How Far Can I Throw My Food?

 I am positive that this is one of Bailey's predominant thoughts for the day, particularly evident at big meal times. Bailey has the principle down perfectly that a lot of the time you can just see him go - What direction should I aim my food in today? I am convinced that he also thinks- Who should I aim my food at? How much of it can I get on them before they get cranky? Once my first target has moved off who then is next? Should I try 10 metres, 15 metres or just aim straight for that wall so I get to see the full impact? Yoghurt looks great with sausages let's put the 2 together and just chuck. Lucky Dip as to who and what I get.

So this is how our day goes all day everyday, especially now that Bailey has discovered the taste for food. Most days I am positive that sometimes all I do is prepare food  for the 2 boys, serve it up, and then clean it up off the floor. I know that Bailey will grow out of it, but if only someone would tell me when.

We discovered a new hairdresser last week so the 2 boys and I walked over to the next street for their appointment. The lady has a home based business with a really great setup. It took us 2 minutes to get there. The boys met the hairdressers little boy so they thought it was great. Made their next appointment for another 3 weeks and home we walked.

2 minutes later we arrived home. Refuelled boys, packed bags for the day and off we went. Had to drop off half a tree of signed paper to the lawyers- mission accomplished. Back in the car we drove out to a Kindergarten to grab an application form. I just keep calling it an entry form. I had spoken to a lady from the kindergarten this morning and she had mentioned that if we included $10.00 with our entry form we would be considered more highly. I felt like I was bribing the poor official as I put my $10.00 into the envelope and put it into the locked letterbox, unsure if we were even going to get a spot or if we even wanted a spot. But I had been ringing kindergartens for some time now and no-one had spaces. I didn't want this opportunity to pass by. We ended up being invited in to the kindergarten and both boys jumped at the chance. We stayed there for over 1 hour. Pretty interesting.

Eventually rounded up the 2 boys and jumped back into the car and dropped into the shops. Had to go back to BIG W to exchange a book for Brandon. Checked Po Box and homeward bound we went.

Bailey slept for awhile which was nice. I was hoping Brandon would but that thought never materialised. We played, ate lunch and then we did some things around the house. Daddy home and being a Tuesday we need to stock up on food and essentials.  I worked while daddy and the 2 boys headed off back to the shops.

Once the boys were asleep for the night (hopefully) daddy and I began the clean up of all the destruction left behind by the kids, especially all that food.Wiping the walls, wiping the floors, and wiping ourselves. Ready for the new day tomorrow.
