Mwahahaha! Revenge!

Remember how Matthew asked to be kissed in the private area of the school yard so that his friends couldn't see him.....well I got my revenge!
On Friday after school we were walking down the hill at the back of the school yard when Matthew put his hand in mind and held it. I responded with and "Ahh so you want to hold my hand now do you? Well if you are going to do that I'm going to do this!" I then tackled him to the floor and proceeded to cover him in kisses! When I allowed him off the ground he grabbed my hand again so we skipped down the hill with Mummy yelling "Mummy loves Matthew! Mummy loves Matthew!"
Paybacks are sweet!

Now what is happening to my baby??

This morning we were walking into the school grounds and as we got to the janitors shed at the back of the school Matthew asked if he could have his kiss now! This may or may not have come about after he kissed me at the preschool gate yesterday in front of  all of his friends. Suddenly I am uncool! At least I should still be thankful I still got a kiss! Even if it was out the back of the sheds!

What's happening to me?

I was in a bookstore with the boys the other day browsing when Matthew brought me a book stating it was the funniest book he had ever seen! I looked a the title and my heart dropped to the floor! I was sure I had another 20 or so years before we had to start discussing these issues! The book that Matthew found so hilarious was "What's happening to me" by Peter Mayle. You might recall it from your own childhood. It was the book your parents might have accidentally left on the coffee table or it was the book snickered at but very much thumbed through at the library.
Anyway so Matthew brought it over and we had a flick through it. He giggled hysterically at the boobs that rested on the table. It was less hysterical on the page with the maturing boy pictures then we got to the maturing women pictures his jaw shut with a audible click!
So then when Nathan got home I told him what had happened and told him it will be a lot easier if we started talking about these issues now with Matthew and the other boys, while it is still hysterically funny and not mortifyingly embarrassing!
So guess what our bed time story is tonight!!!!!

Now that is a sandwich!

Does this remind you of anyone you know??????????

 It was the sandwich that kept giving as everyone had a go!

It was full of ham, salami, lettuce. tomato, cucumber, carrot, cheese and mayo!

It was however consumed in the one sitting (thats because it was so yum!) and was not dragged around until it was festy! Thank goodness!

Happy Birthday Cleon!

Last Thursday was Cleon's birthday. Cleon and Michelle both take their birthday's off work which means we usually get to have afternoon tea with them.The boys and the girls from down the street spent a whole afternoon decorating cupcakes for her! But they also spent a whole afternoon eating them. Unless you were Ben where you spent the whole afternoon icing them and then only eating the top!

The boys couldn't wait to give her her present. Prank Patrol is a favorite show in this house so I worded them up about a prank that was often played in our house as kids. We found the biggest box we could and filled it up with newspaper and put Cleon's tiny present at the bottom of the box. We then wrapped the box. Well the boys thought that was pretty hilarious but they thought they could do better and decided to add a fake spider into he box!

It would have worked better but they had shaken the box several times before Cleon unwrapped it and the spider was no longer at the top of the box. So she didn't get a huge fright but they we happy that they had prank patrolled her!

Happy Birthday Cleon!

A Beautiful Morning for a ride!

Nathan rode his bike to work this morning. It was minus 3.5 degrees! Yes there are icicles attached to his sleeve. They were also attached to his helmet!

I found a new gift to give all new parents!

I have been wanting to do book reviews for a while now and this book is so fitting for my first!

Every parent I know has been there! I certainly know I have! It is funny, well written and NOT for kids! So instead of "Guess how much I love you" and "You are all my Favourites" as newborn book presents it will now be "Go the ... to sleep"!

I just found this awesome clip of Mrs Playschool herself reading this funny as book! Now it is profanity laden so if you have kids about well you had best wait until the have gone the f@*k to sleep!
