Undies Don't Go On Your Head!

"That's Gross. Quick, take your undies off your head" was part of my morning conversation with Brandon. Intriguing start to the day. Today Brandon was cheeky. Actually he was super cheeky. Bailey was a good boy but super destructive. Just a normal day in the life of 2 little boys.

Travelling to Bunnings again today made me realise that's it's actually been 1 week since we were last there. Normally I would have been at least twice. We were off to enjoy art and craft for the under 5's again. It was very busy. All these mum's have discovered it. Must be because it's fun and it's free. Today we all made coloured paddle pop stick boxes with lids. It started off as an activity for Brandon but then it turned in to mummy art and craft. Brandon lost interest today and so I finished it off. The Christmas decorations at Bunnings are pretty interesting, especially for a 3 year old.  We wondered around for awhile and then jumped back into the car and drove to Kmart.

Straight to the kids bike section to lay-by 2 big boy bikes. Santa was going to pick them up but daddy and I decided we might get them so the kids can enjoy them now. Their current bikes have seen better days and are now too small. We also bought heaps of gardening spades and rakes and also put on lay-by bike helmets.

Thought we should head home to refuel and refresh. I had purchased 2 advent calenders full of chocolate from Kmart for Christmas. In retrospect I shouldn't have, especially since it's several weeks to Christmas. Anyway let's just say that when I returned after 2 minutes from changing Bailey's nappy the chocolate advent calender was no more. Nor were the 25 chocolates! Check out the pictures.



For lunch I cooked up some pasta and cheese. It's Friday and I couldn't be bothered going food shopping so I cooked up what we had left and the boys love Parmesan cheese. This is how Brandon and my lunch conversation went, once he had come out of his room from eating the chocolate.

"Mummy, I'm running out of chocolate.
Will you be eating lunch with us today?
Oh yes,yes,yes. See mummy juice in my pasta. (He just tipped 1/2cup OJ into his pasta)
I love juice in my pasta.
Well eat it up then.
I don't like lettuce.
It's not lettuce, it's freshly grown basil.
I don't like basil".

My immediate thoughts went like this:  Are you kidding me? You just put so much Orange juice in your pasta that it's now floating in your bowl and you're telling me that you don't like basil?
But I said " So you're not eating lunch today?
No I'm not hungry".

And off he went.

Today I learnt a lot about what Brandon likes to eat and not eat. I also learnt that Bailey loves you to build train tracks so that he can destroy them and have you build them again. Hopefully Brandon learnt that you can eat too much chocolate and that undies really don't go on your head.
