~ It never fails to amaze me how we can get things done quickly when we set our minds to it! Last Friday, I decided to make up a box for Operation Christmas Child, and by Monday, it was ready to go. I took the boys shopping, and let Tiny choose whether we were making a box for a girl or a boy….the little doll sold it for him! Tell you what, though – wrapping the box was the hardest part, especially as this one’s lid is attached at one edge; I certainly won’t win any box-wrapping awards.
~ Venturing out on a warm, sunny day (hello, nation’s top temperature), expecting the playground at the Botanic Garden to be packed….and finding it completely empty.
~ As a child, this Peter Pan statue at the Gardens always fascinated me, and it warms my heart that Tiny loves it too. I noticed the wording on the plaque for the first time on Tuesday, and it made me feel all fuzzy inside.
~ Suddenly Tiny seems to have developed a real physical confidence – I couldn’t get him out of this tunnel, when previously we couldn’t get him to go through it. Proud mama moment!
~ Is there anything* nicer than sliding into a freshly made, clean-sheeted bed?? Mmmm.

Linking up with
* rhetorical question. And I am aware that there are many nicer things, but this week, this is high on my list.
oh my goodness that peter pan brings back childhood memories! i didnt realize you live in dunedin (duh!) – i did when i was a kid and we used to often go and play with peter pan!
oh yes to the fresh sheets and the little boys who master new skills? they are awesome!
We cheat and purchase a standard box from the charity for 50c then there is no need for wrapping……I love love love fresh sheets..if I had a maid that is what I would ask her to do every day!!! Hope you are enjoying your week. x
