It’s Thursday night and I’m frantically typing this week’s post like a racehorse because tomorrow morning we head out to the Big Roundabout to visit my folks.
As much as I love going back to my hometown…getting there is always a drama.
And each time I say I’m going to be better organised next time – I never am.
Hence, sitting here *ahem* blogging away while I still have a stack of packing to do !!!
Anywhoooo…on with the show ! Joining Shae at Yay For Home! for “Things I Know”
– Going to K-mart at 8:30pm on a Wednesday is a shopper’s paradise. No crowds, no annoying long queues at the cash register and there is plenty of EVERYTHING ! (No, this post has not being sponsored by the Big K…)
– These $5 puppets have been “The Bomb” ! The twinlets didn’t care much for soft toys beforehand but they now have new-found furry friends. There’s lots of kisses and cuddles for “Tiger” and “Monkey” in particular.
– The only way to keep your sanity when reading the “That’s Not My…” series over and over and OVER again to your book-crazy sons is to do it with a foreign accent. Seriously. Especially a Japanese one: “Za-tsu mai tu-rakku ! Eetsu tip-paaah izu sooo ridgggeeee !!!” Finally ! All those years studying the language and living there have come to good use.
– Having a 23 year-old Gen Y nephew keeps me on the “cool edge”. He was the one that first introduced me to FaceBook (Although the actual addiction is entirely my own doing). And just today I got an invite from him to join Google +. He’s so awesome…
– That exploring the world only needs to start with a stick and an endless green field…
Okay, back to the packing !
Happy Friday, everyone ! Mwah !!!
my girls all loved puppets.Still do!!!
We have a very well loved set of those books here! They really are great 🙂
The “That’s Not My” books are a big hit in our house too. What a great tip! Now to adopt a few accents and languages to keep it interesting… hehe!! 😉
Love the bottom photo, little explorers 🙂
We love soft puppets here too, so excellent 🙂
Love going shopping at 8:30 in the morning – ah the peace and quiet!
That’s a lovely pic of you!
Hope you have a lovely weekend! 🙂
I love that pic of the boys exploring!!! So cute! Ugh, I am the WORST at packing to go away. I always seem to end up with only tops, or only bottoms, or all summer stuff when it’s freezing or vice versa!
Enjoy your time at home with your folks. 🙂

You got invited to Google + by a Gen Y! LOL! Aren’t you Gen Y??Oh, that’s right – you’re 40 but you look 18!!! Hot Mama of Beautiful Twins 🙂
