This week I'm grateful for... kites



Today I would  be very much grateful for some sunshine (someshine?) I don't know this El Nina very well, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like her very much. I'm beginning to think that the Earth has shifted and Sydney is now located in the Northern Hemisphere...

But there's always a silver lining and this week I'm grateful for...


1. Kites - the only thing I enjoy doing when its windy is flying a cheery, festive, friendly, uplifting kite.

2. Mums - you disappoint them and they love you anyway. Speedy Gonzales recovery, MELM. x

3. MooGoo - I've written about their products before, but this week I am even more grateful for MooGoo because The Badoo tipped half a bottle of the shampoo on her head on Thursday night and it was not a blinding, screaming disaster.


So, what's making you smile today? Grab my Grateful button from my sidebar (see -> over there... I've got a buttton!!), link back your own Grateful post below and then pop over to visit other bloggers who are spreading a little sunshine.  No hurry - we're all about laaaaazy Saturdays. Link is open all week. Happy day to you!

Our Fall Photos!

I made a last minute decision to have Fall photos done for Christmas cards. My sister has done some photography before and I wanted to put my new camera to use so off we went! Actually they were done at our house! These are a few of my favorites!

(You've probably seen this one on my header or new button but I think it's my absolute favorite- just so candid and casual. Roxy's a great walker when I have the leash but when Jimmy walks her somehow they always get tangled up! Haha)

There were two others I really liked but forgot to upload. So you just get these three for now :)

P.S.
I'm REALLY in the Christmas spirit this year already. Last year I wasn't- I don't think I ever got in the mood. But I've already turned on the station with Christmas music, I can't wait to decorate and put up a tree (I will NOT put our old tree up again it's a serious pain in the butt- but I WILL go buy a new one ;) I can't wait for Black Friday to do some serious shopping. Oh and if you stop by Starbucks on Black Friday and I think the day after you get "buy one get one free" from 6am-9am! Who doesn't love that?! 


OH and if you love Shutterfly check out a tale of three poags! Kaley is giving away a free 8x8 photo book coupon code! Low entries- ends tonight- hurry!
