We hit the beach!
I woke up this morning and it was such a beautiful day, that I thought it might be great to go to the beach with the boys, take a walk, collect some shells and maybe even build a sandcastle. We had a great time and it was nice to just do something out of the ordinary on the spur of the moment. Of course I took the camera along so that I could share with you a little piece of heaven which is practically on my doorstep.
After the beach I took the boys to a bakery for breakfast. What a great start to the day. We love school holidays.

Birthday Boy!
The 30th of December was my eldest son James' birthday. Yes so close to Christmas, that wasn't great timing, but he did insist on arriving in this world two weeks early, so what can you do?? They come when they come.
Anyhow, this year we did not do a party, he went out for the day for a boy's day out with his dad and a couple of friends. Whilst he was out I decided that it would be nice to do a last minute surprise dinner for him, so Joshua and I decided that we would set the table with skulls (he is into all that kooky stuff) We googled some skull pictures and made them into placemats and laminated them, and I put some red led lights on the table and put his skeleton toy in the middle of the table. I also made a great marble vanilla/choc cake and decorated it with skull candles that I found at the local supermarket. We ate one of James' favourite meals, schnitzel and curly fries (like they have at the hogs breath cafe), and we ate by candlelight. He loved it. He said it was one of the best birthdays ever. It just goes to show that it's not all about the bells and whistles, just about good food, good company surrounded by people who love you.
Happy Birthday James, we love you xx

Hey there!
Hey all you fellow bloggers out there. I am a blogging virgin, this is my very first time so go easy on me. I don't even know if anyone will even read this, but it's still fun to do.
First I will introduce myself, my name is Ann but I am otherwise known as buzzee or buzzee bee, I have a wonderful partner called Peter, otherwise known as the bear and two beautiful boys, James- 10 and Joshua - 3. I am the queen bee in this little hive ( and I do mean little) but more about that subject a little later.
Here is the latest photo that I have taken of the two little bees. This was taken just before christmas and by the way I hope you all had a great christmas and may 2011 be all that you dream and more.
Keep smiling!! Catch you later, buzzee
