Boxing Christmas Lights
It was an interesting and activity filled day today. We have been promising Ethan for some time now that we would take him to see The Santa Clause 3. Finally today he and I got dropped off in the city so they could go, and I took Callum and Aidan out for a drive along the Brisbane river. Callum fell asleep, so we drove around for about 45 minutes until he woke up again. We then headed back into the city, parked, and walked up to meet Anth and Ethan again. Lunch was had in the city, and then we went to the city Botanic Gardens to run around on the lawns there. Once the kids got worn out, we headed back home.
The afternoon was spent fairly relaxed, until I decided to go out and do some boxing practice. This of course brought everyone outside to have a go as well. Obviously, I don't do it very often. Callum kept trying to grab the gloves off me. At least he knew what he was doing, putting the gloves on, and then standing underneath the punching bag punching the bottom of it. He's already a feisty little character, so I don't know if its a good thing to be showing him how to punch any more! Aidan sat outside on his bike offering advice, and Ethan danced around trying to show us how he could punch without gloves on. Wednesday was just happy for all the attention of us being outside.
After a nice evening roast lamb dinner, we all went out for a walk. Well, sans Wednesday. In our local suburb there is a lot of competition for Christmas Light displays, so we took in some of the main contenders. In one area, there is a whole Close where around 10 houses have their setup all done. This is but two of the houses showing off what they've done. Down the street their is another group where there must be 30 odd houses all done up. I'd be like my brother and fall off the roof if I attempted it. Klutzyness does run in the family.

Oh Lawd, if we taught Connor to box he'd end up in juvy for sure! That kid is soooo agressive alreay he needs no encouragment.
We love looking at Christmas lights too, they are so very pretty.
