Bushy...at last!

Lured by a generous wedge of a peanut butter and jam sandwich, Bushy finally consented to having her picture taken up close....isn't she beautiful?

Movie time...

Savannah had chosen a movie gift card from her door prize at our community BBQ last week and felt a strong *need* to go and see a movie right away - she's never been to a movie theatre before - so we were limited as to the options for viewing. The only kids movie available was Wall E which I'd heard some interesting things about. So off we went. Unfortunately it wasn't to her taste so we left after about 40 minutes. Instead, she and Brandt headed off to Blockbuster to rent a couple of more interest. They came home with Snow Buddies and the Simpsons Movie. Savannah has taken to joining her dad in watching the Simpsons and has become quite a fan....and Brandt has been wanting to watch the movie for ages.
A bowl of SmartFood and a cup of berry juice and they were set....
Eventually Savannah lost interest in that one too and wandered down to join Sebastian and I in the playroom for the Lion King II and a game with the jungle animals leaving Brandt to guffaw on his own...;}

Movin' on up...

Sebastian started test-driving big sisters bicycle today....he's tried before but couldn't get the hang of pedalling forward to start - on his trike he tends to back-pedal for momentum but of course on the bike, back-pedalling is the brakes. BUT...he felt the *need* to try again and to his great Joy has now got the hang of it! And his birthday is coming up so perhaps its time to upgrade from the trusty old tricycle.

Note of gratitude to Savannah for graciously allowing us to put the pedals and training wheels back on while Sebastian found his way....
