The Dower Family

How cute are these kids? This was them this morning rocking out a bit of double Mini Mayhem shirts (and triple Mini Mayhem necklaces). Ol might look too cool to smile but he was actually shattered. A long week at school coupled with waking up at silly o'clock does not make for a happy camper. All is much better now though as they sit on the couch together watching a movie and eating twisties. Much more to tell soon (like the battle of the thumb sucking Eve), but I just thought you might all like a glimpse of Saturday morning around here.

Global domination is tiring work.  The Mini Mayhem trajectory has taken a massive leap this year with the introduction of our wholesale agent who is bringing in a lot more stockists.  We've also just had our winter production arrive which includes some great new long sleeved printed shirts, cool dinosaur hats and just to keep me busy, some great little necklaces for the boys too.  Ol has been the perfect little fit model and I think he knows he looks pretty cute in all his new gear.

Our gift to Hayley and Simon was to put together a little film of the day.  I have watched this about 100 times while editing and I am still tearing up.  I hope you enjoy it too.
