Bits and Bobs and Boots and Babies

Today I bring you a whole bunch of bits and pieces. But let's start with the most important one, because I know the whole world is on tenterhooks to know what I did with my birthday shoe voucher! Behold:

Were they expensive? Yes. Are they comfy? Oh yes. The leather is all thin and buttery and yumtious. And since they are replacing two pairs of short boots that I bought in 2004 and 2005 respectively, I think we can safely say that they will be getting plenty of wear. Thank you, Mutti and Bunce!

Now, on to the important stuff, viz., the baby. Who is so big and helpful these days! Here he is putting the washing away.

You might think that this was taken half way through the putting-away process, but you would be wrong. That was the finished product.

Here he is wearing Daddy's awesomely stylish slippers and looking a bit like a gunslinger. I don't like the way that right hand is idling at his hip, he looks like he's got an evil plan in place.

Here he is being lots less evil, making tea with sand at the beach, and trying to break his way into the snack box where a chocolate Krispie is lurking.

And this is the Teddy Bears' Picnic at PlayCentre.

Today Liam and I took Seb on a walk around the perimeter of the airport, doing some "pyane" spotting. It was slow going when Seb was on two feet, because he couldn't move and look at pyanes at the same time. Also, silly me forgot the camera; but luckily, Liam had his phone with him.

As a side note to that picture, the No Poo experiment is going swimmingly. I hadn't baking soda'd my hair for a whole week in that pic. The first couple of weeks, Sunday was a Don't Take Off Your Hat day, and in fact the first week I horrified my husband by combing my hair straight back off my face and it simply staying there. But, see? Today, really quite normal after a week of nothing but a couple of water rinses. It's just over a month into the process, so I'm keen to see what happens in the next month or two. It's definitely a whole lot softer and less frizzy and flyaway.

Here's the boy with his daddy on the same walk.

And here are the boys on a bouncy castle at the Honest Lawyer, where we treated ourselves to a beer and some chips in the sunshine after our five k walk. Man, it's nice to see the blue sky for a change. Weather has been foul!

Where are all the pictures of my girl? Well I hardly saw her this weekend, what with one thing and another. Will have to do better next week! She did let me do her eyebrows today though (she was brave as houses) and looks very pretty. Also, she is my darling and I love her.

Also, I keep meaning to say how many words Sebby can say now. A couple of weeks ago I thought I could still list them all. But now there's no chance of it. He learns them too fast!

This week I'm afraid he learned FART.

When I Grow Up I'm Going To Be...

... a lighthouse keeper! I have bin pracktissing.



We stayed in this lighthouse all weekend! Only boo, it was sooper rainy. It didn't matter though. We went into Takakakakakakaka and found a way cool cafe with lots of yummy FOOD:



And lots of orsum TOYS:



So who cares about rain? Today it stopped raining for a bit so we went to the beach or wot I call the BEESSSSSHHHHHHH and I puddle splashed with grate fabulosity but Mum can't make the video upload, she is ressling with the new version of iMovie. Trust me I was sooper cute. Then I got a big STIK and poked fings wiv it.



But mostly I was just a reely good boy and played with the most orsummest colleckshun of cars in the hole world. There were so many there to play wiv that I figgered out that playing wiv cars is wot lighthouse keepers do.

Wuntie Will Weekend! With Bonus Winkle Story

I had a TOP weekend this weekend cos my Wuntie Will came to stay! And she is my mate.



I fought she would never get here. Her plane went to Welly instead! And she had to stay the HOLE NITE! But she got here in the end. So we took her to the PUB to make up for her horrid trip and I played this ace joke, watch this.

First you HIDE in a HAT.



Then BOO!!!!!!! You fricken everybody to death!



Heh heh heh. Then me and Wunty Will ivvented this ace game where you roll the ball on the table. I call it "roll the ball on the table".



Today was all sunny and nice so we went to a caff and et nice fings in the sunshine.



And we went to the beach too. Here is me and my Dad in front of a super cool beach whare.



Now I'm going to tell you a TERRIBLE STORY about somefing my mum did she is so imbarrissing. Today my sissy had her frend Amy over and they were up in the studio doing fings and I woke up from my nap and my mum was changing my PANTS and my WINKLE was having a nice time and all BIG and IMPRESSIVE and do you kno wot my mum did she shouted WILL WILL COME HERE and they admired my HUUUUUUGE WINKLE and sed LOOK AT HIS WILLIE and HAHAHAHA how can we put his nappy on? Cos my winkle made my nappy like a tent.

So that is bad enuff you mite think.

BUT THEN it turns out that the BABY MONITOR WAS ON and up in the studio my sis and her frend are larfing like crazy hyenas about my mum yelling at my Wunty Will about my luvly happy winkle.

My Dad says that is blogging gold and also twenty first birfday gold. I fink its a bit of an assort on my DIGNITY but it is hard to have DIGNITY when you have a HUUUUUUUGE WINKLE and you need your pants changed.

Hape Brfday Yor Madge

Hey you lot it's me SEB!

I have had a sooper weekend hanging out wiv the fam. It's Her Madjesty's Birfday apparently so we got some extra time and that was pretty rocking.

I am a bizzy bloke these days. I have taken up CONSTRUCTION.



Also I am getting pritty fond of the LADEEZ heh heh heh say no more here I am with a leggy blonde.



This isn't a LADEE this is my SIS. We are doing wot yoof does these days we are DIGITAL BEINGS. I fink she was spying on my app tho. She doesn't have any good aminal noises apps on her laptop. Sucked in MOMO!



Now I am nearly growed up the olds take me to the PUB. It's pretty orsum. I invented this top game where you sit on the windowledge and then WHEEEEEEEE you HURL yorself at your dad.



Yet more proof of my sucksess with the LADEEZ at the pub. Srsly I am good.



It's all dark and wintery now, here is me and Ma walking home from the pub. She is wearing her new squidgy jacket, we spent about 5489357483 hours or maybe days at KATHMANDU on Sunday wiv our top voucher from Ma's frend and spent squillions but saved more squillions which is sort of confuzzling but I fink I'll leave the maffs to the oldies.



Here is somefing else we bort this weekend it is BOOKS. We went to the bookfair. I was a bit of a pain, heh heh, but they bort me books anyway.



And today my frend Robbie wot I call ROBBA came round wiv his cool big bro Jack and we had a top time and I gived ROBBA lots of hugs and sometimes I sat on him too to show him how much I luv him. But this is me and Jack we had to sit next to one anovver cos we are top mates.



Hape Brfday Yor Madge!
