Keira brought home a new friend on her first day of highschool…I have to give her credit….to make a new friend that fast…her name is Rosemarie Jitmakuso. Try saying that 3 times after a few drinks, even without a few drinks would be difficult.



Strange girl, came in while I was in the kitchen and gestured hang loose to me. I’d only just met her!



I cooked my first baked Alaska that afternoon.
Tip: Baked Alaska brings everyone to the table without being called. They actually came in and waited for me to dish it out.



On a different subject, Jane has a habit lately of turning up whenever Dave and I are getting ‘cosy’ with one another.



OK So we were out the front on that particular occasion but yesterday she walked in to our bedroom while we were making out! I think it caught her by surprise! Keira must have let her in….i really think she needs to get herself a man.



I keep forgetting Keira finishes school now at 1.30 instead of 3. It was probably better that Jane caught us rather than Keira, might have scarred her for life. Hahaha.

I’m keeping a closer eye on that girl of mine since I caught her outside last night shivering from the cold. She had been playing with Pippin and when I went to call her for dinner and she's actually turned blue.



It was lucky I called when I did because next thing you know she suddenly goes stiff and falls face first like a plank of wood into the snow. She literally froze! There was my baby lying unconscious on the ground with her head completely buried beneath the snow. Imagine if I hadn’t seen her! If she didn’t freeze to death she would have suffocated!



If it wasn’t so terrifying I might have laughed at the sight. Back, butt and one leg poking out from the snow. One cup of hot chocolate later and a good night sleep she was right as rain, but still….

I don’t know what it is about Keira and winter. Do you know she still gets urges to sell lemonade whenever it’s freezing outside…is it me or is she getting too old to be doing that anyway?
No harm in it I guess…but she is rather big for the stand.



While I have one of my children sitting behind a lemonade stand in the snow my other child is in the bathroom dancing his heart out.
My kids are loony!



Dave reckons they get it from me! This is coming from someone who talks to his plants…
