First Days

Here was our week of a few firsts.

Jetts first day at Kindy and on the same day Chases first day at Preschool.

(Stone wanted to get in on the picture)

Big Kindy student.

Chase the big Preschool student (not really Preschool but the three year old program that they run)

And here we are at school just about to walk into our classroom, Kinder Yellow.

And of course I had better add a picture of the 'Stone Man' and someone on Facebook called him. :)

You are just too cheeky.

Besides the firsts I went back to work this week too and MAN it has been a hot week. 40's all week with high humidity. Just exhausting!

Change of Blog

OK. I have changed our blog to thehouseofmusicalbeds.blogspot.com.

See you there.

I would have stayed here if I could work out how to change the name..... ANYWAY....

Sleeping in a Box

Ok!! So I have worked out that I am pretty BAD at keeping up with this blogging thing. Sorry Jacqui, I definitly will get that recipe to you!!

I am TOTALLY going to blame work. Heaps of stress at the moment. BIG changes for next year and we are all trying to get our heads around it. Heaps of extra work which I am trying to get a start on so that I am not doing it all holidays!

So I am blaming that and the fact it is end of term (2 weeks to go!!YAY!!) and I am totally fagged out (he he.....funny saying)  Everyone is tired and cranky. Christmas parties have started and Paul has been doing some overtime too..... Yikes! CAN'T WAIT for holidays to do some creative stuff for myself. The list is endless of things I want to do.

Anyway a photo for Grandma.

The are so cute! And this wasn't set up. Chase just came and sat next to Jett and he put his arm around him. Even though they fight (their boys!) they do get along really well.

AND now the explaination for the title of this blog.

Paul's mum and dad got a new TV today and gave the box to the boys to play with. It is a plasma so the box is really skinny... Hardley enough room for anything. ANYWAY at lunchtime today when it was time for a nap (mum included although it didn't work out that way) Jett told daddy that he wanted to sleep in his box!! Paul indulged him (anything to get him to sleep) and set up a bed. NOW for claustrophobic me it is WAY too small and WAY too much like a coffin. But for Jett it was exactly what he wanted and proceeded to go to sleep. And sleep for 2 hours.

THEN when it comes to going to bed tonight he decided he still wants to sleep in his box. (Anything to get him to sleep!!) So i dragged it into his room and that is currently where he is.... sleeping in his box.....

Quote (when he got into bed) "OH MUM. Its SO comfy!"

Yikes!

The finished nappy... sort of

 

The Nappy has come along...... Please excuse the PEGS holding it together. I didn't want to put the velcro on because i didn't think it would fit. It seems to be a good fit. I need to make some adjustments over his butt! I extended the crotch because I didn't think it would fit but forgot to extend the material over the butt. Chase thought it was pretty good. He liked the pegs best!?!

So I will cut one out of flannel and go for gold. I need to get it right before I make one for my niece Caitlin (and one for her dolly!) 'cause my sister is very interested. She should be doing the prototype, your the Textiles Teacher sis!! 

  

This was the boys lunch on Tuesday. My Bento inspired lunchboxes. I usually pack hot food for them one day and salad for them the other day. Jett always eats his salad, Chase not so much. Chase always eats his hot food, Jett not so much. Jett is still going through his 'i don't like food' stage. ALTHOUGH last night after a roast dinner he managed to eat THREE vegemite sandwhiches. 

And lastly this is our latest pet, Dexter. He was given to us by some people at work. Paul is in LOVE with him. Buddy (our other snake) is feeling a little rejected. We were told Dexter was a Diamond cross Carpet python but Paul took him to a friends house and they decided that he is actually a Jungle Python. Apparently a rather good 'specimen' too!

I forget how busy the end of year is at work. This week alone I have had three staff meetings and I have another this morning starting at 8.00. Add in reports, swim school, organisation for next year and some finishing of assessments etc for this year and I really don't know how i get it all done. 

Hope you have an excellent finish to the week.
