|a pretty a day is here and away|

Documenting life's beauty, as seen through the eyes of a lady blessed with everything a girl could dream of, and more: five gorgeous kids, patient and providing husband, an adorable dog, a very cheeky frog, and still time enough to get crafty and creative in the kitchen or with my trusty needles, thread and yarn!
The joys of being Queen of the household! Rejoice, and the world joins in!

CLUTTER-FREE BUTTERFLIES

Where has all the clutter gone!

You'd never have guessed that the Amazing New Addition to our living space is sitting pretty on MEL'S DESK!!! It was ever so ... cluttered and ... filthy just this morning!

All it took was the doorbell and my shout of excitement "MEL DID YOU ORDER AN IMAC?!!"

and ... UP Mel jumped, out of bed (at noon, mind you) and straight to the living room where I had to put my foot down and make sure we had her desk cleaned out before we could put this beauty on it!

EVERYONE WALKED INTO THE HOME, TOOK ONE GLANCE (EYES WIDENING), AND RAN TOWARDS IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T THEIR IMAGINATION.

"OH MY GOD" the kids shouted without fail, upon laying eyes on it. Aww kids.

WE WERE ALL TAKEN BY SURPRISE!

What a shocker! The screen's ever so big! We had all gotten used to the teensy screens on our laptops... and after all the trouble with Nick's laptop and the ol' Vaio (served us well, ol' dame!)... this is DEFINITELY a welcome treat!

Check out Nick and me... had to feed him his spaghetti-and-meatballs just cos he was so keen on getting his hands on the magic keyboard and magic mouse (that's really what they're called! cos they're wireless, i think. they run on batteries and that's pretty cool...)



One of these days I must do a post about my secretary days... livin' it up and playing boss around the office, being treated like a princess ;) and my MANY TYPEWRITERS!!! If iMacs had been around, I'D HAVE HAD ONE! I always had the latest typewriter! I still have one, and Kim's prettied it up with her signature peony flower embellishments!

I'll post that once she gets home with that iPhone to take a picture! Oh, we're such Apple freaks now. Trouble is, how can I tell these kids to get down to work when I can't pull myself away from this pretty pretty thing! Haha, take a queue number, kiddos, your momma's gonna have her go at the computer first ;) Momma's privilege!

"You guys had better keep the keys white!" I warned.

Previous encounters and a recent unfortunate incident involving water and a certain mobile device have left me with enough experience to foresee any potential stains, damage, or fuss. The kids know they're never gonna get away with any fusses around here!

Anyway... OHHH THESE KEYSS... THE HUGE SCREEN... THE SOUND SYSTEM...

Daddy's Fifty-Second!


Hello, everyone!

It's me Nicholas, writing a beautiful blog post on behalf of mother... As usual. Things have been real snappy around here in Jurong. National Day, Ben's Birthday, Grandpappy's Birthday and now Dad's birthday! My oh my, I've never seen such a cluster of joyous events!

I went out with Benjamin today to get presents for good old daddy, and boy did we take care of that assignment! I was really proud of myself for surviving out in the wild for three hours, how proud I was indeed!

Daddy's real happy with his presents, and we're real happy that he's real happy. Now that he's sleepy, we're all sleepy, too! So I guess I'll sign off here, 'cause ninjas are just stealthy pirates!


Lovingly,
Nicholas

Benny Boy


So my Big Boy Ben gets a year older today!

HAPPY TWENTY-THIRD YEAR OF GOOD LIVING, BEN! Brings a tear to my eye when I think of everything you have achieved! :') --> see! a tear!

Found this tune which I was actually tracking down for my own birthday just a few weeks back. Couldn't spot it on YouTube the other day, but hey! Found it today, and just in time for your birthday too! So it must be meant for you, my boy! Click play to enjoy, Ben! ;)



More tonight after the PARTYYY!

Your momma and friend forever

HAIR!


GUESS WHO'S THE NEW GIRL IN TOWN (to take a dig at that redhead Wendy, who's always flooded over anyway)

MOI, folks, moi!

Decided to take a break from my house responsibilities, and trotted down to my fav stylist. Here ya go, a new Yolly Anna!

Gee whiz, sure am enjoying myself, it really is true that the hair makes the girl... I feel like flitting about in vanity ;) but a mom's job must go on! (and on and on and on and so on... and on... ya get the drift)



Dance along!
