Sara's Funny Ways

We were dirving past Hungry Jacks and the following conversation took place

Sara: There's a farm back there!
Ingrid: Pardon?
Sara: There's a farm back there mummy!
Ingrid: Ummm... what do you mean?
Sara: Old McDonald had a farm .. Eee -I Oh!

I thought this was very funny!

I was also disturbed that she knew enough about fast food to know the name McDonald's and could recognise a fast food joint! So we are NOT going to the outing to McDonald's with play group this week! If the weather is nice we might go find some ducks to feed instead! I think that can wait and for the mean time let enjoy the simpler, more nutritious things!

Things to do before I die

Got a list of 101 things to do before I die in the mail (advertising)

To be honest a lot of them were dumb, but thought I'd write a list of the ones I would like to do one day having adjusted some of them to suit my desires!

1. Paint a self portrait (or even just take a class in painting)
2. Bury a Time capsule (might be something fun to do with the kids one day!)
3. Plant a tree and carve your name in it (a 25 year project)
4. Go on a holiday with no luggage (maybe when the kids are all grown up)
5. Have a night at the Opera
6. Learn another language (then visit the country)
7. Spend Christmas Day helping out
8. Spend a week at sea (will probably be sick, but what an experience)
9. Horse ride though the surf (good idea for a date Dave?)
   
10. Make pasta from scratch (another fun activity with the kids)
11. Swim with an animal
12. Sleep outside under the stars
13. Cook a meal made only from things I grew
14. Catch a fish (and then eat it that night)
15. Ride a giant rollercoaster
    
16. Build a tree house
17. Do a night time zoo excursion
18. Give a homeless person my lunch
19. Go for (a carry all your gear on your back) bush walk (on the Heysen Trail)
20. Build something that will outlast me
21. Research my family tree
22. Cut my own hair
23. Make a snowman and a snow angel
24. Watch the sun rise and set on the same day!
25. Wrap myself a present for my birthday (Oooooh I do like that idea - I like pressies!)
    
26. Play in a huge pile of Autumn leaves
27. Take evening classes with a friend (something arty sounds like fun!)
28. Write a letter now to my grandchildren
29. Read all the plays of Shakespeare
30. Do the 40 hour famine
31. Give blood (when I'm finally not pregnant or breast feeding)
32. Send a message in a bottle
33. Make a kite and fly it (another fun day with my cuties)

So that's only 33 out of 101, but I might add to this once I've given it some thought and mark them off as i do them.
I'd like to see the movie "Bucket list" for more inspiration sometime.

Little Ingrid

Here is a video me as a kid that we just got converted from an old super 8 reel!

Ahhh those were the days ... All Mum and Dad's attention to myself! (I think I must be about 18 months old)
