December 1st

Today was a day all about Hannah.  To celebrate Movember (and to raise money) her school did a moustache day.  This meant for any children that wanted, a moustache would be painted onto their face.  Of course Hannah did so she took her $5 in.  Her mo, when she got home, had disappeared but I found a great photo of her and her friends taken at school.



One of her top teeth has been wobbly for ages.  It really hasn't wanted to come out until today.  We came home after swimming and it was just about out.  I asked her if she wanted me to pull it out, she nodded, so I did !!  She was very excited as it meant that the tooth fairy would visit.  She's a jewellry box in the shape of a crown.  Normally the lid would stay open but for some reason it just wasnt' happening.  We manage to put something in to stop it from closing - this was so that the tooth fairy could just fly in take the tooth and leave some money AND then get out again !!


Also, at swimming Hannah got given a badge.  She got given it as she can now swim 25m !!  We were very impressed with that.  Victoria had got hers the day before for 10m !!  Which was also very impressive.  I don't have a photo of her as she didn't want me to take one !!

Victoria's Christmas Play 2011

Today was Victoria's school Christmas play.  She has been practicing her lines for a number of weeks now.  When I went to help her the other day (I now know the lines) I got told off - "These are my lines NOT yours" (with her hands on her hips)!!  Her class - Barn Owls - were doing it with one of the younger classes - Hedgehogs.  They all did very well.

The Barn Owls class were performing parts of the Nativety story and Victoria was an angel.  Not any angel but Angel No 2 !!

Paul and I managed to nab front row seats - first time in 4 years that that happened !!  The children came out and even though we were right there in front Victoria didn't see us - there was abit of a perplexed look on her face but that disappeared when she saw us.  Hannah was at school as she was going on a school trip at the same time.  I had to record Victoria saying her lines so that Hannah could see how she did.
