It's monster making time

It's school holidays here, in cold wet Melbourne, and keeping the eldest entertained has been a challenge. Santa gave him a Mutant Monster kit, so we opened it up yesterday for his "experiment". It was more of an experiment in his patients!!

AJ and his Mutant Monster

You put a cardboard monster together. It's covered in some kind of chemical I guess. Then you sit it in the dish, put the secret liquid in the bottom then wait.

And wait.

And wait.

He wants to collect them all!! Not sure what happens now, I guess we wait some more.

I have decided from now on, as "Little A" is nearly 7, I have decided, for the purpose of this blog, to now call him by his initials, AJ, just in case you were wondering where this AJ came from!! Little O will still be known as such ;-).

How are you dealing with the wet cold school holidays? Personally I prefer this weather but can't kick the boy outside for some much needed running around.
