It's true, he told me today how annoying it is to go to my web page and find nothing new. So, I thought I'd better put something on here, quick smart. haha
The past few weeks have been a very busy and sentimental time for me and everything seems to be of ending. Since my last post, Chelsea had her final day at school and has only one more exam to go (french written next Wednesday) then she'll have finished high school forever!
Chelsea and her two besties have been friends since Kindergarten and have been at Woodleigh together since grade six. I have a cute photo of them, like this one, on the day they were presented with their grade six badges. I'm pretty sure their heights were totally reversed in that photo - haha. I'm sure they'll be BFF's (that's Best Friends Forever - Dad).
We have also been up to Ballarat for Chelsea's Calisthenics Team competition and we had the best time! It was a super friendly, happy comp' and the girls gave their best performances of the year. They got a second for their Song & Dance item (thank you Neil and Peter for the lucky ties - wink) and got two fourths, for Free Exercises and Clubs. The best part of the trip was how many of the coaching staff came up to me and told me how I should be so proud of Chelsea, what a great leader and reliable performer she is! Is there anything better than having other people tell you how great your kids are? Tears all 'round.
Since then, we've had the Calisthenics Medal presentation day where lots more lovely speeches were made. Also our final Calisthenics class for the year (and the final one I will ever have to drive Chels to, as next year she will be able to drive herself - YAY).
The end of year concert is on this Saturday afternoon, which also happens to be Harry's 13th birthday! Wah! My baby will be soon be a teenager!!! By the end of the year I will officially have NO CHILDREN, I'll have one teen and one adult! boohoo
I am totally loving the week of 30+ weather we are having in Melb this week (30+ degrees and 30+ sunscreen) and we've all been hanging by the pool most afternoons, mostly swimming but some of us couldn't be bothered getting our hair wet. Not Harry, as you can see by this pic. haha
I've been on a bit of a sewing spree lately and so far I made myself a top, which I promptly hated and ended up turning into a cute skirt. Then I made a black singlet top based on my favourite shaped one out of my wardrobe. The next morning I decided to add a row of buttons from my stash to the neckline. It turned out so cute and I've already worn it to work this week.
Tomorrow I am making a couple of sheep costumes for my girlfriend who is a kinder teacher and needs new one for their nativity play. Can't wait to get started on that, because I've got such cute ideas in my head. I just hope they translate to the sewing machine.
Okay so that will have to do for this post. I won't leave it so long next time (promise, Dad). hehe
stay happy :)
