Caricatures of Us

For today's Wordless Wednesday with Trish at My Little Drummer Boys, I thought I would show you two more prints I have had framed and put up in the house. They are caricatures of us drawn at my brother in-law's 40th birthday back in 2010.

 

Can you guess who we were dressed as?

(Samuel's the hardest to guess because his costume was half off at this stage.

Clue: His was blue and white)

My Week According to Instagram

 Another week glides by on Instagram and I'm linking up with the lovely Janet over at Redland City Living :)

My SIL brought over a large bucket of temptation in the form of Cookieman cookies...she warned that they would need to be consumed within 3 weeks! ha! No warning was needed...

 

Wentworth is a Fox channel revival of Prisoner. I hate seeing violence on TV but I'm strangely addicted to this show.

 

A gift from our neighbours for a small favour done. Lovely thought that went straight to my hips!

 

The afternoon skyline at footy training.

 

Oreo Truffles in white and dark chocolate made for my niece's Confirmation party.

 

Grass! So excited that the lawn finally went down. Makes the house look so much better. The yard is going to look amazing in Spring/Summer!

My SIL made this amazing cake for her daughter's Confirmation.

 

My lovely niece Jessica and I.

 

Mini macaroons, also made by my clever SIL, were given out as thank you gifts.

 

Jessica, looking lovely in her Confirmation dress, made by her sponsor.

 

Myself and one of my many spunky nephews, Jack. Such a cutie!



 



Hope you have all had a great week!

 

Flashback Friday - The Baby on the Falcon

After our recent addition to the family, old cars have been catching my eye a little more than usual. So for today's flashback, I've pulled out a couple of photos of myself as a baby sitting atop a white Falcon. Hmmmm...not sure who owned this car but two of my uncles can be seen in the top picture - presumably waiting to catch me if I tumbled off. I'm pretty close to the edge...I could have easily slid right off! Did it belong to one of them or my parents? I will have to find out. It's just past midnight at the moment so I don't think they would appreciate a call at this hour!

 

 

Look Mum, no hands!

After having cropped the above photo, I'm starting to wonder if that baby is even me. Maybe it was my sister? Then again, there would have been three of us running around if this were my sister. The adults in the photos seem pretty relaxed, unlike a parent with three children (trust me, I have some experience in this area). 

One thing is certain though - a good Bonds baby suit looks good in any era! Not sure the same can be said for 70's fashion...check out those bell bottoms. I'm sure my uncles' pants are flared as well. Can't say it is my favourite fashion era!

Do you have a favourite fashion era,

or an item of clothing that has stood the test of time?
