Bird is the word, cracking nuts


 Hi everyone, a wonderful sunny but cold day here today, this is my Bird is the Word layout using the word AMAZING, when waiting for a meal never fear Nate will find a way to occupy himself....lol

It was Ipswich Cup Day today and I always love this day as we are only 1 street away from the Race Track and cars line our street, you see the gorgeous suits and ladies fascinators and dresses (short was the fashion this year...) walking to the races but the trip home is a different story, often the girls are not wearing their shoes but holding them. And whilst they await taxis and Limos they are always jovial and merry......We instead went shopping, and spent the arvo at my friend's house, her mum carries oxygen and whilst shopping she was so impressed how Nate held her hand and carried her oxygen bottle for her....boy this made me proud. We are home now, super cold tonight and just going to put Transformers on....he loves this movie.


Here is my boy after we collected Macadamia's from our tree, he has been cracking his own nuts for over 18 months and has got very good at it. Yes I do cringe a little but I have told him how to secure the nuts and hold the hammer and the rest they say is experience.
This is his prize, he loves them and gets so excited when he gets a full one out of the shell whole. These are the things that I hope he will remember doing with me in years to come.

Okay, I will be over to check out your blogs soon, but Transformers awaits and I bought some popcorn so we could make it even more special, although I have watched this movie with him about 3 times before.....

Tonight it is just the 4 of us on the lounge, Max, Stan, Nate and I.


Love to you all dear friends. Melxx
