Blakes First Field Trip

This week Blake got to go on his first excursion/field trip. His class went on a double decker bus to the beach. They have been talking about transportation,traffic rules and traffic signs this term. He was so excited to go he was counting down the days. His favorite parts were riding on the top, he got to ride on the top on his way back to his school, and also playing tiggie/tag with his friend Christopher. It sounded like they had a great time.

Mother's Day Soup

Today I got to go to Blake's Kinder for lunch. The kids made all the mums soup for lunch. They painted us mugs to put our soup in, the mugs turned out very cute. It is always fun to go to Blake's school he has so much fun there and loves to play with all his friends. Thanks for a fun day Blakey!!!

Mothers Day

I had a very nice Mothers Day it was a little different then we normally do, which meant no breakfast in bed. I ran in the 8K Mothers Day Classic with some of my friends, it was for breast cancer awareness and research. It was a beautiful morning it has been a long time since I ran in any kind of race and I really enjoyed it...I mean I'm no Sam but it was a lot of fun. Since the kids couldn't make me breakfast they had to give me my gifts before we went to the race. They were very excited about the gifts they had picked out for me. It was a very nice day!!! Thank you kids and Trav for making it such a great day!!! I'm so glad I'm your Mum(which I am called more often then not now).





They had things for the kids to do during the race so the boys got their faces painted.

The Great Ocean Road Again

Today Travis, Greg, and Blake hit the Great Ocean Road. Brady, Abby and I decided we would go to church instead. We didn't want to go and get car sick...well Brady and I didn't, Abby would have been happy to go but she wasn't invited. It looks like they had a good time. Greg said it was a long drive...which it is.





How you Doing?

Puffing Billy

This weekend Trav's Uncle Greg came to visit. He had to come to Australia to do some work in Sydney and Melbourne so he decided to stay the weekend with us since he was here. We were very excited to have him come...we love to have people visit us. My kids are having so much fun with him here. Blake seems to be especially fond of him, he has been acting like a bit of a wild man since he got here. Saturday we went for a train ride on Puffing Billy an old steam engine. The train runs through the Dandenong Mountains, it was very pretty with the leafs changing colors. They let people sit in the windows with their feet hanging out of the train which adds to the experience...the kids thought it was great.

Student Council

This week Brady received his Student Council pin. They had a pin ceremony at the Monday morning assembly. He was very proud to get his pin. He was voted by his class members to be on the Student council. The Student Council meets once a month to talk about ways they can improve the school and help the kids at school. Brady has to wear his pin everyday that way if any kids at school need help and see that Brady has a pin they know they can go to him if they need anything he will figure out a way to get them help. Way to go Brady we are very proud of you.
