{Blog} Weekly Wind Up


My week was pretty boring really. Our fence is finished at home, so Keaton and Ernie can roam freely and safely now. However typical Auckland weather has prevented them from stepping out so far.

I have run out of data on my phone, so took a week off the #FMSPHOTOADAY challenge, I still took some pictures for it, but I was kind of over it because I could not snap and upload all at once. However I am back for this week, so if you want to see what I have gotten up to in the previous weeks, see below:
Check back next week to see what I captured this week.

My Monday started off with this cup of coffee, I thought the caption on it was most fitting for my Monday.
We are having our kitchen redone, I cant wait for it to be done. I am currently trying to decide what sink I like, hubby likes one, and I like another, so trying to see which one will work best with our space. I will post a before and after on here once its complete (I don't want to scare everybody off with the one that is in there now). The rest of the week involved looking online for kitchen "stuff" and colour combinations to go with. Oh yes, and work...naturally.

I had to catch the bus to work on Thursday. It was so cold, and wet, luckily I can walk from our house to the bus stop, and it was a short walk. While waiting for the bus, I did what any good blogger does, snapped a picture of my surroundings!

Saturday was the Sky Tower Firefighters Climb. 750 Firefighters basically ran up the Sky Tower in Auckland, to raise money for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer. 1,103 steps, 51 floors, and carrying 25kg's of kit. Brad was one of the 750 to do it. Keaton and I went along to show our support. Keaton LOVED it, he had a grin on his face the entire time, he is absolutely besotted with Firemen and Fire Trucks.

 If you follow me on social media, you would have seen these pictures below already. If you aren't following me, you should be :). My links are here: Facebook / Instagram.

Keaton loves playing with my phone. I have a folder of apps for him with educational games etc. He knows where the folder is, and can navigate around my phone really well (for a 2 year old). However, he has not managed to work out how to unlock it yet (I have tried to get him to do the whole finger print thing, but its easier said than done), so if he wants to play a game and my phone is locked, he just pushes buttons... so he was doing that, and this happened. Luckily after a while, it let me put my code in and was fine, but I still got a shock when I saw it.

and I often get a cup of tea, so this was a nice change

 Its my mums birthday today, so we all went over to my parents house yesterday for tea. I made a chocolate cake, and it looked fine in the oven, but when I took it out, it had gone like a brownie, it was definitely cooked, but looked all gooey, and was crumbly. So I did what any good baker does, cover it in sprinkles and icing, and hope that nobody notices. Apparently it was good, and everyone survived, so couldn't have been that bad.

The finished product

Finally to end off the weekend, I was asked for ID when I was at the grocery store yesterday. Brad had some beer in the trolley, and as I was paying for them, the lady asked me for my ID, I suppose I should take it as a compliment, but being 29 years old, I hardly think I look like a teenager. 
Apparently I have a baby face!
Until next week!

My Week in Pictures

 Here is what my phone camera snapped over the week.
Monday
 
I love getting sent these pictures of Keaton when I am at work. He spends a couple of days a week with my parents, and I get pictures of him throughout the day. We were lucky enough to have one or two days of good weather last week, which was great. Keaton was able to play outside, and not be cooped up indoors. He loves to play outside.
Tuesday

These pictures are of Keaton at his finest. He loves eating, especially now that we let him feed himself. Who ever invented these bibs with the plastic sleeves and catch pocket is a genius. It makes it so easy for him to get messy, while not really making a mess. He was munching on pasta here, and doing a really good job at it.
I didn’t take this picture – but it was sent to me by my sister. We are lucky enough to have our kids four weeks apart. They live in South Africa though – so I unfortunately have never met him, or her husband, but we are going to South Africa next year for a holiday, so will get to meet them then. Anyway back to the picture. My parents sent him some golf clubs – and this picture was him opening them. He is just too cute.
Wednesday
I work from home on Wednesdays – it was a beautiful day on Wednesday – one of the few really hot days we have had. After I picked Keaton up – we went to have a play in the garden at my parents’ house.  Keaton loves to be in the nude – so thought why not let him have a bit of nappy free time. He has learnt how to work the watering can – and loves watering the plants, as well as splashing in the bird feeder. I love spending time with him, and making memories.
Thursday
I only took one picture on Thursday. This is Ernie! He is a Shih Tzu cross Lhasa Apso. He is almost 3 years old. He is a very cheeky dog. But he loves Keaton, and Keaton loves him. They are best friends. I love watching their relationship grow closer everyday.

Friday



If you are ever in Newmarket in Auckland, head over to Urban on Carlton Gore Road. They make the most divine White Chocolate and Plum Brioche. They are made fresh every day, and I love to have one as a treat after a long week.

Saturday




Love capturing moments like this. Keaton was about to go and help his dad do the washing, while I was enjoying a cup of coffee.

Keaton’s outfit of the day. Gap dungarees, chuck Taylors, a long sleeve grey top, and a bandana bib that my Mum made. I enjoy dressing him up, he is like my little doll.
Bradley (my husband) and I decided to make a tent for Keaton on Saturday. Finally all Keaton's toys are in one place in the lounge. I found a tutorial on how to make this tent here . It was a little tricky for us to try and convert everything from feet and inches, to mm – but got there in the end. I love how it turned out. There are still a few things to be done (a name plate and some bunting), but other than that, its done.

Sunday


I was sent another gorgeous picture of my sister and her son. Love these guys!!!!


Hubby made me some Egg on toast for breakfast – I do love eggs…


We went for a walk at the beach on Sunday afternoon – it was so cold and windy though – we didn’t do on the beach itself, we just walked on the grass next to it. Ernie needed a run – and he loves going to the beach. Keaton was dressed up to keep warm, and was on his trike – which he absolutely loves. My cousin came to visit us, so he was pushing Keaton along.
That's what I got up to last week - in a nut shell anyway!!!!!
LET'S BE FRIENDS
