T sang to me a song / advertisement on getting a pet. Not sure where she gets this stuff from however it is very funny and creative. Apparently a goldfish will not do.

W Sisters on Halloween Well Sort Of
I was reminded at dinner tonight that Christmas Eve or more specifically 24 December is Rainbow’s birthday. It is not widely known rainbow is another name for T’s lovie money also know as Dee Dee. I think originally rainbow’s birthday was on Christmas however that date got changed recently.
What did not know until today dinner was that 24 December is also Halloween from stuffed animals. I know that fact about stuffed animal Halloween is not widely known since I had I known about it nor had anyone mentioned it to me until now. It was widely known I am not sure why no one decided to tell me until today.
If the stuffed animal community was trying to keep this day on the download and I apologise for publicising it on this blog. I am a positive for them not sure how many people actually read this.
W Sisters Short and Going to The Toilet Before Leaving The House
Note this story was written well before social distancing. When we could go visit friends…
Today I was trying to get the girls out of the house so they can go to a birthday party. The part was only a few doors down the street at a friends house. As is typical I wanted them to go to the toilet before they left the house.
When I asked A to go she said “there is a toilet a x-friends house. anf I know where it is” at that point I really didn’t know what else to say. It was a perfectly normal retort, and a little bit funny to me. I wanted her to go before we left however the logic was pretty infallible that I had to just leave it.
Note on the photo. It is not a toilet sign, however it was a really funny graphic in the shower in iceland. It was the closest thing i had to work with as a picture for this.
W Sisters Short on Obligatory Photography
Saturday the girls were making stuff with Play Doh. They created a lot of food. T insisted in taking a photo and sending to M since M wasn’t home at the time. I took this photo. T insisted on taking another photo at a different angle to also message. She was very insistent in that.
The Story of Our Meet-aversary
Today is an important anniversary for me. Today 10 years ago I meet the most amazing lady. I knew from early on that something was different about her. It turned out I was right. 10 years later that superstar is my wife, and we have two awesome kids. We are on our 3rd place together. And second country.
It is like thinking back to another life i lived when i think about all the things that were different before then. Even with all the crazy going on in the world I cannot believe how unbelievably lucky I am to be with M, and have A & T.
W Sisters Short on The Kindergarten Lunch
Back in the mid 2000’s when my friend Jay and I used to work together we would joke around about going out for “kindergarten lunch”. It was code for going to eat lunch anytime before noon. We did it often enough.
For some reason it always seems like little kids in kindergarten (Reception/ Year One for my British friends) always havr lunchtime scheduled so early. Whenever we thought of an early lunch we would think of that. Almost 15 years later I still use the term constantly.
On the first day we had swim class after Winter break the girls insisted on lunch out after the class was over. ibsuggested McDonalds since i didnt want tobdo shake shack, the other option they line at the mall.
I knew I was getting the full experience when even after spending 15 minutes at the lego storw we still had to wait five minutes for them to start making lunch. Breakfast was still being served. We stood there watching them flip the signs from breakfast to lunch at 10:55 AM. i was proud of myself for not ordering a bacon sandwitch in the advert i was staring at while waiting. it looked really good.
The girls were happy with the final result.
The W Sisters And The Story of The Coaster Hostages
There has been a constant hostage situation unfolding in our house since we moved in. It has involving one or more of our bar coasters. The girls would steal them and hoard them. Then one would get free or be found. Only for us to have another go missing. I am not really sure where they would go all the time. We had limited evidence to conflict any single child. We know they would take them, and then they would turn up. Problem was all of them would never turn up at the same time.
About a week or so ago i thought like they were all finally turning up and then one would be missing. Today I was cleaning out under the couch and found one. When putting them all together I realised that we finally had the complete aet.
The band was finally back together. Just in time. We have house guests coming next week. I think I need to put police protection on these to make sure they stay together for the next week.
W Sisters Short on My Haircut
The other day I got a haircut. For me that’s a pretty rudimentary thing to do. I get one every couple of weeks. The girls like to rub the back of my semi-shaved head. They think the short hairs feel good on their hands.
This haircut however T for some reason was patting my head. Then she started measuring how much hair I had with her finger. She proceeded to tell me that I had a lot of hair. The funny thing is I don’t. I keep it pretty short. Compared to her I have almost no hair. She then said she wanted to see me with more hair. I told her I was not going to grow my hair out.
I did let it grow a little in High School. Never liked it. I then told her that my dad, her puppy used to have a really long/big hair. She didn’t really believe me so I offered to show her and A picture.
When I shoulder the picture she said something like “Oh my gosh”. Then she asked if that was taken long ago. I said it what is however I remember his hair that long.
It reminded me of a funny story my sister told me. A few years ago my mum was wondering out loud to that strange man was standing next to her in a picture. My sister said that dad. I can only assume he had a huge head of hair at a time
W Sister Shorts on Tired
I took note of this banter with A way back in June. I have been slow getting stuff written up. I thought this was funny enough (to me):
I was getting the girls ready for bed and while I was ticking in A I asked her “are you tired?”.
A replied “how do you know i am tired?”.
I replied “are you tired?”.
She replied “yes”.
I said “you look tired”.
She responds “oh”…
She just makes me smile and is pretty funny and silly!
W Sister Shorts on Robots
The other night i was giving A a hug and this transpired:
Me “I love you so much”
A “More than a robot?”
Me pausing for a second confused “Yes more than a robot”
Note, I do not have a photo of a robot and I try not to post pictures of the kids so Paddington with goggles will have to do.
