My kid must be allergic to water or soap or maybe both. I can’t think of any other reason. She has the fun products to use in the bathroom. The bubbles for the bath or the shower gel when she’s feeling in a more grown up mood. Nothing is helping. I coax, I bribe, I yell, I barge in and …
Television=Awesome Dance Moves….. At Least In Our House

Is it Time for School YET? or Please Let School Start Before I go Insane
We’re on the countdown for school to start. We’ve been home 4 days and Miss Gremlin has asked me 15 times if we’re going supplies shopping yet. I can’t even begin to think about facing that.

Finding the Fun in Farmwork
Grand Master D especially but Miss Gremlin too, have been pestering me to let them split logs. I have avoided it because it can be dangerous, however at Uncle Glenn’s all the boys went out and felled a tree, cut it up and brought it back.

Shooting the S#!^ out of Stuff is a Bit Fun…
The weather cleared enough this morning to spend the day outside. Uncle Glenn arrived with his big boys, the C’s and a box of clays. Having had a little taste of shooting on the farm, the kids were keen to have a go. In previous years they were too small to be able to use the guns. This trip they …
Uncle Glenn Rocks…….

After the BBQ he took them out in the back block and taught them how to drive. They won’t forget this trip any time soon 🙂 …
