4th Tooth and the Theatre

Today Brooke lost her 4th tooth - the other upper front one. She is now missing her two front teeth. Brooke was playing at recess and her friend Kaitlin elbowed her in the mouth accidently. No real harm done and Brooke is not holding any grudges.

Tonight Dad took the girls to see a stage show, The Nargun and the Stars. It was really good. The girls were amazed by the huge puppets as well as the story. It was great to see them really soaking it all in.

Happy Birthday Pa

Today was Pa's birthday. As a special "treat" he got to take Courtney to cubs and stayed as the parent helper. Courtney was really happy to have him come alone. We think Pa had a good time as well. Pa taught CJ how to tie a bowline (knot) and she is now roping loops to her bed head at night.

In the Wars

Dad has been away for the last fortnight. Poor little Brooke, she had few days off earlier in the week with a sore throat and the suddenly broke out into school sores.



Being unable to go to school but really not having anything wrong with her, Brooke got to go swimming at Nana and Grandad's house everyday. Yesterday Brooke was pool side and stepped on a bee, getting stung on the foot. Her first bee sting.

CJ has been busy herself with swimming and cubs. No doubt she will have school sores next week.

More Swimming

The girls are all set for school to go back tomorrow. Brooke has the same teacher as she did last year and CJ has a new teacher to the school. They are both worn out from school holidays and are looking forward to the break.

Today the girls went with Dad to a BBQ with his work mates. Lots of kids and a swimming pool, so you can guess what the girls did all day.
