Busy weekend

Last Friday afternoon, the girls had a disco after school and they had a great time. The girls wore matching dresses, personally fitted by Grandma.



Both of the girls are starting to think about Christmas. Courtney has drafted a few letters to Santa Claus, below is one of her first efforts.



Tonight Courtney got a little confused. Grandma and Pa explained how Aunty Rita is adopted and how she has brothers that are not Dad, nor Uncle Scott. Complicated for a seven year old.

Also tonight, Courtney wanted to listed to Christmas carols, and put on a CD. On reading the cover, she announced that one of the songs was sung by Frankenstein... Sinatra is a difficult word to pronounce.

Halloween Photo

Aunty Kirstie has sent through the photots of the night that she took the girl Trick or Treating. The girls had a ball this night.

Under the sprinklers

This afternoon, the girls came over to have dinner. When Grandma and Aunty Les went down to pick up the Chinese takeaway Dad assumed that the girls went with them. 10 minutes later, Grandma and Les returned home to find the girls, still in their school uniforms complete with shoes, playing under the sprinkler – soaked.

 

Not wanting to take the blame, Brooke straight away said “but, Pa let us out the front”

 

The First Filling

Today CJ had her first filling. That is one more than her father has ever had.

Courtney tells us that the Denist had to put her tooth to sleep with some gel on a cotton tip and then they showed her what the drill felt like on her arm. She was surprised to discover that the drill feels really bumpy in your head when they are drilling into your tooth.

New Blogger

Blogger has changed their format a little so Dad is currently learning his way around a slightly different system. Shouldn't take too long before everything is back to normal.


Brooke is slowly recovering from her week of being sick, she is almost back to 100% now. Keeping that in mind, the girls had a fairly quiet Saturday but got to ride their bikes in the afternoon and then they watched the Wizard of Oz.



On Sunday we went to Bunnings and made planter boxes and then in the afternoon, we went to Mindarie for the blessing of the (crayfishing) fleet. Once again we lined up for the face painting which ended in somewhat mixed results...

Worthy of note was the incident when Brooke was pouring herself a glass on milk at the kitchen counter. Being that the counter is about her chin height, it was a tough ask for a little girl to have a two litre container above her head and neatly pour the milk into the glass. When she spilt a little milk, Courtney started to tell her off. Dad was just about to throw out the line about crying and spilt milk when Brooke defended herself saying, "Courtney, my tippy toes weren't long enough"

Incursion

This week Courtney had an school "incursion"... A school trip to the assembley area to see the reptile man...

In other news, Brooke has been sick most of the week with a stomach bug and CJ has been summonsed to attend the school dentist to have a small filling. She is a little concerned.

Illness

This morning Courtney woke up with a sore throat and feeling a little unwell. Brooke woke up sniffing and coughing.

Brooke refused any suggestion that she should stay home. Being that she only gets to go to school two day a week, she was not keen to miss out on anything. Courtney on the other hand, leapt at the chance to skip school.

Dad took the day off work today so he picked Courtney and Brooke up, took Brooke to school and then dropped CJ on the couch at Grandma and Pa's house. It appears that not being allowed to do anything fixed up her sickness fairly quickly.

This afternoon Dad and Pa went and watched CJ's netball training. Sorry no photos allowed....?
