Things Milly says #8

It's school holidays, so the kids are at home.  Michael was inside doing some work on his computer and Milly wanted him to come and play with her in the backyard.  He said he would come out but needed a couple of minutes to finish off what he was doing.  It was at this point Milly's patience wore out.

Milly:  I'm going to count to three and you'd better come outside.
Michael:  And what if I don't?
Milly:  I'm going to come inside and fight you like a man.

Some randoms

"You're choking me Buster".
Buster doesn't like to walk around outside without his shoes on.  So when he insists on not wearing his shoes he also insists on being carried around.  Henry is always happy to oblige.
 

Practising his "how to look busy" face.
 

"Super Monkey".
This is one of Henry's school projects.  He had to make a marionette puppet using recycled materials and plastic shopping bags.
 

"A Farm".
This is Milly's first school project that she made in class.  It is a farm complete with sheep, a chicken coop, pig sty, duck pond and barn.
 

Milly's first school concert.  Her class did an Hawaiian dance.  For a girl who stomps and clomps her way around, she surprised us with her gracefully dancing and performance.
 

Grandad Bryan came to stay. 

Mister Mischief

I was tidying up the boy's bedroom and found an exercise book under Henry's bed.  As I started to flick through the book looking at pages of his drawings and spelling practise, I came across this plan to create mischief.

Just in case you can't read it, I've transcribed it below without the spelling mistakes.

MISCHIEF PLANS

1.  Put a dress on Dad.
2.  Stick a picture on the charts with Dad and a girl.
3.  Run away from home tonight.
4.  Mess up Milly's room.
5.  Spy on Milly.
6.  Copy Milly.
7.  Go to find a snake.
8.  Wake up Buster.

Who would have thought our little Mister could be plotting such devious things?

Karate update

Henry has had another karate grading.  He has moved from an orange belt up to a red belt.  He continues to enjoy his karate and now wants to join the "Xtreme Team".  The Xtreme Team are a demonstration team who learn gymnastic skills and perform extreme martial arts, including weapons.
