Week in Review

What a week, apart from the two straight days in the kitchen, a house inspection, kindy runs and a very over budget grocery shop we also had a wedding, ohhh I love weddings.

 Something that is a fairly normal morning sight around here, while they still are little and want to cuddle with mum in the mornings I am not going to make any complaints, the time will come all too soon when they both want nothing to do with me :(
 Hungry Hippos, I am not sure if it is the lure of the "marble" or the sheer deafening noise but Hungry Hippos is his favourite.

 A wedding.  this is a very special wedding for me, that is my High school best friend, old flat mate, party partner in crime and Brother from another Mother getting married there, yep when I was a youngin my best friend was a boy.....This is something that he has always wanted and I am so happy for him and that I could be a part of his special day.

The groom and groomsman.  I have also known the groomsman for a ridiculous amount of time and his ex partner is my best friend, it was very special to be with some of the people that I shared some the best and craziest times of my life with, it does not happen enough these days.

Ohhh not every day that you get your hair did and get to wear stupidly high pretty pink shoes, that light does not do the colour justice.

 As the Wedding was on a Sunday we had Monday to ourselves and we decided to indulge the kids in a bit of Underwater World for the afternoon before we headed home.

Yeah, I did say kids right.....

Re purposed Jewellery.  This was a bracelet in a previous life and a pretty heinously ugly one at that, a few changes and I have myself a very cool necklace that I do LOVE.

Zach's attempt at helping me scrapbook, this is not the first time that he has "helped" me with a almost finished layout in fact this is the third one in less than a year.  Lucky I was able to disguise the damage here but it is still not what I wanted :(

 

Just because it is the greatest thing I have seen in forever, that dog totally looks like a Wookie, hahahaha.


I have been on a HUGE Sublime kick recently, I was not the biggest fan in High school but I certainly had my fair share of listening to them in my friends bedroom while we painted our nails, talked boys and how awesome it would be if our parents would let us go to the Vans Warped Tour.......Memories.

Anywho, for some reason the self titled album from Sublime has been really kicking me in the nostalgia pants and I have found a whole new level of respect and love for these crude Cali Punk Rockers.  Warning this song does have adult themes.


And just for the sheer awesomeness and justice that Megan Washington gives this song here is a cover of Santeria, she makes this song so beautiful.


Speaking of Covers this is one of my new favourites.  Katie Noonan was in one of my favourite bands from my High School days called George.  It was so different from anything that was out at the time and she had the most amazing voice in all honestly she was someone that I looked up to in those horrible hormone filled teen days.


Whoa, where have Kingswood been hiding?  The last five years have been a bit of a music wasteland for me hence the HUGE nostalgia vibe I have had for 90's rock and indie alternative and late 90's to mid 2000's house music.  This song is EPIC, epic I tell you.  I just want to rock out as soon as this song starts, please tell me that the days of generic manufactured pop and boring flavourless hipster music is over.....
