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???????

The soccer season has started!!!!

Well thats it, the soccer season for 2009 has well and truely started WOOHOO!!! Yep I'm a proud soccer mum and I'm sure thats also due to the fact that I'm a 'pommie'..... I have to say that I'm still a little confused, as I still have that urge sometimes to call it football but if and when I do, I usually get a few people look at me funny and think that I'm talking AFL or NRL dohhhhh


Anyway, my son Oliver had his first match playing for Broadbeach last Saturday against some old rivals Robina!


On the Robina team were some friends of Ollie's and one of them being the son of one of my best friends Paula (JK) and another was Ollie's close school mate but he still performed for his team as goalkeeper so well and I was just so proud of him. Even when it came to a one on one between JK and himself, Ollie put that friendship aside and played for his team causing a bash on the head for JK as Ollie dived for the ball..... It was such a close game and was 0-0 most of the way and then the last 20 minutes the outcome changed and eventually Broadbeach lost the game going down 3-0 to Robina but they held them off so well and the 2nd match against them later in the season will be an interesting one I think!

I'm back....I think....

Oh dear what a naughty blogger I've been the last few weeks, as it's been a while since I wrote anything, so come on then dish out the pushisment but hmmmmm I may just enjoy that!!! Not only have I just been busy being a single mum and running around after everyone but I've also discovered that I have a medical issue! I won't go into any detail, so don't worry, but I do need to have an operation though and being that I don't have private health care, I have to rely on the public system and that could take some time.....it doesn't matter what part of the world you are in, the public health care is always shocking and so I'm just playing a waiting game. It's left me a bit upside down but I'm a sassy pommie chic and I'm bouncing back again, it takes alot to get the best of me....just ask my ex husband hehe Anyway, I will be trying my best to keep on top of my blog again, as I hate to let all my followers down....ok ok I may be exaggerating a little there!
