Box Rocket

 You'd think after living here for 3 years 

there wouldn't be any more boxes in the spare room...

Unfortunately after these 4 escaped

there are still some in there!

 Isn't Little Miss clever though?!

A rocket compete with tunnel to climb in.

Jumping...

We got a final Christmas gift after we got home again...

a trampoline!

Lots of fun to put together

and even more fun to play on!

Mr Happy: Thanks for the trampoline, Mummy...

I love you, Mummy, {mwah}

(blows a kiss across the room)

Mummy: awww, thanks! I love you too!

Mr Happy: the kiss isn't cause I love you...

it's because you hurt your head putting the trampoline together...

Only a minor head injury, of course,

those darn elasticised clips can hit hard!

No Santa photo...

I took the kids to have a photo with Santa this morning...

This kid didn't want to...

He wouldn't even let me take his photo back at home! 

A tree was planted...

... in front of our house.

The kids were fascinated.

Little Miss has been home sick this week

so it was nice to have something unusual happen. 

Visitors at Kindy...

 Thanks for coming to visit.

He was so excited that you did.

The littlest things...

...make him smile!

Today it was a new shirt that had appeared in his drawer ;)

At the park (with the new camera...)

Kids and photos...

I somehow imagined I could get all these excited cherubs 

to sit on the couch for a photo...

Silly Mummy!

(Taken last Sunday)

Magic tricks...

Our friend, Little Miss E, came to play last week after school. 

They decided to put on a magic show.

Various people disappeared and reappeared!

Then her Daddy showed up and taught them how to make a coin disappear too!

They were thrilled!

On a different note, let me blatantly use my blog to promote a cause:

Funding for Clinical Trials into Type1 Diabetes

You can sign an electronic petition here.

Where do they learn this?

And why do they have to practice it while I'm trying out my new camera?

Lego...

One of those toys that grows sometimes...

and is great for playing with visitors...

In the park...

Thanks for a lovely birthday party! Most of these were taken by Little Miss!

Friends...

I LOVE to see the kids playing as friends like this. It's so sweet. So far today there have been stickers, colouring, cubby houses, pet shops, and houses played together.
