Cut & Paste

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 19

This week the highlight was Mother's Day on Sunday.

If you want to talk on the phone you need to go and hide otherwise Polly pesters and pesters until she gets a turn.  She calls talking on the phone HELLO and she loves talking to Jack and Evie and Gran and Darra.  Her latest trick is to go hands free and hold the phone between her ear and shoulder and walk around the house while talking.  Two going on twenty two for sure.

Building a cat food tower with grapes on top is great entertainment.

Fred is still enjoying school and is learning so much each week.

If Polly is quiet and doesn't answer me when I call out, it is usually means she is into mischief.  On the rare occasion, she has fallen asleep.  Here she is on the lounge room floor out to it.  Tantrums are exhausting!

Loves coffee time.

Our best attempt at a selfie, we obviously need more practise.

Saturday was footy in Toowoomba for Fred.  Big improvement from his first game, he even managed to score a try.  Gran and Darra came and watched.

Sunday was Mother's Day.  We took Gran out for a lovely breaky and then back home to Gundy.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 18 AND A COUPLE OF LAYOUTS

The big highlight of this week was Fred's first every Cross Country and also a long weekend at the Coast.

This week was the first week of official homework.  Fred has written homework and sight words to learn.  He is pretty keen and really enjoys learning.  Hope it continues.

The usual after school backyard shenanigans.

Thursday was Fred's first school Cross Country.  He was a bit slow to start and then found his mojo and did a bit of overtaking.  Finished about 8th I think.

The cheer squad.

On Thursday afternoon we drove to the Coast for the weekend (Friday was the show holiday for us).  Picked up Jack and Eve after school on Friday.

It was a bit too cold and windy for the beach but we spent a nice afternoon at the park on Saturday.

Saturday night the two bigs, Brett and I went to the St Hilda's musical.  We all really enjoyed it.  Aunty Donna looked after Fred and Polly.  On Sunday we went Go Karting.  Was a big hit!  

That wraps up Week 18.

WEEK 17

This week three out of four went back to school for the start of term 2.  Jack had to be back into boarding on Monday and Evie and I stayed overnight in Brisbane as she didn't have to be back in until Tuesday.

The compulsory sibling photo before the bigs go back to school.

Compulsory bad selfie taken in the car.

New crochet project coming along nicely.

It takes a packet of biscuits and at least a couple of tantrums to do the grocery shopping.

After school bike rides.

The might Under 6 Goondiwindi Emus had their first run of the season on Saturday.  They played 4 games.  Fred really enjoyed himself even though he didn't work up a sweat.

Only 15 more rounds to go!

Peppa Pig and friends enjoy bath time.

On Sunday we travelled to Toowoomba for Jill's 50th birthday lunch.

Jack had his school cross country camp on the weekend.  They ran in the Noosa 5km run on Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 16

The second week of the holidays.  Went way too quickly!  Lots of Easter excitement.

Jack working off some debts.

Renewed interest in lego after seeing the Lego Movie.  Loved the Master Builder concept.

Little shutterbug.

Doing what he does best ... eating and computing.

Helping Mum bake.

A fun little photo shoot of Evie and her friend Lizzie.  And of course there was the support team of Fred, Polly and Doug.

Good Friday was the last ski for the season.  Water was a bit chilly but the kids didn't seem to mind.

On Saturday we drove out to Dirranbandi for Easter and the 150 years celebration of Booligar.  Everyone had a lovely time.  Long drive home Sunday night ready for back to school.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 15

First week of holidays.  Brett and Jack fishing at Stanage.  A trip to Toowoomba.

 

 

Fred had Lily over for a play.  They are great mates and play really well together.

A trip to the park for some afternoon fun.

Fred's first dentist appointment to check on his tooth that he knocked when he fell off his scooter.

Thursday we went to Toowoomba to see Gran and Darra and for Evie to do some shopping. Took Freddie to see the Lego Movie. Stayed overnight and returned home Friday.

The new cleaning lady.

Jumpy jump.

The boys arrived home Sunday afternoon.  It was Brett's birthday on Saturday, so we had a special birthday dinner on Sunday night.  Evie, with the help of Fred and Polly had made his favourite ice cream cake.

Another week bites the dust.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 14

Our last week of school before the Easter break and the week of Polly's mysterious rash.

Polly broke out in a mysterious rash this week.  It covered her entire body.  Two trips to the doctor and we were still none the wiser as to what it was.  Slowly cleared up over a couple of weeks.

Fred had crazy hair day on Wednesday.  His hair is so short that it's a bit hard to make it look crazy.  We decided on the wig but Polly wouldn't share.

 

Thursday I went to a Mothers Morning Tea at Nudgee.  Saw Jack briefly but he had to stay in Brisbane for a rugby clinic.  Then drove to the Coast to pick up Eve.

Eve had a great first term at St Hilda's.  She has made lots of lovely friends and has settled in well to boarding life.  Home for two weeks, yeh.

Friday was Fred's last day of school.  We watched the Easter play and stayed for morning tea.  Eve stayed on for a couple of hours and helped in the Prep classroom.

Putting Eve to work!

Fred earning his pocket money.

Minecraft geeks.

On Saturday Brett left bright and early for the long trip to Stanage Bay.  He picked up Jack in Rockhampton.  Jack had the best trip flying from Brisbane to Rocky and then only having a shortish drive to Stanage.  They are in Stange for a week on a boys' fishing trip.

Thanks for stopping by.
