THIS SON OF MINE IS AN UTTER IDIOT!

ABOVE:  I wanted to get some 'nice' photos of Steve, Bex and Dante last night.  I was playing around with various settings on my camera, as I have one hell of a job getting good night shots.  And that is the 'face' he gave me!

He's a right dick.

ABOVE:  I did finally get some nice ones...

 ABOVE:  these two just dote on their baby...

 ABOVE:  and how could you not just love this wee man?  He's gorgeous... even when he throws up all down my front!  Yeah, and the little darling does that all the time.

ABOVE:  I love seeing them both so happy...

ABOVE:  But I do wonder sometimes why she hasn't throttled him yet!

ABOVE: wee Dante, all tucked up in bed.  So, so cute. 

TODAY?  Well my Toyota Highlander has been recalled again, this time it's a potential problem with the Power Window Master Switch.  Soooo.... the guys are taking it down to Takanini, where it has to stay for about an hour.  In that time they will pick up Lacy and Miss Muppet, who are coming over for lunch.  

Steve has today off as he is working consecutive Saturdays for about a month.

Our lovely Midwife Debs is coming for her last visit with Bex and Dante after lunch.  Lacy wants to see her too, and show Debs how Keera is doing.  We have a little 'Thank You' gift for her... some lovely toiletries from The Body Shop.  They do gorgeous gift baskets there.

So... a semi-busy day... but all good.  I have almost forgotten what a 'quiet' day feels like.

ONWARD... 

WOW!  50+ comments yesterday ! ! ! Thank you so much!

Tomorrow I am dedicating to getting around ALL the blogs I read, it's been WEEKS since I have been able to just sit and read what everyone has been up to.
So... tomorrow is it.

Today is a gorgeous day, no rain or wind to speak of.  Stew is about to take me car to the Dealers.  Then Lacy and Keera will be here.

I am very used to members of my family saying "Mum, get a photo of this and put it on the blog!".
Today I think I had a first, I got a text message from a friend down in Wellington:

 ABOVE:  this made me laugh out loud!  So of course... I complied.

ABOVE: Karen, you can see the size in this photo... and...

ABOVE: close up.  I used lots of different batik fabrics that I got in Morrinsville from Wright's Fabrics.  And some batik fabric that I scored on an Aussy site like our Trademe.

It is supposed to appear like a 'leadlight' window.  I love it!

Well my car has had it's check up and is all better again.  Waiting for Debs to arrive now, then Stew and I will take Lacy and Keera home and go to Warehouse Stationery to price a computer desk... as my blue computer desk down in the garage was ruined by water.

I think it's amazing that the only house 'content' damaged was one desk!  

FUCK FUCKITY FUCK!

ABOVE:  We STILL have nits.   I'm so pissed off right now I could scream.  Time to check Griffin...

ANON:  yes, Bex's mattress was wet as, but the resoration company did their magic and it would appear to be saved.  Neat eh?

We just went and priced a new computer desk, the same size and type to the one we have lost... and it's only $214.  The insurance company is going to like us!

Dante got weighed today.  He is now 10 pound 7 ounces.  ALMOST as big as his Daddy at birth.  Steve was 10 pound 12 ounces at birth.  Dante should be that by next week... when he's 5 weeks old.  I look at him and can't believe I gave birth to a baby bigger than what he is right now!

End of Day: well a 'quiet' day finally!
Thinking of going out to the movies with the kids tomorrow... got to try and get an outing or two in before Stew has to go back to work next Monday!  Bugger... we seem to have done bugger all these holidays.
nite nite.
