Hey there again - G blogging (although it is getting a bit late). I have had QUITE a busy few weeks.

Where do I begin!

A few weeks ago this strange brown thing arrived - it looked like a much bigger version of my little piano (and it was much louder). Mummy seemed quite pleased and daddy keeps telling me to stop trying to scratch it/run into it/climb onto it - but it is really nice to climb up on as it makes lots of noises...

Soon after another strange brown thing arrived - mummy and daddy both seemed quite pleased (parental edit - our new couch). I found that one could climb up onto it too (tick) and it was nice and soft (double tick) and equally very good for bouncing around on - although I keep being told I shouldn't do that...

:(

Mummy and Daddy BOTH stayed home last Monday - although I still had to go to day care. I arrived home with my grandparents to find the parental units a little bit tipsy after consuming a bottle of something at a very nice restaurant (Montrachet).
I was a bit POOKY as I wasn't allowed to go (mummy and daddy - seriously, taking danger mouse who can't sit still to a very nice french restaurant with no room to roam???). Mummy and Daddy made up for it that evening when Great Grandma (nanny), Uncle Ron and Grandma and Grandpa all came over to give mummy and nanny stuff wrapped in paper. They made me hand out the paper wrapped things, but I got pretty sick and tired of that quickly when I realised that none of the paper was for me!
(I did manage to nearly sneak into the chocolates however)
Unfortunately Great Grandpa had to go to hospital the Friday before for a tune up (or so I keep hearing). Mummy, Daddy and I visited him when he was in this nice place with a tv which had a lot of wires coming out of it and being attached to Pa (mummy and daddy - coronary care).
As you can see by the photo - Pa came out at the end of the week, so mummy and I went around to see him. I showed off my groovy grover Grayson dancing skills and ran around and around their place (wearing out Uncle Ron - hee hee hee). I tried feeding Nanny some of my pikey but she didn't seem to be too keen at being force fed pre-chewed pikeys. (I thought it was going to make things a bit easier for her to digest! Really!)

I also saw all of Daddy's relatives this week - we went down the coast on Sunday, then Nan and Gramps came up on Tuesday night. This was good as I got to eat CAKE! (I nearly missed out - after having milk squishey and getting into my PJs - I suddenly noted a delightful chocolate concoction being plattered and heated - YIPPEEEEEEE!)

But the BEST part of the week was....
my NEW CAR!
Yes, I am now the proud owner of a BMW racing car - it is blue and white and I like to drive it out of our unit, down the lift and put it into mummy's car (which also happens to be new, and strangely she got it at the same time as I got mine....hmmm). Mummy has finally started driving her car as daddy reluctantly relinquished the keys.
Poor Daddy - no X5 driving for you!

And I haven't even mentioned the new iphones in our house...Maybe later!

Mac Lover

Grayson seems to have worked out what the laptop is all about. It is what he watches his DVD's on, listens to itunes so he can dance and looks at photos (mostly of himself)! Today we found G on the couch with my mac. He had climbed up, sat down and pulled the computer onto his lap. He even managed not to pull out the magsafe power cord. Not that it would be a problem as he can plug it back in himself.

Grayson's other great love (apart from mac's) this week seems to be pikies. Not the nomadic gypsies of the UK variety but the cooked by great-grandmother kind. As soon as he sees her coming down the hallway with tuperware container in hand, he says pikey, pikey, pikey.....until you give him one. And if you seem to be a bit slow in meeting his demands he might even throw in a "Pleeease!" for good measure. How can you resist that :)

Hello again from Grayson, blogging because it makes some sort of weird sense in this crazy mixed up world we live in.
Why crazy you may ask?
Well, in the past week....

The unit we are renting was put on the market.
We are hopefully going to buy it.
But this means mummy and daddy need to be more fiscally responsible (I think this means they can't buy champagne all the time anymore)
Daddy seems a bit sad about this bit...
But it is EXCITING isn't it? We get to stay here for as long as we can manage the mortgage repayments!

Then this big brown wooden thing arrived and is in our living room.
It makes nice noises (well, depends who is playing it)
Daddy says it is mummy's birthday present - he had it brought up from Grandmas!
I like trying to play it then push the lid down upon my fingers - this seems to disturb the parent units so they put a key into it to lock it up...
BOO

So after a week of trying to budget, Daddy decided to make chocolate cupcakes with icing on them. Mummy brought out some berries to eat too but I wasn't going to be distracted by berries...
Not when there are CUPCAKES to be eaten
(although they only let me have one owing to the mess I proved I could make)

Next week - a new couch? a new car? a signed contract on our unit?

Or all three....

to be continued

Love

We went to the Science Centre at the Queensland Museum on the weekend. It was fun for the big kids as well as Grayson. So many buttons to press and places to run around, he loved it.

Here he has made a tasty looking Grayson platter out of himself.

Check out some of the other things he got up to on Flickr.

Wisely after cutting out the teddy's and gingerbread men shapes I feigned sleepiness and got promptly whisked off to bed.
MWAH! I am good.
Now, off to eat some COOKIES

Grayson loves spaghetti! Daddy doesn't as he is the one who has to bath him afterwards :(

Note we changed him out of his good shirt and put him in his spaghetti shirt. This followed a nice day at the River Café with the Jenkins' and then some fun play time in the State Library's kids' section.

Fun was had by all!

A bit of rain.....

Ann Street
Originally uploaded by b boy.

It rained a bit this morning in Brisbane. As you can see Ann street is completely covered in water and traffic had to make their way through in the centre lane (which was the shallowest part of the road). I was starting to wish we had the X5 as it gradually became deeper! But all was ok in the end :)

It was interesting seeing the wake from the traffic causing waves lapping at the buildings on the side of the road......not something you see here everyday.

I hope some is getting into the dams!
