Photos from round and about.
Lion and Dragon got bug catching kits with some more of the money they got from Grandpap and Nano for Christmas. We searched high and low for the nets and everyone was sold out so in the end Mummy put her thinking cap on and we went to the fishing section and found fishing nets and bought the ones with the smallest holes in the net. We got the catcher/dome/cage thingos from the junk shop. Dragon was at kindy when we got them so Lion and I went to a park near Grannysaurus house and hunted for bugs... that didn't want to be found. But he sure was a cute bug catcher!
While he was running around our back yard he told me "I'm going to catch some bugs with this net mum, but I wont catch any Eagles, they fly too high"
Glad to know that Lion, glad to know.
Eventually he caught a moth, butterfly, two stinkbugs and a praying mantis. Grannysaurus warned him that the praying mantis might eat the other bugs and he was fine with that but it had to be on his terms... I heard him whispering to the praying mantis "eat the stinkbugs, eat the stinkbugs".
It did try... it had a good go at one of the stink bugs but it got away. So it grabbed a moth. Lion watched in awe for the drive home as he got a front row seat for some "dinner theatre". He watched quietly then I heard "he...hehe... hehehe.... it's funny when he eats its head"
Later that evening he was playing around with it (outside) when he started freaking out... "my praying mantis got out...... ON TO MY AAAAAARRRRMMMMMMMMM...... IT'S GOING FOR MY HEEEEEEEEAAAAADDDDDDDDD"
Good thing Daddy helped, Mummy was too busy laughing to be of any use.

Daddy took some photos on another day when he was looking after them...
Lion's catch
Dragon's catch.
Good thing I wasn't home, I think.

Lion's artistic talent is blossoming! One afternoon they had been shooed outside to play and were drawing on the patio with chalk. Lion drew a picture of me!
After this he coloured my dress in pink and put a bunch of pink flowers in my hand! He made sure that he pointed out to me that he did the eyes beautiful just like mine, it had eyelashes like me and the hair was just like mine too.

Monkey likes to eat. Monkey likes to eat corn on the cob we discovered.
"My corn, you get your own corn, this one's mine... ALL MINE!"
I had eaten most of the corn off it before I gave it to him and he had a great time chomping away at the mangled cob.
Showing Daddy "Lookie Daddy, I've got cooooorn!"
That's pumpkin all over his face too. He loved his dinner that night!

This little girl lives on our BBQ. She's a bit sweet. She's also a bit fat... that's how you can tell she's a chick, the fat ones are always girls they say.

Lion and Dragon had a great time playing on the equipment dotted along the Strand when we went for a stroll one afternoon. Unfortunately none of the photos of Dragon were any good.
