It is always like this .

So what did you boys get up to yesterday?

Well first we were having a going out adventure but Jodie got all frizzled and said we have to have a in the garden adventure.

Toby hided in a big pot and we counted him.There were spiders in there but they didn't bite him.

We got on the trampoline and we jumped but Jodie came out and told us we had to be just one person on the trampoline because a boy in the computer called Climber got his tooth smashed out on someones head and he bleeded all over the trampoline but was very brave.

We played lots of games and we got good at basketball.

except when Toby kicked it harder

cause he made it go higher onto the roof

but it didn't matter cause Fletcher is allowed on roofs and he went to get it.

and then Jodie came out and said two swear words and talked funny like Darth Vader and said GET..................OFF.......................THE..................ROOF.................CAREFULLY .............and got the big ladder and Fletcher climbed down.

But Fletcher said to Jodie that he is allowed on roofs and Jodie said "Pigs Bum" which is a little bit of swearing but not really bad. Then Jodie said she didn't want to come into the garden again and we had to play adventures that weren't dangerous and could we maybe see who was the best at basketball. If we played for ten minutes then she would come and watch.

So we played lots of basketball for a long time and then Oliver threw the ball onto Fletcher's face which hurt a lot

and Fletcher got really cross even though it was not an on purpose throw.

and he wouldn't talk to Oliver and he pushed him and then he cried loud

and Jodie came out and she looked at his face and said it was OK and told us it was an accident and fixed it all up

She said it was time to come inside and have some quiet time. She said we could watch a DVDV and then she made popcorn and said we could only put it in our mouths and not up our nose or in our ears or up our trousers and we giggled

so then we watched a dancing show and eated it all and spilt just a little bit but we eated those bits too.

presents and planning

I was lucky enough to win a 100th post giveaway from Amy of My Zoe Bug recently. This is the third 100th post I have won. I think I might have to stop entering.....


She sent me a lovely package. The apple bookmark is already in use and the watermelon tape is earmarked for something as well.

The strap with the rubber ring had me puzzled for a while - the ring is stretchy and you can put it over the neck of your water bottle to carry it when you go out power-walking (ahem).
The card is just awesome , full of little sewing notions and perfect for a crafter. I have tucked it onto my inspiration board.
Thank you Amy, It was a great present to receive. Pop over and check out the cute little paper bags Amy has made.

Now the boys and I are off on a promised "adventure". If I am not back later today could you have a whip around and come up with the bail money for me.

It always ends in tears.

Jodie !!! Jodie......

Come here.....................Jodie??? Is she coming yet? Come and see us in the bath. What is she doing?

Jodie!!! Hurry up. Bring your digit camera. ..............Yes we are all cleaned now and the texta is nearly gone except on Fletcher's knees cause he used black and it kinda went in his knee wrinkles but it's OK except I have green still in my ear but it's just a little bit.

Hey Jodie , Do you want to see our show? It's really good. There is a chair for you to watch on. We are having a acrobat show ...Jodie, yes we are not being silly and getting washed.

Jodie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's play Pirates!!!

When the call went out this morning for some dress-ups to play pirates, I thought Great!

I love to play Pirates.....the deserted island, the frocks, the moonlight, the red wine , Mr Depp.

Ooops ! Wrong Pirate game Jodie!!!!

This one involved a trip to the local park to see the cannons.

The boys had a great (noisy ) time and this is my attempt at "just one nice photo please boys..with no silly faces" and what do I get? Fletcher doing bunny ears.

Apparently this pirate game involves Fletcher lurking in the bushes,

Toby hiding behind rocks

and Oliver picking flowers for the girl pirates "'cause if you give flowers to the girl pirates they think you love them and then after that when you make them be in love to you then you can have all their gold and money"
