Just got in

So I managed to get one post in for Feb., pretty slack really but you were warned that I would be slack with no camera to speak of.

Well even though I would love a nice new camera, I decided I at least needed a point and click just so I don't miss keeping records like these. Although be warned quality is not too good.

I guess at some point Princess will lose a tooth, who knows when though, but I should try get a few full mouthed photos now.

Not much news to report. Our lives are busy, busy with school, kindy and forming some new friends for Happy Girl.

I'm loving this stage of our lives atm, except travelling. It's just a really enjoyable stage of life with the best husband in the world to enjoy it with and children that are great company for us and eachother.

First day back at school

Princess really wasn't happy about going back to school, she was quite nervous about starting year one. At the end of Prep the teachers were telling her that she would need to tie her own laces. She would need to do homework, that she would have to do things for herself. As you can imagine the thought of year one would have her sad at the thought of giving up her 'fun' prep.

So when she had to enter her new classroom without mummy being able to enter for long (and today not at all) it made us both feel like crying.

So driving back to pick her up that day I was sad to think that I had to leave her all day long when she was feeling so sad but I am sure no one would be surprised to hear that she LOVES year one.
Her teacher is so nice. There is some new girls in her class (and 1 boy) which means there is 8 boys and 20 girls. I think at their age the teacher is pretty lucky to have such an easy class.

It was also funny how even up to last night she was missing her sisters at school but then this afternoon she got into the car and her sisters start demanding attention from her and she mentions how nice it is to be at school to have some time away from her pesky sisters.

I am sad not to have her home with us but it does make it nice to hear what a great time she has at school.

This time last year- how much has she grown.

Sunday Morning

Just got GH to take a few pic of the girls with his phone this morning, too cute right.
 
 
 They are a bit out of order but this is what GH sees when he leaves in the mornings, he has to give them about a million kisses before he leaves, Happy Girl is extremely persistant and chases him all the way to the door to get her last kiss:)

 

Broken

No not me, my camera so I guess I have been a bit uncaring about my blog lately because really its where I store my photos and without a camera I suppose it will fall into quiet ending. I hope it doesn't but really if I were to start posting posts using just written word, well that could mean trouble:)

Luckily I can use DH's phone for pics when he's around so I can provide some photos. We took the splash pool out and did our usual thing and then the girls were dried and dressed but someone decided that since she was nice and warm again it was time to go for another swim. DH asked me what I was doing when she started to get in. I told him that I was standing right there with his phone as I thought it would be a cute photo:)

Can not believe we only have two weeks left of holidays, I have been in shock and failed to order her school books and received a late fee all because I think 'we have ages yet', well it seems I don't and that makes me sad.

Sweetness is going to start kindy this year, I think she's excited, it's a bit hard to tell with her sometimes. What I can tell you is that things that she used to just decide she could do, she now can do. She enjoys riding her bike now and she spent about 25 minutes this morning just swinging...on the same swing...without stopping.

Oh by the way Happy 2012

First year done

Can you really believe that the school year is over.
Starting here

This is September

Last night was the concert, she was so cute singing hark the herald angels sing!
The year started well but as it progressed Princess started missing home and her family but she has now become used to the idea of school.
But now its time for holidays and I am so happy to be given some time away from the school run.

wow so cute

While looking to do some Christmas shopping online I came across these pattern books.

I know it wouldn't be 'too cool' to dress up in similar clothes to my girls, I still want to, its the rebelliousness in me, ha!

I love these clothes and it certainly encourages me to get out my sewing machine and beg, plead, ask for some help.

But neither I or any of my 'teachers' can read japanese:(

These are my absolute favourite and came from a French design Japanese pattern book.

So tempted but I think by the time I would be clever enough at sewing so that I could use the pattern without instruction I would be making it for the girls and their daughters:)

Wordless Wednesday
