Winter Holiday ::: Stills, part 2

STILLS

1. A view on a dull Winter's Day from Iris's sill... them bears are ALL op-shopped/garage-saled... 

2. Enjoying the winter sun..

3. Um yeh - use jelly crystals to colour/flavour icing - SUCH a great result.. can't believe I've never done it before!

4. 14th July @ Bastille Cafe (in our lounge)..

French Onion soup, French Fries (!)

French Vanilla ice cream with nutella crepes..

History/politics/language/geography lesson

And crazy french accents. Great music via spotify ('french cafe music')

Kids loved it..

5. This boy loves to bake - what better on a cold afternoon?

Linking, for the first time, with The Beetle Shack

Lately :: Winter Scenes Part One

So the school holidays have finished, and my blog break is also over..

We had some good times, but the holidays were also full of quite a lot of sickness. Dang. I was the only one in the family who wasn't sick. (*touching wood*)

Teeny tiny mouse making! (the kind of mice I can cope with!!)

Soup smorgasbords with cousins and friends..

Dinner by toadstool-light..

I've seen these all over the www, but my first ACTUAL taste/look.. Good!

Fish and Chip night.. (individual packs - a BIG thrill!)
For those who don't know, down here in NZ that's how fish and Chips come from the takeaway shop - wrapped in newspaper!

Homemade, with vege juice which is a standard drink we make when we have f 'n' c!!

Arlo's selfie 

Daddy doing the nails..

Lots of blogs to catch up on - hopefully this weekend!!

I'm behind on everything..
been chasing my tail..

Hoping to have a cruisy weekend so I can actually get something done!!

Happy Days despite the craziness!
