September has always been a little bit crazy in our house, but now we also have sports carnival, school musical gala, primary school play, Thomas's school camp and school portfolio viewing night as well!!! Mad! So here we go on a very short, but sweet, catch up on the last 2 weeks.
James and I went to a staff party at school celebrating the upcoming wedding of our art teacher - her and her finace were both born in 1983, so the party had an 80s theme. Gosh the fashions were tragic then! And to think that I thought it was so cool at the time .... I also did a book reading session in Thomas's class as part of their read in bed day, it was so much fun. My birthday - Thomas made me a cake while he was on a sleepover at Veronica's house. The Year 2 class went on an excursion to Perth - Scitech was one of our stops and I couldnt resist having a play on some of my favourite things there.
Thomas had a school camp - he played totem tennis, but also rode a horse, successfully milked a cow and fed pigs. By all accounts he had a blast. He also had some time out at Veronica's playing on her own personal BMX track. He was nowhere near as confident as her, but soon managed to pick up some speed. His class held a strings mini olympics - Thomas played Hot Cross Buns on the cello. But the biggest thing of all was the Scrutinise the Scientist night for the Year 3 / 4 challenge and extension kids. Thomas was Neil Armstrong and has spent all term preparing for this night. He had the costume, a model of the lunar module and a model of the Saturn V rocket, a biography and birth certificate, a mission map, a light up moon, but the most popular attraction was the giveaway freeze dried icecream and chocolate lunar asteroids. He had so much fun, but especially when the principal asked him the question "What parts did the Saturn V rocket have?" (the lunar module was a question box in disguise, with preprepared questions for the audience to ask). Thomas's model of the Saturn V rocket was designed so he could pull it all apart exactly like the real thing breaks apart at different stages. It was very cool!
Henry has been getting up to his usual mischief - pinching Daddy's dessert at my birthday dinner, deciding that Elmo needed to sit at the breakfast table and taste testing apples in the fruit bowl then putting them back again for unsuspecting people to find in their lunch box some hours later!!
School holidays now - thank goodness! We have lots of appointments and cub scout catch up and scrapping catch up on the agenda. But the best bit is when I go to Perth for 3 nights, child and husband free to shop with Mum!! Yay!!!!
Enjoy.
Amanda
