Family birthday time

this was the only pic I took!
New lego station! Thanks for assembling Pa!

Go Azaleas!!!

So proud of these girls, made it to the semi finals after moving up a grade. They played the best game but lost 12 - 17. My baby girl shot 3 for 3 - Proud Mama!!!!

Now for the recovery!

After falling off his motorbike 3 weeks ago, fracturing his fibular and tearing two ligaments in his knee, one week ago Andrew went under the knife for a MCL repair.  After a week in bed recovering he is slowly moving about on crutches.

Birthday night at home (while Daddy was in hospital)




Happy Birthday to my beautiful boy ... 8 eek!

Happy 8th birthday my darling boy. You make me so happy, your smile, your easy going nature, you are just so loveable and I couldn't imaging life with out you.
You are so kind and thoughtful, and always think of others and are aware of how other people are feeling. You love your sisters and are the happiest when you are at home with us all.
You could sit and play lego for hours and you do almost every day.  You could give or take school if you had the option, but we are so proud that you try so hard and never complain.
You make our lives awesome Harry, please don't ever change. We love you beyond words. Have the best 8th year of your life! xx

Great Story Harry!

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, Harry struggles with his writing and spelling.  His reading is fine and comprehension great, but we are working hard on the writing and spelling still.  Every night he has to write 4 or 5 lines with text of his choice.  He then has to edit it himself.  He generally writes about his weekend, things he's done, things he's looking forward too or recently factual pieces on push bikes vs motor bikes (??). He always come up with the ideas himself.  It is more often than not like pulling teeth to get him to get him to start, but he does it every night of the week.  A couple of weeks ago, he disappeared into his bedroom but was very vocal about not wanting to be disturbed!  He came out with this story.  I will re type it word for word (without the spelling mistakes).  I love it. Even though his writing and spelling needs some work, his imagination and thought process is just awesome.   Love this kid.

"Mr Green Snowman wanted to play with Mr Card, but Mr Card did not want to play with Mr Green Snowman.  I got you this time said Mr Green Snowman! NOOOOO said Mr Card, he was running.
Finally he got a break because he found a sign that was advertising cards.  Mr Card hid on the sign to camouflage.  "Wow it is really hard to stick on a sign" he finally fell off.  I got ya said Mr Green Snowman, now I can play with you said Mr Green Snowman.  OUCH! Paper cut! So Mr Card escaped and got lost and never to be seen again."

The best!

Another couple that I liked and were pretty random were:

"Some things are round like a ball.  Most windows are not round.  But all Clogs have to be round to work"

"When i put a tissue on my nose and blow or blow air from my nose it will go into the atmosphere.  It is so cool!"

"Ways to be sustainable:  we can go to school and do nude food and everyday have shorter showers."


Taekwando

So Harry has started Taekwondo.  A friend on the netball committee recommended the place, she has been an instructor there for years.  Harry absolutely loves it and I think he may have found his sport.
So a few weeks ago when I was sick I asked Andrew to take him to his class.  I gave Andrew specific instructions on where it was, where to park etc as he didn't know where it was.
Turns out Andrew (that owns the centre) was one of Andrews taekwondo instructors when he was younger! I don't think he did it for all that long.  He and his dad lived a few doors down the road from  Andrew as a kid they remembered each other.  He was then looking on the wall and there was a photo taken 25 - 30 years ago with Andrew in the background!!! Coincidence!
