BOOTS & BLOCKS

IMG_3580

One of Ollie’s birthday presents was a bunch of Duplo blocks.  Since he got so spoilt for toys, I put these away for a rainy day.  Well that day came recently and we have been having an absolute blast with them since then.  I suspect that I am loving playing with them slightly more than Ollie, and I probably shouldn’t admit that I’ve been guilty of shielding my constructions from him occasionally just to avoid him destroying them immediately.  But that really is his favourite game, destruction.  Other games include throwing them back in the box, chewing on the flower shaped one and sticking the small square ones in the Tupperware shape-o.

You might notice from the photo above that Ollie’s hair is starting to look a bit wild and crazy at the sides and at the back.  I’ve had a few comments lately about him needing to get a haircut but I’m not ready to crop it off.  I’m hoping that once we get through this awkward mullet stage that it will blossom into a gorgeous mass of hair.  Until then, he styles it each day with his food which keeps it pointing out at all kinds of wild angles.

As his walking is becoming less of a novelty and more of a mode of transportation, we got Ollie fitted for his first pair of big boy shoes.  We bought him a pair of cute size 5 sandals that he thinks taste delicious, but will take a bit of getting used to before much more walking.

I got the cutest t-shirt for Obear this week.  It says “ Luke & Leia & Obi-Wan & Han & Chewie”.  Bit of a kick for his Star Wars loving parents.

Movieworld!

I told you last week that we had been busy having lots of fun around here and another of our fun activities (this time while Nanna Freddy was here) was a trip to Movieworld. But as I'm currently heat pressing fifty odd t-shirts for this weekend's big market, I am only able to make it to the computer in 40 second stints.  It isn't that I'm worried about scorching the shirts, but the heat press has this dreadful tinky asian sounding song as the alarm on the timer and it really grates on my soul!  And as I'm sure you can agree that there isn't a whole lot I can write in the time it takes me to run between the computer and the press (this paragraph has taken me five t-shirts!), this blog is going to be mainly pictures. Ol loved the characters. But not as much as the rides.  He went on about 16.  Seriously. He wasn't a fan of the car driving ones as he just couldn't make them work properly.  His dodgem effort was basically just driving aro...

Food, friends and footy.

This week Ollie and I had a special visitor all the way from Cloncurry - our friend Jesse. Jesse came to play at Camp Ollie for a few hours while his mum had some very well deserved shopping time. Ollie and Jesse played lots of fun games like cups and Jesse was very helpful to me during the afternoon. Another exciting event this week was Nick and my third wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went to the lovely E'cco restaurant on Saturday night, thanks to Aunty Em who stayed over at our place to look after Ollie. Thankfully Ollie was on his best behaviour, as opposed to some of the other nights recently that have seen me popping into his room a number of times in the early hours of the morning. Ollie got to see his Aunty Em again the next day when we went over to the McNaughton/Dower home to celebrate Aunty Hayley's birthday and to catch up with Uncle Luke. Hayley cooked the wonderful family birthday tradition of Flat Meat (hard to describe but kind of like a thinner sc...

Happy little campers!

We went camping.  Five couples, five toddlers and four babies.  What the heck were we thinking? Well truth be told it wasn't really camping.  More like glamping.  We stayed in four safari tents and one tent site all in a little cul de sac.  There was a big communal area with a fire pit just close to our tent where everyone gathered.  The kids wandered around as if they owned the place but thankfully managed to avoid getting lost, burned, etc. Occasionally the children all stayed still.  Occasionally. Check out Evie Peevey's cool boots.  Ol's country cousins gave these to him when he was little but because he had such big feet he grew out of them before he walked so they never really got used for anything other than to look cute.  Thankfully Eve gave them a right proper wearing over the weekend and just looked super gorgeous wearing boots and leggings the whole time. We also busted out our baby backpack that we took Ol t...
