Planes, Cars and still more Boxes

 A fairly eventful few days for Levi and I even given that he was sick and I was at work for some of it.  On Thursday, his Vacation care all went to the carnival.  I talked to the workers and they said that one is organized every year.  Brilliant really!  All the nearby Vacation Cares get together and pool their money.  Then they get slides and rides and face painters.  The kids get free access to everything without checking because only Vacation Care kids are invited.  They get a Sausage sizzle lunch, fairy floss and a Popsicle.  Then they just wear themselves out all day until the poor parents have to get them.  When I picked up Levi, all the kids were sitting quietly watching a DVD.  All the kids were barely conscious.  The teachers were just sitting back relaxing!

Levi has been on the edge of sick the last few days, not quite sick but not quite well either.  He is in there snoring quite loudly at the moment, so he isn't better yet.  It has just meant that I have kept him quieter than I normally do.  We went to see the movie Cars 2 today and I had to stop part way on the 15 minute car journey because he felt car sick.  He must be really on edge. 

The movie was not as good as Cars 1 in my opinion, but it was entertainment out of the house for Levi and a few mates, so worth the cost.  The first movie had lots of great messages in it, but the sequel was more just going through the motions.

Levi has been really into making random boxes into things, since we made the rocket car (Incidentally battered but still trucking on).  He gets the boxes that get delivered and makes them into anything that comes to mind.  It is lovely to watch his imagination at work.  This latest one is a plane.  He is drawing the console here below.  Yes his mouth and tongue are still very important drawing tools!
 He punched holes in the side for the balloons that will "give him lift".  I thought that was great!
