We can blame this one on YO GABBA GABBA (a particularly strange children’s television program on ABC Kids). Ben had been eating his breakfast and began to play with his spoon – breathing on it and placing it on his nose. I asked him what he was trying to do and his response was ‘Cool tricks, cool tricks….’ He had just watched someone do the same trick on Yo Gabba Gabba. He thought he was so clever, especially when I tried and I couldn’t do it!!
Solo Journey
While on holiday Ben had a little adventure that he seemed to enjoy but sent his mother and father into a slight state of panic. I was on the mobile and Ben and Andrew were choosing a bicycle to go for a morning ride. The bikes were parked next to the resort lift. Ben being fascinated with all things that have buttons decided to press the lift button, jump in the lift and shut the door. Andrew began laughing which caught my attention and I turned and scanned for Ben. I didn’t need any explanation! I ran down and Andrew ran up. I found our little man in the basement pressing the lift buttons calling for his MMUUUUMMM! I scooped him up and gave him a hug. LITTLE RASCAL!!
Reading to Humpty xo
It is no secret that I love children’s books. Anyone that has seen our book cases knows that we have our own library. While Ben has always loved story time more recently he has taken to reading the books himself and to others. Andrew informed me that he was reading his favourite book Busy Garage by Rebecca Finn to his friend Humpty Dumpty this morning. Very Cute!! Here are a few of his favourites.
New home
After much deliberation, we made an offer on a new home yesterday. Very exciting but also a little nerve racking.
Special Memories
We are back again at Peppers Salt Village for a week of sunshine. Once again the weather has not disappointed. This visit we have taken more of a relaxed approach not filling our days with site seeing but lazing by the pool, walks on the beach and evening trips for icecream. And to my surprise I have struggled with not organising and planning out every minute. I have had to make an effort to just go with the flow……. something that does not come naturally for me. Andrew has enjoyed napping on the lounge and Ben has enjoyed the evening trips for icecream He is in LOVE with cookies and cream icecream. He eats his own so quickly he moves on to sharing Mummy’s! Al, Claire and Hugo popped in for a visit today. We are truely blessed to have such wonderful family. I haven’t taken many picture yet this trip only a few to capture some special memories.
EDI Rec Club Picnic
This years annual picnic event for the EDI Recreation Club was held at Wet n Wild again. As is customary, children receive a gift from Santa. Ben was lucky to receive a little Bob the Builder, with a working flashlight. Well what a treat, the little light kept him busy for hours. A great day out supported by the Rec Club. Thanks for the gift and also the complimentary drinks, chips, lollies and icecreams.

What makes the day even more special is sharing it with family and friends. This year Al, Claire and Hugo, Bree, Chris, Joseph and Baby Tom and Clive, Cherie, Caleb, Joel and Benny, joined us for the special day. The wave pool was the biggest hit for the little ones but Ben and Joseph also enjoyed chilling in Calypso Bay. Bree took a short video of the boys. I will post it soon.
