It just fell off!

I picked Jack up after work today, and he said to me, "Dad's hair fell off. He didn't have a haircut it just fell off."
Obviously Molly doesn't mind, as she sat patiently brushing the knots out of dads hair this evening.

Macgyver

Jack is forever collecting anything that he might possibly be able to create something with. Usually fishing or boat related!
For Christmas Grandma Lyn (probably who he got the hoarding and creating from), gave jack a box of goodies. He has nails, a hammer, floats,paper clips, wire, blue tack etc. to be able to let his immagination run wild.
Every day Jack goes out onto the deck and spend hours creating things. Who said you need TV. Even the simplest trinket will do the trick when it comes to Jack's immagination.
Sabastian asked me why Jack can't walk home from the bus stop by himself. Well after escorting him home one afternoon, we had to stop on numerous occasions while he collected snail shells, stones......He probably wouldn't make it home until dinner.

Heat Exhaustion

OK. So the family have not been well. But boy has it been hot here. This seems to be the way they get through the hot days and have recovered from nasty viruses. (I don't know what Sully's excuse is).

The elephant man

Yes this is the lovely nickname given by Marc to Sabastian, who is recovering in Nelson Hospital with pneumonia.
He is currently on oxygen, IV antibiotics, ventolin, nebulisers and physiotherapy.
Marc has kindly offered to stay with Sabastian, which I welcomed considering out of the 6 of us, I am the only one to so far avoid this virus.
Marc is also unwell so the excessive coughing is now confined to the hospital and not my bedroom.
They have a private room, TV, DVD in the room, and ensuite. Marc has a parent room he can use with kitchen, TV, Shower, Toilet and laundry.(considering Sam is the only kid on the ward, not a bad deal). Dinner tonight is roast lamb. Who got the better deal??
While Sabastian is still quite flat and not much appetite, he got his sense of humour back today (which has been missing), when he turned off the light on his mother when she went into the ensuite to use the bathroom (light swtich on the outside). It was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing. He had the silliest grin on his face when I came out.
Hope your back to your normal self soon Sam.

It's taking so long...

This is Molly's favourite saying at the moment. How many sleeps until my birthday? 25 Molly "but it's taking so long"
We arrived at school for Molly's first school visit. She will go every Wednesday for the morning until her birthday (4 visits in total). Well I wanted to take a photo of her in front of the school before class, and we got the above reaction.
"But I want to see Miss Strong "(teacher).
After you have your photo taken Molly
"But it's taking so long.
The next photo is the forced result after informing Molly she could't go to class until she smiled for a photo. Rock on birthday I say!!
