Happy Easter....

Would he not make the cutest little Easter Bunny??? With his hand made ears that he made at Kindy, that he insisted on wearing to the shopping centre and hopped along like he really was the Easter Bunny!

Very Cute.

Be back soon with all the details of how we spent Easter 2011 :-)

nap time and kindy update

I would love to know what goes on in Luc's mind sometimes. Like WHY he would find it neccessary to take all the cushions and pillows off the couch and then drag his and Sophie's blankets into the lounge room only to climb on top of the mountain of cushions and fall asleep!!! Of course when you look as cute as this when you are asleep it is hard for this mummy to get annoyed. Don't you just love how when he sleeps he ALWAYS joins his hands together and tucks them under his head!!!

 Luc is enjoying kindergarten so far. He loves his teachers and they are loving him. Even saying how good, helpful, caring and well behaved he is!!! ( I still think they have got their kids mixed up but I'm running with it for now!!) He loves playing with his friend Niall!!! There are lots of lovely kids in his class but he only wants to play with Niall, (he has told me, the other kids are "all a bit too happy and remind him of Patrick from Spongebob!!!" so he follows Niall around and sits with him (almost on top of him!) and does whatever Niall is doing. I am thinking Luc is quite smart as Niall is actually double the size of Luc, I think Luc feels quite "safe" with Niall. I am not looking forward to the day when Niall is absent from kindy, Luc will be lost!! Kindy is only every Tuesday and Thursday and on Wednesday Luc does gymnastics. The coaches are amazed at how fast and strong he is....not us, just like Daddy he is born to climb!!

Interviewing Sophie

I interviewed Sophie this week, it was quite funny listening to her responses!  For almost every question she would first answer with..."ooh, thats  a hard one"...then I would write down whatever she said after that.  When I asked her, "who was the coolest person on Earth" she straight away said...Mummy!!!  I said, how come you didn't say..."ooh that's a hard one" and she said, because that one was easy!!! I liked that a lot :-)

Room Service....

My friend Ella had a sleep over last Friday night and in the morning we made cubbies in the garage, we were so busy playing that we forgot we hadn't eaten breakfast. WE asked Mummy if we could eat breakfast in our "garage cubby" and she made us the best breaky ever....she even put a flower on our tray and some chocolate hearts. Ella ordered bacon and eggs and Luc and I had cheerios and toast and bacon...it was so much fun. We especially liked our strawberry garnish on our juice as well!!! I told Mummy it was cool, just like as if it were "Kids day", you know like Mothers Day when you get breakfast in bed!!! Then I remembered that Mummy doesn't actually get breakfast in bed even on Mothers Day and Mummy also pointed out that it is more like "Kids day" everyday.

When we finished we packed up the tray and rang a bell for Mummy to collect it......she said her shift was over and the kitchen is now closed and we had to clean up ourselves and do the dishes!!!

cubby house at Rottnest....

When we were at Rottnest for our holiday, Luc and I became friendly with 2 girls that were staying across from us.  We had peeked through the curtains and watched them playing from afar for about 4 days (we are a little shy) before they finally came over to see if we wanted to play with them.  Actually they came to borrow a ball....but anyway THEN they asked us to play.  They were so much fun, Ruby was 9 years old  (almost 10) and Poppy was 12 and very handy for me, their Daddy was a Doctor...in fact he was Dr Phil and I stubbed my toe badly and he fixed it all up....very professional like!!!   (he even soaked it in antiseptic first....!)

Luc and I just loved playing with Ruby and Poppy and they also had 3 boys come to vist them and play as well...hmm, they were ok, kind of annoying, a bit like Luc sometimes....

 Their daddy said they could make a cubby in the trees outside using the blankets.  It was was so much fun...we called it "Candy Club House" and when we were allowed to go to the  General Store we would buy lollies and go back and share them in our Candy Club House.  Boys riding by on bikes kept coming to talk to Poppy, they were annoying, I dont know why they kept coming over to ask her name about 20 times......Even daddy was interested in them, kept asking what they want and what are they doing and staring at them....Poppy kept telling them her name was "Michael Jackson" and we would all laugh.....I laughed cos they laughed and so did Luc, even though its not really THAT funny!

One night we played in our cubby till 9.30pm before we had to go to bed BUT guess what, Poppy and Ruby were allowed to sleep in there all night!!!!  Wow, they are soooo brave.  I would be worried about quokkas nibbling on my toes!

They slept in there for 2 nights....so brave..

It was fun making new friends on holiday and since we have been home we email each other.....
