The end of Westover Pre-school

We dropped you at school on Friday the 18th July for your pre-school leavers party... and what a ball you and all your friends had!! There were tables of shaving foam, a big bucket of jelly, muddy water to be thrown at walls, along with party food, and music etc....You were Filthy when we picked you up!! thankfully you had a change of clothes!!!
You had to say goodbye to all your friends,although we will still be seeing your special friends on play dates. And you hugged your teacher Debbie, with a promise to go back and visit A bit sad, but there are many more exciting days ahead at your new big school Moorings Way, where you start on the 5th September 2008. Not sure who is more nervous.. you or mommy!!?!

I am a Big Brother!!

Here you are with your new baby brother. You were very good at Barb and Ian's while mommy was in hospital, and you couldn't wait for daddy to fetch you from Pre-school so that you could come home and spend time with him on Thursday!

You even came home with a special card for him that you made at pre-school, it said Hello Adam on the front, and you had drawn a picture of you and him on the inside.

You are so good with him, his crying makes you giggle, although i'm sure that novelty will wear off, as your brother seems to have a good set of lungs on him!

you are very gentle, and it's good to see how caring you are with him. I am sure in days and years to come, this will change and before we know it, the two of you will be rough and tumbling all over the place!

For now, I hope you enjoy this special time, and with many memories created on here, you and your brother can look back and see how things were when Adam entered our lives.

The end of a chapter!

You've received your invite for your school leavers party next friday at pre-school....
We've received your file with all your work since joining in January 2007. You really have come a long way in the last year and a half.

Some of the stuff in your file really made us chuckle, like this page all about your family!

The best part being how incy wincy spider grandad is 93!!

You've done all your settling in sessions for your big school and will be starting on the 5th September. We have your uniform - and mummy had her first experience of sewing in name tags!!! Quite a success for someone who cannot stitch on a button!!

I'm sure you will miss all your friends at pre-school, but we'll still make sure we see some of your special friends.

Veggy Patch

When we moved into our house, you were very excited to be able to finally plant a veggy patch.

Daddy cleared out some of the overgrown bushes from the garden bed, and you were very excited to find we have a resident frog living under there!!

You planted tomato, carrot, lettuce, Mealie (corn) and Sunflower seeds, and watered them with your little watering can.

A month or so later, and look at the results! you are so pleased with your patch that everytime someone comes to visit you drag them out to look at your vegetables!

Oh.. and of course Finn kept a watchful eye on the proceedings to make sure we were all doing it correctly!
