Funny Things My Kids Have Said This Week

2009-02-15T19:16:00.002+10:30

Tarlea just now, being attacked by Claire:

"Mum shes doing RSPCA on me" meaning CPR!

Will had show and tell on thursday and had to talk about his favourite planets which were

"Satan and Mars" obviously Saturn and Mars.

Claire in the car after we told her the first one asleep would get a prize :) said:

"and the last one will be the bacon and eggs?" meaning rotten egg.

Owen still too cute for words yet. Everything he says is so sweet.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

2008-12-18T17:34:00.002+10:30

Yesterday we went to the Magic Cave which has been our tradition for years now. We waited in line for almost two hours to see Father Christmas. My Mum who always comes with us helped me entertain the children while we waited.

Although Claire is not smiling she is not crying (for the first time). I took her for a practise visit to Santa a week earlier and when she saw Owen was not scared it gave her courage. Owen was so excited to see Father Christmas. Tarlea and Will were keen to let him know what they wanted for Christmas. They also have been telling me what they want to make Santa for Christmas to leave out on Christmas Eve for him. So they know its all about giving, but recieving isnt bad either :)

The red dresses are the ones I resized (from size 12s) for Sam & Rebeccas wedding.

Owen not just crawling now!

2008-05-16T13:15:00.002+09:30

Owen has decided he wants to be up with the big kids and start walking early. He is always pulling himself up and just adores playing with his siblings. He is now almost 8 months old. And looks like he may be our fastest at learning to walk. He already sounds like he says Mum. I'm not 100% sure he can but John is pretty sure that he does it on purpose. Any way he is growing up too fast and is totally gorgeous!

It was Dads birthday on the 28th of April. We went to the Buffalo resturant on the friday night. Then on Monday we took up a cake and went to the park. The kids didnt want to leave. Even after a solid hour of playing and the rain starting to come I still had to drag them into the car.

Alices Wonderland

2008-05-16T12:52:00.003+09:30

In the school holidays we went to Carrick Hill for a production of "Alice's Wonderland". This was a special play for children.

During the play we walk a trail around some of the gardens to the Mad Hatters Tea Party, White Rabbits house, learnt the Lobster dance and more.

The kids even played croquet with the Queen using flamingos and hedgehogs. We a great time.
