Had enough

of blogger right now. I've been waiting hours for photos to upload. I wait, and I wait, and I wait. Then it just drops out and says I have no internet connection. Blogger always does this to me. I give myself a day for photos to upload, always. But I can't take it anymore today. Will try again tomorrow.

At the risk of sounding like a bit of a Nanna

I, personally, am quite excited that high waisted pants are making a comeback. Although I think hipsters are very comfy I am sick to death of living in fear of flashing my butt whenever I bend over to pick Clary up, or whatever it is I'm doing. Trends are so funny, because once the hipster trend started, this was the only style you could find anywhere. PITA. And while it's going to take a while to get used to the whole high waisted look again, I think we should all celebrate the return of the high waist. No more muffin tops. No more random brickies' cracks (except from the brickies, painters and other tradies who wear this look so well).
And no more searching for those tops that were just long enough to meet up with our low waisted pants. See when they brought the low waist/hipster pants in they never changed the top half of the picture to match. Am I the only one who finds every top, shirt, whatever, just way too short??
Bring back the high waisted pants and this will be a thing of the past, I say.

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about (although AS IF I would spend that much money on a pair of pants!!!)

So I mentioned a little while back that we were going to be putting our house on the market. Well...........now we're not. We're going to rent it out instead. Very scary. I hope we get good tenants in.
So in two weeks time we'll be moving out of this little house. We then will be staying with my parents until we get tenants in this place, and then we will move again and rent a house, for a while at least.
Anyway that means I have got lots and lots to do. So I have been using the TV as a baby sitter which is terrible I know. But sometimes you just need time to get things done. I hate doing it and feel really guilty that I do do it. So I try to do 'stuff' as well.
Today we did this little Lead Lite frog which my mum sent to Ruby a little while ago. Do you know these? I remember doing them when I was little.
You start with a little metal frame (in the shape of a frog in this case), put it on a baking tray lined with foil................. cut open your little packets of beads
..............and put the beads in place, using tweezers if you have to as Ruby has here
then it's into the oven
and you know what? I don't actually have a picture of the finished product as he has disappeared. But the little beads melt together to look like stained glass. Very cute.
Our main activites for 'get away from the TV but stay inside the house' are drawing and painting. If you have some more ideas for me please leave a comment. Things that are pretty simple because I'm trying to pack up and clean the house here.

He got his cake (from the CheeseCake Shop) and ate it too.
Happy Birthday baby boy (yeah, yeah, I know it was a week ago)

My baby is one.

Clary turned one, one week ago (I'm so slack, not posting this before now, I know). He is such a precious little fella, we are so lucky to have him. We were visiting my family on his birthday, ad he was spoilt, as all birthday boys should be. My sister made him this little treasure to hang in his room. It is felt shapes, on a ribbon hanger. I love the little car best, especially the big button wheels.
From Grandma and Granda he got this fabulous spinning top and he loves it (so does Ruby). I love old fashioned childrens toys. Special.
It's tin and when it's spinning fast it makes a sound which reminds me of a train rushing past.
Here it is in action.

He also got some books, and new clothes for winter which was fabulous as I had next to nothing for him in the way of warm clothes. I love this top my sister gave him.

I love watching my little boy growing but it make me sad too. Part of me just wants him to stay little forever.

I have hit my quota for pictures here so I am going to do another post so I can show off a picture of my fella with his birthday cake.

LOOK!!!!

If funky kids beanies are for you, you must check this out - LaFolie are having a sale!!
That's all I'm saying.

This is fine dining.

Well it is in this house.
