The Birthday Boy

A has turned 3. He is still a Bob the Builder fan in a big way.

Bob the Builder birthday cake

Opening presents. He wasn't very happy with his packet of new Wiggles underpants.
Notice he has a pair on 'over' his nappy. We are getting there slowly.

J drew a great card for A with all of Bob's machines on it.

Happy smiles, and Bob in the background.

At the farm.

On the trampoline - a Christmas present.

J and A practice all their wrestling moves and it is better not to watch!

Christmas Day 2008

At last - the Christmas photos.

The Christmas Tree is up

Who is this man and what does he want with my fire engine?

Special magic reindeer food - Christmas Eve.

Opening the Santa Sac - Christmas morning, 6.45am - bless them!

Waiting to get started on the tree.

Happy faces everywhere.

But wait, there's more...

We love this opening present thing.

Plenty of mess and plenty of fun.

Homemade sausage rolls for the boys.

Thank you everyone, for all your gifts and cards. We had a fun day.

Bringing you up to date before the Christmas photos.

J and two of his mates performed a 'street dance' at school assembly - looking very cool.

Tae Kwon Do - and assistant - 'little grasshopper'

Showing the Tae Kwon Do moves - J is now a brown belt successfully passing his first grading.

A's Christmas play table. Currently filled with diggers and rice bubbles in the playroom.

Supporting Dad in Movemeber - except this one is white chocolate and came from a fund raising cupcake.

Here's the latest from Tassie

A chocolate moustache - supporting Dad with Movember.

Bringing you up to date

Here's what we have been up to lately

This is 'A' playing at the school fair.

'J' spent most of the time 'hanging-out'with his mates at the school fair, except when he wanted food.

Nan sent a cooking apron and a shopping bag.

While "A" didn't make these he certainly helped his brother eat them. We made these because a current favourite book is about Maisy Mouse making gingerbread for her friends.

We love being Bob The Builder and doing hammering and drilling around the house.

Fresh and clean from the bath but definately in need of a haircut.

'J' and two of his friends are doing a rap dance at school assembly so there is a fair bit of dancing going on.

This is our ornamental cherry tree. Not as covered in blooms as many of the trees in the area, but pretty all the same.

Taste Testing

'A' quite likes helping with the cooking, but it's the cleaning up he prefers.

I wonder if licking the beaters is a genetic trait.

This is the park in Launceston.

Lots of jumping, a visit to the monkeys and then back home.

Keeping Up To Date

An update to the goings on in our life.

A modern way of rounding up the cattle - or playing in the street.

In the park in Launceston. More of these photos to come.

Just messing.

This is what happens when you look away for just a moment. Fortunately it washed off.
