McDonalds, Lego and Super Ninjas!

The marketing machine isn't working... or maybe it is... it depends on who the machine belongs to.  When I was awake WAAAAY too early this morning I turned on some news and the ads came on so I tuned out but remained vaguely aware that there was a food ad on when Lion turns to me and says

Lion - "That's not true mum"

Mummy - "What's not true?"

Lion - "The burgers are better at McDonald's, not Hungry Jacks"

For those not aware, HJ's tag-line is "The burgers are better at Hungry Jacks".

I grabbed some clothes out for the kids to wear and since I didn't feel like searching too hard through the folding I haven't done I found a pair of soccer shorts and a batman shirt for Dragon to wear.  Wolf told Dragon he was going to wear Soccer shorts and Dragon replied that he didn't play Soccer,

Wolf - "Well, you are sporty, you run around and stuff"

Dragon - "But I don't play soccer"

Wolf - "But sporty people wear soccer shorts"

Dragon - "Like a ninja?"

Wolf - "um, yes, like a ninja"

Dragon - "I'M SUPER NINJA"

I've got a soft spot for photos of my kids sleeping but these next few shots are really special...

My kids don't fall asleep by themselves.  They each have a couple of times as babies but only by accident when they were wrapped and tricked into it.  Monkey had a cranky tummy so he had to get back up for a bit after he had already been put to bed.  I put him on the blanket in the lounge room with Wolf and went off to finish whatever I was doing while he wriggled and squirmed until he did a pop or a poop.  Wolf called me in because he had fallen asleep!

Just like that.  Squirmed his way off the edge of the mat and crashed.

He's so cute!

Speaking of cute, here's a video of another cute kid that we made for Nano and Pappap.

We hope you enjoy it Nano and Pappap.  Lion was so excited about his new Lego that he worked soooo hard for and he wanted to video it to show you.  I really didn't make him work all that hard... kind of... but that's another story for another day.

Oh, yeah, this also shows our current LSS (Lego Storage Solution) for you, Renata.  Problem is it wont work if he doesn't use it!  But it does solve the "Place for everything" we just need to master the "everything in it's place" bit.

Right now, I must resolve to stop writing blog posts so late at night so that my brain has half a chance of stringing a few simple concepts together when I do sit down.  I am doubtful that this makes much sense but that's really how our day rolls.

G'night.

By the way... Lion and Dragon were playing policeman and baddy this afternoon... the baddy was making a speedy escape... on a Lego segue...

Lion "Policeman" - "STOP, I said stop running away baddy"

Dragon "Baddy" - "NO, I am getting away from you! I am escaping on my segue, you can't catch me"

(both to be read in a really deep throaty voice)

My kids crack me up!

Kung Fu Ninja Boys

It's been a big day for posting today, but hey, I had some time off work and it was to soggy to mow the lawn so we stayed indoors today.

The boys have been watching the Kung Fu Panda DVD non-stop since Christmas (I think I came home one day to be informed by Mummy McT that the DVD was watched about 4 times that day, a good effort). I was expecting it to have an influence of the boys and for a few weeks now Lion's Charater of the Day has stayed constantly as 'Tai Lung' the show's antagonist while pronouncing Dragon as 'Po the Panda'. Well it all came to a head tonight when we watched Mythbusters, they were doing yet another Ninja Myths show and that was the start. Po and Tai Lung started attacking me Ninja Style and then Kung Fu style and then decided that if Po and Tai Lung could fight while flying then they could too... Mummy had to catch one in mid-air leaping from the bed while I caught the other. I finally channeled the energy into posing for the camera.
