Growing up, sewing and Valentines Day

Well what a busy week its been. The boys are growing up so fast, just look at this grown up pose from Lachlan as he looks on at what older brother is doing...

So precious! We have also been playing Durak, the boys love it. For those of you who don't know it, its a russian card game I've been playing ever since I can remember!  The 3 of us played an open handed game.

  

 The kids have been enjoying their pretend games with their Christmas toys.

Power Rangers and Lego Hero Factory go to battle!

The old favorite wooden blocks are always a winner as well.  The long skinny pieces are Lochy's wooden art work from when he was at Kindy.  Gav loves making up new games and Loch finds them so much fun. 

I have been slowly working on this little guy you see below.  I am pretty happy with him so far, just a couple of eyes and a flower and he'll be just right.   Ah, I'll bet you are confused.  Plus I need a blue one too.  Not to worry, I'll get there and all will be reveled.  I also made something else for a certain someone else but I dont want to spoil the surprise with a premature posting so I will have to show you next week.  I am rather proud of it.

 

Then of course there was Valentines Day.  We had chocolate heart cup cakes (not shown) take away Thai (YUM) a gorgeous nighty from a thoughtful husband and a handmade heart.  I couldn't ask for a better day.  They boys also took in some yummy chocolate hearts to school to give to classmates and teachers.  Gav was all smiles at pick up.  Unfortuntely Lochy's were forgotten in the school fridge so we will just have to eat them up at home...a treasure hunt perhaps.

 

 

 Gav's room is still bare floors and we are still in limbo waiting to fix it up.  In the mean time the boys have been awesome sharing a room together.  Its a bit hard though sharing a room and starting school (too tempting to stay up late chatting and playing together) so we plan on taking the winter living room rug and putting it in place of the carpet and giving Gavin his own space again until its all sorted out.

 

Hope you all had a great week!  Look for number seven portrait on Sunday!  I am trying out bigger writing.  I hope you like it.  Cheers
