Bad Father part 100

Oops - Rory walked down 12 steps at the zoo on his nose. Luckily he rolled down the last 4 steps into a huge puddle.

When Ethan started using chips...

... to pretend to be Diego the sabre tootheed tiger, I gave in and we went to see Ice Age 2 (with Solly Richard and Ella)

Jervis Bay - Nancy Part 2

Although the Buck trip to Nancy (France) will forever be the benchmark upon which all holidays are judged, a close second must now involve our trip to Jervis Bay.
The cabin was 2ft square with a triple bunk and a double bed. Only cold water and no toilet helped enhance the experience. Add to that the overwhelming smell of conjealed bacon which lived with us for the entire stay and the local wildlife which pooed on almost every inch of the car. Sprinkle on a lot of rain and a temperature change which saw us in 3 layers of jumper + coat at the beach (with shorts and bear feet of course so we could paddle) and you are close to feeling our pain. The only thing left was to have our youngest son wake up at midnight, 3am, 4am and 7am every night.











AJ, Sam, Zak and Zia some of Caths work colleagues we met on holiday.

Olly has been deported

Sad to see you go buddy - but anyone who gets stuck on a kids ride in the playground has to leave......

Off to the hill of doom

So we went to the Hill (did it have eyes - no it didn't)
But it did have a great slope for cardboarding (similar to surfboarding)



Rocks for climbing





Who won? Well it is all a blur - but look how far they went!

Egg Rolling - a homage to the cat

Harry and Ethan had to read the clues to find their eggs - lucky we only used short words!

Olly - you missed the big spider

only 3 days after he has left, the biggest ever huntsman spider decides to move in to our house.
I fled to the garden while Cath and the boys dealt with the beast - it needed a large ice cream tub, a long brrom and some Aussie courage to move it.......

Solly, Will and Ethan

Desperate days at Bondi as they employ almost

anyone ............

In the meantime Olly got drunk again.....

...in front of a picture which reminded us of Richie and Scott

So we had some more whisky and sang "big girls don't cry again"

A BIG week for the kids.....

This weeks sees Ethan as the "class leader" - which means he is always at the front of the long snaking line going from wherever to wherever-else. This of course means the line goes much more slowly and often in the wrong direction - Solomon says that he wants Ethan to always be the leader.....
Meanwhile Rory has moved from one class at pre-school to another - he has gone from dazzlers to sprinkles (or something like that.......


.....and in late breaking news Ethan has been awarded a merit certificate....... see pic below

The Original just got better.......

Message for Rich and Scott at the GMC - below is the first ever Curr-Tea - better than the Coff-Tea you used to love Rich. This one is made with curry powder...........
Bit of an Indian feel - Ollie loved it on April the First.......
