HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY KATE

Hip Hip Hooray. It's a happy day.

Phil woke Kate at 6am as requested by the birthday girl. Opened up a mountain of presents and had a great time playing with each one until it was time to go to school.

Rubilicious!

Some new pics of the divine Miss Ruby

OUR BACKYARD

The Year One's did an item at assembly last Friday called My Backyard. All the children dressed up for the occasion. There were all sorts of animals - platypuses, kookaburras, kangaroos, Tasmanian Devils. Room 2 were flowers. That's my kind of garden.

It was a really dark wet and cold day so the photo is a bit dark.

Fairy Cup Cakes

I had to make 27 cup cakes for Kate to share with her class and teachers tomorrow. Hope they taste as good as they look!

IT'S PARTY TIME!!!

Kate has been waiting an eternity for this day. Her SIXTH birthday party. We had it at Jungle Gym in Willetton and it started at 6pm, which was a novelty in itself. It had been a wet and miserable day all day so by the end of it, the girls were well and truly ready for some action. There was Kate (of course) Ella, Ruby, Jamie, Kayla, Jarrad, Amber, Tayah, Emily, Madison, Max, William, Georgia, Nerissa, Jo-Leigh and Kayla. Unfortunately Drazik and Tiana didn't turn up :(
