Do you want to know what runs on:
3 x AAA
3 x 9V
and
31 x AA batteries ?




The tank is David's
The robot and yellow digger and loader and GMC Van is Alexander's
and the 4X4 is mine

all I can say is thank goodness we have rechargeable batteries!!!!

We had a fun afternoon at the local school playing with our toys - not to mention chasing the cat round the house and yard with our toys.

A few photos from Christmas Day
the first ones are at the bottom!!! work your way up.

Alexander had a ball, he totally loves his remote control digger and excavator he got from Nanny and Grandad.

Not to mention his RC huge train set - there is a little bit of remote control fever in our house as we went out this morning for the Boxing Day sales and Daddy got a RC tank, Alexander got a RC robot and I got a RC 4x4 truck. With all these toys that require batteries, we have a factory here of batteries on charge or in toys!!!

I just adore my Golliwog money bank that my sister in law sent all the way from the UK, she looks cute with my other gollies.

David got a large tool box from Alexander for Christmas, we thought it was time he progressed from a small cardboard box to a real mans tool box - hehe!

We had a wonderful lunch at mums place, this is the first year that David has not been outside on the BBQ cooking lunch etc, so he happily played with Alexander and all his toys.

I was so tired I fell asleep on the couch at 8.30pm, all that toy removing from boxes took it out of me.









Alexander hugging his presents

Yesterday Alexander was eating his dinner, and he called out to me "look i can do magic" and when I looked over at him he had a tea spoon hanging off his nose!!!!! Magic I tell you!!! He did it again for these photos. He is crazy I tell you, I'm still laughing now.
Never did I think that, that little sweet newborn baby would be hanging spoons off his nose 3 and a half years later....

He is all tucked up in bed asleep waiting for Father Christmas, mean while we have another 20 presents to wrap :-)

wanna see something cute... :-)

"cheeky monkey"....i think Daddy and I would like to call you something else!!!!

a little video made by Dave....

Alexander had the farm visit his kindy today, he loves rabbits as you can see. He loved feeding the sheep and the goats, chickens etc. He must get his love of animals from me i guess, he's not afraid at all, he even lay down next to the pig for a cuddle & a chat so the kindy teacher told me after I left... hehehe!

Most of you know that I love to do scrap booking, and photography, that's my thing :-)
I was thrilled to be invited to join a CT (creative team) for Galiscraps, its a huge honor that a designer loves what I do and wants me to scrap with their products before they are released to the public.

(I took a photo of the Santa photo - accounts for the poor quality, sorry)

Alexander with Santa this year, he was so excited about going to see him, we had to go twice.
Not like his photo from last year (wanted to be as far away as possible) check back to last Decembers posts if you wanna see...lol
And I notice that I had dressed Alexander in socks and sandals of all things!!!! Ohhhh the shame, sorry son!!!

Next week is the last week of kindy as well, on the last day the kids are having a party and the mobile farmyard is coming with rabbits, guinea pigs, lambs, chickens and goats etc. I know Alexander will love this :-)

the view from our top lounge window....

I'm sure all parents feel proud of their kids art work, well I know I do, this is the 2009 calendar Alexander made for us at kindy :-)

Alexander's Santa Hat photos. I do these every year.
These were just quick ones taken with my phone while I wait for the digital camera batteries to charge up, but I really like these so may not need to take anymore, I'm sure I will as Alexander loves to wear the Santa hat, he wanted to wear it to kindy today...hehehe
