Funny coincidence

I thought these 2 photos were funny. Ewan and the animation have the same expression on their face and then we see the backs of their heads.

Wiggly Worms

Its been a really long time, since we went to Wiggly Worms. But for something different Alicia and I went. We asked along Aunty Leanne and Cameron, so everyone had a buddy. We were there for a couple of hours and in that time, the kids accomplished everything, including getting messy whilst eating a cup cake. Cameron even went to the very top of the play gym and then slid down the spiral slide. Very adventurous. I'm glad they had a good time and at least it wears them out. Alicia was very tired by the time she got home.

Hair bow? Bow tie?

I think Alicia is a little confused. But what does she care.

Chocolate cake mix Yum.

Now, I don't make cakes at all usually. But we were going to visit friends, and I thought a cake made, instead of a cake bought would be nice. Much to my disgust, we found out that Alicia likes to lick the bowl. Whenever I had made cakes in the past, I always asked Ewan if he would like a try and thankfully he always said, no, hence I had the bowl to myself. This is the first time ever, that Alicia has licked the bowl and by the looks of it, it won't be the last. Damn. I don't like to share, especially if I'm putting in all the effort. Its funny to see the change in expression from Alicia from, I don't think I'll like it to, why didn't I try this sooner. She couldn't lick it up fast enough.

Kicking the sock around

I haven't laughed so hard in ages. In my mind, it doesn't seem to be the right thing, to encourage your children to kick a sock around in the house, late at night. Not one thing in that sentence is very good. But there we were doing exactly what we shouldn't be. In a way, though, it reminds me, that I'm not taking life too seriously, like I was a couple of years ago. You can miss out on a lot of enjoyment with your kids when you restrict everything.

Brad had the foresight to copy it on the camera and Ewan was getting pretty good at it. Actually its Poppa we can blame for the recklessness, he started it. ha ha ha

Graduating from Auskick

Whilst mum and I were in Melbourne, Ewan had his last Auskick session. It was at this, that he was presented with a participation medal and a certificate. The kids also played a round of football which challenged the parents. The kids won 10 to 3, Ewan was more excited about winning the game against the parents than the medal in particular. Its probably another thing we will incorporate into his sporting year. I don't think he's ready to play football seriously with a club. Whether he will be ever, I doubt it. He prefers to ride his bike and do his taekwondo. But doing something for 9 weeks can be fun and at least it comes to an end.

The circus is in town

Having not been to the circus, myself, in quite a number of years, I thought it would be cool to go. I asked Ewan and Alicia and both said yes with puzzling looks on their faces. So I asked Ewan, "What do you think the circus is"? Ewans reply, "Its when monkeys get shot out of canons." So once I had finished my hysterical laughing, I was able to ask Alicia the same question. Her standard response to anything is "I don't know". So why would I expect anything different in this situation. She didn't disappoint.

Brad and I explained what the circus was, and what you normally could see there. They were very interested. We went with Cameron and Leanne and Cameron wasn't really too sure what to think. He was very quiet but as it turns out, he really did like the circus and didn't want to miss anything.

Its good to expose the kids to different things. They all enjoyed it, as did the adults

Slideshow of some beautiful photos

My Aunty Mary sent me an email with the slideshow attached. I have given you the link. They are some of the best photos I've seen and certainly makes me appreciate Mother Nature a little more.

Where did you go?

Where did I go, you ask? Well..my mummy and me went tripping off to Melbourne last weekend, specifically to see the musical 'Wicked' and unspecifically to shop. It was a really great weekend, and mum loved it aswell.

We started the day early, with a 7.05am plan trip. By the time we arrived in Melbourne, get to the hotel, dropped our bags, it was time for brunch. And besides who can shop properly on an empty stomach. Once feasting was over, we took off for the closest DFO and proceeded to quietly manoeuvred around the ample shopping. We eventually arrived back at the hotel at almost 3.30pm. A pretty good innings.

What shall we do now, rest of course, then shower, change, eat again and prepare to be dazzled by one of the best musicals we've seen ever. It was magical and spellbinding. And funnily enough you feel really bad for the Wicked Witch of the West, now you know the full story. If we could, we would have watched it another night. If it comes to town, we will be there.

We shopped the next day and lunched as usual and then before we boarded the plane, grabbed our Krispy Kremes and flew back to Adelaide.

A well deserved break for all. Except Brad of course, who got, 'Nothing done, all weekend.' Its not as easy as it looks is it honey.
