We eight kids like to potter around productively...Mama wants to remember these delightful days when we have all grown up and left home, so we are creating a record for her.

I'd rather be fishing


After a recent weekend sailing at Lake Rotoiti with friends, a lot of the outdoor games and Lego constructions around here have revolved around sailboats.

K8 made a fishing boat - do you see the polarfleece fishing net with fish in it? The fisherman is wrapped up in his towel asleep at the front of the boat. Just in case he gets in trouble, there are two oars and even a motor for real emergencies.

What a fantastic boat, my husband works for Maritime Radio and wants to know if you have a life jacket and a radio on board?
Did you know that red and orange are the easist colours to spot from a plane when you are searching the ocean for a lost boat? So your colour choice for the polar fleece was spot on.
It looks as though you spent alot of time on you design. Well done.

Thank you for your comment. I don't know why I forgot to make a life jacket because we weren't allowed on the boats or kayaks without one! But I didn't know you should have a radio. I will make one this afternoon. K8
