LuLu has been practising her skipping today although, I think there was way more giggling than skipping. We had loads of fun!

Fun with the Waters - Day 3
Playing in the 'fort'
Well this is what the kids did with their plastic play equipment. They gathered it all together and made their own 'fort'. William was the bad guy running around after them with his gun (the big red plastic thing he's holding) and everyone else (including the girl from next door) ran away from him and hid in the fort for safety.
Every now and then the good guys would shoot the bad guy and there would be a dramatic death scene. I don't know where he learned it from but William's dying act is quite good. He drops his gun, staggers for a few steps, collapses to his knees and falls on his back will his arms and legs spread. He continues to act dead even when the others come over to check if he's dead. This however, is when he jumps up and starts chasing them again. This is also when the screaming and squealing begins again.
I'm glad I'm taking the time to see what is fun in the Waters' house. A week ago I would have missed that game because I was "too busy".
Fun with the Waters - Day 2
This is for yesterday as I didn't get around to posting it.
You're probably wondering what this is? Well it's the back end of Leah's guinea pig Fairy. The kids have discovered their guinea pigs again and were playing with them. They were having a great time feeding them and holding them and then they had the idea to put grass in the cup holder of the folding chair. The guinea pigs, Fairy and Fluffy, promptly dived in after it and all that could be seen were two little furry bottoms. The kids thought it was hilarious. It was! And from underneath, through the mesh, all you could see these little squashed guinea pig faces. I'm not sure if the guinea pigs thought it was funny, but they kept getting back in there!

Although I am so very far away, Mum still comes to my rescue!
Thanks Mum - I wouldn't have gotten through the day without you.

Fun with the Waters - Day 1
This is what the kids had fun doing today. We decided to make chocolate cupcakes and they helped me clean up. Hang on, maybe they were just getting as much of a "taste" as they could.
I have to post 2 pictures as this is how they didn't help clean up!
I had to remember that they were having fun and not worry about how messy they were getting. It was fun for me too. Watching them enjoy the simple fact of licking the bowl. Oh to be young again and be so easily pleased.

our family photo
So i know it's been a while since christmas but here is the family photo that we took.
I can't believe that there is so many of us. Or that we were all able to get into the one photo!
DAY 8
A quiet moment with just me and Avy.
A shocking photo I know but it was that very moment that I was appreciating and that was just how it ended up being captured!

DAY 7
Delicious home made pumpkin soup for lunch on a freezing cold day.
Well, I have made it through my 7 days of gratitude and I have to say that I have really loved it - so much so that I think I will keep on going. I hope you don't mind hearing from me still!
