Happy birthday Keren!
The birthday girl finally gets her pressie
Granny has been clearing out boxes and cupboards, and Grace got a dress which Keren wore when she was a little girl
Marble painting
Slick up a marble with some paint and roll it around over a piece of paper – lots of messy fun for a four year old. I’m pretty sure the first thing Eli would do if he got hold of it would be to put it in his mouth….hold onto that marble sis!
While big sis paints, flour and water for some squishy, mushy, messy fun.
Boys like to bash
Eli has discovered that it is fun to bash things on the table…
He also took a cruise down the entire passage using his “walker”
A few snippets and the first sign
The “Kiss me” bop
The blanket drag
The boat drag (wait for the punch)
Oh, and Eli signed “more” clearly for the first time today.
Knights & Princesses
Caleb turned 6 and had a knights and princesses themed party. Boy parties are just….well….entirely different to girl parties. When we arrived (late due to Eli’s sleep), the children were defending the treasure from being stolen by John the Terrified…
The birthday boy taking care of some knight business

Two cutie pies being….cute
Snap!
Playing Snap! with Grace, who is loving games, and getting much faster at snap.
Messy!
Loving the ooblek and making loads of mess
Let’s nosh the last of sissie’s yoghurt
I love pizza and I cannot lie
Snuggled up and cozy
A monkey and a warm pinguino – that’s all you need for a good night’s sleep
Seriously
I asked Grace this morning, “Are you wearing a vest?” This is the second day in a row that I’ve asked her. She responds, exasperate, “Seriously dad, why do you keep asking me that question?” Okay, lesson learnt, she wears a vest everyday.
Busy making foam putty creations
Grace’s cat and Donné’s butterfly
Baby suits and bicycle clowns
The little man, nearly ready to go
Grace decided she wanted to carry Eli in her baby moby warp. She just isn’t strong enough to hold him up though and kept collapsing.
Donné is practising for her next circus performance
