1 banana, 2 banana
I have no idea what our plans for tomorrow are - if the weather is nice I might take K to CraigAvon or Parrs Park.... we'll see.

An interesting parcel

This morning dawned early (dangnabbit, stupid birds!) and wet, very wet. I had been planning on walking to Mainly Music but decided to drive hehe. They had a bugs theme and K was quite displeased with the antennae I made for him before the session started. I have so many gorgeous photo's - he was just too cute!! I will try and download them onto Chris's pc and pop them on FB as well. Tomorrow may be a coffee group at my place if the weather continues wet, as going to a park in the rain would be nasty. And that's it from me, for now anyway :)

Woe, woe

Tomorrow is our day off. Lord knows I need one, then Wednesday is the last session of Mainly Music for the term and Thursday we are heading out to CraigAvon park. Friday? Who knows :P

Is that the time?

You will be pleased to know that K has finally forgiven Chris for all the cold baths while he had gastro - and even gave him a snuggle and a loving pat or 2 on the back tonight :) We still experience the dying swan routine (sigh) but the clinginess has faded a bit. K has learned to open the doors out to the garage. This skill has eventuated through his passionate desire to enter the garage a room full of very exciting things, like sharp implements, poisons, and precariously stacked boxes... what's not to love? :P I witnessed him mimicking the karate kid stance, tho in K's version he stood poised above the paddling pool (fully dressed, 5 mins before we were going to head off to MM) and with the speed of a striking cobra dipped his toes into the pool and whipped them out again. His pants were perfectly dry after this. I was amazed!
The twin's had a very nice christening - and a veeeery long service which included the battle of britain remembrance. K was very good but after an hour and 10 minutes I had to take him outside. Little boys can only be good for so long after all :)
We headed off to Western Springs yesterday and K romped with abandon. The black swans scuttled madly about as they feasted on scones, crackers and muffins, while adroitly avoiding the caresses of overexcited little boys. K had a ball at mainly music today - though his dodgy tum meant we wanted lots of cuddles. Not such a good thing when you can smell a stinky little bottom - pooooh! Tomorrow's coffee group is going to be at the Parrs Corner playground. K hasn't been there before so he should LOVE it

Animals, animals everywhere

Today Chris took the day off and we headed off to Western Springs at 8:45am. I cursed myself for forgetting my camera!! It was a gorgeous sunny day, with daffodils beginning to bloom and the mist burning off over the lake. There were chickens, and ducks, and pukeko's to be chased - and chased they were. We then moved more than 4 metres into the park!! Kieran found a goose and chased it into the undergrowth. The poor bird kept looking over its shoulder as it fled, in disbelief that K hadn't given up yet! We saw lots of cygnets -but only for the Black swans oddly enough. However there were some small greyish swans on the lake and I wondered if the white ones hatched a bit earlier? And we found lots more geese - and goslings too! K was enraptured. Swans swarmed around our ankles (note to self - next time bring bread!!) and dogs jogged by with their owners sending K into paroxysms of delight. We did a circuit of the lake and headed into the zoo. K was in 7th heaven!!! The zoo rocked - say no more. K especially liked the Macaw, which kicked up a hell of a racket - right in front of his face, and the African Grey - which was creeping down the mesh of the cage towards K's eager little fingers... we left, precipitiously. We finished up the zoo trip at the Gibbon's cage - and he gratified K immensely by howling and hooting up a storm. I had always thought all that noise was from a tribe of monkeys. No, just one little black one :)
Tomorrow is mainly music and I am thinking about walking there and back - we will see what the weather does....

Calloo Callay, it's Father's Day!

Today is Father's Day and the father in this household is getting pancakes cooked for his breakfast - at least, he will do once I have played Farmville and he has finished his sleep-in. We DID have a block of chocolate as a present - but I note with chagrin that it seems to have changed shape and size from yesterday - someone obviously didn't want to wait! And he says that I am the impatient one!
Aaaaaand Happy Father's Day to Dad and Kingsley - I hope you have a wonderful sunny day, doing what you want to do :)
