HPPS Open Day - Education Week 2012

Today was open day. Xavi and I arrived at school at 11am to enjoy lunch with Seth in the glorious playground - yes they have lunch really early so I am now wondering if I should have second lunch or have 2 afternoon teas??
Anyway after enjoying the cold, blustery winter's day for 45mins we then went into the the classrooms. It was good to see some of Seth's work and lovely to see Xavi sit beside him and do 'work' with his big brother.
We then went back outside and watched the 'Hot Peppers'. They were amazing!!! Thinking we should get the old skipping rope out and get some tricks happening.






Blows my mind to think that next year I'll have two classrooms to visit!

The trampoline dog

Indie loves getting up on the trampoline, much to the delight of the boys. She'll even get up there when the boys aren't on it - weird! I don't like her getting up there when the boys are jumping - I am afraid she will break a leg or something and we've been there done that already - with a little boy AND a dog. Although when Xsara did her leg it was from running away. How would I explain it to the vet? 'we think she has broken her leg jumping on the trampoline.... Ahhh yes the dog.... Ummm yeah she gets up there herself'



Please let me on



-Oh man you've done up the zipper



It's just not fair

A day at the theatre

On Saturday we all went to Mittagong Playhouse to watch Mabelle perform in A Kidsummer Night's Dream. It was fabulous!!! Mabelle was the most gorgeous fairy on the stage and I am definitely not biased!! Seth really loved it, Xavier liked it but 2 hours of sitting still is a big ask for a 4 year old wriggler. We weren't allowed to take photos of the actual show. Wish we could have seen it again!!





Preshow blue monster cupcakes which surprisingly they really only ate the icing





This is after the show - just love Mima's funky new haircut x

Choc chip cookies

My mum has the best choc chip cookie recipe in the world. It's worth making the dough and just eating that - so, so yum.
Xavi and I made biscuits on Monday - it was cold, wet and miserable. Xavi ended up eating them on the lounge, watching a DVD and curled up under a blanket - wish I could have done that!

This morning

This photo does not do this rainbow justice. It was so bright and colourful and we watched it all the way to school this morning. Xavi and I then listened to 'God is There' on the way home - God is a God who keeps his promises - oooo yeah!!

Indie update

The good news is that she is settling in well. She didn't bang on the door last night which was lovely! She loves being with people which is really nice.
I found her the other night curled up on the end of Xavier's bed - very cute!


We introduced her to the Sams family via Skype



She is being smothered with Xavi love
