Thank you

For all my beautiful birthday wishes, I had a wonderful day...
Spoilt by family and it continues tonight with a roast dinner at mums with my brother and his family and aunt & uncle...And another birthday cake..
woo hoo.

I haven't spent my voucher yet..can't decide what to buy..so many choices..

I also received hand cream from a good friend.. Seductive amber by Victoria secret... And boy does it smell seductive... Now to find someone to see if it is seductive...lol

And since we were at soccer yesterday Mad couldn't make me this for morning tea, so she did it this morning..





She had the macarons hidden in her room ..amazed she didn't have the midnight munchies..

Lee-Ann xx

Is today...yes i admit it is and happy to say I'm 45 and I'm still here to celebrate..
So far the day has been wonderful, kids made croissants with jam for my breakfast with a big m choc milk..don't do tea or coffee for breakfast..
They gave me a beautiful bunch of flowers, a cook book and a gift voucher to my favorite online cross stitch store...
Then it was onto soccer this morning, Mad came to which was unusual..she never comes... Should have been suspicious.. Lol
anyway Seb had 4 great shots at goal but missed...when the game was finished..they did win 3-2 and as he was walking off Mad says look at seb...
He was going to lift his top up when he scored, but did it walking off....




This was under his game top, he was so hot and sweaty wearing 2 tops and I had no idea..
He thought he would do it as a few international players have lifted their game tops to reveal another top underneath with something on it after scoring..so he thought he would too..with help from his dad they made it last night while I was working and he was trying to hide it today under his top...
I was so close to tears as I thought it was such a beautiful thing my son could do for me...
Now I also have told him when he plays for Man U he can do it then too..lol

on the freeways in Melbourne, over the Westgate & thru

the Burnley tunnel - no way could I shut my

eyes while driving thru it ..lol

Once again Helen outdid herself and

knew why I drove that far ..

such a fun afternoon for someone

very special.

Soccer is back...

For winter...

We have graduated from a 1/2 pitch to a full pitch.

We have an umpire dressed in black, rather than a coach or parent



Seb is #18

And a




Stretcher for injuries.....
which I hope will never be needed for any child.

First game we won 9-1 , Seb kicked 2 goals...

Arrghhhh

That should explain it....

charts I have ...decisions decisions ..



The Bunny has been ....

 Mads haul, along with a pr of Ghanda track pants

and top.

Sebs haul, with a Ghanda hoodie & T.

usually they are awake by 6.30 -7am,

leave a carrot & cup water out.

sign of the times they are getting older  :-(

they know about the "Easter Bunny" but he

will always come ..



sweet Treats #4 finished..

only 2 more to go and i'm done

until our GTG in August to do the

finishing touches..

So between the addicitve/obsessive family history

I have been doing until all hours of the morning,

kids on school holidays,
working...

eating way to much easter eggs..little ones..

and hot cross buns , i finished it

off last night while

watching this old movie

with the kids.

I have watched it so many times,

and still laugh.

It was the first time the kids watched it,

and Seb mentioned

"hey, there's a Simspons episode

like this..they copied the Simpsons.."

No not quite ..lol

off to work this afternoon and I tell

you , that if I was Lady Lee-Ann

there would be no work , but sitting

in the palour, drinking tea and doing

fancy work ...

Just call me ....

Lady Lee-Ann ....

I have been doing my family history

for quite a few years now, so far I have 2 First Fleet convicts,

and a very naughty female convict ...oh and a murderer, but everyone

else is normal ..so far ...lol

but last night I found that I am the

30th half great grand niece of

William the Conqueror ..

Yes I am royalty ...

his mother

Herleva "Arlette" Fitz Courtanneur Countess Mortaigne Duchess Normandy Falaise

who is my 31st Great Grandmother

was a mistress ..shhhh not telling that bit ..

to

Robert I "The Devil" "The Magnificent" V Duke of Normandy

Robert of Normandy paying court to Lady Herleva

they had a illegitimate child

William ...The King of England

she then went on to marry

Harlevin de "Burgo" "Chevalier" - Viscount of Conteville

and have more children and a daughter

Emma de Burgo of Normandy Lady De CONTEVILLE

who is my

30th Great Grandmother and half sister

to William ..

I think

Lady Lee-Ann is better than

Princess Lee-Ann ..

but I always knew had the "princess" in me ..

I know my daughter

Madeline does for sure ...lol



Finished #3 of 6..

3 more to go.. Buttons will be added later..
