Now he is 5 and a half (yep he insists you say the half) and getting ready for his first year of school next week.
Today we went shopping for school stuff.....and my boy wanted new shoes for 'just around mum'
He wanted thongs (ok now to us in Aussie land, thongs go on your feet, not ya backside, ok)
So, gone are the sweet,little brown loafers....
Today he chose these....scary skulls and flames...geez...
My boy is growing up. BUT he still loves holding his mummys hand and swinging it when we are out and he still loves to snuggle on my lap at night time when we read a story. So to me he's still my little boy...i think he always will be.
He also informed me today In a very matter of fact voice mind you) that when he is big and has a wife, he is getting Bunk Beds and she can sleep on the bottom one or hit the road. ** LOL ** You gotta love how their minds work hey.
So i have my boy home with me for 5 more days.....yes im in serious denial about the whole school thing.....maybe it will get cancelled????
One can live and hope huh?
This is the handsome face im gonna miss every day.....it will be weird being home by myself....counting down till 2;30pm when i can get a cuddle :)
SO i imagine with Sam at school i will be painting up a storm at home...hmmm...or eating cookies and watchin' Ally McBeal and McLeods Daughters re-runs on Foxtel..LOL.
Maybe i can combine them all hey?
Before i go...heres a few finished projects for the week. They are available on my Website now.
Ok im off now to kiss the kid :)
See you all soon and my SINCERE apologies for being sooooo darn slack and not visiting you all. I Promise im on my way (especially to you Lori honey).
Luv and Pink Kisses,
Shann xxx

Now, some questions, as usual..
Did you have someone build your website?was it very expensive? Is it difficult to make your own? i am setting up a blog shop at..

I am having the best time making my Banner and Avatars, it's sooo much fun, and NO MESS!
Let me know if you need anything made, it will be my gift to you, for all your advice.

You know Shannon it doesn't matter how big they get, they are still our babies. I have to tilt my head back to look 2 of my babies in the eyes. They got so tall!! Love em.

Whew Shannon, you had my bum so scared????? I have so missed my laughs from you!!! Hang in there, mums like us are not forgotten! Look at me, I still have a 20 and a 23 year old boys home and don't mind a bit! Heck I may even have my 25 year old home by the end of summer and won't complain a bit!!!! Love,Lori
Hi Shannon, Oh my~~a your post brought back a ton of memories of when my son went off to school. I still have some of his little shoes. Enjoy every minute with him and then enjoy all his excitement of his school adventures.
Your new treasures are beautiful. Love your header too.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Shannon,
I remember how sad I was when my youngest went off to school. I cried. Maybe being busy will make the day go fast. Sweet post.............
Oh NOOOO say it isn't so!
Ok lets protest.... kids can not go to school until they are sassy teenagers and we are ready to get them out of the house for a few hours everyday!
I am gonna miss Sam too!
<< Insert sad face
Give him hugz from me!
XOXO
Dolly
You'll be right! In no time it'll be School Holidays, or teacher's day off or whatever.
I think I was more upset when my two started High School
Hope it's not too hot for you both tomorrow.
Be brave! Let us know how he went won't you Shann
Cooler here today ` thank goodness
xo xo
Shannon, I've not been to your blog in a while. Sorry. It's lovely!
Your sweet Sam sure is getting big..he's adorable! They do grow up so fast. My precious Grandson Sam is 8.
Hope all's well with you and your Mum too. Tell her I said hello.
Blessings ~Mary~ :-}
