OMG, I do not feel ready for Christmas... someone turn the clock back a week or more eh?TODAY?  Well... with any luck we got a sleep in of sorts!  Not a lot of that happening with a little Phantom in the house... he gets HUNGRY and starts to cry if he can hear anyone up first thing in the morning!  Only a week left before we take him to meet his family from Palmerston North.  I am looking forward to that... just cos it means Stew and I will have a whole day to ourselves.  No kids.  BLISS!  *smiles*Because I actually have bugger all to blither...

I LOVE WINNING...

I have been wanting a chair for my computer area in the lounge.  I've had me eye on an old leather computer chair on Trademe for 3 weeks... it failed to sell during it's first two weeks and was relisted, so I went over to the North Shore to see it, with a view to bidding on it last night,  just before the auction closed.And...

TWO PEAS IN A POD

Miss Keera was having a bad hair day yesterday (like EVERY DAY!)... so I had a go at putting the middle section up...  ABOVE:  Keera and her big brother Griffin.  ABOVE:  in this one she almost smiled... she has the most heart stopping smile. Notice how her hair is getting lighter?  Lacy was born with pitch black hair, but by the time she was 1 yr old it morphed into a dark blonde.  I think Keera's hair is doing the same thing.ABOVE:  Silly Bex @ about 5 and a half months along.ABOVE:  Now @ almost 8 months.  Thank goodness she finishes...
