Pete & Zoe's Wedding

We waited from January to celebrate this special day. It was a beautiful day - very emotional, very gorgeous, very heartfelt. Zoe was just the most stunning bride & Pete was the besotted and handsome groom. Xavier did his bit as the ring bearer - we weren't sure how he would go but he was fabulous. Both the boys looked super handsome in their suits, ties and cons. It was just a great day and we were so chuffed to be part of it. Bring on the photos....

Lottie the Ladybug

Xavier has brought home Lottie for the weekend. She is the KF class friend cause Miss Fullwood loves ladybugs. We have to take photos and write stuff in the book. Ordinarily this would make me moan cause I find having to drag a class toy around tedious HOWEVER Xavier is super excited that he finally got a turn and I think he might actually smile for the camera at the wedding - here's hoping Lottie will do her work!!

Wedding ready

Well we are ready to see Pete & Zoe get married tomorrow. Clothes are ironed, shoes are polished, nails are done - just need some colour in my hair and we'll be ready to go! Xavi is the ring bearer - I'm a little nervous about it - Xavier is such a loose cannon!!! Anyway many photos are to follow tomorrow so stay tuned!

Xavi's first excursion

On Wednesday Kindy went to the farm - their first excursion. It's pretty fun to go on a bus and play at the farm. Do you think he was excited?

Birthday Boy

Our Seth turned 9 on Tuesday - NINE!!! Where did that go?? We are so proud of the young man he is growing up to be. Kind, caring, sensitive, a great big brother, clever, good sense of humour, happy to give things a try, passionate.
He was thrilled with his itouch - a joint present from us and both sets of grandparents. He's also loving his Harry Potter wand and glasses and is excited to be going and visiting the Hanna's this holidays. Turning 9 is pretty cool!

Sneaky soccer photo

We will buy Xavier's photos cause it's his first year but they are so expensive and really who ever looks at soccer team photos? Am I a bad mum? Anyway I snuck some sneaky ones on my phone - costs me nothing :)

Bike Ed

This term Seth is doing Bike Education for sport with his beloved Mr Bush. Seth loves to ride and it's great that it's a sport he can look forward to each week. He's not fussed on dancing or AFL. A couple of Mums sent me some photos of Seth setting off on Friday.

37

Today I am 37. To be honest I am not that fussed on turning 37 but what can you do? I have had a lovely day with phone calls from family and friends, lunch with Jenny & Prue and afternoon tea with my boys. We will have Thai for dinner tomorrow night when Bert is home. All in all a good day. It made me reflect today on birthdays past. Here are some memories.... *the birthday I got my pink bike and mum & dad were both so sick with a tummy bug that they got up, gave it to me and went back to bed - Nana looked after us that day *the birthday where we went to Elcaballo Blanco for the day and then came home to the castle cake that mum had made - the cake was fine but the icing was just awful - so, so, so sweet - no fault of mum's the recipe was yuck * every year mum let us choose the cake that we wanted from the Family Circle birthday cake book - I never heard her complain about our choices - ever *When I was in Year 1 and I had a party at home. I invited lots of girls and 2 boys - Hayden and Heath cause they were my friends. Mum made me the clown cake that year. (Not the ugly one - the one that wears the party hat) *I remember the year that Steph and Jen came and spent the day here. Jen gave me a gorgeous purple coat. *Last year I met Liz at the Square and we had a yummy pumpkin and ricotta pastry for breakfast and then had a shop - all with Xavier - it was very nice. *The year that Berty kidnapped me and took me to a secret location which ended up being Bec's house where she had cooked a gorgeous surprise dinner for me with friends. *The year Bert & I turned 30 and we had a joint party with Seth cause he turned 2 - I wore a purple knitted jumper * My 16th that I shared with my Dad - I think it was his 50th?? - or was I 17?? Anyway it was a nice party!! * Many yummy dinners and easy nights with good friends - many of whom now live a long way away * My 21st - what a big party - it was fun - the thought of a big party now makes my stomach churn!! How times change. * Lots of shared birthdays with my Dad who has his birthday the week after mine - I've never really minded that. * The year that Bec got to school early and covered my classroom with huge number 28's (I think it was 28??) - the kids thought it was fabulous and spent most of the day colouring them in - that was the year Bec and I taught Kindy *Mum makes me a lemon meringue pie each year now instead of a cake - I love that pie - I even eat it for breakfast the next day - an annual treat! I am sure that many more will come back to me but they are the ones I can remember right now. Can't complain - I have always had wonderful people in my life who have made birthdays a special day - regardless of the mundane things that needed to happen on it. I am very blessed and although 37 is not a number I love it will grow on me and really - it is what it is!! Bring on another 37 :) Now to go and drink tea and read my book. Happy Birthday to me!

Harry Potter Book 4

If you wanted to find Seth this week he has been on his bed finishing Book 3. This morning he came out of his bedroom looking for Book 4 and is excited at how big it is :)
