Just for fun...

I was asked recently to share a couple of my (very rough) sketches. I'm a little in love with manga and anime particularly Hayao Miyizaki's work. I love the whimsical feel of the adventures, they transport me to a magical place where everything and anything is possible. So here they are :)

and then they said this....

"I need rice crackers, they are in the cupboard probably" 

Finny

I find this sweet because he has just discovered the word 'probably' within the last month and he is finding as many opportunities to use it as he can, sometimes even within context! 

"Can I please have a cup of Dairy Farmers?"

Owen

Dairy Farmers for those of you who may not know is a brand of milk. We only buy Dairy Farmers (as opposed to generic brands) now so we can support the farmers as much as we can. He has taken a liking to calling it by it's brand name for some reason, which I find rather endearing. 

New series of posts

I am going to start a series of post entitled "and then they said this".
It's always lovely and funny to be able to remember as many of the little 'sayings' that our children have as we can but up to this point I have never thought of journaling them. Well now I will start :) I might even go back through some of my 'Facebook' history to see if I can find some of the quotes that I have posted in the past. But for now I will post the things that they come up with as posts on my blog here and label them "and then they said this".
Hope you enjoy and feel free to do the same or similar as I know how important memories are especially as our children grow so quickly. Oh and let me know if you do write some similar posts as I'd love to read.

Meanwhile....

I have been wanting to write a post however I have nothing nice to say so I won't say anything more than this. But I'm still here.
