Farting Chickens!

Disgusting yes .... but that's what the boys have named the Chicken Corden Bleus that they love so much.

One of my treasures is family.

Recently I have neglected my blog. A lot of my spare time has been spent on Facebook connecting with friends(most of whom I see weekly),commenting on pics, and uploading photos to an audience that probably isn't really interested in what my daughter is baking or what my sons are excelling at!

As my brother once said about my blog.... "Who wants to read about what you're doing?" To which my response was, "I blog to create memories for my family, if people want to read them that's great." But with Facebook, memories can not be created.

My family is growing up so quickly and I want those memories written down and remembered so that I can look back and laugh, cry and even cringe at the goings on in our beautifully chaotic mix that I call family!
"For where your treasure is there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21
So.... my dear blog you get more of me!

The circus is calling......

I challenged Miss Tanzi.
"Come on chikabee ..... why don't you try standing on your bicycle seat with one leg whilst sticking the other one out?"(I demonstrated on Terra Firma).

"No, I can't do that!" she emphatically retorted.

"There's no such word as can't sweetie..... you just got to keep trying till you can!" I replied as I walked away.

10 minutes later she called me to come take a video.

Get better my Cooldude. xxx

Sobering moment

Cooldude made me giggle as we walked into church this past Sunday. He announced.... "The Gibbons' have arrived lock up the wine!"
It's no secret that I do like a glass(or two) of the good juice and WizzKid and I often joke that coca-cola is to him, as wine is to me. CoolDude's quote brought images to mind of me revelling at the communion table and I quietly chuckled as the message about the end times began.
I 'sobered up' very quickly! hehe
On a more spiritual note .... I'm so happy to be back in a church that values the Word, and Worship as a lifestyle.
