Blog Secret: Lips are sealed.

So Yesterday afternoon brought us very exciting news.

Pregnant? YES!

We are expecting another bundle of joy!

So far this is a blog secret, not many family members know, being only around the 5 week mark im a little reluctant to anounce it to the whole world.

So heres to another 35-36 weeks of pregnancy!

Bobbie, this was my reason for stopping reductil :D

Where oh where has my baby gone?

Well here we are 12-01-2010. Skylah's birthday has been and gone and my princess is now three.

I cannot believe how fast the past three years have gone. Where has my baby gone?

I shed a tear looking at photos of her first birthday party this morning, comparing to her second and now third. My baby is now a grown up 3 year old little princess that acts like she is 15 sometimes and puts me at shame in Woolworths on the odd occasion, what child doesn't?
I wouldn't have her any other way.

So yesterday marked the day that Skylah turned three.

Although Sunday was soo farking hot, we celebrated with family and friends. The kids had a swim; we ate lots of junk food and talked lots of crap. Skylah got very spoilt. The kids bashed the crap out of the poor piñata, Skylah was very upset because they were 'hurting' the unicorn, bless her. And come 3pm party was over and everyone had gone home to bed :))


We love you so much baby girl, we are so proud of you, Happy Birthday!

I can't wait for the day I tell your Woolworths stories at your twenty-first!

Twenty-one? Oh no.

I feel like this way too often lately.

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'

He told me to get off my butt,
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my good work.
I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops - I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into it -
I was into it all night.

So nothing's changed except my mouse.
It's as shiny as the sun.
I guess my house will stay a mess.....
While I sit here on my bum.

Sheer Talent.

I was lost for words when i watched this video.

This woman is so talented, even bringing a tear to my eye.

Kseniya Simonova, 24 of "Ukraine's Got Talent"/no more war
This video shows the winner of "Ukraine's Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II.

Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch. The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $130,000.00

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.

It is replaced by a woman's face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman's face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine , resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.

Kseniya Simonova says:

"I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there's surely no bigger compliment."
