They can have such fun together sometimes!

I said yesterday that we had cut Elliot’s hair.  We had cut Max’s hair and Elliot had gone on and on about wanting his the same so after deciding that at worse all that we’d have to do is wait for it to grow back we cut it.  Here are the results (and one of Max too )

Still here!  Not much happening really – same shit different day.

Vic has just got over two weeks of school holiday hell and being really busy with her cards business but nothing really stick out.

Oh, we cut Elliot’s hair so I’ll post a picture soon

So all four of us are lying in bed on Sunday morning and Vic says to the boys “do remember what day it is today?”

Elliot looks at Max and shouts out:

“Happy farmer’s day!”

A funny way to start off father’s day

Caught up with Ali (a school friend of mine today) and her children.  It was great to see them but also realised just how much I miss them.  They live a couple of hours away and we don’t get to see them that often – last time was about a year ago.  Having kids at school, and both of us with husbands and kids that play sport in the weekend means we can really only meet during the school holidays now.  We both drove for an hour to meet in the middle, the kids had a run around in the park for an hour and a half, then we had lunch and more play at McDonalds.  The kids all played well together although Elliot still thinks he’s the Kung Fu Panda and had to remind him not to hit the others!  Here’s a photo of Jack (7), Abbey (6), Max (5) and Elliot (3).

We had our first family day at the movies yesterday and decided to see Kung Fu Panda.  The boys both handled the length of the movie pretty well although Elliot did get a wee bit scared during one of the fight scenes and spent the next hour on my knee

What we should have realised of course is that for the next God-knows-how-long we would have three and five year olds terrorising each other with very dodgy martial arts moves.  Elliot gets terrified with Max pretending to punch and kick him and wails his head off.  All terrible until Max gets bored and turns his back then a three year old Bruce Lee comes bursting out and he somehow thinks that Max will be OK with a karate chop to the head…….

Everyone here has been sick over the last week with Vic getting it the worst.  Hopefully we are all on the mend now just in time for the weekend.

The boys have been OK for a couple of days – so good that they were having some fun the other morning with some blow up guitars

I have no idea what he was thinking but as I was taking pictures of Max’s black eye Elliot said I “had” to take a photo of him. The messy face is due to the fact that he was in middle of eating vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate sauce….
