Dough Delivery

Lauren asked me to take some photo's of her making various things out of playdough. She transports the playdough in the back of her trike and then tortures in into all kinds of everyday objects and foodstuffs. The playdough starts out in all manner of vibrant colours and ends up as a greyish-green blob.

Mmm, biscuits, pillows and a chicken!

Savlon Cream

Skipping home from school today, Lauren took a bit of a tumble and ended up with a grazed knee! Badge of childhood ... tears, blood, Savlon cream, glass of wine (for mother).

Star of Stage and Screen

After many false starts, Lauren had her first school concert performance today.  There was some clapping and waving and maybe a little bit of singing but mostly there was “surveying of the room looking for an escape route”.  Sara grabbed some clips with her mobile phone and sent them through to me at work – brightened up my afternoon!

 

Relaxing in the Pool, Part 2

We were trawling through some old photos and happened upon this almost identical picture from 2004.
Room for more toys back then!

A New Approach

It's so much easier using Blogger to update happenings over here. The integration with Picassa is the icing on the cake - we have thousands of photos and manually managing a web page and scaling and uploading photos took far too long.

Sara and I will be adding more photos to the gallery over the next few days.

Looks like the Google behemoth rolls on ...
 
PS: And emailing updates to the blog? That's just cheating!

Splash and Run

Lauren says "Mummy running on the hopscotch. I'm waiting. Thank you for me letting stay (Gran and Gramps)."

In The Shade

Lauren says "Drinking beer! Just like Poppy!"

Relaxing in the Pool

Last weekend we travelled to Lauren's Grandparent's home. Glorious weather, and a chance for Lauren to splash about.
