Breakups and Concerts...

Already we have reached that part of the year with all the busyness of end-of-year breakups and Christmas concerts. Beth and I had our playgroup breakup this week, our last playgroup together. The children all enjoyed a small feast for morning tea...

... As usual, Beth was one of the last ones to finish eating, and I'm sure she would have carried on munching all morning if we'd let her!

Surprise surprise! We had a special Christmas visitor to playgroup later in the morning... this was the first time that Beth had ever been willing to approach Santa. In fact, she even did it happily, and was good enough to let me take a photo - her first ever pic with SC.

Last night was Beth's kindy Christmas concert. She has been counting down the days for quite some time, and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Sitting right at the back of the hall, Liam even provided us with some entertainment during other class performances as he danced to the songs being performed. (Including some break-dancing on the floor).

A moving experience...

We've spent the better part of the last few weeks packing up our house at Bald Hills and moving over to our new house in Aspley. During the packing phase, we discovered that Liam loves to pack boxes! He spent one weekend asking us what he could pack next... thanks mate!

Moving day... it began early, but it needn't have. The movers, who were expected at 8am, did not arrive until almost noon due to a sick driver. So my helpers and I spent several hours during the morning sitting around chatting. Quite a relaxing morning for a moving day! But it certainly made for a looong afternoon once they did arrive.

Is it just us, or do we have a lot of stuff? Is this really normal??

It's amazing the things that turn up when you move. This is what turned out to be hiding under our fridge!


The van was chockers, and nor could the trampoline fit into it, so they had to tie it to the back!

So we're in our new house... obviously the best place to take an afternoon nap is on the floor! (Perhaps checking out the new carpet??)
