We've got the look

A week ago our homeschool group was planning a clean up day in one of the local parks. We were going to take rubbish bags and gloves and go and tidy they place up a bit. Unfortunately it was scheduled for what was supposed to be one of the hottest days of the year with an extreme UV warning...

9am:
Mummy McT: "The park activity has been cancelled because it's too dangerous to have all the kids out in the sun cleaning up the park."
Boys: "Awww, it's okay, we would just drink lots of water and we'd be fine"

10am:
Mummy McT: "Time to hang out the washing, boys"
Boys: "But mum, it's too dangerous to be outside doing stuff like that because it's so hot"
Mummy McT: *stares them in the eyes* "drink some water"

They know the Mummy Stare... unfortunately some of them have adopted it into their own repertoire of smart-a**ery and can deliver a killer comeback with a deadpan face and eyes locked on their target.

I'm sure it was passed on by genetics and is not a learned behaviour... nope, that one just couldn't be helped... now lets just pray they use it for good and not evil.

Monkey knows the power of a well timed look

Bring on the rain!

Winter has gone and summer is here.

Bring on the rain I say.

Did you notice there was no spring?

We dont get autumn either.

364 days of Summer!

I got sweaty yesterday just doing nothing.

I doubt you needed to know that.

I cant wait for the rain to start.

I forgot to turn on the sprinkler again yesterday.

We would do really well with water restrictions.

We always forget to water on our days so we wouldn't notice if we couldn't.

Glad we dont have them though.

The boys love playing in the hose.

I cant find a photo of them playing in the hose that I havent already posted elsewhere.

Mum has mangoes on her tree.

We have blossoms.

This is our baby Lion with our baby mangoes 2 years ago.

I think I've rambled enough for now.

I'm getting my hair cut this afternoon!!!
