Playing with trains all day is dirty work!
The results of the half-expulsion of Miro's cumquat tree
Is more Matai- naughtiness,
Opportunistically enjoyed by a sticker-rich Miro.

At Paint n Play
Mummy suddenly realises
That Lowan is not where she left him
Under the great coloured parachute.
He is instead tucked protectively
On Miro's loving lap.
23 September 2012
Because it's such a beautiful Sunday
We decide to have a family outing
For the first time in a loooong time.
Miro delights in playing at the playground;
Seeing pirate ships and chatting with Papa and Tai;
Cuddling Lowie in front of the Endeavour.
22 September 2012
The old Randall table emerges
To sweet memories for Mummy ~
It's the perfect table for hungry boys!
21 September 2012
Miro is so completely proud
To have a little gift and fragrant yellow rose
For his beloved teacher Sarah on her birthday.
20 September 2012
Miro tries to tell Tai to help pick up the toys in the garden,
Or failing that, to come and put his pyjamas on...
But all Matai wants to do is keep playing!
19 September 2012
Georgie and Vicky bring a delicious gateau
That is devoured in - literally - seconds.
18 September 2012
We go for a lovely walk with Nanny around the neighbourhood today.
Miro and Tai get their first comic book, a Tom and Jerry one,
And we eat chippies in the playground under the shade of gums.
We also bounce on Nanny's pristine bed!
17 September 2012
When we visit Nanna at the Toaster,
Matai suggests a bubble bath...
And what a bath!
16 September 2012
Painting with watercolours,
Miro holds the paper in his hands
To create his masterpiece.
12 September 2012
At the end of a long noisy day
All Grumps wants is some music and wine.
All Miro wants is someone to explain to him plans!
9 September 2012
The problem with running your trains down the middle of didgeridoos
Is that they always get stuck in the middle!
7 September 2012
Trying to get the boys to stop running in Toad Hall
Is like asking ten foot waves to crash gently on the shore.
6 September 2012
Even forgetting to put on clothes!
It's fervent playtime
With Thomas, Percy, Belle and Diesel 10.
5 September 2012
Today Miro is curious about how we might climb the palm tree
And we talk about how islanders shimmy up using the soles of their feet.
We try but it's impossible for us!
So we have to content ourselves with the boys' favourite tree in 'The Jungle'
3 September 2012
A spot of cooking
Between Octonauts and Peppa Pig play
At Archie and Rosie's house.
31 August 2012
Miro's beloved teacher Sarah gives him her teddy Freddie
To take on all sorts of adventures for the rest of this week.
He starts his time with our family by supervising the big boys' bath
And making sure to avoid any untoward splashes!
29 August 2012
Confusedly
But excitedly
Both feeding, and chasing,
The birds on our impromptu picnic
With Vicky in Jubilee Park.
After, there's lamingtons!
27 August 2012
Din's birthday!
Chippies for lunch
And swamped by little brothers
In the garden after...
26 August 2012
Begging for cake and chocolates at Brendan's weekend back from the Army...
And later, photobombing the family picture!
24 August 2012
Miro shows great leadership and collaboration skills today
As Mummy watches him and his friends -
Leo, Cormac, Peter and Henry -
Create a "Dinosaur World"... with stairs!
Miro is so happy to be with his friends,
Creating something together, and deciding on the best courses of action.
After, the boys have a photo together
Before Mummy reads 5 books to the clever kids
As part of the preschool Book Week.
22 August 2012
King and Queen of the world,
Sitting on top of L'Estrange playground
Eating Vegemite on Saos;
Feeling the budding summer in the skies.
21 August 2012
Miro's sad face
When Our Friends The Birds,
A sweet little magpie family of five who frequent our garden,
Are consistently scared away by Matai.
But later, we all snuggle up on the hammock
And all is forgiven!
19 August 2012
During our Complete Life Cleanup
We discover last year's Christmas present
That never really made a splash
Suddenly greatly appealing to both Miro and Matai
As they moan into the mouthpiece.
Putting crumby spittle in the holes.
