Aiden's new haircut

So Aiden finally allowed me to cut his hair today.
I sat him in a bar stool and it was the perfect height, but a swivel seat. It was quite hilarious chasing the chair in circles while cutting but Aiden enjoyed himself.
It will take a bit of getting used to his new look since his hair has been long for nearly 2 years now.

He's handsome no matter how he wears his there though ♥

Baking

So the first batch of cupcakes I did, I wanted to make them bright pink so used beetroot. They looked great but tasted..well.. bettrooty LOL
The kids weren't too thrilled.



So a few days later I had to bake something for Skye's class as they were having a market day. I went with just vanilla this time and made 20. The kids ate 5 that night and the next day at the market they sold out in 5 minutes LOL the kids were bummed they missed out at school.
Ah well, it's an easy recipe so I'll just make some more.
I went with an egg free recipe incase someone at the school had an egg allergy.. but it still had all the other stuff...wheat, gluten, sugar and dairy..ah well.
I used banana as the egg alternative and they tasted great, but a slightly stickier heavier texture.

Messing about

I found this funny site that you upload photo's on and mess with them.
I've had so much fun with it and I thought I would share my work rofl

So guess which one looks most like me haha














This is one I did of Breeze




Isn't the resemblance uncanny!!! LOL

Dolly (aka Ollie)

Aiden is still calling Ollie Dolly after 8 months and it's finally rubbed off on me.
So here is a nice photo I took of DOLLY the other day.





and one of Dolly, me and Aiden

100% on an assignment

I can't believe I actually got 100% for developmental psychology.
I was joking when I said I was aiming for 100% after I got 92% for the previous one, so nearly fell off my chair when it actually happened.

I only got 70% for the other module I was doing though. I'm not sure if the teacher was a hard arse, or if I didn't apply myself as much as I did for dv psych. Anyway, atleast I got a credit.. I know of a few people who have had to re submit.

Apparently no-one has EVER gotten 100% in the whole college other than me, so my crappy 70% should ignored and my focus should be staying on my achievement of the highest mark in ACAP history LOL

My camera is fixed!!!

My camera miraculously fixed itself so I have lots of photos to share.
Aiden went to the Wiggles concert last Wednesday. I hate driving in the city and parking is a nightmare. I arrived and hour an a half early to get a spot, but still drove around for half an hour trying to find one.
I was in tears worried he would miss out, but just as soon as the water works started, someone pulled out of a spot.

He was in absolute awe over the Wiggles being on stage.. so much so that he couldn't even bring himself to dance like the rest of the kids. He just stood and stared at the stage and occasionally looked back at me with a smile and pointed at the stage to show me Dorothy, Henry and Captain Feathersword.

After the show we went to the stall they had set up and I promised him he could have 1 piece of memorabilia. He asked for a balloon, but when they told me the price ($20) I encouraged him to get something he could keep rather than something that would deflate or pop.

He got a Sam (the yellow Wiggle) plush toy for $16 and a pair of Wags the dog ears for $6. Much better value I think haha

When we got home he played with his new Wiggles toys and then fell asleep on the couch at 4pm and stayed asleep till 7am the next morning.




The next day he decided to practice playing some tunes in his guitar. Of course it was Wiggles all the way LOL

Broken camera and good news on the study front

I am so bummed that my camera has broken. It's a really good quality one also, so I am still deciding on replacing it with a cheaper one or having it repaired. I will need to do something soon though because I keep missing out on capturing so many precious moments.

On to my good news!!!
I got the results of one of my assignments the other day and was stunned to see a score of 92%.
The course is so difficult and intense so I was aiming just to at least pass each module and get credits or distinctions for a confidence or ego boost, but I never expected a High Distinction. Not only was it a HD but it was almost a perfect score!!!
If only I didn't make those 3 little typo's. Ah well.. I don't want to aim for perfect scores now or else I will be setting myself up to either fail, or loosing sight of the main objective of doing the degree in the first place, which is to learn and to get a certificate which allows me to be a practicing therapist.
If I focus too much on my actual mark it will turn into silly game over achievement.
Besides, I am still doubting my abilities... perhaps the educator was just an easy marker.. maybe I was just knowledgeable in that particular subject..
All I know is that since receiving that score, I have re worded my next assignment 50 times, stared at it for several hours looking for silly insignificant typo's in the hope that I can get 1 extra mark.. arghhh... why can't I just be satisfied with passes? The aim for perfect scores is driving me bonkers!!!
