Hicksville is a 'state of mind'

When not dressed up as 'Green Day Rock Stars' the boys revert to something more comfortable.

[Hey Pa, when do we gets to shoot sumthink?]

Or Rock-a-Billy Country Stars.

[maa girlfriend left me and she took maa dawg, I really miss maa dawg…]

Sometimes we just like to make lots of noise. Screaming is so therapeutic.

[Ahh really miss maa dawg]

We like to wear overalls, because we can, not because we’re hicks.
[Hey Dragon, I fink ders sometink in maa teef]

Or suspenders if our undies won’t stay up.

[Yep, I think this look is really cool, if I could only get that fing outta maa toof]

We don’t wear shoes up here.

[why do ahh always get fings stuck in maa teef?]

Some times we will dress up and wear our Sunday Shoes.

All our machinery is HEAVY so we don’t take medication but we do use ear protection.
[I wonders if Dragon’s still screamink? Wow finally got that fing outta maa toof.]

We love playing in the dirt.

[Well looky here Paa, this was growin’ in our dirt, let’s feed it to the cows]

We get excited when the cows visit our place.

[Hey Pa, fire up the Barbie, it’s time fer us to shoot sumfink]

When it’s time to visit the big smoke, we dress up like real city folk.
[doya fink this hairdo is sharp enough?]

We don’t use cutlery, ever!

[mffphhfhmmm...]

When our kids ask us where babies come from we tell them the truth.

[So babies come from a shop? That's right Son, and ahh gots the bag and foe-toe to prove it.]

The shoes God wears.

Yesterday the boys and I were shopping and treating ourselves to a bit of morning tea. A man walked past the cafe and Lion noticed his shoes, this is the conversation that followed...

Lion- That man has shoes like nano and pappap.
Mummy McT- Oh yes he does, Pappap wears shoes just like that.
L- Yeah, he likes them, so does God.
MMcT- Does God like Pappap's shoes?
L- No, God wears those shoes too.
MMcT- Oh?
L- Yeah, but God doesnt live here.
MMcT- Where do you mean "here"?
L- God doesnt live at this shops. My sunday school teachers told me that.
MMcT- (now very confused) Can you tell me everything your sunday school teachers said about where God lives? (we are now completely past the shoe topic in case you havent noticed)
L- They said God lives in my heart.
MMcT- Yes he does, and he is everywhere so we can pray to him whenever we want to can't we? (something we have been talking about a lot lately)
L- Yeah. And he wears those shoes like that man and like nano and pappap. (okay, so we werent completely off that topic)

I think this shoe focus may have come about because we were buying a new pair of shoes for Dragon. Last week we were going to playgroup in the park (we often have a special playgroup on the holidays in the park so that big brothers and sisters can come) and we decided that was the day we were going to put Dragon up into the next size clogs which happened to be lion's previous pair. Well, Dragon lost them at the park. I looked everywhere for them, they did not want to be found.

We have hunted around for some in Dragons size and couldnt find any but yestrday I remembered Cotton On Kids has them about as cheap as they come. In we went, I steered Dragon away from the pink ones and let him pick some, he wanted silver, I tried to offer him blue. This shade of blue, that shade of blue, maybe even green... he wanted silver. So now we have a pair of metalic silver cloggs. I'll get a photo of them eventually. They certainly attract attention to his feet.

shoes

I wanted to find a specific pair of shoes for a friend to loan while they go to the icy cold weather of a melbourn winter. I dragged out every pair of hand me down shoes I could find and this is what I ended up with. The shoes I wanted weren't even here!!! Dragon has a bit of a thing for shoes, he would wear shoes all day if I let him, if he's not wearing shoes he will find some that have been taken off by someone else, your shoes are never where you leave them so I am still hunting...

Bare Feet

I (mummy McT) did the "what kind of shoe are you" quiz that I saw at our aussie half-dozen who saw it at simple beauty who saw it at cherdecor.
I am bare feet. That should be no surprise. If I don't NEED to wear shoes, I just wont. Most times these quizes are pretty far off when I get the results, but I think this one was fairly spot on. I think Wolf would agree with it, my shoe-less feet frustrate him at times.

Unfortunately the heading background is exactly the same colour as our background so it's really hard to see, I don't know how to change that.

You Are Bare Feet

You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down. Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times! You are very comfortable in your own skin. You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide. Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic. You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental. You should live: Somewhere warm You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules
