The Plant
byIt’s worth having a look at this post just to watch the vid of Tracey giggling back in 2003 🙂
WARNING. This video is not for the faint hearted. It looks like torture. Funny, funny torture.
A photo journal of the January 2013 flood in Gympie. We weren’t the worst hit in Queensland. As usual, the local community spirit, with people helping others, was heartwarming.
At first I didn’t realize what was going on: I just, all of a sudden, felt moist in my crotch. I looked down to find I’d wet my pants. This really surprised me because I made sure I went before I left home.
Earlier this week, Master21 and his housemates arrived home to find themselves in a bit of a predicament: they’d ALL gone out without their house keys. Being university students, the intellectual cream of youth, they’d also neglected to hide a spare key somewhere in the yard.
Surely, with seven kids, we are destined to have more parenting fails than people with, say, two children. Right? What is probably less forgivable is when we repeatedly make the same mistakes over and over again.
A funny thing happened on the way to getting the kids ready for the new school year. Tracey disagrees.
It seems my social awkwardness no longer requires me to be physically present.
When it comes to entertaining the kids, Tracey and I have similar approaches but our methods differ ever so slightly. She likes to get them building a sheet cubby house or making things. I like to turn on the telly.
An instructional video I found on Youtube, showing how Dad’s do ponytails 🙂
The kids up the road teach my guys about canine reproduction.
I’m in for a cruisy weekend – Tracey’s away so all I have to look after are the kids. It’s great in theory.
Given Miss9’s broken leg we’ve been stuck on Home Detention, but yesterday the kids get out on parole. Briefly.
I use my head to solve the mystery of where are all the toys I usually step on at bedtime.
Here’s what KIVA has to say about itself – “We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world.”
