easter.
okay so i know christmas hasn’t even come and gone yet. but because of work, we need to plan many many many months ahead, so this morning i was (and still in the process of) researching what to put in the children’s easter packs for easter sunday. and when i was googling easter crafts, it hit me how almost majority (about ninety percent) of what i saw all had the typical bunny or chick...
josie and the pussycat dolls.
best movie ever.

daniel: yeah and mum beats him every time and every time he wants a rematch
me: poor 'peonis'

mum: oh yeah that's true..she does eat a lot.
mum: here emma finish it off.
late night conversations.
last night daniel and me were chilling it got onto the topic of the popcorn machine at church and daniel working it tomorrow. daniel decided to wear a beanie and try rapping to the word popcorn. i so so so so so wish that i had videotaped it. it was awkward. he couldn’t even rhyme.
after church..
lianne (whose nine years old): so emma..you kind of look..loose..
me: you mean hobo?
lianne: yeah.. i was thinking of that but i thought it would be too offensive
me: oh! it's okay lianne i freely embrace hobo-ness so it's fine!
me: hey mum, lianne just said how i dress like a hobo.
mum: well you do don't you.
it's time to go back to the foundations.

and the second year what springs from that. But in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above.”

dad: well i think if i wore it i would look like a pimp.
mum and me: ....yeah...
first drink back.

i think when my brother-in-law swears about some guy in australia. it’s best not to accept his invitation for a date. wai do awkward things always happen to me just before i leave for another country..
