I almost forgot.......
Paddy had a visit to the Limb Centre on Monday. They are really pleased with how she is walking, her stumpy is looking great, and there is no rubbing happening. She doesn't need a new leg just yet. Paddy is very little, she is about 6 cms shorter than Georgie even though they are identical, I think she is very dainty!! I am so pleased that they are happy with how she is going!!
Catch up time
Wow have things been busy, I can't believe it has been about three weeks since my last blog! I have been busy baking, I have made eight small Christmas cakes, four medium sized ones. John and I have done about 55 cards, sent presents off overseas, Christmas shopping, plus the everyday stuff, Play ball, swimming, athletics, school and kindy!!! It is all good through, the weather has been fabulous, warm and sunny and it is almost the summer holidays. I can't wait, no school lunches for six weeks, YAY!!!!!! Emma got her report today and she did really well, we are very proud of our Emma!
John's Birthday...
This week John celebrated his 46th birthday (hope he doesn't mind me revealing his true age!) On his actual birthday we went to our lovely friends Nicola and Andrew's house, and we feasted on scallops, smoked salmon, baked peaches and birthday cake, it was fantastic! The next day the family all went out to dinner (why at this time of year all you seem to do is eat?). We had a lovely time as well, have to make sure I do extra mileage with the walking this week.
Friends for dinner
As we are heading towards Christmas we thought we would have a few friends over for dinner, and what a perfect time to get out the Choccy Fountain, let me tell you it was delicious. I did a big platter of fruit and nougat and then everyone just dipped in, it was so good!! A big hit with everyone especially the kids!
A school visit
To get the girls ready for school, they have two visits. Of course they wanted to wear their uniforms, I can't believe how grown up they look! They loved their visit, they spent a morning in a classroom doing lots of activities. The first thing Paddy said was, 'I've got a magic leg'. The other children were completely fascinated and they all tried very hard not to stare, Paddy didn't mind she just explained the best she could.
So Paddy and Georgie only have just over a week of kindy left, and I just can't believe that they are starting school next year, where have those five years gone. Emma my big girl is going to be in Year three next year, it only seemed like yesterday that she was starting school, I think I am going to have an empty nest syndrome when they all will be at school!
School sports day....
Emma in the relay
A few weeks back the Junior School had its sports day, again the weather was fabulous, so I packed a picnic lunch, along with lots of other Mums and Dads and it was a great day! Emma seemed to really enjoy herself, and even Paddy and Georgie went in a pre-school running race. Paddy did so well, she didn't come last and that was all that mattered to her. I know in this P.C world we live in it doesn't matter if you win or lose, blah, blah, blah but to Paddy it does,and she was thrilled to bits that she didn't!!!! My Mum who spent the day with us got all emotional watching Paddy, as she tried so hard, and of course we can't forget Georgie, I think she got second!!
Kindy Disco
I have been so busy and I haven't blogged for a while, I have a few minutes before dinner so I will try to catch up on a bit of news. First off we had the kindy disco, the girls had a great time, and the weather was just brilliant for it. There was a bar.b.que and lots of great music. The girls danced the whole time, I think John enjoyed having a little boogie as well!!!!!
