Lookin' Good

Yesterday we were heading out to a wedding and this is one of the rare times that I wear a suit. Campbell was impressed so he said "Hey Dad, you look smiffy". Harrison corrected him in the way that only older siblings can and said "No Campbell, its sniffy".

When the Student becomes the Master

Campbell and Harrison were wrestling on their new trampoline, when Harrison exclaimed "OK. No more wrestling!". Campbell who had enjoyed the upper hand retorted with "Just because I'm better than you!"

Harrison the French Pirate!

Overheard during a car trip
Harrison:"Bon Voyage Me Hearties"
Chris and I cacked ourselves.

Ding Ding

One morning, Christine was busy trying to prepare Campbell for school when I decided it was time for "Wrestling Time". At the mere mention of this, Campbell swung into full wrestling mode, and before I knew it, despite my earnest attempts to prevent it, Campbell had genuinely pushed me off the bed. I landed with an undignified thud on the floor. I got up, defeated, licking my wounds, and Campbell victoriously cried out "Ding! Ding!". He was ready for round two!

Tasmania & Victoria Holiday

Here is an approximate itinery for our Tasmanian and Victorian Holiday.

Weekend at Stephen & Michelle's

It wasn't quite like Bernie's as in there was no-one who death we were trying to cover up

Rather, it began with getting away late (as per usual), and a really yummy roast dinner was well-received upon arrival.
The Kangaroos put on a good display to come from behind to beat the Kiwis 20-15. Well done chaps. Chris and Michelle researched cubby houses online and found them to be a little expensive. Perhaps we should just convert an old caravan.

We then played Poker, 500 and Yahtzee (none of which was kind to me and Stephen delighted in this fact) and hit the sack around 2:30am

Even in sadness some laughter

My children were coming to grips with the tragic death of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. Harrison said through his tears, This is the saddest thing I've ever seen on National Nine News.

RIP Steve, we all loved you.

The Olden Days

I told Harrison that When I had my first computer, it didn't have a mouse.
He responded with That's because you were in the olden days.
Nice!

Grey's Anatomy

It had been a while since the last decent sleeptalking, when one night after a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy, Christine came out with Hey guys, what's O'Malley doing up there?

Does he eat 9????

Harrison is quite the weet-bix eater and he was examining the box we bought during the height of Australia's Soccer love-in. Recently he has upgraded from 2 to 3 weetbix, and feeling pretty proud of himself, we he exclaimed Wow! Does he eat nine?. If nothing else, Tim Cahill will inspire Harrison to eat more weet-bix.
