While I was packing I came accross some empty boxes. Andrew and Ben had the best time making a petrol pump. Today, two days later Ben is still draging it around with him. Junk makes the best toys.

Helping??
We recently spruced up the house and yard a little before we put it on the market. We are very lucky that it sold before we had to do any advertising but none the less it looked lovely all tidyed and polished. I will post again when everything goes unconditional (bit nervous about the whole process). Of course Ben had to assist with the process. Here he is helping Dad in the garden and mum with the interior photos… got to love him!
Construction Site – Ipswich Children’s Gallery
The Ipswich Art Gallery’s current children’s exhibition comes straight from Ben’s dreams. It is all about construction, hard hats and remote controls! You can design and build your dream cubby, dress up in construction worker safety clothes and drive the radio-controlled construction machinery. I don’t know who enjoys it more…. Ben or Daddy! The Ipswich Art Gallery are continually offering exhibitions and programs that are designed to reflect children’s interests and provide opportunities for children to make their own art works, discover new ideas, interact with their families and play. I am continually overwhelmed by the Gallery’s generosity. It really is an exceptional experience for young children.
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.
Yum!
Got to love a silver ice block on a hot day!
