November So Far

Okay i will try and catch up on the crazy month that we have had so far!!
There has been blowing bubbles in the rain, a picnic in the park to say goodbye to good friends who are moving, a trip to Portside Wharf to watch Grandma Pat go on a P&O Cruise, a 4th birthday, ten pin bowling, a cubby house construction completed, board game nights, bbq's, going for family runs, baking cakes and cookies, rainy days, VERY hot days and its only the 18th November! Plus we are getting organised for Christmas before the school holidays as the shopping centres are already crazy.

The big event so far has been Harry's 4th birthday and i think i have created a birthday monster.... I love birthdays, christmas etc etc and love these events to last much longer than just the one day.
Harry's birthday went on for a week ..... It all started on the Monday with cake at kindy with his school friends, then the Tuesday Harry, Amelia and I went out for lunch at Sizzler and then pizza and cake that night, Wednesday was cake with Grandma Berns and Poppy Tattsa at their house, Saturday we went ten pin bowling and had so much fun, then Sunday was family BBQ and cake at home! Definitely had more than his fair share of birthday fun this year!!

He loves Kindy and is slowly being moved up into the pre-prep room for next year. He is at Kindy two days a week and also gets to spend a special day at Grandma Berns and Poppy Tattsa's where he gets to do all sorts of wonderful things.

Amelia is nearly 8 months old and growing up much too fast! She is a delightfully happy baby who loves nothing more than playing with Harry and tormenting poor HJ.

She loves drinking water out of her cup and we have also had to buy handles for her bottle so she can feed herself. She is a great eater and will try everything you put in front of her... I love cooking up fruit, veges and meat for her and I am almost certain she eats more than Harry does!

She is trying desperately to crawl and even though she gets herself in all the right positions she either ends up going backwards or her own special "swimming" style with arms and legs going everywhere!! But i am more than happy for her to stay sitting up and not moving (although she is great at getting where she needs to by rolling and sliding along the floor) as she gets this evil grin on her face whenever HJ walks past her and I just know he is going to be her target!!!

So that is us so far and will be an equally chaotic rest of the month .....
