Spring Fever

Jack has been counting down the sleeps until spring.

Well it is no wonder really.

I have been bedridden for 4 days with the flu. No not a cold, the flu.

Well, still not feeling great last night I knew I was in for another sleepless night.

One look at Jack when he went to bed I knew we were in for trouble.

I underestimated.

At 1.30 am Jack arrived burning up.

By 3.30 Molly was in the bathroom crying that she couldn't get warm in her bed.

Shivering away

she also moved into our bed.

So here we have today, two sick little people.

Sully's table manners

Molly asked if she could feed Sully. She managed the task almost to completion, but seemed to forget one important step. To put the food on Sully's feeding mat. The temptation was all a bit too much, but Sully knows he is not allowed to eat food from the table. He sniffed and licked, but he sat and waited for someone to notice and move his meal to his own "table".

Can you do this???

This one's for Clyde. Look what we can teach your daughter :)

Cuddles with dad

At night when daddy gets home from work after showers and dinner, it is cuddle time.

Riwaka School Olympics

I am really struggling with this one. I am so proud of my boys!!! and want to show them off.

I have some great pictures to share, but feel some are best shared by Sabastian, and I do not want to steal his thunder.

The school today held an Olympics. What a blast. I will share the photos of Jack, and look out for Sabastian's photos on his blog. I may upload these also at a later date but want Sabastian to ahare first.

A play on words

Jack has really been doing well lately at school, and is learning to write little stories. He is so enthusiastic, and comes home each day practicing. He has amazed us with his ability to be able to make a clear short sentence and even spell words without any help.
Yesterday he sat down and wrote (all by himself and correctly) "I like". He then asked how to spell "this". I told him how to spell it, he wrote it and then excitedly said "that's my word of the day mum, that's my word of the day look S...H...I...T". He is probably still wondering why SAM and are cracked up laughing. The final sentence was I like this bug. Well done Jack.
(I seem to recall at a similar age your big brother spelt the exact same word on a post it note and stuck it to his bedroom door, much to my horror).

Snow time

Yes believe it or not, we got snow in our back yard last night. There is not much to show for it now, but I wish we could have gone out last night when it fell.
