More valuable than gold
Mum asked me to put some paw paw ointment on my winter-weathered-lips….but I got a little creative!
Mum was less than excited – as her crucial supply comes all the way from Australia. Good thing we’re headed home for a couple of weeks in July 🙂
First day of Spring
The first day of Spring brought snow….really!
Check out this icicle we pulled off the house!
Leprechaun trap
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
Unfortunately we didn’t catch any leprechauns in Eli’s trap but we love her effort 🙂
Good or bad idea?
Soooo…today I thought Lachie, ELi and I would head off to the Great Swamp for a short mountain hike and a little Maple Sugaring….fun right? You tell me from the pictures???
It was off to a good start when 30 seconds into the walk I turn around to look for Lachlan and he is walking through the snow in his socks!
Mum: What happened to your shoes Lach?
Lachlan: One came off.
Mum: But you have two shoes off?
Lachlan: It was easier to take the other one off than put the first one back on.
Mum: Aren’t you cold? and your socks are wet 😦
Lachlan: Yes, can we go home?
…meanwhile Eli had disappeared out of sight up the mountain path…
OK…so in case we weren’t sure it has now been confirmed…hiking in the cold weather and snow (even for yummy sweet stuff) may not be the best of ideas!
Lachlan thinks this is why they invented video games… 😦
Mum thinks it was nice to be outside 🙂
The birthday-festival continues
Today Lachie had his birthday party – the theme? Hockey, basketball and four-square of course! It was lots of fun 🙂
Ready, set, go!
Hockey…

Lachie is star of the week
Lachie is the star of the week in HIS class this week. As part of that the class get to find out all about Lachlan as told by Lachlan! Here are his answers to the questionnaire….
I show others I care by…playing with my friends.
Three super cool facts about me are:
- I am a good dancer.
- I like playing with my friends
- keeping everything tidy
These are a few of my favourite things:
- colour – orange
- animal – shark
- food – ring pop
- drink – chocolate milk
- book – the second story tree house
- sport – basketball
- thing to do in school – coloring
- thing to do at home – play games
- game – two square
When I grow up I want to be a lawyer.
I am a star because…I am smart.
Look who’s 6!
Happy birthday Lachie! We love you and are so proud of you BN+E Xxx
Our tigers have amazing little memories
Today we told Lachie that as it is your birthday tomorrow, we can go anywhere (within hitting distance) that want to for lunch.
We expected him to say Roman Gourmet for pizza, Buffalo Wild Wings or Burger King.
Surprisingly he chose a restaurant on City Island that we had been to on Mother’s day two years ago.
He was so little at the time – we were impressed he remembered! Sometimes we wonder if they are going to remember all or even any of our little adventures….but he remembered this place and those ribs – yummo!
(yes a seafood restaurant and he loves it for the ribs! but seafood loving mum certainly wasn’t going to complain)
…and it was just as good the second time around 🙂
