Master Confetti

Bailey is the king of destruction. He rips everything to shreds. He rips paper, cardboard, magazines, boxes and even tries anything plastic. For everything that he can't rip, he chucks. Because he throws so much all the time he has a really good arm. Today being Easter Saturday we all just predominately hung out at home so Master Bailey's trail of destruction was just phenomenal. Who needs a shredder when you have Bailey around.

Moving all Bailey's shredded paper from the floor and the lounge I can finally get to my computer. Bailey obviously didn't wear himself out enough making confetti today as he didn't get to sleep until 9:15pm. Way too late for a small boy in my view. Way too late for mummy and daddy to be trying to convince a small child to go to sleep in my view. Anyway, I ducked into Kmart this morning to meet up with the Easter Bunny to discuss the purchase of some Easter eggs. I was there a few minutes after 9am as the shops opened and by 9:15am as I was on my way out, The Easter egg aisles with the Easter Bunny were absolutely packed. People were shoulder to shoulder. I walked out with all my goodies.

The day just disappeared. The 4 of us briefly went up to the bakery to get some Hot Cross Buns and ended up with $32.00 worth of food. After we had devoured our food back at home daddy went out to the shops briefly to buy some new gym shoes and a laptop bag. I cleaned my car so that finally all Bailey's confetti that had gravitated to the car has been vacuumed up. The 2 boys and I spent the afternoon outside and the boys ended up in the mud.

The 2 boys, daddy and I went down to the park at the end of the street late this afternoon so the kids could ride their bikes. Brandon met another little boy at the park too and they played and played and ran and ran and rode and rode for an hour. Bailey joined them and little Brandon kept telling his new friend Oscar that this was his little brother. They were so lovely. Eventually we made it home and the chaos began again. Paper everywhere, toys everywhere, children everywhere. So now it's late and the 2 boys are finally asleep. I'll clean all the paper up from today only to probably have it replaced tomorrow. I wonder if Bailey will ever own a confetti factory.
