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 around in tiny circles.  But he was actually the best driver out there.  The rest were really dismal.





Evie was there too.  She also was pretty taken with the soft characters - and the feeling was mutual.  This babs bunny didn't want to let her go and they all had a lovely dance together while the other kids had to wait their turn.  Perhaps all the love was because Ollie had brought Bugs Bunny a carrot which he had carried around for about 24 hours.  It wasn't in the best shape when he gave it to Bugs but he was impressed anyway.




Evie got some one on one time with Sylvester while Ol was off on a ride.


And which ride would that be?  The rollercoaster!!  It didn't go upside down but it was still a pretty serious one.  Once it started I realised how scary it was and I got a bit nervous that Ol might burst out crying but his screams seemed to be of joy and this was confirmed when it stopped and Ol demanded "let's do that again!".  We did.  Immediately.  And another two times after lunch.  Super awesome.  We are going to have a LOT of fun going on rollercoasters together.


In case you didn't believe me about it being a scary rollercoaster, here is a pic that mum snapped from the ground.  Totally scary indeed, especially when you are only four centimetres above the minimum height!


We ended up staying almost all day so Ol was completely shattered when we left.  We snapped this shot of him snoozing away with his new Bugs Bunny toy on the way home.  He might be a daredevil but he still needs his day nap!

Ollie is 13: the birthday blog

  You are officially a teenager.  The big ONE THREE has finally come around.  I know I say it every year but it truly does feel like just moments since you came into this big world.  In typical fashion, you are I want to tell you some of the things that I will always remember about you at this age: - you were accepted into the academic excellence stream for high school and you not only kept your head above water, but finished your first year with an award for achieving five A's - your interest in photography and film has grown and you are enjoying making material and posting it online - something that makes me so very proud - your voice has gotten so deep.  You sound like a man, not the little boy I have grown used to talking to over all these years - you have become involved in drama at school and it fits you like a glove.  You have appeared on stage a number of times now and you are fearless in your performances - you got your first iphone.  This has...

Eve is 8: the birthday blog!

My youngest child is eight!! How can that be? Nearly three thousand days on this planet?? As I come to grips with this let me share with you some of the things I want to always remember about her at this age: -         She has a crush.  She wouldn’t tell me for ages who it was but Ollie knew and was sworn to secrecy which is super cute.  Plus I knew pretty early on anyway thanks to her writing his name all around the place with love hearts around it. -          She makes this makes this weird cat noise – like a hissing meow.   It’s sometimes accompanied by a strange claw like gesture and usually when she doesn’t like something that you’ve done.   Everyone who has ever heard it agrees that it’s REALLY annoying.   Conversely she has a high pitched squeak like a guinea pig when she is happy about something.   Basically she is just a small animal.   -     ...
