Harry has signed up for preschool martial arts classes. We’re hoping it will teach him a bit of self control and discipline, not to mention having lots of fun kicking things. He’s going to Little Dragons Taekwondo. I went along for the first lesson and it was so cute! A great female instructor who was […]

We’re settling in pretty well in the new land. In some ways it’s like we’ve never been away! The new house is a ramshackle beast, very roomy, set amongst a tangled jungle of weeds and exotic plants. I spotted a blue tongued lizard yesterday near the letter box but it quickly vanished into the undergrowth. […]

Upon leaving kindy:
“Mummy, that teacher is not a very good singer.”
Upon getting in the car:
“Can we listen to Uncle Sam’s song that starts with the beautiful fairy music?”
Upon being put in his room for time out (as heard through the door):
“What will I do if she opens the door? I will kill her! But then […]

Sam sent me this pic of Harry having a bash over Christmas. What a rocker!
Archie is going great at school, apart from being sick for 50% of the days so far. Hopefully that is just a temporary aberration, he is back now and raring to go.
I have just discovered Threadless and am obsessed, though as […]

Harry had a lovely birthday party yesterday. It was our first time ever running party games like Pass the Parcel and Musical Chairs. That Musical Chairs is a vicious frenzied contest, there were tears and bruises galore. Maybe next year we’ll be brave enough for Pin The Tail On The Donkey.
Here’s a Harry birthday video […]

We had a great weekend up at my mother’s place near Greytown. We haven’t been up for months so it was long overdue! The boys loved the pony, especially Harry who rode him around and kept bringing him flowers to eat. Unfortunately it POURED with rain all day Sunday but we still enjoyed ourselves. Now […]

Archie is absolutely obsessed with the Samuel Flynn Scott track, War Over Water. It all started when I posted the video to this blog a couple of weeks ago and Archie wanted to watch it every night before he went to bed. So then I played it to him on the stereo and now we […]

Mummy: “Night night Harry! Have sweet dreams about flying to the moon and going to Junglerama!”
Harry: “Harry dream about fixing computer. Girls can fix computer. Boys can’t fix computer.”
