Randomness From Me


Hey. Happy Easter. And Happy Anzac Day.
I just had to show you these cute photos Mr G took on his phone. It's not even an iPhone. Aren't they cool?

This top one was meant to be a silly-faces one of Dash with Daddy. But Dash sneezed right when the shutter clicked. Maybe that's funnier?


Whatever, I think it's cute. I love the way this one captures Scrag's blue eyes and sweet-cheeked smile.


And this one of Miss Fab, reclining on the window seat. Daddy's not bad with the BlackBerry.
And look below. Quintessential Scrag-on-Bike.

This is the Balance Bike that took daddy until 2.30am on the night before Scrag's birthday to put together. The one Scrag looked and then... ignored.
Poor Daddy. Happily Scrag now loves it. Sometimes these things take time, aye?


A friend said to me yesterday, "There's something about your kids. They're not the cutest or the prettiest or the best dressed (!) but there's just something about them."

Um. Yeah. I think they're special too. (But being their mother I think they're also the cutest and the prettiest. The not being the best dressed I'll grant you, but only because they refuse to listen to my advice and insist on wearing their favourite clothes, while the "best" clothes languish ignored in the closet.)


It's raining here. Warm and wet. A grey Easter Monday/Anzac Day.
Dash said, what, it's ANZAC DAY? Mum you should make some Anzac Biscuits!
Yeah, I would son, but we are all out of butter and sugar after our baking frenzy last week.
And being Anzac Day following on the heels of Easter... the cupboards are bare.

So I will revive memories of Anzac Days past, by sharing with you this Recipe for the cookies.
If you don't know what Anzac Day is, you can read this post I wrote last year. It's rather a good one.

I been working hard behind the blog-scenes. And I'm cooking up another bloggy how-to post, which will come to you before the month is out. You'll love it.


In the meantime can I ask you to check out my new rearranged/upgraded Tabs at the top of the page? You know how it is when you've been working hard on something but nobody notices? I hate that. So I thought I'd be blatant and ask you to check it out. And then tell me you love it share your thoughts with me on how its all looking.
 
There's the redesigned Our Family page.
Which resides next to my simplified Best Posts page.
Next to which you'll find my How To's Page. It's pretty now.
Followed by the new Parenting Fun page. Loaded with ideas that are fun and honest tales.
Skip over the untouched Depression & Me Page (it's fine as it is).
Find yourself on the Life in New Zealand Page. Aint it nice now?
 
All I need to do now is revamp my About Me page and my job will be complete.
 
So. What do you think?
 
{PS Do you use tabs to organise your posts?}
