Blech. This is a 'pizza' that Sammy made at nursery for Baking Week. It looks pretty normal, but I can assure you it is not. First, they used pure tomato paste as the sauce (ick!!), they then topped it with cheddar cheese, ham, orange peppers, and what we can only assume are, of ALL things - radishes??!! After this picture was taken, it went straight into the bin. Sammy had no intention of eating it, and neither did we!

I'm on my way to British citizenship! First, I had to have enough cash to pay for the application (which we'll send off in September). As we recently got a tax refund, we are very fortunate to be able to do this. Next, I had to pass a test proving to the UK government that I a) speak English and b) can memorize a bunch of facts and figures! Having British citizenship will really be wonderful, especially if we should decide we want to move back to the UK in the future. It will mean no more visa applications or fees!

Sometimes the only way to get Sammy to eat is to put his high chair in front of the TV with either Jungle Book or Artitocats on for his viewing pleasure. It just cracks me up how he reacts to some of the scenes!

Bloody country. Today was the first time I went to AND entered things in a village show. And it absolutely pissed down rain. And I mean pissed. Sammy, Granny, Jake and I got utterly soaked. This is the only pic I took because we just had to give up and go home. And to add insult to injury, none of my baked goods or photos won!

Here is Sammy at our weekly Friday lunch date at McDonalds (Daddy and Jake are there, too). This was taken seconds before he spilled the milk all over himself - a rare occurence actually, he's always been really good with cups.

In my dream world, I am Queen of all things Crafty. I haven't yet found a craft that I really love to do yet despite lots of time and money spent on things. I like a lot, just don't love it. I've always been interested in patchwork quilts so a few weeks ago I checked out this book by Kaffe Fassett and his take on patchwork. This is a patchwork he came up with that ended up not being quilted because it was so pretty with the light shining through it (it's a window blind now!). I love the modern look of it. One of these days I'll have to try my hand at this.

Sometimes I can't believe what beautiful countryside we live by. Yesterday was wonderful. We had amazing weather and drove to Pooley Bridge again. The first pic is enroute. The second, Sammy with 'mow mow', his current favorite toy. He pushed (or pulled) it all the way from the car park to the lake. The third pic is Glenn and Sammy wading in the water of Lake Ullswater. And the last pic is a rare one of ME with my boys (courtesy of Grandad). There was just no way I could choose one pic from such a perfect outing.

Here are my guys at Costco in Newcastle. Glenn would like me to point out that he does have some cool shoes!
