baked gingerbread men with the small girl yesterday, she is much pleased.  today i will take advantage of the damp and overcast weather to plant a lemon tree that i fear is on the verge of root-boundedness, and drive to the marvellous turners beach nursery in search of a bay tree.  and glue and paint (finally!) her princess castle.  and make homemade pizza for my beloved, who is spending the day working out in the rain at cradle mountain.  i wish i had something more exciting to report, but my life is not very exciting at the moment.  perhaps when i go back to work, or my long-lost half brother turns up with the other half of the pirate map our father left us in his will...

Ooh! Pirates!

Did you soak the rootball in diluted Seasol and ease it out before planting? And tell the tall lad that if he wants to wee on it while it is little, he needs to water it in with water later. XXX

sadly, we got all caught up in playgroup and housework and a trip to the supermarket to buy fetta for tonight's pizza (the supermark trip took more than an hour, because i have a child and therefore a different kind of time applies), so the planting has not happened. tomorrow i will buy seasol...

If it makes you feel any better, it's not in active growth at the moment, unlike the small girl! BTW - Have you coloured in the fairy prison yet?

painting today, the small girl wants it to be pink (obviously), and have a plan to embellish it with climbing roses...

Honestly, your life is such a joy to read about just now--simple pleasures (gingerbread men!!! you are the coolest mom!) are so nice to hear about when one feels one doesn't have time to enjoy them oneself...
