It’s freakishly hot in our part of the world at the moment, and set to get even hotter before the week is out. We don’t have air-conditioning or a swimming pool (I wish on both accounts) so four 40 degree days (that’s about 104 Fahrenheit) in a row isn’t going to be much fun with […]
Great Little Books.
The girls were given these wonderful little books for Christmas… The Midnight Adventures and Kelly, Dot and Esmerelda and Creepy Castle, both by John S Goodall. Both books have only pictures, no words. Both have wonderful illustrations and little pages that flip over to make one picture turn into something else before you turn the […]
On The Toy Shelf
In a burst of energy and random love for my children I refreshed the toy shelf the other day and this is what it looked like for the 2.7 seconds before everything was dragged out to play with! Because we have a small house without much storage and the kids mostly play in the lounge […]
What Can We Do Today?? – Build a Cubby!
Typical spring weather here of late – one day gorgeous and sunny and we can spend the whole day outside, the next wild, windy, cold and snowing on our mountain and we are stuck back inside again. To beat the borings we made a little cubby house yesterday… It was nothing flash, just a sheet […]
Pollywog Song!
Just popping this in here because I can while we are at my parents place… We LOVE this song and the girls have taken advantage of fast internet and listened to/watched it about 50 times since we got here!
Handmade tree blocks
The party starts in about an hour, but my baby is getting sicker and is asleep in my arms so I think we will be late – he needs to sleep more than we need to party. But since the party girl’s Mum won’t have a chance to read this before we get there I […]
What Can We Do Today? Go Prehistoric!
I need at least ten minutes of peace to get Muski to sleep during the day. That means I need ten minutes where the Twinadoes don’t sound like baby elephants on our wood floors, don’t scream at each other at the top of their lungs and don’t come whining to me for something ever 30 […]
What Can We Do Today?? – Draw Big!
The Twinadoes are sick. They are not sick enough to justify doing nothing but sitting on the couch watching DVDs all day, but they are too sick for kinder. So that means that they have been home all week, stuck inside, not well enough to even go to the library, wanting me to entertain them…so […]
