The Farm

Photo shoots are my favourite. There is something so fun about dressing up and tramping around mushy paddocks with balloons and Kt's wonderful lounge!

We have a friend who needed to practise her photography and she asked if we would be happy to have some shots done.

These are a few that we have been given a sneak peek at.

This is AWESOME!!!!

Oh by the way I passed my exams despite having galndular fever and using approximately 17 tissues in 3 hours with Clinical science 71% and Ambulance practice with 81%.

(G. Fever is self diagnosed ;-)

Looking for inspiration last night while having as few lights on as possible to no alarm or alert my neighbours I am home as I am not ment to be and I don;t want to be given delicous Youldon food (non refridgerated for past 4 days!!!)

Any way I found this

The 9yr old boy up stairs was on guard duty for them and kept a diary record of all they did- he's so cute & perculiar! He also created a young inventors machint to make hair cuts less itchy with a vacuum and brush combo. Cool kid (school doesn't work so well for him either Kenzi!)

Our Wedding McVersary

Last night Andrew and I hit the road for our fourth wedding anniversary. Yup, it's been four whole years and a whole lot of fun and craziness. To continue the fun and craziness we decided that rather than have a grown-up meal at a grown-up restaurant we would try and hit every drive-thru in Geelong. We would buy one item at each restaurant, tell each other a highlight of our four years, eat and then head to the next restaurant. Here's how far we got:

*Red Rooster, salt and pepper calamari
*Hungry Jacks, orange juice
*McDonalds, fries
*KFC, zinger
*McDonalds, fanta
*Bendigo Bank drive-thru ATM, $50
*McDonalds, cheese burger
*McDonalds, McDouble
*KFC, Gaytime krusher (which I had to order cause Andrew just couldn't bring himself to ask the teenage boy for a Gaytime!)
*Red Rooster, garden salad
*Hungry Jacks, cookies and cream storm

After 11 drive-thrus we were done, thankfully it was time for us to go home for Langlan's feed and I'm not sure we could have stomached any more drive-thru food.

We've had four amazing years. Every time we had to come up with a highlight of our four years we'd take ages because there's been so many. I have the best husband in the world (he's the only one I've had but I feel I'm an authority on this, I'm sure some others out there will disagree!). Yeppity-yep.

Road Salami

.......

Ha ha ha

Sometime (in particular now) you need to laugh

Laugh at life's odd-ities

Silly strange things you see abd hear,

that to the untrained eye seem dull, normal, or simply go unnoticed

Today's special Oddity:

3 BIG rolls of Salami in the middle of a 8 lane high way!!!!

I laughed, i mused 'How did they get there'

And the Mac- scab side of me thought

'If i could get them, would they be edible- it's long life salami after all!!'

Love you all- thanks for the support xxx

(I wish I could harnass the support and give myself a higher clevage!)

Make this bread

It's DEEEEE-licious. And easy-peasy. Just remember the day before, 5 minutes of putting together, wait til the next day, bake and you're done. I also make raisin bread from the same recipe. I leave out the salt and add 1 tablespoon of raw sugar (instead of the other sugar), 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and a whole load of sultanas. Yum. The recipe is from here. And the pizza base rocks as well.

A Story for the Lovelocks

This is a picture of Langlan, Auntie Ferry, Grandpa Mac and Mumma/Vonny. We're in an airplane flying to New Zealand. Grandpa is looking worried because Langlan is flying the plane. Everyone else is looking happy and excited because they're going to see Emi, Madi and Harri. Yay, we can't wait for August!

What came first, the child or the egg?

Our chooks (sadly Millie is no longer with us) started laying again after a two week holiday. I found an egg this morning, popped it on the grass (nowhere near where Langlan was) and ran inside to get a cup to water my coriander. And this is what happened while I was gone. Little mobile boy + freshly laid egg in the grass = no omelets for dinner.

hello sisters!!!

I love all your posts.
I read all your posts.
I miss you all so much.
I wish I was better at time manangement to put a proper post on- I don't even have kids so what is my excuse????!!!!
Renovating is starting to be just that rather then demolishing so that is exciting.
Though I am unsure how much Dad likes my "lay em as they fall" kitchen flooring approach-
Just how much is to much pva and saw dust between bendy floor boards?!
I've slept my second nite there this time with 1/2 decent bed which still didn't make a change to my lack of sleep.
Working lots to make up for the days I spend with Frida which is slighlty unpleasant!
Got asked to at a servo how much I wanted to sell my car for.... I turned around and said.... "MY car......" Guy never replied when I told him $4,000 (fathers idea!!!)
Yacob....... Maybe I don't want to be strong enough despite loving him.......
Back to Sydney in 6 weeks for 3 weeks and find out in 2 weeks where I get. Hopefully Antartica or Chile they are both in NSW aren't they???!!!

I miss you all incrediously. Loved our clothes swap Trinny where she got a jacket I'm jealous of and I got a bog (or rather bAg) that she adored!!!! See you soon Cal. And stay safe Linny.

Kati Mac XXX

A is for Ages

Yup, it's been ages since I've posted. It's so nice to see Trinny keeping up the blog though!

I've found a teensy bit of time to pop on here. Langlan is moaning in his room, the Dutchies are wandering around Melbourne, there's banana cake in the oven and a pile of dishes to be done.

Some things are taken care of, others definitely aren't. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

I thought I'd put a picture of my stellar mothering on here for a laugh. Langlan had been playing in his bedroom and I walked in to find this:Langlan's Feet 5 months and 10 days old

Which from the side looks like this.Langlan, 5 months 10 days old

This kid is an explorer. He goes where no baby has gone before. As they say, I think we've got a live one!

Babies

I love making baby presents.
Here are a few I have made recently.
I am in love with these little bloomers.
