What would be betterer?
A lava flow in your back yard or a
waterfall?
A pet dog or a pet cheetah?
Or
What would be worser?
Being chased by a lion or a cheetah?
Having your eye poked out or having
your whole head explode?
Tonight is the last time he will be 6 and he is a little devastated.
Six has been good for him and us, he has skipped, sung, danced and filled our life with smiley times.
Here is a little of what the last days of 6 have been for Smiley....
This trail was allegedly left by me after I took the photos, the warriors followed it back to the source.
The swords were carved by Lily the lady who looks after our house and children.
Smiley had the flu last week so to cheer him up Lily carved him 5 swords! Check out the bush knife action.
It is the dry season and Samoa's version of winter.
Interestingly many baby animals are to be found at this time of year.
These are the babies at our house.
The Olympics was celebrated at the boys school, Smiley happily found himself representing his own country of Australia and unlike in the London Olympics, Australia took out the gold medal.
Oi Oi Oi!
It must have been international crazy hair day this week.
Here's to 6, a great kid and a great year.
Ah, Smiley! How delicious is the six year! Sorry to tell you this but the 13 year old still asks questions like would you rather die eaten by a shark or piranhas. So I figure you've got at least six more years of thinking up answers! LIly is a treasure. You have to LOVE a good stick!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on the future and nice to know we are in good company. Lily is amazing, not much house work gets done on days like this but who cares, not the boys that's for sure. She only comes two days a week and at least one of the boys has managed to snag a sickie with Lily in the last month.
DeleteThe wooden swords look like every small child's dream, not to mention the bush knife.
ReplyDeleteOh yes the bush knife was the first thing the boys asked for when we came here, most kids in Samoa have one. Terrifying!
DeleteI want a Lily! would she commute?
ReplyDeleteLily would love to look after your five kids, she just needs to find someone to look after her 12.
