Pikey pones (AKA Pine cones)
At Kinder the kids have been making craft projects from pine cones. Claire is convinced they are called Pikey pones. we actually went on a pikey pone hunt and played in the park and you know what, I think someone had beat us to it. There were no pikey pones left in the park, and I couldn't reach the ones still on the trees.
BUT as we were driving back home we went past the train station and saw a whole lot of them on the side of the road.. so off we went and collected a huge bag full. we must have looked like deros or something rummaging through the bushes alongside of the road and the railway lines. Felicity was very excited that TWO trains went past us while we where collecting..
The next day we took the Pikey pones to Kinder and only one of them came back home decorated. it is stuffed with cotton wool and has some stars on top.. hee hee..
