Story time, Wilby & Natey style

Monday, January 16th, 2012
(Ignoring the pink) the two younger boys enjoyed sharing a book together.
Wilby alternated between reading the baby book (with his own words)
and telling Natey Noo “I love you”.

Look what we got with our Target vouchers Nonna!

Jeremy carefully looked through each isle until he found a helicopter
set… It was as close as he could get to the one he’d seen flying at
a stall we passed on the way  With $10 to spare, Jeremy also got a
magnetic Match Box car

William, although distracted by many shiny things, never wandered far
from the cars isle… With some support from Mummy, he happily settled
on a Cars bus (aka “the other Mack”) to put his McQueen cars in 

Thanks Nonna, we had lots of fun picking our toys!

In a frenzy of Xmas paper, we wished Ben happy birthday

Sunday, January 15th, 2012
Ange & Grandpa’s mad shopping dash the night before made for a few
successful surprise presents: a Kindle case w light, a child friendly
iPad cover & a sick album (in the words of a JB sales assistant).

The kids played in the park & the big people drank coffee. The kids
ate dotty cookies & the big people drank coffee. Nathaniel had a milky
morning tea & the big people drank coffee. All in all a casual morning
out enjoyed by everyone.

Returning home, Ben tested his new covers out while Nate slept.
