Book week and thank you Donna


Cat In The hat AKA Seamus
Robin (Joseph) Hood high fiving the crowd.
Princess (Sandie) Witchiepoo


Firstly a big thank you to Donna for my little award, I'm meant to pass it on but you all rock so how can I choose. So if you read my blog and you think you are deserving (you know you are) just give yourself one of these.
This week has been book week and today the school celebrated with a dress up day, oh what fun. Seamus went as cat in a hat and won the over all competition, a gift voucher from Angus and Robinson book store. It is amazing what you can do with cardboard and a bit of imagination ( a few scrapbook tools help too,lol) Joseph first started out as Specky McGee but changed his mind at the last minute and went as Robin Hood which won him his class prize, cool hey(again cardboard and imagination thrown together in literally 3 minutes). My younger boys are like me and love to dress up for these sort of things. I remember at when I was at school relishing the time for school plays and dress up days and going all out to create a costume from whatever materials I could find around the house, usually in Mum's sewing basket or big sisters wardrobe.
My Mum was a whiz at whipping up a costume at the last minute, still does it occasionally for her great grand kids. Almost the whole school got into it even the teachers. The gorgeous Sandie came as the wicked witch from snow white but still had her princess fairy wand, just so we wouldn't forget who she really is,lol.
that's all for now, oh and I did a layout this afternoon in around about 30 minutes using Seamus' photos from this morning, will share tomorrow, can't be bothered taking photos tonight, gee I'd like a 12 inch scanner.
Hooroo.
