a wintery weekend

the weather was a bit grey and rainy over the weekend with the sun popping out for a few seconds. we found colour in our days with decorating parts of arti's side of the room. i cooked comfort food all day saturday and a banana cake which managed to resemble rubber, if you were to drop it i am sure it would bounce! the kids are eating it and even asking for seconds...funny that!!

we had a friend come visit on sunday and we ate again more delicious food. 

a comforting 2 days with grey skies.

i hope you had a lovely weekend wherever you are in the world.

Its thursday already!

Wow! where has the week gone to...    

The little man has had a cold since sunday but thankfully he has a happy disposition and i'm still smiling too with sleepless nights, but really.... i don't know for how much longer!!!. 

So our days have been quiet here at home, catching up on the washing piles and making the most of these sunny but chilly days. Keeping the fire going and listening to my favorite cd Milenka by the very talented Gini. 

If you havn't got yourself a copy then i highly recommend you do.

Our weekend was relaxing. 

There was time to read the paper (cause the kids had a sleep over at their grannies), check on the vegies (sugar snap peas in flower), count oki's berries she collected and find a bargain teapot/vase for 20 cents at a garage sale. 

How was your weekend???

Made by Beattie.... great clothes too!!! 

Today i had some tea and later on some pumpkin soup with a very pregnant sweet friend who's looking beautiful and should not be so 'round' next week.yiiipppee!!! Seeing her today made me remember being that pregnant not so long ago and sort of sad as i know that 3 is it for us. I wish her well with her 1st baby.
