Well hello there all. My time does fly when you don’t keep track of
it hey???
Well it has been 4 weeks since I
put anything on the blog – and it has been an educational time J
Firstly – we had the pleasure of
having our niece stay with us until the 13th January.
She was an immediate hit with the three grandchildren who all wanted to
claim her and spend the maximum time with her.
After 24hours we had to put limits on when she was available J If she was in her bedroom then she was off
limits – and because she is such a nice girl – these were minimal.
We had a trip into ‘Brisvegas’ on the train and had a great afternoon at
Southbank.
The Arbour is starting to look really lovely. Such a shady place to walk.
We got home from our trip to
South Bank and took the family out to dinner at the local sports club to wish
Holly a safe trip home the next day.
The
boys love their cousin.
with cousin Ben and Beckie
with Aunty Barb and Uncle Darryl
Missy G was not with us this last
week as she was spending time with her father.
She was VERY upset when she realised that we had been into the city, on
the TRAIN, with Holly, without her…….
We are slowly getting used to
having 2 very young persons in the house.
Yep – it is very hard to sleep in when they are jumping on the floor
above your head J The 12 year old tends to keep to himself a
little and is USUALLY quiet :D
So for the next couple of weeks
it was full-steam-ahead as the children got to go and see their new schools and
begin to get things ready for a brand new year.
Mr B is going to the local High school and it has a dance troupe and
dance academy so he was hopeful of getting in.
Miss G is going to the local
Primary school and seems very eager to get there.
Master M is going to go to the
local Daycare centre and wants to meet new friends.
We are still planning on doing
our trip around the country this year and that will give Beck and the children
time to get into a routine. We have both
the little ones in the same room, but once Darryl and I head out on our trip
that will change and they will have their own rooms. Uncle Ben will continue to live here also –
unless a better job offer comes up. J
So – Mr B started in year 8 on
the same day that Miss G started year 1.
Hmmm Mum could not split herself in half so she went to the first day
with Miss G and Nanna and Granddad went to the first day with Mr B. Nanna took copious notes so that Mum knew
what was happening. Mr B was the only
boy to get an application for the dance try-outs – so hopefully that is a good
sign. His homeroom teacher is to be Mr D
A Walker. J
:D Yep – How co-incidental is that????
Looks like he really likes his uniform hey?
Cutie
Mr B is a little upset as he
wanted to do Japanese but they have put him into German. That’s good because then he can teach Nanna
to sprechen zie Deutch. J
J Mr B also got into Dance troupe and contemporary dance. He is VERY happy....
Miss G is liking her teachers
very much and wants to go to school so that is Good!.
The second week into school and
Mr B’s classes and homeroom were changed. L He felt very upset by this as he was just getting to know some of his class-mates and his Mum went
to the school to sort it out. Apparently
because there were more extra students than planned, the school decided to move
some of the students into different classes.
Thankfully they saw the error of changing his classes and moved Mr B back to his original
homeroom BUT changed some of the electives and now he is very happy as he is
now learning Japanese.
During this time Miss G began to
get clingy with Mum as she was being dropped off at school. Hopefully it is just a passing phase and she
will settle in. She says she is making
new friends and loves her teachers so that is good.
Master M is really enjoying the
two days a week at ‘kids’. He loves the
interaction with the other children and his speech is improving.
