For all you AFL lovers, here’s something we saw on a fence at Turners Beach here in Tassie today that’s sure to give you a giggle. Unless you’re an Essendon supporter.

Go the Blues!

OK, let’s get into some much less controversial competitions.

What a whirlwind week we’ve had. Here are some of our wins:

• We arrived home from Sydney, after having one of the best holidays we’ve had in a while. It was so incredibly relaxing – apart from the constant high-pitched squeals from The Bloke in The Shed. He’s decided we are NEVER moving to Sydney. He couldn’t cope with all the spiders.

• While doing some ABC Reading Eggs together on the iPad, Julian tried to explain to Ella about Steve Jobs, the man who created all the “i’’ products. Ella replied with: “Yes, Dad. I know him.” Julian looked puzzled. “He’s on the front of Mum’s book’’. Of course she knows him!

• Julian and Ella were up against Robyn Moore, the voice of Blinky Bill, in a celebrity ferret race today as part of Australia Day festivities. Well, the ferrets raced. Not Julian and Robyn. Robyn was disappointed with the lack of motivation from her ferret and broke into her Julia Gillard impersonation from ABC Radio comedy show How Green Was My Cactus to give it a pep talk. Meanwhile, 10 minutes earlier the race had been won by Julian and Ella’s ferret. This was their secret weapon (the rabbit. Not Ella looking distinctly like Heath Ledger playing The Joker):

The Christmas present I wasn’t convinced we needed has come back to bite The Bloke in the Shed on the bum.

Ella: “Dad, can you come to the toilet with me and hold the iPod while I wee?’’

Julian: “Um… no’’.

OK, it must be my turn now with the iPod, lying by the pool entering the competitions below. Sound fair?

We’re still on holidays, but here’s a little laugh for your Sunday:

Ella (5) to Holly (2): “Do you want to do a knock knock joke, Holly?’’
Holly: “Yes, Ella’’
Ella: “Well, say it.’’
Holly: silence
Ella: “Say, `knock knock’.’’
Holly: “Knock knock, who’s there?’’
Ella: “No Holly, just knock knock.’’
Holly: “Who’s there?’’
Ella: “No, I say `who’s there?’. You just say `knock knock’. Say it again.’’
Holly: “Knock knock, who’s there?’’
Ella: “Muuuuuummmmm’’

Sorry Ella, but you just can’t do knock knock jokes with two year olds, especially when they’re meant to be the ones telling the jokes.

Sound familiar?

Now onto something far less frustrating… entering some giveaways!

A bit of Holly for your Christmas!!

Here are some winning moments from the past week:

• While driving home from school this week, Ella was pleading for a pet. I explained how we’re often away, so we can’t have a pet. Who will look after it? She pleaded with: “but everyone I know has a pet and I don’t.’’ I felt terrible. She then followed up with “Peppa Pig has a fish…’’ she started. Ah right, so “everyone’’ is ABC2 TV characters, not school friends.
• Christmas lunch at the O’Briens this year will involve each family bringing something. We’ve been assigned fruit salad, which is really going to stretch us. I’m thinking of going all Pinterest on our fruit salad and cutting watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew out in star shapes and then having strawberry Santas sitting around the edge of the bowl. Dare me? Tee hee hee…
• While we’re on the subject of Christmas, I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am to everyone for sticking around this year. Some days I’m shocked anyone reads at all. Unfortunately, business commitments have meant this blog was put on the back burner a little during 2012. I’m hoping to change all that for 2013, with a little help from a new Three Li’l/Mum PR team member. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I know everyone says it, but please keep safe. There have been too many terrible things happening in the world of late.

Note: The linky will take a break next week and resume Sunday, January 6. The blog in general will be taking a longer break while we plan for 2013.

OK, onto some other wins…
