Sock Monkey

This is Randall. I made him. It was the Saturday night project George had for us girls to do when we stayed at their place the other weekend. I didn't quite finish him that night, so I had to finish him here at home. I lost one of his ears for a couple of days, but happily found it and now he is a complete sock monkey. Cute, huh?
Wonder what George will have for us to do next time we stay at their place...

It is cold this morning. I didn't have the fire going because we are trying to save the wood for really cold nights and mornings. The heater had to do.
It doesn't seem to matter how cold it is and my 4 year old daughter wants to wear summer clothes. We go through this every morning. I have to send her back to her bedroom to find something warm to put on. Usually she grabs her pink, fluffy coat, but that doesn't stay on for long. Neither of them seem to keep socks or slippers on for long either. Do children really not feel the cold?

The First


It's Monday morning. We had such a lovely and relaxing weekend spent at our friends home in Pomona. I love that part of the world. Such a wonderful escape from the stress of everyday life. It's almost like having a weekender. A place to go and unwind and relax. We stayed home all day on Saturday, playing out in the sunshine in the backyard. The children had a wonderful time together, although the younger two do not get along at all. Never the less, it was bliss.
Sunday was spent at the park along Noosa River. Boat rides, playing in the sand and water, fishing, browsing the shops and cups of coffee with almond croissants were involved. Everyone had a great day. Being beside the water is so soul soothing. We didn't want to leave, but of course we had to pack the car and make the 2 hour trip home. Surprisingly, the kids didn't sleep on the way home.
Can't wait to do it all again.
