Ben's wishes

Ben is doing a wishes and wonders section at school at the moment. He needed to write down his biggest wishes. He has written - be able to fly, have my own couch, be on the surface of Pluto and breathe underwater.

But his biggest wish of all, the golden wish, is to be taller.

Star wars

I saw this great take on the stick figure car stickers today - Star Wars!

Looks like there's a mum, dad, child and two robo looking dogs.

Birthday

Mum bought the best card for Andrew for his birthday today - baked beans! He just loves them.

She made fantastic placemats from the rainbow dyeing that Andrew did with mum in July. They're in the photo.

Ice hockey goal

Andrew scored his first goal in ice hockey on Friday. Not bad, because its a casual team and all the rest are adults. Andrew's 15 today.

Sewing

I went to Newbury St in Boston yesterday. Just loved the huge display of sewing machines at Sanford college. It was about 10 metres long. Also loved the sale at www.anthropologie.com

Boston Common

I walked through Boston Common yesterday and there were squirrels! Eating acorns! I took lots of photos, talk about revealing yourself as a tourist. Everyone else raced past.

Westborough houses

The next few posts will be about my trip to the US.

I spent the day around Westborough - west of Boston - where my friend lives.

Just adored the beautiful houses. I took so many photos of the houses - they're so well-maintained and many were decorated for Halloween. And the flags - on houses, shops, decorating trucks...

To sum up my day in Westborough - quaint wooden houses, flags and pumpkins.
