You can just about see the teddy/toy Nativity we've had up on the left. We were missing a few characters but we all got the point!

 It's not really jingle bells at Christmas but cicada chirps. The boys love them and Steve's often out at night finding unhatched ones peeping out of holes in the ground from their 7year -ish long sleep. The boys get a bit confused with the names though.. "Brown Bacon" and "Black Baker".

 When I came to Australia from England when I was ten, I was freaked out by these. A girl had me cornered and thought it was funny to show me one up close while I had a panic attack! So these pictures give me the creeps but I'm under control! I can appreciate and fake an "ooh! lovely boys... now outside with them!"

 Riley's a funny boy. He has trouble getting to sleep lately. Like Lucas did at his age. He's rather inventive though and last night made a road out of books. We store all the books in storage tubs under his bed - no messy shelves or hours maintaining it! He'd made a road for Lucas that joined up with his and then led out of their room and down the corridor. So funny!  He even sneaked out of bed one more time to fix his road as he's seen me moved a book out of place. Slightly anal for a 3 year old! And no he's not autistic before I get any comments. Just cute.
