Sometimes boys will be boys - and mine are obsessed with building and food and if you can combine the two you have their undivided attention. So, I have been stockpiling toilet roles for a while now, and as a result of a movie night last night (Mamma Mia) there were some left over maltesers - however not very many!So we built this marble run, and with the lack of marbles in our house used the maltesers which was much more fun. We looked at angles to increase the speed and you only got to eat them if they came all the way through - so there were no gaps either.
I haven't spoken much about the runnings of the house for a while during this creative time, but tonight Alexander was so sweet and caring I have to share it. We were having dinner - sans the big squirrel tonight and we were talking about where he was. He is supporting his sister, who is currently prostesting against the local council who want to push through a motion for a multilane freeway to be built through her home in the country. We discussed protesting, and your right to have a say, but the people that make the decisions may not always agree with you. I was amazed at how much he was understanding. He then went on to say that he didn't want a freeway to go though the farm - it would be too noisy down there. A true fact. We talked that they may have to move, and the sweetest little look came over his face as he suggested he could continue to sleep in the boys room, and his Aunt could have his room, and his uncle (who often stays over for work) could continue to sleep in the lounge. How thoughtful to give up his room, but what a giggle that they have to sleep in separate places!
