Life is a Journey not a Destination

Yesterday the girls had a Fun Day at school and it was certainly fun. They had rides and stalls and crafts.Christy had her hair sprayed pink and Amy’s was black striped. I ended up spending more time with Christy as Amy was happy to go off with her friends.

I ended up selling fairy floss for a while - not sure why I look like I’m in pain!!!

I’m hoping to do more of a catch up post later today but like most of you it’s busy around here. So if I don’t manage it here’s some video of Christy’s Christmas performance last night - grade 1 sang Wombat on a Surfboard. The was the second performance at night so i think she was getting a little tired. They also sang other songs with all the infants classes but she was hard to spot. For some reason year 1 was behind year 2. Don’t quite know what they were thinking. You’d think they’d arrange them by height wouldn’t you? Still was a nice night and it really feels like Christmas/end of the school year now.

Well, it’s all over for another year. Amy and Christy both did great and it was wonderful watching them perform on stage - they both love it so much. Kevin was the official photographer so I’ve got lots of great photos but here’s just a few.These are straight off the camera.

Yesterday we had lunch at my Aunt & Uncle’s (to celebrate my Uncle’s 60th birthday). The girls had a ball in the pool (despite the cool day) and then later playing in this gorgeous tree.

It’s that time of year for the girls to have their concerts for dance, singing and drama. The above photo was from Amy’s first solo singing performance. She did great. Maybe when Kevin gets back from his weekend away on the bike I’ll find out how to add the video to my blog (though the picture quality isn’t great, she sounds great).

Last weekend the girls had their drama concert.

Next week we start with the dance rehearsals for the concert in a fortnight. It seems weird this year that they are all in November. December will be much more quieter than normal.

Here are the girls all ready to go trick or treating. They go every year with the Ryan family and I stay home and hand out lollies to any trick or treaters. We had a record number this year of around 30 kids.

Christy’s party was a great success. It was held at an indoor play center and she had 10 friends join her and Amy. She had a wonderful time playing with and showing off for her friends. They played some games like musical statues and musical chairs.

Christy opened her presents.

They had party food.

And birthday cake

When the forecast was for 24 degrees celsius today I told dh he should put the pool solar heating on as Spring was finally going to arrive. And it did with a vengence. It was hot. 27 degrees I think was the top. Last Sat was cold, wet and rainy, and one week later the kids were in the pool swimming.

The girls (and Kevin) also spent time lazing in the new hammocks that he bought. It was so nice seeing them reading books during the day.
