Potatoes

Can someone please tell me WHY potatoes are so darn expensive??? What happened to them being cheap!?!? I don't understand how a 5kg bag of potatoes costs $10.99. It is ridiculous and has caused me to blog about it! ha ha. Looks like there wont be potatoe salad with our BBQ any time soon!



How do you like your potatoes? I like mine roasted.

Vegie Garden

I have really got into the vegie garden this year. My attempt last year was very poor. I just planted the goods in the ground and hoped they would grow and produce something yummy to eat! But obviously, didn't have much luck.

However, THIS year I have been super good! We have planted lettuces (already eaten all six - time to plant some more!!), cucumber, rhubarb, tomato's, zucchini, coriander and parsley. I have been watering, weeding and singing to my plants and the result has been much better already!

I haven't taken very good photos of my garden but here are my out of control vegies!

Left: Cucumbers Right: Rhubarb

Left: My WILD zucchini's Right back: Tomato's, Right Front: Coriander & Parsley

And, check out this bad boy!!!! I am so proud! Look how huge it is!! I am sure there is some contest I can enter for 'Biggest Zucchini of the Year'

Bubbles

Ohhhhh I just LOVE her! She is so much fun!! At the moment, there is nothing more she likes than bubbles...

Dogs next door

Laela LOVES dogs! Our neighbors have dogs (who like to POO on MY lawn AND garden - but that is a whole nother post for another day!) and she stands from our balcony and talks? to them. ha ha.

Here is her "Oooooo!" that is cool face!

And her cute little bum...

3 yr Anniversary!

Time flies when your having fun!! Can't believe it has been 3 years already! Have absolutely loved it :)

Jeremy was his usual FABULOUS, ROMANTIC, HUNK-A-SPUNK self. We had a great day! Started out with lots of presents and gorgeous flowers....

Then off we went to Zavito's for dinner. Food was sooo yummy! I forgot to get a picture of the food, we ate it too fast ;) I had the lamb and Jeremy had the Chicken - no surprises there!

Then we went to the Auckland Stardome. It was pretty cool. We bought tickets off grabone. $15 for the two of us. Bargain!

And Jeremy being his nerdy self...

Love ya babe! xxx

Beach Day

The weather is warming up so we thought we would go to the beach with the beach toys. It is funny watching Laela so fascinated by sand! Such a simple thing. It was really nice to get out in the fresh air with Jeremy and Laela. She ate a lot of sand and loved watching the seagulls.

What's this on my hands?

Is this what I am meant to be doing with the toys?

"MUM! Hats don't suit me!"

"Ta da!"

Laela's Monkey

Laela was wide awake and wasn't planning on falling asleep any time soon, so Grandpapa (my Dad) thought he would play a game with Laela.

Laela is super in love with her monkey, which if you look closely is right under the pink barbie dress ha ha, so Dad would stack all the random toys to see if she could find the monkey... and boy did she find her monkey!!

She would start from the other side of the room, we would ask her, "Where is monkey??" then she would storm over to the stack of toys and yank out her toy monkey and walk off. ha ha. It was actually the funniest thing! Girl with attitude!!

Grandpapa building the tower of toys.

Laela grabbing her monkey and walking away.

And this picture is just too cute! This is her latest thing. Every thing 'cool' she sees is, "Ooooooooooo!"

Long time no see!

I have been meaning to get on here for awhile and blog on the past 8 months of my life but haven't had or the time or just couldn't be bothered. It has been so long that I forgot the user name/ password to sign into my blog AND i couldn't even remember what the website address was for my blog ha ha ha. Shame on me.

There is a lot I have to blog about but I am not going to blog in any particular order because that would involve too much effort. ha ha ha. So, posts coming soon!
