making theoretical lemonade

Eli had to have some surgery in october, which meant a few visits to starship hospital... luckily for the kids, they have a fantastic atrium play area!

so lexi got to do some sliding-
pilot a space ship-
canoe down a river
even have a free carousel ride!!
(we happened to be there when it was being repaired, and needed testing to check that it was fixed!)

play with the playmobil hospital in pre-op
and cause chaos on discharge!

who said that going to a hospital had to be tedious or scary?!

MOTAT mischief

It all started very innocently...
until she crashed the plane...

It turns out they don't approve of underage pilots!
There was much hard labour involved-
until finally she made a break for it!

spring antics

september & october 09

being a cute wee model for her mummy's knitting-
continuing her reign as puzzle master-
quality time with abby-
more modeling in a new spring dress-
creating the world's biggest peghenge-
and raiding the lego stash-
playing at rocket park-
and starting to learn to read-
making biscuits with her brother-
and tent cities too-
watching Curious George on the 'big' screen-
and playing hairdresser-
spending time with eli-
and showing him how to paint-

having lots of lovely huggles-
and less lovely kisses too-

School Holidays

We've been up to all kinds of things this school holidays, and to start nowhere near the beginning....

Lexi's Rocket!
We made today it for the Stardome Recycled Rocket competition, though lexi just thinks that lots of kids are making rockets to display in the foyer ;-) Lexi's rocket has five main jets, and two auxiliary boosters which will be discarded after launch.

It also has a very happy & proud astronaut floating in the cockpit ;-)
wearing the striped rainbow uniform befitting his position-
then a quick dash to the stardome to drop it off-
with the compulsory Alexis Astronaut pic-
She disappeared while i was filling in our entry, and sure enough she was up the ladder patiently waiting!
