Giveaway Winner and Just Me Raving On (this could be long)........

IM BACK !
Well i wasnt really gone. Just pre-occupied. My Step sis and her kids have been visiting for the past 5 days so its been all systems Go here. AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
I havent seen my Step Sis and my niece (she is 5) for over 2 years and had never met my nephew (he is 16 months old now), so there was plenty of cuddles and kisses from Aunty Shann let me tell you :) I wish i had photos but they are mostly on mums camera and she hasnt had a chance to email me them yet. CMON MUM PULL YOUR FINGER OUT AND GET MOVIN' !!!!
Anyhoo we had so much fun while they were here, did some touristy stuff, went to a farm yesterday and fed the baby animals, had a tractor ride etc etc...good fun!!!! Me being the Farm lovin gal that i am i loved it! Yes girls underneath the pretty pink stuff i am a country girl who loves the smell of cow poo!!! LOL
The word of the day yesterday was 'MAGNIFICANT' and i am proud to say it came out of the mouth of none other than my Sam who exclaimed that the Roosters were MAGNIFICANT. Thats my boy!
Oh and drama of the day was our friends little girl swalowing her 2$ coin and starting to choke..ENTER Super Shann (yes thats me, i wear my pink cape on weekends mostly) and her quick thinking and grabs the kid, throws her over my lap and gives her a few good thumps on the back to cough it up! All was well in the end (albeit a tad scary for her and her poor mum) and that poor kid will never speak to me again for thumping her so hard :(
And so ends a day in the life of Super Shann.

Ok so moving on.....
THE GIVEAWAY HAS BEEN DRAWN.
Mr Sam was in no mood to have his picture taken today (grumpy and sad coz the visitors have gone back home)so i had to do it myself.
In they go !!!!!

You are a dead set super hero!!! I can't believe you had the quick wit to grab the little girl and do that. Some people just go all crazy when there is an emergency - but not Shannon. She is as calm as a cucumber! I bet though, if it was Sam you may not have been so calm. I know I wouldn't!! Glad you had a good time with your step-sis. Family are the best fun!
Chat soon
