Their Aussie Uncle knows this too, which is why he gave one of them a pirate activity book for their birthdays back at the beginning of June. The book called, "Pirate things to make and do" was filled with instructions on making pirate swords, telescopes, treasure chests and more plus it came with some shiny pirate stickers. With our Summer holidays just days away with a … [Read more...]

It's always hard to think of what to mail off to the Aussie Uncle for his birthday but we like to try to keep the boys actively involved in remembering their uncle even though he has moved to the other side of the world! This year we got crafty and put together a little gift that looked like this: The container is a small glass jar with attached lid and we headed to the bulk barn to fill it up with gumballs. We printed off a little message that read: Blowing Birthday Wishes all the way from … [Read more...]

Most of the packages had yummy candy like Hot Lips, Big … [Read more...]
