Cockatoos at Nanna's

There were a lot of Cockys at Nannas today when we arrived after swimming. The kids were fascinated. It doesn't take much to distract them.

Kids say the funniest things

This morning Ewan asked me to help him remove a part from his toy and when I did so, I hurt my hand. Obviously I grumbled a bit and Ewans quite sincerely said, "Did you break a nail'? What sort of comment is that. If you knew me, the only time I'm concerned with my nails, is when they get too long to type. I was reliving this story to his Nanna in the car and from the back seat he said, "Stop talking about me." Its proof that they do listen to everything you have to say, good and bad.

Mum and Dad have a new front Garden

Mum and dad have spent a lot of money doing up their front garden and it looks great now. As usual when dealing with contractors nothing goes to plan but they didn't have nearly as much trouble with the landscaper as they did with the fencer. The fencer was a pain in the butt. Typical stuff, over promised and under delivered, it does look good now and is very secure.

Kids like to dress up

We've had Alicia with my bras, now we have Ewan with my pjamas. It must be fun to put on over sized clothing. Personally I don't see the attraction. Ewan thought it hysterical.

The toaster is broken

Our toaster is broken. I'm not sure if Ewan actually broke it but he used it and then when I went to use it, it didn't work. He did supply an alternative.
