Testing

Ok, I know I've been totally slack and not updated my blog for eleventy billion years, but hey, I'm busy. 

Just testing to see how the NetworkedBlogs thing works with Facebook :)

Fireworks

This is the first year we’ve bought fireworks for the girls, they always freak out with the noise. I bought a small pack that was more pretty than noisy. Turns out they weren’t ‘real’ fireworks because they didn’t make the right noise! Can’t win!

So, 2 hours after bedtime and they’re finally in bed, and hopefully sleeping!

Story Book Day

 

Beautiful girls, Jas is Laura from Little House on the Prairie and Bella is Slinky Malinki.

My little kitty cat

Gorgeous costume from the lovely Katrina Lang

Year 2 girls telling the junior school who they are

Year 1 girls doing the same

After they’d finished with the junior school they filed down to the senior school and told them who they all were, and then proceeded down to the preschool.  Next we were back into the classroom where all the kids retold their stories in their own words and explained why the chose the character they did.  Bella did so well and spoke in a nice loud voice for everyone to hear.  I wasn’t able to sit in on Jasmine’s speech

Bella ended up winning the best dressed award for her class!!  She was so proud.

No snow, but we got hail

Well, we didn't see any snow. It apparently did snow around here

Bella’s First Day of School

 

Quick play before school

All ready to go, it was cold this morning

Sisterly love

We’re there, yay!

Lining up ready go in to class

Meeting her new classmates

She’s had an awesome week, has made friends and seems to love going every day. She’s surprised us all by totally taking it in her stride and found her big voice. I’m sure she’s going to flourish in this class

Jayne Cobb Hat

Last year Jimmy asked me to make him a Jayne Cobb hat. Of course firstly I had no clue what he was on about because I don't watch Firefly and secondly I totally forgot so this year I felt awful that I hadn't done it :(

After coming home and finishing a shawl for a friend and the jumper I'd started for Jasmine I finally knitted Jimmy's hat!!

Mobile blogging

Going have a go with mobile blogging now that I've found what looks to be a decent app for my phone. We'll soon find out LOL
