Feb 11th - Jay's Place

This morning we went to a Jay's Place concert.
For those that don't know, Jay Laga'aia is a children's entertainer. We know him from play school and his DVD's. Ben and Ethan were very excited to learn that they were coming to his concert this morning.
This you tube clip is the sort of songs Jay does
Waiting to go in, with our tickets

Inside. Waiting excitedly

Waiting after the show to meet Jay

Signed CD

And ticket.

It was a great show! Thanks Jay!
And thanks for those who've shown concern about Tracie's ankles. She is hobbling a bit better today, but still sore.

Feb 10th - down the stairs

Last night, just as we were about to get into bed, Tracie decided she needed her earphones from her bag. She went downstairs in the dark and fell down the bottom 2 steps. She sprained both of her ankles :(
She went to the (useless) doctor today who said, you're walking on them, so it's not broken. Need a sick leave certificate??
The doctor didn't even touch her ankles!
Anyway, she is taking it easy and resting as much as she can.

Feb 9th – Feeding the ducks at the park

 

It hasn’t rained for 2 days!!! Woooohoooo.

We went to the park, and I’ve never seen the ducks so hungry!

Feb 8th – Mini Masterchef

Ben still loves helping to cook dinner. I am beginning to think that he’s just cleverer that I first thought. You see, the chef gets to taste test along the way, and hungry boys love to taste test. Hahaha

Spaghetti and meatballs – Yummmm!

Feb 7th - Coffee

I LOVE my morning coffee!

Enough said….

Feb 6th - Lizards

We still get a lot of lizards in our back yard. The boys love looking at them

Feb 5th – Nintendo Wii

We have owned a Nintendo Wii for years. We bought it when they first came out. We haven’t played it for AGES! It’s been sitting in our DVD cabinet gathering dust. We got it out, and after some minor repairs (removing 10cents from the disc drive) we were lucky enough to discover it still works! The boys were instantly attached. They played Mario Carts and had a great time

They enjoyed it so much the first day, they asked for it constantly the next day. Unfortunately they are not old enough to be able to play it properly. They got SUPER frustrated with it, had a massive meltdown and the Wii has been put in the cupboard until they are older!

Feb 4th – Grandma visits

I missed Feb 3rd, oops!

Grandma came up, and as usual, bought some presents for the boys! It was only about 22C (68F) and cloudy. but the boys braved the cold pool to play with their new toys.

They are little battery powered penguins that swim through the water. A big hit!

Ben, jumping off the front porch.

Ethan’s turn

Ben again.

Feb 2nd - bath time

Jan 30th and 31st – New iPhone 4S

Tracie and I got new iPhones. We got the iPhone 4S. We are both happy with it. It has an 8MP camera. Here are a few of my 4S photos. These pictures, like all the photos I upload have been shrunk for uploading.

Jan 27th - Dora

We found a Dora doll up in the cupboard. It’s a new favourite.

Ben and Ethan have been tired lately. It’s hard to get them to nap, go to bed before 7pm or wake up later than 6am.

Life’s busy when you’re 3!
