...Serious Super Hero Business.

So Boo went to a friends superhero party, where he was transformed from a normal little boy, into an ACTUAL Superhero.
He took his duties very seriously, and did not take off his cape or eye mask for anything.

He ate his dinner in it, went to the toilet in it, asked to sleep in it...
And I promised I would make him fly.

So this is for you Super Boo.

And for superhero's everywhere.

...Time for the Tooth Fairy..

Dylan has had this particular wobbly tooth for approximately... a hundred years.
No amount of munching apples, or vigorous wobbling, or crunching carrots was working, It just refused to come out.
But hurrah! A little bit of twist-pull action tonight and bang! It's Tooth fairy time.

The bit I love best?

Around 6.30am when a Dylan comes skidding into our room shouting "Shes beeeeeeeeeeeen! She's beeeeeeeeeeeeeen"!
It never gets old. :)

...Popcorn.

So after we got our kiddos off to bed tonight, The Beautiful Hairy Man and I ordered a takeaway, put a movie on, and did exactly nothing except laugh, talk and eat. We ate pizza and chicken wings and warm popcorn, snuggled in a blanket, and chilled like we've never chilled before.
Ahhhhhhhhh.
Just what I needed.

...Art Installation.

Doing a cheeky bit of late night Christmas shopping tonight, leaving two pairs of little peeking eyes at home with their Dad, and I passed this gorgeous sculpture on the bus on my way to the shops.

I double-backed on myself to investigate, and found it was the other side of a big ol railing, with a bush infront of it.
So I had to scale a wall to take this photograph. :)

THAT'S how much I like it.

....Winter Wonderland.

Me and mine, wrapped up warm and set off to Hyde Park today on an adventure to find Santa, and check out Winter Wonderland.

Had a ball on the rides, ate warm pretzels, found the man, wandered the Christmas Market, and went home with very tired little people. 

Loved it.

... We Need To Talk About Kevin.

We had to go to the pet shop today, and Boo, who really really wants a goldfish for his birthday, was excited to have a look. He was really happy with the idea of a little orange goldfish...

Until he saw Kevin.

Now, he wants Kevin.

 ...Reindeer's.

Okay, so it's not exactly Christmas yet. 
But it must be around about the right time for an excited fool to start thinking about our Christmas cards this year...
So then it's definitely time to be looking for antler shaped twigs...
And there's never a wrong time to encourage your kids to be Rudolph the reindeer for a few sweet minutes.

...Geek Chic.

So I absolutely, definately, was not going to use either of my chiddlers for my 365 project today. Cute as they may be..
But then Boo decided to bust THIS look out, and when you have a face like this looking at you from across the kitchen counter..?
I defy anyone NOT to pick up their camera.

Okay...I failed.
But I can live with that. :)

...ZZzzzzz.

I'm loving these little wooden Z's and have been dying to sneak into the room and take the shot that's been in my head since I put them up on the wall a week ago.


Night Night, Sleep Tight,
Don't let the bed bugs bite,
If they do,
Get your shoe,
Kick them out!
In the night.

...Magpie.

This magpie is everywhere I go.
He doesn't follow me, like all the woodland creatures follow Snow White..
He doesn't sing while he assists me in making my bed or drawing the curtains in the morning.
That would be great if he was a little cartoon bluebird created by Disney, but he is NOT.
He is UNLUCKY.
One for SORROW.
And he seems to have targeted me.
Everytime I open the back door, he's there.
He hops along the back fence, or flies over my head
He's there when i glance out of the window.
EVERY DAY.

Now, I'm a superstitious old fool, and it's starting to freak me out.
I'm forever saluting this little fella and asking him how his missus is, so I thought it was time to photograph him.
Maybe thats what he wants.
Maybe now he'll leave me alone.... :)

...Fireworks and all the Fun of the Fair.

The small human beans have been at their lovely Nana's for the most exciting sleepover in the world while we were away at a wedding this weekend, so I was very happy to see their little faces again today when they came home. I missed those little choochies, and they owe me at least 10 hugs each by now..
I'm here to claim those hugs. :)

We bundled ourselves up and went to a fireworks display where we oooh-ed and ahhhhhh-ed like the seasoned pro's we are, wandered around the funfair, ate some giant hot dogs and did not win a goldfish..or a giant panda.

And we managed to hide our hangovers quite well I think. :)

... Make up

I've been mooching around the house for a couple of days now, being ill, frightening small children with my face sans make up, wearing The Beautiful Hairy Mans PJ bottoms and generally feeling a bit sorry for myself.
Enough!
Time to dunk myself in a bubble bath and put some make up on. Hell, I might even get dressed. :)

...Poorly Me.

I feel like the little wheezy penguin left on the top shelf in Toy Story today. What was his name?
Ah yes...Wheezy The Penguin.
That's the fella.
I've gone and got myself a horrible little chest infection, and am feeling all sorts of shabby, so am not at work and am snuggled up in my nest with trash mags and books to keep me busy.
Feeling very lucky to have 3 gorge boys to look after me. The little ones keep bringing me different teddies to love, and tucking me in, The big one is doing everything else.
Love 'em.
Here's hoping that your lungs are behaving themselves nicely today, and that Thursday treats you with the love and respect you deserve.  ; )

This is the path leading to the sweetie shop.
The kids always say it looks like thousands of teddy bears.
