Cheap Family Photo

Last week, a note arrived from Craig's kindy that he needed to take a 4x6 photo of his family to class for an art project. Despite having a few days notice, Craig's ever-so-cheap parents could do no better than to lie on the bed next to Graham a take a picture with Dad's mobile phone. It even got printed out on an ordinary inkjet printer on plain white paper. The good news was that Craig didn't seem to mind.

Saturday last weekend was designated for shopping. A long walk was made all the way to Carrefour which is much further away than two other supermarkets. Why? Because it has begun stocking Aussie beer! Craig didn't care about that either. He just wanted lunch. He was very careful about keeping a close eye on his yoghurt as well. He really likes yoghurt.

Craig's Mum is very good at making sure Craig eats plenty of veggies. If she didn't he would just eat rice and meat.

Tuesday was Craig and Graham's Mum's birthday. After Dad came home from work the whole family went to a local chainstore cafe for cake.

Craig and Graham's Very Cheap Dad bought a piece of chocolate cake for himself and Mum had a little pudding.

The good news was that Mum was happy.

Back at home that night, Graham's Dad tried to put a dummy in Graham's mouth. He's rejected it several times before but this time the boy was quite sleepy and sucked hard enough to keep it in place for several minutes. It didn't last long but it was much longer than in the past when he would just spit it out straight away.
