jig.a.lig.a.jig

Okay – so I am not sure where jigaligajig comes from – but it sounds up beat and fancy free.  And that’s me!  Oh gosh – now I’ve started rhyming – can you tell this is going to be a great post!

I actually started this post at 6:45am this morning.  I got somewhat sidetracked, and here I am at 2:11pm – trying to remember what it was I was going to write. Oh yes – that’s right – my memory, or lack thereof!  Hence the memory jig thing up there. M1 has come out with some fabulous lines of late, and do you think I can remember them all.  i should start carrying a pen and paper with me.  Oh – but that would be too easy smart.

The topic of the moment at school is ‘healthy eating” – now – we have no worries about healthy eating in this house.  in fact – I am surprised that my children have not started growing apples or some other fruit out of their ears.  I don’t buy junky foods, so we don’t eat junky foods.  I must admint though – that poses a problem when they go to parties.  My children are always the last to leave the party table, coz they are stocking up on lollies, chips and other ‘stuff’ that they don’t get at home!!!!  SOMETIMES food!!!!  So – back to the school healthy eating thing.  Madison declared to me in the car the other day – “Mummy – so you know what – we have to have 6 glasses of water a day’.  She then proceeded to take six gulps of water – counting each one in a loud important voice.  “There” she said.  After my laughter had subsided, I pointed out that she needed to drink 6 GLASSES of water, not gulps.  Oh – that put a different spin on things!

Lovely Sunday today – woke up to the beautiful sound of rain.  Then the happy sunshiney sun broke through.  Lovely.  Mum came over, and we took the girls for a bike ride.

Check out the speed happening here!

And the spped here – or lack thereof!  Actually – M2 is doing alright – she has one of those bikes with a handle on the back that I push.  She is finally starting to pedal herself (as opposed to leaning backwards on the pedal, thus making it extremely hard to push!), but tend to forget to look where she is going!  One thing at a time with the Mackenzinator!

The Murph spent her outside time in the pram – all cosy as a posy – feeling very snuggly.
