we will just have to go out for an extra long walk at the beach tomorrow. So the finished product ends up looking rather delicious I must say!


My youngest has other ideas though and insists on adding birthday candles.....well isn't that what cakes are made for hehe

Then we have to sing 'happy birthday' and the candles have to get blown out....awwww bless him!

Hey sexy....but then again!!!!



I always knew it was true but now it's offical.....beauty is in the eye of the beholder but beware if you have been on the beer!!!!!

Yes folks it's true, there is such thing as beer goggles! We have all been in that situation where we have been out on the drink and found someone very attractive but after seeing them in the cold light of day we realise that oops we have made a huge mistake and that they are not the prince charming we remember previously hehe According to a study carried out by scientists at the University of Bristol, UK beer goggles are real...... In the study, researchers enlisted uni students, got half of them tipsy and asked all to rate the attractiveness of people in photos. The faces were considered more attractive by the drunk participants than sober ones; drunk students also rated people from their own gender as hotter when blinded by beer goggles!!!!

Now I just want to know why I never get asked to participate in this kind of survey???????
