Today Sienna and I went to Crazy Clarks and bought some stuff for our shoebox to be sent overseas. She helped me pack it up and she liked all the stuff I got so I know it’s gonna be good heh. I decided since the most current experience I have is with a 3yo girl I would pack a box for the same. We got some toys and a toothbrush with kiddy toothpaste, a little outfit with shirt and pants, a paddle with ball on elastic, some plastic animals, a cake of Dove soap that was at the checkout, a little book of Leo the Lion, some colourful thongs (shoe ones not the underwear), a hairclip set, some coloured bouncy balls and an envelope with a photo of us sitting together and a Christmas card.

Yesterday we also went to Crazy Clarks and bought a Christmas tree with lots of ornaments to hang on it. We put all the ornaments on, including some pretty lights and Sienna loved it. She loved the ornaments so much she has taken most of them back off the tree to play with! There were even little fake presents which she has taken back off the tree and unwrapped. So now I have a floor with bits of foam and foil wrapping paper. The tree has bits of golden string on it where the presents and other ornaments used to be. Oh well.. as long as she’s enjoying herself.. that’s what mainly counts. Below is a photo of the tree before it was un-decorated.

A while ago I posted about a carnival Sienna and I went to. Well, here’s some photos of interest.

Also, a while ago I found this interestingly named Japanese Restaurant… “Where are we going to meet for lunch today?” “Fuku!” “Yeah! Well.. fuku too, buddy!”.

Yeah. Fuku too, mate!
You can tell I’ve finally gotten around to emptying out the photos in my mobile phone…
A couple of weeks ago I drove past the Ettamogah Pub.

To top it all off, here’s a photo of some of the drawings I did for Hallowe’en (which nobody saw):
Hallowe'en drawings
At 6:30pm three kids arrived with their mum and I gave them a few lollies each (probably 4-5). They ran off excited and after I finished dinner I thought I’d spruce it up a bit by doing these drawings (and a few more) plus packaging some lollies with a balloon in a bag so the kids could take them. Not one kid turned up after that. Only three kids from one family interested in Hallowe’en. A couple of years ago we had them turn up every 15-30 minutes. Oh well. Sienna is really enjoying the (natural no artificial anything) lollies and balloons (which were left over from her birthday party anyway).
