Kate decided to do something different for her birthday this year, so she got a few of us together and we headed to a local outdoor adventure centre.  Here were were put in a 3G swing (a swing that puts you up 10 meters in the air), jumped for a trapeze from the top of a pole 10 meters off the ground, abseiled down a flat wall and climbed a stack of crates.

From this photo, you can see the enjoyment someone is getting from putting her friends through all this!

You can also watch two videos one of the 3G swing (and Kate screaming) and one of her jumping off a pole

I know this because the butter is hard at “room temperature”.  Hmm, time to turn on the central heating..

It is lovely though, I plan to visit the market this weekend for some festive spirit.  Hohoho…!!

I can’t figure out what it is about this picture that makes it so good.

Mark Messier with hair? Gary Coleman? The jock-strap in the background? The old school goalie pads? The stubby beer bottle? All of the above?

Kids sing-songy voices make a lot of what they say funny, but I suppose their innocence helps too.

I like how everything is “stuck” or “broken” when it doesn’t work, kind of like how everything is “not working” in this kids world.

I like the phrase “of course”, which is said in the most matter of fact voice, like I was explaining the most obvious thing possible.

And in the “heart warming phrases” category, he’s started to say “I love you”. Mmm, you keep saying that kid, and you’ll have mommy handing over the car keys in no time.
“Of course”
