Chocolate Lasagne!!

On Tuesday (6th) night I got tagged in a post on Facebook that had the recipe and picture of a chocolate lasagne! It just made my day, looked so so so so good!!! I commented on it asking to make it for dessert the following night as I was up at Warkworth where the person that tagged me in lives and they said I could!! So I got the eldest, Toni, to help me (she's older than me) and after school we went out to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients and got back to start making it after the dinner prep had been done and dinner (roast sheep and veges) was put into the oven.

In the making:

This is how the chocolate lasagne turned out- finished half eaten product :) !!

It tasted very very yummy!

I got a text from one of the parents two nights later saying that the kids thought it was even better those couple of days later- always the way!!

Knee Update #2

Monday July 1st I went back down to see my knee surgeon in Auckland at the clinic where I got really good news from him- that being that healing and everything is on track, in fact, better than he expected!!

I am even going back to work in the school holidays, back to cleaning and doing the laundry at the local geriatric hospital.

I am back to walking relatively normal, going up stairs totally fine, just down can be a problem sometimes for some reason, but overall, I am only taking the pain killers when I need to and am generally a lot better knee wise.  Swelling and brusing is still there, but at a minimum.

If you have seen my Facebook, I did post a thank you status for those that have helped and waited etc at school :)

Katie and Em (pups)

On February 6th 2013, Allie gave birth to 6 puppies via c-section.  By the middle of April they had all gone to their new homes.  We have kept in contact with 2 of them who live only 10 minutes from us.

This couple brought 2 of the little girls that they have named Katie and Em, formerly Andee (named by a friend of mine) and Dolly (named by my Granddad).

We got to go out to see them when they were 12 weeks old, they are now 5 months old (as of July 6th) and last night we have been able to go out to their place and see them and their owners again, this time we went out to their house for dinner too.

Here is a picture that I managed to get on my iPad before switching to Mum's Galaxy Phone as it has better picture quality.

I will update more photos if I can when I get them from the phone to my laptop.

I am not to sure as to what puppy this is, as I can only tell by the colour of their collars- Katie is red, and Em is Blue.  

If you have me on Facebook there is a picture that got posted on my timeline by their "mother" last night, I will try and put it on here at a later date with the other photos.
