Dad's 80th Birthday Party

Last Saturday night 11th February, we celebrated Dad's 80th birthday at Greg and Linda's place and we invited a few of Dad's close friends.

The birthday boy was speechless after the "Horror Movie" has he called it - A DVD of photos spanning 80 years. He was also speechless after "the kids" presented him with a watch engraved - "AJL on your 80th from the kids 10.2.12."

William's First Day at Kinder (Pre-School)

William had his first day at 4 year old Kinder last Friday for 3 hours. He wanted me to stay with him for a little while which I did while he has playing at the play dough table and then the puzzle table - he kept saying "Don't go yet Mummy". I finally got him settled with some other boys playing with the trains. I told him I was leaving - he gave me a kiss and said 'Bye Mum - see you next time". When I picked him up his t-shirt was filthy - his sock were on inside out, because he dressed himself after playing in the sand pit. He made a new friend called Nicholas and is looking forward to going back on Monday afternoon.

This is my journal which my teachers and I will paste pictures of my year at Kinder. I have decorated it with pictures of Nana, Pop, Grandma and Grandpa and pictures of Mummy, Daddy and the things I like to do best - cooking, fishing and camping.



Let's go to Kinder
Don't leave yet Mummy!
