Home Again

The Mountain Again

Tom sent Mum this picture of Kate, Bradley and Grandad before they headed up the mountain. Kate is still talking about how wonderful her adventure to Wilkies Pools was.

Sammy

This is Sam and his friends enjoying breakfast in our lovely new kitchen.

Best Friends.

One day in the holidays we blew up the airbed. Kate and Sam were supposed to be having turns sleeping in it for a wee indoors camping adventure, however this is how they were found when Mum and Dad went to bed that night. They both slept really well too and were allowed to sleep in it together again the next night.

Lachie
Lachie's favourite things are his "Woo woo", "wrap wrap", plasters and all things Beatrix Potter. Woo woo, which is the supposedly the sound a dog makes, is a huge stuffed dog. He is very important and even had to be squashed into a bag for our christmas holiday up North.
Wrap wrap is the wrap Lachie was wrapped in as a baby, and luckily folds into a tiny, very transportable and washable bundle.
The best thing to give Lachie for a wee treat is two plasters. Woo woo is covered in them and Lachie often has them on his legs just because he especially enjoys putting them on all by himself.
Here he is cuddled up to the plastered Woo woo and with a wiggles plaster on his head, which unusually, was there for a genuine fall.
Lachie loved going to Kate's ballet concert at the end of last year. It was based on the tales of Beatrix Potter and sInce then he has watched the recording of this concert on dvd over and over again. He particularly loves any Beatrix Potter Books and takes them to bed every night. His favourite characters are "Peter hop hop" (Peter Rabbit), "Jermy flog" (Mr Jeremy Fisher), "Mima Pubble Ducky" (Jemime Puddle Duck), "Tom Titten" (Tom Kitten) and "Norty mice" (the tale of the two bad mice).

Mel, a friend of ours, is top of the pops. She has now given Lachie some Beatrix Potter pictures, which we put around his bed and some Beatrix Potter books to borrow too. They are a favourite. We can hear Lachie talking to the pictures and reading his "hop hop" books through his monitor at night. He is also wearing a pair of wiggles jammies from Mel's family in the picture above. So he is very spoilt. Thank you to the Lemin family.

Sunshine
We get very excited when there is sunshine at our place. We try to make the most of it, so one sunny day after school we headed to Queens park for a bike ride and a play.

On the way out Sam decided to stop for a rest on the park bench.
He still loves his Piping Hot hat Tom, though it has been renamed "Piping rain" due to the weather at kindy lately.
And whatever Sam does, Lachie will do too!

Our Cheeky Monkey
This is our big 2 year old boy modelling his lovely new tractor jersey.
