Grandparents Day at school

With only a couple of days notice grandma was able to make it over for Grandparents Day at Caden’s school. So we all went to check out Caden’s classroom, he was colouring in a garbage man that G’ma helped him to cut out. The we got to have lunch with him.

Since I have taught myself crochet Tyler has been surfing the net with me with wants for things to make. We are slowly building up a menagerie of sea animals at the moment. Here are a few! We have a mama and baby turtle, 5 fishies, an octopus, a squid, a crazy hair dude, and not shown here is his mantaray, froggy and a couple of hand puppets too. He loves them they go everywhere with him. You might remember (or not) the blue hanging cocoon that I made a while back? well is is now the handy carry all of the animals. They have a special bed and everything. He checks every night that they are in their special shelf and lines them up every morning.

  The next on the list is a dolphin and a shark. I just have to print the pattern and away we go!

RElay for Life.

 

Suiting up as the cow!  

Riding Daddy as the big cow!

Thank goodness Tyler knew Daddy was the big cow as he wandered off to find him and I didn’t realise he was gone. One of the committee brought him back and said that he was looking for his Daddy the big cow and they had seen Daz get dressed up so brought him straight back. Yeah good parent I am!

At the end of the day after we went back.

A little bit of ordinary

I have been trying to still improve my photography but also start recapturing the ordinary again. I finally feel that my photos are turning a corner into ones that I like and I can start focus on content again. We looked after Gemma today and Tyler just adores her.While she was sleeping we had a look and find time wit Elmo and friends from sesame street.

 

Caden got to meet and cuddle her for the first time today!

Caden modelling the finger puppets that have captured my attention and interest lately.

Tyler has been really really into playdoh lately and ‘baking cookies’ He can sit there for nearly an hour completely occupied with his cutters and tray
