3....2...1...Blast off!

Oliver's birthday is in July, which is not only a little too cold for an outdoor party, but, it also happens to be during the school holidays, meaning that most of his friends are away. We have, over the years, held his "proper" party towards the end of August.

So, this weekend, 22 astronauts graduated from Oliver's lunar space shuttle programme. The extra-terrestrial mission included hunting for cosmic moon rocks and a spacecraft missile launch.  Rookies were then asked to eliminate an alien and participate in a deep-space experiment (Pepsi and Mentos) and finally to construct a shuttle of their own.

We had a blast!

He still lives in a world filled with imagination and make believe. Dressing up like a superhero can make a day turn from ordinary to awesome. He is getting taller and can now read. 


My little boy turns seven today.

Brrr.. it has been a little nippy around here these days!!

This week we learned about the joys of kite flying.

 We are away this weekend, Kath and Carl will be posted on our return

 

 

I'm at home this week with my little brood of boys and it feels good to be free of routine, but, it's also quite a challenge being at home. The amount of energy required for this job is not to be underestimated.

Anyway, there seems to be a bit of an uprising on this side, as the three boybarians are horrified that only a photo of their cousin, Angelique, was posted on the blog for Easter.

 

So, here you are, a couple more from the chocolate season.

I am beginning to wonder who is in charge of this blog. The boys, or me?
