They have all the fun at Kindi. This morning was Sophie’s Kindi Christmas Party. They had an awesome spread of party food (we were on sausage roll duty, which meant taking them out the freezer to defrost at 7am and getting them in the oven ready for the party). The entertainment was provided by the […]

Eels!
Cripes! So many eels hungry for a feed on Saturday ‘avo in the country. We stopped by the Saddleback Cafe at the Country Club Riding Academy to finalise details for Sophie’s 4th Birthday party celebrations and spent a good half hour baiting sticks and feeding the eels. It was a glorious day of sunshine, after […]
Rascal Rabbit let loose in the garden
We have Rascal the rabbit from Kindi for the weekend (again!). This will be the third time this term and we all enjoy having him. He didn’t have anyone to take him home so we volunteered. We’ve let him out in the garden for the first time… Daddy-O is on rabbit watch as I type. […]
Advent castle calendars
The girls spent yesterday afternoon and this morning making advent castle calendars. Daddy-O got in on the act this morning and helped Charli out with her ‘haunted’ castle – eek! Sophie has rainbow stickers hidden under the doors and windows of her castle, which I enjoyed helping her with. We’re really getting in the spirit […]
Cards for their teachers

Christmas cards for their teachers. Charli has done cards for the teacher aides, the headmaster and the school secretary. She’s really hoping to get through Wednesday’s audition […]
Meeting Father Christmas
‘Ho, ho, ho!’ The girls were thrilled to meet Father Christmas at Kirkcaldie and Stains recently. He was really authentic. Charli had a massive beam on her face for ages afterwards. She was really overwhelmed and her big eyes were glazed over with wonder. Sophie was also in total awe. Sooooo cute! And what did […]
Daddy and Daughter face-painting moment
Sophie is at her quietest and calmest when she’s having her face painted. It’s quite rare for our little chatter box to stop still for a moment and, in the past, face painting has come in handy when we’ve had to wait a while for something like the car to finish having it’s W.O.F. She […]
Let the countdown begin!
After a blast of summery sunshine on Sunday the clouds have rolled in with perfect timing for the Christmas countdown to commence. The heavy rain clouds filling the sky make a befitting backdrop for twinkling lights. It’s normally rare to see their sparkle much before 9pm at this time of year; but the downpour has […]
