Keeping Biscuit Busy Out and About - Part 1

Hello! Sorry for the absence of late! We've been back in Australia, catching up with family and friends.

Which leads into the theme of this post.

When we're out, say having lunch or a coffee at a restaurant, Biscuit wants to be marauding all over the place and causing general havoc.

My friend Lou put me on to the wonders of stickers...

We bought a few stickerbooks at the $2 shop, each had a few hundred stickers of varying shapes, sizes and themes (fish, trucks, planes, faces, flowers).

Then when we go out we bring a notepad, some crayons (not as messy as textas) and all our stickers.
Biscuit can't quite get the stickers off the page by herself yet, so we peel them off and line them up on the highchair or the table's edge.

Good times with stickers

*I may note that these stickers were the very last ones left in the book, and hence are not of the most entertaining variety. More were purchased following this breakfast...

So, through this simple magic we had many enjoyable get-togethers over the christmas/ new year break.

This is definitely not rocket science, but I'm not much of a planner, so it is at times shocking to me how a little planning like this can prevent chaos!
