Artistry

Tyler loves to draw and write and becomes totally absorbed in what he is doing.

Easter Monday. My voice still sounds like I'm singing through a net curtain and I'm still grumpy that I couldn't sing at the Basilica yesterday. *pouts* Me me me me. So here's some Tyler to make you smile, after a bath, hamming it up for the camera:

Tomorrow Tyler heads off to Pop and Ali's where he'll stay until Sunday. I'm not sure whether Pop or Tyler will be the most tired by the end of the stay!

Easter Egg fun

Here are the clues Easter Bunny left Tyler on Friday. He loved reading them and going on the hunt so much that I ended up doing another set this morning. Talk about chocolate overload!

We also boiled up some eggs, drew designs on them with crayons, then dyed them. Unfortunately the eggs were all brown-shelled ones, so the dye wasn't as pretty as it should have been, but Tyler thought they were pretty cool.

Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny visited the Campbell-McLeod residence today. He left a neatly written note with easily-read clues (why waste the educational opportunity?!) on where to find eggs such as 'Look in the gumboot', 'Look on the piano', 'Look in the playhouse'. Tyler was quite impressed that the Easter Bunny knew how to write. He had great fun finding all the eggs and was very excited with his final find, a large chocolate Easter Bunny.

We had a lovely sunrise the other morning so I took a couple of photos:

The Ranfurly Shield. It's Ours.

A couple of the Southland Stags visited Sacred Heart school recently and bought the Log o' Wood with them. Look who has a death grip on it :)

If you click on the Cookie Muncher's Blog link at the left of the pictures, you will see a photo of Tyler and what he wrote when CM visited us.

It's been hot and muggy here, strange weather for Invervegas. Chris has traded in his dirt bike for a road bike (Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit) and so I am yet again a bike widow.

I went shopping today for Easter Eggs, buying sufficient to create an Easter Egg hunt for Tyler. I have written simple clues for him to read so he can find them.

Basking in the sun

Another glorious, blue-skies-light-breeze-in-the-20's day here and waddaya know - I'm home sick. Atishoo! Cough, cough, sniffle...you get the picture. Anyways, the animals thought it was just fine that I was home and could bask in the sun inside, rotating gently as the sun moved. Is this bliss or what?

Tyler stripped down to singlet and undies when he got home from school. Today's book is 'Little Lamb's First Drink'. I also got some video of him reading, and I will try and post that later.

Green is the new purple

So, yeah, I got bored with the other layout and colours and went for something a little brighter and fresher looking. Did you notice??
