adelaide adventures: February 2007

Ok, so I believe my last post was February 4th, and didn't really tell you much about what has been happening with the crew here, so what follows is my attempt to sum up;

*Dad has moved (again) to Darwin, where he will be for the next 3-5 years. He has a liaison type job, which involves flying all over the Territory, delivering news, views and ideas on education to remote communities. He likes the job, and is a bit sick of all the travel.

* Tom came to visit, and taught W the Yogi bear song, and a joke about muscles. He delivered enough testosterone to last W until next trip, as proven when W fell shortly after he left. As I was cleaning up W's scrape, he came out with "it's ok Mum, I'm tough. Tough, like Uncle Tom!"

* We had some new friends come for lunch. They have a son who is 4, and they are Scottish. We had them over for an Australia Day lunch, which was a BBQ, followed by cricket in the park.
They are very nice people, and they are coming to afternoon tea this Sunday.

* W started at a new pre-school, called Jescott. He chose his own outfit for his first day. I hope our Canadian readers recognise the shirt :)

* Stephane's work has changed locations...As W says "Daddy has a real work now, not a house!"

*W's love of early 80's movies abounds, with the latest obsession being Ghost busters. He puts on his Elmo backpack, puts a remote control in for a gun, and busts ghosts... Very cute. Stephane found the Ghost Busters theme on one of his CD's, and W has been listening to it as a lullaby every night. We had to re-think this once he discovered the other songs on the CD. Mostly innocuous (love shack, macarena etc...it's a "party compilation"), but when your 3 1/2 year old is singing "boom boom boom, lets go back to my room" it's a little disconcerting, even if he has no idea what it's all about!

And now, the supporting evidence (photos!)
