Exciting Day on Baker Ave

October 31, 2009 · 2 Comments

We had a very special delivery today – a new swing set for the boys. Finn hadn’t a clue what it was – a well kept secret. This picture is taken when “the penny dropped” and he realized what was in all the boxes!

I love this expression

Finn and Leo wearing their Michaelmas capes. Finn’s class dyed theirs with onion peels and I think Leo’s class did them with marigolds. They are beautiful = rays of sunshine.

“I give you this cape of light, to give you courage, strength, and might”

Mr. Leapy is blissfully unaware, most of the time, of what he has been through this week (unlike his Mummy and Daddy!)

Donncha Laughy

October 26, 2009 · 3 Comments

We had some fun tonight. Finn was making Donncha laugh so hard – it was amazing. Videoing the boys in the bath is a little difficult when I’m on my own…but the laughtrack is pretty awesome.

Finn is firmly in the “baby toys are more fun that 4 year old toys” stage – and Donncha is starting to catch on

Laundry basket is as good a place as any to have a chat on the phone

Donncha’s favorite toy – the bathroom cabinet. Keeps him happy!

Given how long we’ve had the doorway jumper up, I’m surprised it took this long for Finn to try it out!

He has inherited my love of mutsus!

He looks so little compared to the enormous apple!

Donncha and I sat this one out (actually, nursed this one out!) but the boys and Kristen loved that crazy bus!
