Go me!

Snuck up on mum's phone and found this rather lovely email from Mrs McKenzie, my teacher.

Go me!

Thank you Lula. The boys all did a wonderful job today. I was so proud of them all. Enjoy the Nativity play and I look forwards to seeing you on Thursday when Finn receives his special award. What astounds me with Finn- even at this time of the year, he knows he's receiving a big award, peers are staring to relax a little as they become tired and are ready for holidays- Finn continues giving 110%. He is an absolute star- and I hope he has a super relaxing holiday.

Warm Regards

Natascha

Ps Hope playdate with Benjamin went well yesterday, I meant to ask you today how that went.

Here we go again. It's late. It's dark. It's raining. And I'm out flip-flopping in the wet with an umbrella and a torch, looking for Nils's missing blankie, Nuschi. This is episode IX of a never-ending saga. This little guy has made it a habit to get lost in the most incomprehensible places.

He's a lucky one too. This time I found him on the walkway, a few hundreds of meters from home, along with Nils' lucky blue car.

Until next time
Love
Dad

Reading

Ella is learning to read with a new technique. Dad thinks the new way of learning is pretty much 'guessing by images'. It's driving him around the bend.

Ella, on the other hand...

Active weekend

It's been a busy weekend, starting with a Friday dinner with 5 kids (Manon and James on top of the usual team).

Nils was at his usual best, piling on a mischief a minute. We first discovered him attempting to replicate Queensland's floods in the kitchen.

Two minutes after being told off, he got hold of that 200g piece of black chocolate. Which had by then shrunk to something like 80g.

And a Vulcan chocolate salute. "Live long and chocolate".

Dad and I were soon off to Macca's for a nutritious meal. Oarsome!

We got kitted up and got ready for the races at Hampton Downs.

Ready to roll!

Not bad considering the tandem penalty!

We got given the tour of Hampton Downs' main track. Including some backstage entry. This is Race Control, from which all races get monitored and managed.
