Mummy Devin day

A of the beginning of this school term, Devin started morning Kindy, and Madison started Pre-school 2 days a week. This means that on Monday and Wednesday afternoon, is Mummy Devin time.
Being a solo mum, i have found that Devin has taken a hit the hardest. He is not coping as well as the girls, so i thought it rather important that i have that one on one special time with him.

Today was the first day that i was able to have that special one on one time with him, (the other days have been filled up with me dragging him around to meetings or such forth), which he asked to go to the park and i thought, why not. there is nothing stopping us from running around the park together.

Here are some pictures of the afternoon.

Start at the dinosaur park
(the favourite park of my siblings and i when we visited Dunedin)

Then we went to the beach

It was such a fun time. It was really good to just chillax and have fun with him. Lately i have been to wound up with responsibility that i forgot that it can be fun to.
I can't wait till the next time Devin and i can have fun again. I think we both need it.

Lets play a game - Answer

Very good. I loved reading what you all thought. Erika - air, rather clever. You are the closest person because you did think very obviously. Of course air is going to be one of the things that are in there.

This box has come about due to having to take drastic measures to stop the mischiefs from destroying our house anymore. Im not overly stressed about it because im going to change all the wall paper anyway, but its not a good habit to have the kids get into.

This is what is in the box .......

This is why they are in a locked box.......

I have tried many other approaches to prevent this from occurring but they have all failed. Most of the crayons have been eaten by the little girl mischiefs which is a relief seen as the crayon seems to be the choice weapon of war against my walls, but i still feel it necessary to lock all the pencils away as well.

Often i would put the kids to bed with the illusion that all the crayons are safely in the top draw, only to wake in the morning to find a new colour sprawled through the already artistic mural they have lovingly created.
So enough is enough, everything i can find that they will use as a decorating tool for my walls, will now be locked in this box.

Now lets hope that Devin doesn't start learning how to open the lock.
