Angelic Bryan

Check out my candy!
I found this photo of Bryan. It was St. Emilie's Christmas party and the organisers were looking for some kids to put on costumes to do the Nativity scene. I asked Caitlyn to take part but she said she was too "nervous" to do it... Then surprisingly, Bryan kept pulling on my sleeve, saying "i want to wear the gown..." over and over again.. Since he asked, I wasn't about to pass up the chance ... thinking "wow.. he's finally trying to take part spontaneously, trying to belong to a group and trying to fit in". Then I dressed him up as an angel.. after that, he asked "I want my crown". So I gave him his "crown" (halo). After that, he pretty much stayed with the group, sat together but of course, didn't know the lyrics to the Christmas carols. I was very happy that he managed to "take part" willingly and behaving well... UNTIL Santa started giving out candy which gave him a sugar buzz... oh man..

Christmas Light up at 35 Darwinia Loop, Canning Vale

I took my Brother in law and Caitlyn back to my old house since my ex-neighbour took part in the Christmas Light up competition again. As usual, the house was illuminated. A few neighbours had their lights up as well and the whole street looked spectacular, as usual. Brian and Mark managed to create yet another year, a very bright and wonderful atmosphere. The top photos were taken using my LG990. Didn't do the lights justice, did it?

Peek - A - Boo!

My first organic grapes!

I was clearing the dense foliage a couple of days ago and guess what I found? Yup! My very first couple of green grapes... Honestly, I wanted to trim down the er... tree? bush?... well.. grape plant cos honestly it was growing well into my neighbours' garden.. yes it's an "'s'"- The one next to me and the one behind and the one next to the one behind... that's how wild the vines have grown. I accidentaly spilled some fertiliser during spring and it hasn't stopped wild-vining since. The problem is that the leaves all get caught in my laundry, there's lots of cocroaches there and the vines... oh man.. can they creep into crevices and take hold! I can swing on it and it won't even break.. Tarzan being able to swing on a vine?......... Not a myth. I'm just going to take photos of it for keepsakes... don't think I want to eat the grapes.. honestly, there's way too many creepy crawlies out there and no, I've not used any pesticides on it at all. Very organic hor?

Cookie Baking Project

Look at them go!

After making their own jell-o, the kids thought they could have a go making cookies. I made Bryan scrub his hands before starting cos he had green Play-Doh in his fingernails! Derrick went out and got a box of M&M cookie mix. The kids loved every minute of it. Look at their faces! When they finish the cookies up, they'll be making Gingerbread Men.... and women...

TA-DAAA!!!!
