Man in the making

My little man is helping out his Mummy again. He used such concentration and precise cutting while preparing these potatoes for me! Everything he does has to be done 'just right.' He is a bit of a perfectionist, really! Takes a bit longer but always good to see him give it a go!

Buster and his little friend

We had some sad news with Lachlan's guinea pig, Casper, dying after being sick for a few weeks. He was a friend that we bought for Buster. I had been cleaning Casper and trying to get rid of the infection I thought he had. During this time I had become close to him and cared for him dearly. Although, unfortunately he just went limp and then later died. Casper was such a brave little guinea pig, although he sure did like to squeal like a pig. Lachlan coped very well and was keen to find out when he was getting a replacement!

My little helper

My pre-teen unwillingly helped me by making dinner while I did the dishes. I will make a real man out of him one day!

L: They put those really dangerous things together to make salt. Well, I'm not having salt anymore!
