"Why is there a panda in the fridge?"

So, today has been a good day in the Smu residence. We've been happy, loving and playful all day. We even started the day with scripture study, prayers and a good amount of learning about skeletons. I thought it would be a good day to start our happy blog!

Computers terrify me. I'm not old, they just don't really interest me (other than to perform the tasks I want them to) and I don't understand them. I'm pretty sure they don't understand me either - they always seem to stop working as I'm about to start! I wasn't sure that a blog would be something that I would be able to do, but George 1st wants to have one to record the things he does so I suggested setting up a family one. The shameful thing, is that he's 7 and is a whole heap more confident than me.

So, like I say, the day started off well. We learned about skeletons. George 2nd who is 5 and wants to be a doctor one day, is absolutely fascinated by all things bodyand loved playing the games on the BBC Interactive Page. George 1st started to make simple circuits using whatever he could find lying around the house. I was extremely impressed by his skill and knowledge. I just left him to it. We've done the theory, this was just the practical fun.

This afternoon we went to the park with some friends who had finished school for the day. The boys loved playing and clearly got them in the mood for being outdoors as when we got home they started banging nails into some old bits of wood. Apparently it's the start of a tree house. DadaSmu came home at this point and got the drill out. Not sure who was more excited, him or them!

Meanwhile, George 3rd (2yrs old) had painted his hands black, built a traintrack in the living room and put a plastic panda in the fridge!!
