I didnt plan to be a witch

THIS is the best book i have read in ages.probabaly coz I... well ...um ....kinda need the info contained therein....badly!!!
You can probably guess why the cover caught my eye.Boy number 5 at this place and things are going crazy with my emotions and hormones after the birth soooo the title kinda caught my eye.
but its so full of wisdom and stories to make you feel totally normal.I have had so many ideas since reading it to help with this clan and it has just been comforting to know of other Mums who have had similar feelings and situations to cause them to don a black pointy hat and jump on a broom and start flying round the house making everyone else miserable as well...even if it is ALL THIER FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE...ok ok breath Bronnie!!!
so!! highly recommended :)
check it out..chapters such as
Preschoolers are horrible and adorable
Children fail and so do mothers
Teenagers are like werewolves
There is a speed in going slow
Praise is a secret weapon
and many more
loved it :)

The Nest

We wanted one of these groovy highchairs for Josh.Tone was developing them in China for a client and these are some of the samples .

When he was unpacking it i said"uuuum!!!its pink!!!"

so then the chorus of boys pipe up with comments such as "Mum dont you know everyone is into pink now " and "i have heaps of friends whose favourite colour is pink" and the all time classic....

"Us boys have been discriminated against for too long and now we want pink!!!"

so poor lil Josh gets put in his new pink highchair at first he screwed up his nose and then as you can see in the photo decided it wasnt that bad after all!

hmmmm we will see!

(Im hoping he will find another bowl next time... good ole fashioned boy colours....Blue,green this mum will even take orange!!but pink ??)

:)

ho hum

Pressies

Its like Christmas here when Tone gets back from a trip to China.This time he finally bought me these pretty chinese souveniers.I love the handbags etc etc but I kinda like these better.

The boys red army hats might be a little controversial at the moment,but they do love them.

BYU young Ambassadors

This was awesome.we all loved it.

We all went to the DEC(Derwent Entertainment Centre)last night for a fantastic show.

So funny and some much loved favourties like Hercules song,Mulan song and funny King Arthur and the knights of the round table which really impressed the boys....went for 1 & 1/2 hours so too many to name

260 students auditioned for 26 spots.the talent was sensational.

Happy Mothers Day

how good is being a Mum!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love it.

Tony on the Great wall of China

Ok we really are happy for you Babe!!!

buuuut........

we wanna come!!

this time he went to a part of the wall that had a luge type track with a taboggan that went down a zig zag track about the height of mount wellington.he said he got a bit of speed up at times coz the chinese are a bit timid and not into speed racing.Then its a cable car back up to the top again...good idea for the ole mt wellington hey.

look at all that clear chinese air...(not)...lets be grateful for blue skies all you aussies and try not to be green with envy coz you not on the wall...like me...hmmm blue skies or the great wall???

can i just add my poem now!!??

(well poem used by Pres Hinckley couple conferences ago at the Relief Society session)

now a favourite of mine,

By Anne Campbell

You are the trip I did not take;

You are the pearls I cannot buy;

You are my blue Italian lake;

You are my piece of foreign sky.

("To my child,"quoted in Charles L.Wallis, ed.,The Treasure Chest (1965),54.
