Sweet Victory!!!

This year was the epic launch of the soon to be Christmas tradition:

The Bonbon Games

The rules were simple enough- the cheapest bonbons available that contained a joke, hat and toy were placed on the Christmas table.  Points could be earned according to poor quality (missing items etc) or lost if there was any kind of potential found within (eg. an actual funny joke).  Extra points were also available in the piƱata which ensured the obligatory mad scramble of all.

Needless to say there was much debate and discussion over the Christmas table including the expansion of the winners prize not only to include the Golden Bonbon Cup and a family photograph with a clear distinction between the winner and losers but to also produce said cup or improved equivalent at the next event.

Eventually an undisputed winner was announced:  Stevie!

However, I believe we were all winners that night.  As the rest of us donned on our L for Loser headbands we smiled and cheered at the thought of not being responsible for the safe keeping of the Cup.  Till next time......

Good Parenting


We were a season behind in the spring clean this year and so it took a crew of 3 to get the windows sparkling (A Mum and two boys).

It was such a enjoyable task that also facilitated the reinforcement of team work and sense of achievement. The boys were clearly disappointed when we came to the end that it would of been irresponsible parenting if I had not offered something else for them to clean.

I just love being a good parent.
