In the car on the way to school this morning, we were discussing cousins and aunts and uncles. I described how my mum had brothers and sisters, and that their kids were my cousins. Then it went on like this

me - so when Monkey 1 has kids and is a dad, and Monkey 2 has kids and is a mum, then your kids will be cousins, and I will be a Nana

Monkey 1 - and I will be an Uncle

Monkey 2 - and I will be an Auntie

Monkey 3 - and I will be a helicopter pilot.

So we will be right for extended family and transportation.

Monkey 3 wanted a lemon and honey drink this morning, so I went out the back door and picked some lemons. I was thinking about how great it is to just go out the back and pick something fresh to bring into our house and to feed to my kids.


Check out this bountiful harvest!And see that big lemon in the middle? It is a whopper. This is it in my adult sized hand. Monkey 1 wanted to send this photo to Believe it or Not, he didn't think that it qualified to send to Guinness book of World records...
