Acherly its bin more of  a party week cos my MUTTI is here and I love her soooooooooooo much she is orsum.  Wen those boring parints of mine come in to my room in the morning I hav to shout NOOO NOOO MUTTI till she comes.  She is my bestie.  We do top stuff like making peez out of smooshy pastry.

And reading books and books and books and books and books and books and books and books.

On Saturday I did somefing really top and clevver.  Can you gess wot is in the TOILET???

EVERYFING!

Pritty ace for a little guy eh?  But I am groing up.  Here I am wiv my first fayshul hare.  We went to a Halloween party and Mutti was a witchypoo and Molly was a... ummm... spunky Halloween chick and I was one of the Village People.

So we went to the party and I had sooooooooo much fun and we went to a GRAVEYARD and disturbed the SPIRITS wiv lots of stories and swordfights and I sat wiv my Daddy and my big frend Zac the Vampire and it was totally top.

And next week I have my MUTTI all to myself again YAAAAYYYYYY YAYYYYYYY YAYYYYY YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!

Presents and Visitors

I have been rather horribly remiss in documenting the last week or so, when we have had the pleasure of Anna, aka The Hunching Blue Witch, for reasons which are completely beyond her control, and so we really shouldn't be so horrid as to call her that even in private, and certainly not to her face, and CERTAINLY not on the internet, but hey, family, so THBW it is.  

Seb has loved, loved, loved having his big cuzzy around.  He calls her everything from Annie to Nannie to Dannie to Zannie, though not THBW so far.  It's been great having her here.  And she cemented her place in his heart by giving him THIS.  Wunty Will, take a look and know for sure that you are a great present-buyer.

It was a great day for surprises yesterday.  When Seb woke up from his nap, his Mutti was here!  We crept in to wake him up, and he sat up with this look of frowning confusion; and then the penny dropped, and Mutti! he cried, with a smile of pure happiness.  It was lovely. 

The big one was pretty pleased to see her Mutti too.

And then to top off his lovely afternoon Seb got to talk with Bunce on the phone.  This is a very still and boring video, but that intense concentration is a rare and beautiful thing when you are Not-Quite-Two and I just have to share it with Bunce.   Plus the goodbye smile with bonus wave and eye-crinkle is just too dear! 

Anna is off back home this morning.  We will miss you, Na!

Project Funway

So here it is!  This is what Miss M will be modelling at Fashion Island on Saturday.  Not bad for a sheet eh?

Sunday at the Beach

I love spring days at the beach!  Sunshine and clear skies and no sweating.  Perfect.  The boys agree with me.  Today we took coffees and the Sunday paper down to Rabbit Island (along with bucket and spade of course) and wiled away the morning with sun and beach art.

This is a cool photo but it was a very brief respite, Daddy was soon corralled into sand constructions.  No rest for the wicked.  Or Daddy.

But look what they built!  A huuuuuuuge sculpture!  I did the fiddly bits at the top.  Daddy did all the hard labour.  Seb mostly just made a nuisance of himself.

We wonder how long it'll last...

The rest of the day was spent working hard on our Project Funway dress.  Pics later this week, promise!

Spring spring springetty spring

So, first -- spring is so sprung!  Our garden is so lush with blossoms and camellias it's ridiculous.  Loving it.  Every time I pull into the drive way is an utter delight.  PLUS the first asparagus has appeared!  Yayyyy!

Speaking of utter delights, when I got home today I saw the boys playing over the road in the school playground.  Oh my goodness.  That little dude of ours is some crazy acrobat.  Look at these pictures and remember that this little creature isn't even TWO yet!

Here he has climbed up a ladder to a platform at my head height.  I'm standing in heels taking this picture.  He's clearly not suffering any vertigo.

Again, at head height.  This was terrifying.  See that other yellow metal thing behind this one?  He did that one too.

This is a serious big kid slide, the middle section looks close to free-fall.  Even Molls sat at the top of it with him the other day and had major second thoughts about the advisability of descent.  Admittedly, Seb does like to hold someone's hand while he plummets down here.

And this is just cute, he looks like Piglet.
