The Grand Ball

Being at school surely keeps me busy.. so busy that blogging has unfortunately taken a back seat.. While we all have lots of photos and stories still to post I wanted to quickly share with you all the ever important event on my social calender, happening this Saturday - The Grand Ball!! After weeks and weeks of practicing we are all finally ready to put on our ball gowns (the girls that is) and show everyone how well the prep class can waltz. Only 4 more sleeps..

Stacks on

the joy of chocolate.. oops we mean Easter

No matter how hard we tried, the year we were unable to find any chocolate suprises left by Easter Bunny.. So after breakfast we headed outside and in doing so we discovered that he had been playing in our garden. We wasted no time getting our boots on to find the chocolate and then of course taste it.. After a morning tea of chocolate and more chocolate we headed to Nanny's house for a big family easter feast. Because there were so many of us we dined outside on the new deck in the sunshine. After lunch it was time for some games, some outside bush style kid cooking and of course another egg hunt complete with some chocolate style gifts from Nanny and Aunty Shannon. After dinner the plan was to go home but instead we decided that a sleep over at our cousins houe was a better idea. Although it was late when we all finally got to bed we still had some energy to play and talk before sleep. The next morning we all woke up super early and athough we tried really hard to be quiet it wasn't long before the grown ups were awake as well. Poor Uncle Mick didn't look so happy to be awake though and in an attempt to feel better he decided to go for a swim in the pool. What a crazy uncle we have..

Good Friday

Good Friday this year sure was good!!!! With Aunty Shannon and Dan in tow we jumped on the train and decided to head into the Good Friday appeal. After having our faces painted and after winning some running races there were belly dancers to watch and jumping castles waiting to be jumped on. We even got to see the big green oval that the footy players play on while we ate our lunch. The highlight of the day was however when we got home and found some chocolate bunnies sitting on our back door step. Thank you secret easter bunnies (you know who you are.. )

banking

For over five years now I have been collecting coins.. Finally last week I got to take some of these coins to the bank and deposit them straight into my account.. Watching the coins being automatically sorted and conted was kind of cool. Much cooler than the way that Mum told me she used to count and deposit money when she was a little girl. I wonder what I will buy with my money when I'm older...

Love Amelia

nap time

teddy bears picnic

Today was our last day of kinder before the holidays so we decided to make it extra special by having a teddy bears picnic. Look at the great teddy bear ears I made. I LOVE kinder!! I can't wait until I get to go back again.

A new place to play

Look at the great new park that we found today whilst randomly driving around the streets. I think that this park was designed with us in mind, don't you????

p.s. you may need to enlarge the photos to read the sign...

fun fun at the farm

I think that we will rename Tuesday to "boys fun day". Today we decided to stop by the Collingwood Children's Farm. There were so many things to do and see but of course before exploring and feeding the animals we desperately needed to feed ourselves. When ready we set off to visit (and milk) Heather the cow, feed the goats, pat the horses, cuddle with the guinea pigs, chase the ducks, and say hi to the donkeys. Then of course there were the sheep..... We started with the friendly sheep in paddock one who tickled our hands when we fed them but the sheep that lived in the back paddock were not so friendly. At first we thought that they were just a little hungry but being hungry shouldn't make them chase my friend Thomas around the paddock should it?? and it shouldn't make them head butt us should it??? Hmmmmmm, one day we might venture back to the farm but we think that we will give the food to the friendly goats instead!!!

Harmony Day

Look what we made to take to school today... For Harmony Day all the school kids got to celebrate with a big lunch time feast. Everyone was asked to bring a traditional yummy dish from their home country. We chose jelly shapes as we didn't think that any one else would bring them.



and look at what I got to wear to school today.. Orange is the Harmony Day colour so I got to wear my new t-shirt from Bec.



I also took along the picture that i made for my buddy, Jasmine.



Harmony Day sure was a fun day at school. I especially loved the storytelling session that we had at the end of the day..

swapping seats

Now that I am a big boy I love riding in the front seat..

exploring outside

Do you know what makes me happy... Being outside with a brush and dustpan..ohhh, and being allowed to dig in the garden!!

my new wheels

Thanks Nanny & Poppy for my new wheels.. Now maybe I will be able to keep up with Amelia & Zachary.

daddy's boys

rooom for two

ABC Rocks

What better way to spend a Sunday morning than at the ABC community concert. Of course being Sunday and all I did need a strong cup of coffee to wake me up but after that I was ready to dance to all the fabulous songs sung by Georgie and Jay, The Fairies and the Bananas in Pyjamas.

my turn!!

Hooray, today it is my turn to have a birthday. So, what was the best thing about having a birthday?? Well, the birthday wrapping paper was pretty tasty, as were the m&m's on my cake.. My new Wiggles piano is also pretty cool, and my new Tonka truck is soooo big that I think it might be fun to ride on top of it. Going out for dinner to the place with all of the play equipment was also heaps of fun as there were big open spaces for me to practice my walking. and did I mention that Daddy stayed home from work to spend the day with me?? Hmmmm, trying to decide the very best part of a birthday is hard.. I'll have to reassess next year..

Love Chase

family picnic

Not only did I get to stay at school all day today with my friends but I got to go back to school for dinner with them... Even some of my old kinder friends decided to come along so there were heaps of friends to play with. We all had heaps of full playing tug-of war (my team won of course!), frisbee, and running around the oval chasing the big ball.. Once we were all fun, tired and dusty it was time to head home for a bath. Lucky there's no school tomorrow, I don't think that I have the energy!!!

Love Amelia

boys day out..

After dropping the girls at school the boys headed to the zoo for a day out.. all of the animals were out for out for a play but we especially loved the lions, tiger, and elephants.

kinder fun

Today was my first real day of kinder.. Mum, Dad and Chase all walked me to kinder but once there I was able to stay all by myself!!!! Because we got there so early I was able to do some painting first and I sure didn't waste any time... Smock on, cuddle goodbye to dad and away I go..
