Day 33

Fruit Ninja!
Ever played Fruit Ninja?
It’s a video game where fruit fall in front of the screen and using your finger you swipe at the fruit, and it splits in half and falls away. You win points for slashing fruit.
We watched a Mark Rober video today where he played Fruit Ninja in real life with the Guinness Book world record holder for card throwing.
Card throwing is a weapon!!
This guy can split a blueberry.
He splits an olive while it’s in motion! 😮😮😮😮
You won’t believe what this guy can do!!!

We all had so much fun watching that video and can’t believe the things Rick Smith Jr. can do.
Crazy insane!
It was timely, because we just bought 3 or 4 packs of cards to learn Blackjack, so we just happened to have lots of brand new, shiny cards to throw.
Lincoln couldn’t help himself.
He tried a few throws. They were pretty woeful. He knew he needed more info. So, we watched the next video where Rick teaches Mark how to throw.
Champ
In true Lincoln style, after watching the basic techniques he was able to do this.
Pyjama Day
Mila decided she wasn’t going to get dressed or brush her hair today.
I kept telling her to do her chores and get dressed & start her day, but she wasn’t having any of it.
She’s obsessed with her new Gingerbread maker & began baking right after breakfast.
This little maker is SO good!!
She can use the oven, however as the boys were busy playing cards in the yard, I felt comfortable leaving her alone with her gingerbread maker.
Watching this thing churn out cookies really hit home the success of the McDonalds’ strategy.
Being able to cook something on both sides AT THE SAME TIME is a game changer.
If we had put these in the oven, we would have to wait 15 -20 minutes.
Her little gingerbread maker pumps out cookies in under 3 minutes!
For reasons I don’t know why, she was cooking them one at a time & bringing them in to me.
It definitely added something to the working from home experience. 😎
Skating
They finally got organised and left for a skate.
Linc has entered a skateboard comp being held at the end of January and he has 5 tricks he wants to master. He can do 3 of them.
Liam’s finally mastered the Ollie. (Lincoln is enormously proud 😂).
Roller Girl continues to add liquid sunshine where ever she goes and is practising moves for her upcoming skate day.
Cafe Time
Yep, after that they hit the cafe. (It was a Dad day after all!).
They ran into our little friend Ezra!! He’s getting so big and makes my baby look enormous!
Surfs Up
Liam snuck off for a surf. When the waves are good, you’ve gotta surf!
Greyhound Hangout
Finally, we met up with a heap of other Greyhound adopters.
The kids LOVED petting all the Greys.
It was more like a dog club than a park play.
When we go to the oval, they all run around like mad. Chasing, & jumping & slobbering on each other.
The Greyhounds may as well have had brandy glasses & smoking jackets. They were like a stuffy group of old chaps standing around discussing world issues.
No doggy shenanigans. Far too sophisticated for that.
Such a nice chilled out day.
Farm day tomorrow. Whoohoo!!
