Love her!

Random 199Random 200

 

Top Left: We woke up and it was absolutely FREEZING. Of course I hadn’t done the washing so I had to chuck on whatever was in Laelas cupboard and this is what she end up wearing – bear beanie, thick pink socks, bright pink tracky pants, bright red jumper and a white cloth as her bib. ha ha. Poor thing. She still makes it look so cute though!

Top Right: This seems to be what is happening every morning when Laela wakes up. Her clothes are alll pulled out of her cupboards. Until I get a baby lock for her wardrobe I am using sticky tape! ha ha

Bottom Right: She is so full of life and energy! And not to mention cheekiness! I love it. I wouldn’t want her anyway! She keeps things interesting! :)

Bottom Left: Laela must take after me – I too love love LOVE my spaghetti with meat sauce. I think most people have at least one picture of themselves when they were a kid with a Spaghetti Bolognese face!

Free VIP tickets!

 

How!? Well, the company I work for got the free VIP tickets to the NZ Breakers vs Sydney Kings Basketball game and no one was able to go so they called me up! Boy was it AWESOME! I had been to a few basketball games ‘back in the day’ and I loved it just as much then. So, to sit in the VIP seats next to my buddy Jess, my big fat plate of roast, endless supply of sprite and water, FREE T-Shirts and front row seats to the cheerleaders was great! ha ha ha The ball even came my way and I had to hand it back to a player – ha ha ha! Oh! AND I made it on TV. FAMOUS!!!!

Mmmmm Roast! Because the game was on St. Patricks day, the half time show were Irish Dancers – pretty cool. Better than wanna be Cheerleaders!

 

Breakers Game 182

Half time score! It was such a close game!! Neck and neck the whole time! I was cheering for both teams. I really wanted the Sydney Kings to win because I am from Australia. But I was definitely out numbered!!

Breakers Game 185

Well done Breakers! They came out on top. Sydney should have won it though. Too many silly mistakes in the last 12 seconds of the games cost them! Oh well! Definitely loved watching the game!

Painting with friends

This is what we started with!

Laela LOVED painting with her hands! She preferred the hands over the paintbrush. It was so cute though when she didn’t want the paint on

her hands anymore, she kept rubbing it on her face and was trying to get the paint off her hands by rubbing them together, but it ended up making more mess. ha ha ha. Ohhh Laela!

Keep on swimming swimming….

So! This week our big adventure was off to the pools! I had never really noticed the ‘kids’ area before and was pleasantly surprised when I got into the pool that the kids pool was HEATED! How nice!!! Otherwise Laela could have been swimming by herself! ha ha ah jokes! So we met up with a few other Mums and their kiddiwinkles and they splished and splashed until their little hearts were content! Laela went under water for the first time (other than her bath), what a brave girl! I think I was more paranoid about it then her! Then she soon became confident and was jumping off the edge of the pool into my arms! Very entertaining!

P.S. When it was time to get dressed my friends minded Laela for me while I got changed and because I was rushing to quickly get changed I walked straight into the mens changing room!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, SO embarrassed and I think the guys who saw me see them were embarrassed too! ha ha ha ha! As I was realising that I had walked into the wrong changing room the guys said to me “Uhhh… wrong changing room lady!” I reminded him that I was WELL aware of that and quickly walked out! Man I am an idiot! ha ha ha
