Flipping the Top

AT LAST!!

Something momentuous to blog about heh, heh!!

Joseph has lost his first baby tooth...he's only been waiting all year for a tooth to get wiggly and fall out like everybody else in his class. It started feeling a bit loose last week and he's been working it hard out backwards and forwards (eewwww!) until last night after tea it finally gave up the fight! tiny little thing that it is! I came into the bathroom afterwards to find him grinning into the mirror at the gap in his teeth muttering 'At last, at last...!'

The tooth fairy did her duty last night...she was a rich one!! Two dollars!! (dang it was all I had in my wallet!!) You always get heaps for the first tooth and not so much for the following ones I've told him...in case next time all I've got is 20c!

In other news...of which there is none really! we are all fine, the animals are fine, the weather has been fine!! which has been fantastic for the holidays...first bit of rain today though....
The avocado tree is dripping with avo's again this year...spot who was sent up to get the ones at the top....
Everyone wave to the crazy guy in the tree....

Dad and the boys had fun making a teepee out of the plentiful bamboo we have around the place...Might have to try growing runner beans up some this year...the seeds we planted a while back are all sprouting away...they'll be ready for transplanting into the garden soon...we have had to fence off the vege patch properly from the goats...Lulu the wiley one soon figured she could smash down the temporary fencing we had around it...but it looks good now Jim has taken down some of the fencing between it and the house so it has become part of the garden as a whole rather than being just stuck out in the paddock.

The weather has even been nice enough for a spot of this on occasion...lol had to crop this pic to spare you the full frontal heh, heh!!

This poor old paddling pool finally gave in to a zillion little holes and we've since invested in a new one for the summer.

Scrapping wise there is a new Kiwi Jack up for the month so head on over for some home grown inspiration

Now lookee here Rae!! what is the meaning of this tagging me lol!! I've always managed to avoid this before or more acurately ignore this before heh, heh...sorry if you were one of the ones who have tagged me and I ignored it....but for the lovely Rae I will give a go...but later...will have to think up some suitably random answers first!
