The Garbage Disposal System
























These are my garbage disposal men. One main contractor who does the real work & one subcontractor who just wants to go along for the thrill of putting on his boots & pressing the lift buttons (oh, and in case you're wondering, the sweater/cape was to make sure he didn't catch a chill in the corridor). It's quite funny to see Matty run to the door and rush to put on his boots every time Luke even mentions taking out the trash...

Hehe, now we just have to continue to con him into thinking that all chores are fun. He already takes great pleasure in bringing things to the kitchen for us, fetching slippers and the like. Who knows, maybe in a few years we can teach him to cook, wash and clean the house.. *mummy twisting hands evilly*

One of my favourite buildings in London..



I love the Natural History Museum in London. It's across the road from Matty's nursery so I see it quite a lot, but never get sick of it. The building is lovely, and looking at it on a sunny day always makes me marvel just a little..

The displays inside are pretty interesting too, and it's a pity M is a little too young to enjoy it. They have dinosaurs, the human body, mammals & reptiles, etc, and it's actually very informative. Nevermind, we have another year before we go home so maybe he'll grow up enough by then to have some fun out of it. It would be cool if they had something like this back home (but it'd probably look very out of place too!) =)
