Toaster oven

Nick is becoming more independent. Microwaving his own food. Today he tried  to warm up his pizza in the toaster oven. Plate and all. 

Sleepovers

Two sleepovers this weekend knocked Nick out. 

Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays! Hope they are full of treats and naps!!

Halloween

Oops. A few months late in publishing these. May I introduce the Black Phantom and the Little Mermaid. 

Hot Dogs with Dad

French Fireman

One morning on our way into town, we got stuck in a crazy rainstorm. Kids were screaming, I got flustered adn missed out turn back to the boat. A mess. Rani got us under cover, only to find out we were under metal poles. Luckily, a local fireman heard the commotion and came out to save us. Offered us his house, towels, wine and treats. A quick tour of his house confirmed that I was meant to live in France.

Looks scary, but still busting out her "head to the side and smile" pose...

 

Little P is learning how to lie. Some recent conversations:

After finding a lock of hair in the hall:

H: Agh! Did you cut your hair?

P: No, Wil did.

H: Wil cut his hair?! OMG - why didn't you tell one of us and why hasn't his mom called me?

Later that day and another BIGGER lock of hair found:

H: DID YOU CUT YOUR HAIR? Wil has a crewcut - this isn't Wil's hair!

P: Wil cut my hair.

H: He cut your hair??!!! Why didn't you tell me?!

P: I cut my hair.

After P pulled a was of bills out of her purse:

H: Where did you get that money?

P: Pop Pop gave it to me. I'll share some with Nick.

N: Woo hoo! She just gave me $10!

Later after opening up my wallet to find it empty:

H: Peri, did you steal my money?

P: Pop Pop took it from your wallet and gave it to me.

H: Pop Pop hasn't been here for three weeks. Did you take my money.

P: I needed some money.

Lesson learned - Peri will throw anyone under the bus to get out of a lie.
