This is the way we go to bed........











This is one of Keren's favourite rhymes

to say before we go to bed.

"I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,

I can shake my hands like this and I can shake my feet like that.

When all the cows are sleeping and the sun has gone to bed,

Up jumps the scarecrow and this is what he says.

I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow........................"

Labour weekend project







We managed to fix up an old Jack & Jill double chair we found on the property last year. Dad has been wanting to do this for ages, but Mum thought it a real dumb idea! We forgot to take a before photo but have plenty of after photos to show. It looks like mum was the dumby in the end, 'cause it turned out beautiful.

Pukeko at Clearwater




We were very fortunate to catch up with Jenny and her family on Friday evening for dinner. The girls enjoyed playing with Alex and Dominic. Just a pity mum forgot her camera! Michelle left her top and socks there, so we went back to pick it up at reception and there we saw a cute Pukeko mummy and her babies. It's the first time we got to see little Pukekos. See if you can spot them in the grass.

Gondola Trip
















Today we went up up up with the Gondola. The weather was fantastic and we could see miles and miles of beautiful Banks Peninsula. We went through the Time Tunnel and learned some amazing facts on the volcanic eruptions and of the first settlers in Christchurch. We all had some yummy refreshments in the Summit Cafe.

My Preschool

Hallo everyone,

THIS IS MY PRESCHOOL!










I love coming to school.
I have lots of friends like Sophie (with me in the photo). I often tell mum about her.
Here is Sally. She is one of my teachers at school.
This is one of my favourite spots - I cook, I read and play dress-ups.

Dot's new lambs











Today we ran into Dot at the mall and invited ourselves over when we heard there were new lambs at Wycombe Lodge. They were only a few hours old. They were so cute and cuddly. Keren got a real fright when Tulip came too close when we fed her some sheep nuts. Phew, luckily mum was there to rescue her. Thanks Dot, we had a great time feeding the sheep! We love your new lambies.

New Camera!




At last we have a new camera! Now mum can take millions of silly photos like the one she took of herself!


Mum: "Just checking the settings...smile"
