Fire Station Visit #1

We took Silas to an open house at a local fire station.

We were able to get a bunch of great photos.

He is yelling in mum's ear, "Fire, get out of the building!"

Here is the cool fire truck.

Silas begins his inspection.

I'm glad they have all these levers turned off.

What a great looking fireman.

They even let him spray the hose.

Well done.  Thanks for not shooting Papa.

And a little video

Bus Driver

My dad would be proud to see Silas' interest in driving a bus since he did this for years at our church.

One mighty sweet bus driver if I do say so myself.

I'm glad to see he has fun even without the $2 charge.

Silas At The Tip

Silas loves rubbish/recycle trucks, so we spent this arvo at the tip (dump).

Fortunately, we spent most of the time in the mulch area.

Silas Playing 'Rend Collective' Song

Silas loves the song Build Your Kingdom Here by Rend Collective.

More Building

A typical Saturday morning.

Lots of building going on.

What an engineering wonder!

Silas Mowing

Silas really tries to help around the yard.

Mum and Silas Being Silly in the Kitchen

So this is what goes on at home while I'm at work...

Papa's Favourite Time.

After a long day of work, I love to just sit with my buddy.

I'm enjoying all these Curious George episodes!

Papa's Office

I keep finding strange things on my computer and in my office.

Hmmm, I wonder what's going on....

Wildlife Park

We have season passes for this wildlife park.

Silas can pat a koala.

Of course, he loves the wallabies. 

Sometimes mum lets him pat a snake! 

But his favourite is the emu. 

He likes to chase them. 

And, unfortunately, he likes the emu poo. 

I hope we washed our hands before lunch! 

Genius? Maybe not.

What Silas did in this jumping castle has us laughing our heads off. 

Moving Rubbish Bins

One of Silas' Favourite pastimes.

Moving rubbish bins from one part of our driveway to another.

Push them in place Silas.

Use those muscles.

Now the red one.

QUICK! The timer is running.

Very nice, put it next to the green one.

A job well done.

Very Slowly Helping With Weeds

At this age, Silas usually helps by making everything take longer.

Helping Mum with the Groceries

I don't know if this actually counts as "helping"!

I just hope the eggs are in the top section.

How fun.

Blocks

This has become a common Saturday morning event for Silas and Papa.

We build huge buildings with mega-blocks.

Each week I see Silas being more and more creative.

And, it's pretty fun for Papa too.

Rain

Mum loves to keep Silas entertained.

Today we are making rain.

The idea is simple enough.

Glass of water.

Shaving cream.

Coloured water in a dropper.

Once the 'cloud' gets too full, it rains.

We are starting to see some odd cloud formations already.

Silas is captivated.

And having lots of fun.

And making a big mess!

Hopscotch

Firee

Here in Australia they call a fire man a firee or fire-ie.

Silas looks like he would be a good one.

He likes the megaphone.

Tina taught him to yell "Everyone out of the building!"

Silas, now that you've gotten everyone out, time to put out the fire.

Well done.  Now he has his fire hose.

He even knows 

He is so cute, he might start more fires than he puts out.

Climbing a Tree

I guess it was just a matter of time until Silas wanted to climb our tree.

He is doing too well.

Perhaps you can come down now.

He is having fun.

King of the world.

Blueberries

Yummy blueberries.
