Switching the kids rooms
Today was spent swapping the kids rooms. The Kid had the bigger room with built in wardrobes across one wall and a small desk alcove. Bamm-Bamm had a slightly smaller room but no built in storage. We flipped them. We’d been thinking about swapping for a bit, the games cupboard was getting a mess and…

Haircut 🧒🏼
Much like his dad, Bamm-Bamm has hair that grows at a silly rate and ends up with a slight curl. We decided to get it cut after nursery since his sister was getting her hair cut in town. We went to Magic Scissors in Lochee, been here a few times now and the lads are…

I’ve seen a bunch of reactions to the movie, mainly positive on the content and some negative on the editing aspect. I didn’t have any problem with the editing but that’s just me. As for the story line, I really…

Another Mapominoes game
Chris was over for dinner so this normally means one thing. Mapominoes. We did all ours sets. Europe, The Americas, Asia & Australasia, and Africa. A wild Iceland appears Chris won, even unexpectedly for him. I still think starting with a third of four combined packs we need more than 5 Transit cards each. And…

LEGO Police station
Here, didn’t post this amazing police station that Benj & I made on Monday! We built it ground up. He is almost accepting my explanation of brick placement to ensure walls are secure. “Dad, the colours don’t match!” Also, the backdoor at the top – “people can just walk up like this…and then…weeee fall in!”…
