Imogen Wants You!

I think she's pretty convincing. :)

I have been taking a LOT of photos over the past few weeks. The long weekend was quite the photofest. On Sunday I was invited to go to Imogen's blessing. Of course, I took my camera to get some shots of their family on Imogen's special day. :)







Devin's mum Chris and cousin Anne were over for the blessing, and on Monday we all went to have a picnic at the Gorge. After a few hours there (it was sooo lovely), we headed over to the City Park to see the monkeys. Here are the two cutest monkeys around:












We all had a great day :)

Life's Important Lessons

About 5 or 6 weeks ago (Well, actually, it was the day Anna had Imogen, so, 5 and a half weeks ago), I had not long been home from Canberra, and owed The Kings a few hours. (Imagine a person so gracious that she would let me be gone for a total of 10 weeks this year!!!) Aaron and Lisa went out for dinner while I stayed home with all four boys! :) Luckily, they're excellently behaved, and Sir Kobe was already fast asleep.

Now, I'm a teacher. I believe that it's so important to give students rich, hands-on educational experiences. I believe that students need strong role models; role models who can demonstrate to them the important skills and understandings they need for every day life (this feels a lot like the rubbish I've been writing for the past three years). So, you'll understand that this is PRECISELY why I deemed it necessary to teach Jalen how to do a Tim Tam Slam.



Oh, you tax payers. Aren't you glad that your hard earned tax dollars have paid 14,000 dollars (it's sitting in a HECS loan at the moment) for me to become such an incredible teacher?!?

Oh My Gosh. YUM.

The other day, I was eating peanut butter and celery (a childhood favorite). Of course, I tweeted about it. My fellow Kinerd friend, Joey asked me if I'd ever put raisins (and, today I taught him, we call them 'sultanas') on this delicacy. No. I hadn't. Until today.


These ingredients can really only mean one thing...



Do yourself a favour. Make this. It's summery and delicious and yummy and there are so many different textures! COME ON! Yum.

(Also, pay close attention to the hyperlinks I've included in today's post)

(How awesome is it that I have time to blog about things like celery? Woo!)

If you're Anna Cullis...

...this is your life.

I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been...

I'll start off by saying that I am a very pathetic blogger. I am ashamed. Prac was so busy that I really just didn't get a chance to blog very often. Not only that, but I was so consumed with prac that I never did anything social that was really worth blogging about! Since then, I've been at uni, which hasn't been overly busy time-wise, but, lots of work to be done! And, I started working at Respite, as well as with Noah, so, I've just always had somewhere to be! Although, there has been time for blogging, I suppose. So, that's why I truly am a pathetic blogger. I will try my very best. (UNI IS OVER NOW!) (So I'll have more time..)

Luckily, now, I have a brand new digital SLR. It's awesome. Love it. :) So, I will be able to blog photos that I take. That will be fun. :) In fact, how about I do that right now. :)





Julez and I went for a drive out to my parents' house. It was a gorgeous day yesterday, and after all the rain (and rain, and rain, and rain, and rain) we've had, everything was extra green.

We also thought it'd be nice to swing out to Bridport, because that's only about 20-25 minutes from my parents' house. The Pintara enjoyed the drive, and having a look out along the beach while Julez and I frolicked on the beach. I also fulfilled some of my Kina Grannis Street Team duties by drawing in the sand. :)

















Also, you may have heard that on Friday afternoon, I bit the bullet and got my nose pierced. I have been thinking about it for ages, but we were sitting around on Friday afternoon, and I just said "right! I'm going! NOW!" I was sooo nervous, and it really really hurt (it makes me definitely want to put a hold on the child rearing, you know, since, I can hardly handle a hole being poked in my nose), but, I'm happy with it. Here is a hideous picture to prove the new fashion statement, of sorts. Click on the picture to see it closer ;)



I also went to my good friend Heather's, on Friday night, for a celebratory end of uni bbq. I took lots of pictures out there too, but I think I'm overdoing it on the pictures, and the HTML stuff is confusing me! So, I'll do that in another post soon! :) A great weekend. :)

Can I just say?...

I have finished all of my tutes and lectures and assignments and I'm DONE. DONE.
DONE.
