The Dower Family

I remember years ago hearing about these kooky weirdos called "breatharians" who basically didn't eat meals but merely subsisted upon breathing the air.  It sounded nuts back then and it especially sounds nuts now.  But I am beginning to suspect that our sweet little Eve may be a breatharian.   Ol was more a fan of the devour any food in sight at the fastest rate possible and then go back for seconds.  And thirds.  But not our sweet little E.  I'm not saying that she doesn't eat at all.  In fact there are some days when she goes a bit mad for food.  But then there are others when she seems to get by solely on a mouthful of weetbix, a crust of sandwich and whatever she can scavenge off the floor.  Ah yes, floor food.  That seems to be a whole food group for Eve.  As he was an only child, Ol wasn't exposed to floor food in the same way.  But thanks to his messy eating habits, little Evie can probably survive quite nicely on the odd sultana, dried nutri grain bi

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

We have been SUPER busy around here lately.  So much so that I will need to publish TWO blogs to tell you all about it! The first exciting thing we did was go to the zoo.  Alma Park zoo to be precise.  Simply Brisbane's best.  And only.  I think that is the only way they can really make that claim.  But we picked up some really cheap tickets so it wasn't such a bust.  Although I wouldn't have been so thrilled if we had paid full price. But moving right along, the kids thought it was totally awesome.   And isn't that the point? Ol was terribly excited to see a red panda.   As was Evie.  She even blew it kisses.  Which she does in this terribly cute fashion at the moment using the back of her hand.  She doesn't just reserve this for cuddly animals, she also likes doing it to shop attendants. There were LOTS of peacocks wandering around the zoo.  This is the first one Ol saw and tried to feed.  They were still a novelty at this point.
