Happy Easter!

The Easter bunny dropped by Chez Clements with a pile of choc loot. The monkey loves 'chockit' but was far more impressed with the pirate sword. Didn't stop him from scarfing down a kinder bunny after Vegemite toast tho.

I can't imagine he will get through his chocolate stash so I guess I will have to help?

Yawn! The things we mama bears have to do!

Easter hunt for the Little People

Today was a beautiful day for an egg hunt & lunch with friends. The little people got into the spirit of things running about the garden hunting eggs & treats - very cute

'Copters' rule

We headed out to the Southcare Helicopter Base yesterday to check out the open day & the 'copters'. The monkey LOVED it - lots of animals, reptiles, fire-trucks, balloons and of course copters. A little boys Disneyland!

Southcare do a fab job, so it's an easy thing to support their work. Even better when it involves a fun family day out. Nice one Southcare.

Relaxing later the boys had a couple of drinks (as you do) - thirsty work being out in the sun!

Oh and just coz it's so goddam cute (& features the much favored tiger beanie). Here's the monkey & waiting for his ride.

Freakin' cute!

The 'water pool'

Saturday mornings equal swimming lessons and while the monkey is prone to doing his own thing, some part of the repetitive lesson must be sticking. Yes he does seem to be 'getting it'.

Finally!

And he refers to swimming as the 'water pool' - cute huh?

We headed off to Tulips afterwards for brekky. Perfect as it has a play area for the little people. Nice one Tulips.

As you can see the tiger beanie is still running hot favorite for head wear :-)

Loving the tiger hat

The little dude got a new tiger hat this week. Suddenly it's his fave accessory and he wears it everywhere (see yesterday's post with him wearing a onesie & said beanie). It fluctuates between bring a lion or 'liner' in kid-speak, or tiger hat. They both involve a fair bit of roaring.

Pretty freakin' cute.

Miss Gracie came to visit today, and there was a point where they 'shared' toys and played nicely. Pictorial evidence that it actually happens. Ha!

Who doesn't love Mister & Mrs Potato Head?

Week in pictures

Work week is over again - yippee!

So it's time to hang out with the monkey - my favourite pastime.

Almost has to go into work today at Parliament House for the leadership-spill-that-almost-happened-but-there-was-no-challenger non-event.

Working for the media affords a certain amount of sarcasm.

Anyway back to fun stuff - hanging with the little guy, good coffee, working the onesie, princess Lola, & Titus - all good stuff!

Sunday session

We got up at the crack of dawn to go to the Canberra balloon festival but sadly the wind meant no flying - boo! Still the Lions Club does a pretty good brekky so we ate while the monkey entertained.

We did check out the Southside Farmers Market at Woden CIT, and were some of the first people there. Not as back as EPIC but still managed to fill our little trolley. Love a good farmers market!

Shopping done & dusted by 11am. Bit of a first for us.

The rest of the day was very productive as well - seriously you can achieve quite a lot when you get out of the house early!

Topped the day off with a glass of NZ's finest - nice.
