Blogworthy

Two things over the past day or so are blogworthy (according to me, so its rather subjective).

Btw, for all those who have asked, HotCheeks has settled in nicely to his school... isn't missing us, but is looking forward to home cooked meals because the meals there are somewhat 'basic'. He seems to have just grown up in the three weeks he's been there already!

Last night at the swimming carnival, in which he went in every possible event possible. Piddles was sick, so she stayed home and watched BamBam. Shoey and I spent a few hours with HotCheeks.

The converstation went on about school, subjects, weekend activities etc. At one point HotCheeks asked for a piece of paper and pen so he could write out a recipe for something he had cooked in D & T!!!

Anyway, to the blogworthy things:

1. HotCheeks mentioned in passing that he had lost a tooth. I asked him where it was he said he had lost it... further questioning and we find out that HotCheeks bought a green ball when he went shopping last Saturday. He then said on the way back to school in the school bus he transferred gum from one side of his mouth to the other and low and behold the tooth went with it... then he took the tooth (attached to the gum) out of his mouth, but he couldn't hold it because he was holding the ball, and the tooth fell on to the floor, never to be seen again. At this point, I said 'why didn't you put it in your pocket' and his reply was 'it wouldn't fit" to which I asked "why not?" and he said "because it was big and green and filled with air" ????????????HUH???? I was laughing so hard... "Chad, I meant the tooth"... duhh!!

Well, I thought it was funny!

Writing his recipe.

With his Dad.

2.As you all know, BamBam started at a new school this year. Our only concern is that the school is not fenced and he may obscond, as he is prone to do. His new teacher assured us that he would be supervised at all times and that wouldn't be an issue. So far so good. Yesterday when he came home from school there were several curious velcro patched on BamBam's school hat. Upon investigation, his communication book revealed the answer: "You may notice some velcro on Reilly's hat." (ya think?). "Its there so we can attach a 'play' hat to his hat so we can keep track of him at lunchtime because he's so busy". We had to laugh. We do wonder if they had a little scare and thought they lost him! We offered to send him in a bright coloured hat, but they rejected that idea when we were planning to send him t here... funny.

The velcro strips!
