Amy has been complaining for some time about difficulty reading things in the distance. So last week I took her for an eye test and it seems her eyes are not co-operating when reading so she needs glasses (for reading or working on the computer) to help get them working together. This should also apparently ease the headaches she’s been having – which we didn’t realize was related to her eyes. She picked these herself. Aren’t they cute?

Once again the girls had a fun day at school – but this time it was run by the Year 6 kids as a fund raiser. Seems like just yesterday she started in Kindy and here she is in her last weeks of Primary.

When Amy wasn’t helping man the stands she was having fun….and getting wet.

When I eventually found Christy she wanted me to watch her on the jumping castle/slides.

She also went in an obstacle race….and lost

and enjoyed some fairy floss.

We were lucky that the rain stayed away and the girls had a great day.

Even though we were hosting our party the girls were still very keen to go trick or treating, so once all the guests had arrived they headed out (with two Mums accompanying them). Since there were 12 of them I got them to split into two group so as not to have all twelve arrive at each door :-).

When they got back they checked out their loot – they had quite a stash. It’s nice to see more people getting into trick or treating – we had around 8 groups to our place this year and the kids were made most welcome when they were out and about. One man didn’t have any treat so he gave the kids a packet of cookies to divide between them, which I thought was very sweet.

Unfortunately some of the kids, including Amy, left their goodies on the grass. Can you guess who had a private party?

I think he’s been on a bit of a sugar binge as today he helped himself to a cupcake (wrapper and all) that was on the coffee table :-(. He’s normally so good with food.
