A mish mash of pics

Bend-a-roo art (wool/yarn coated in waxy layer) sticks to walls, paper doors, removable, reuseable. My kinda thing.


Liam is having trouble digesting Ashley having separate playdates without him. He did not have trouble digesting the donut bribe to stop the tears.


The future Karoke Champ

Not sure if you remember the Shamu saga that occurred when my folks were here and we went to Seaworld (do you remember the pic where he was crying his eyes out for Shamu the whale?). Anyway that very day for some reason he did a complete 180 on us and took a distinct and passionate dislike to his Shamu toy. He didn't want to see him, he tried to give him away to Simon and then his cousins from Hong Kong until finally we hid him in a cupboard! Its become a bit of a family joke. 3 months on and Liam has decided he loves Shamu again but only during the day - at night he is discarded to the toy room! Interesting.

With age comes responsibility.
Do the work, reap the rewards.
Ash started a weekly chores routine, simple things, like making her bed, putting out the recycling waste, setting the table etc
She was very excited and after her first week was ready to go to Build-a-Bear and buy a new outfit for her teddy.
Lesson Two - 75 cents doesn't get you very far.
