Giggle & Hoot...

Jack and Gem have been so good at keeping themselves busy these last few days. Making, creating, building, jumping on the trampoline, colouring in, making cubbies, drawing faces on balloons and playing with them- you name it. They are so good at keeping themselves occupied. Yesterday morning they wanted to draw some pictures to send in to the Giggle & Hoot Gallery (kids show on ABC2). Here's what they came up with, they both drew Jimmy Giggle and Hoot.


It made me remember how I was so proud of myself for sending in an entry to a competition on Cartoon Connections when I was a kid. I would watch every morning to see if I had won...until I realised that I had forgotten to write my name and address on the envelope! It was to win a talking dog...I can't remember what they were called but they were big in their day.
And anyone remember, waiting for their name to be called out on Romper Room. Jodie obviously wasn't very popular, because I NEVER, EVER heard it.....ripped off!

Enduro

The off road buggies are racing just out of Waikerie this weekend. We were hoping to go out and have a look at the prologue today but Grant is still working and it is really crappy weather. Hopefully we'll get out tomorrow and check out the race. We went down to the scruntineering at the footy oval last night to have a close up look at the buggies...and a run around since we have been cooped up in the house for a few days. We were meant to catch up with some friends Friday morning but Jack had been vomiting over night, so we didn't want to spread any germs. Unfortunately Grant's having a bad on call weekend and was still working when we went down.
