Mark had his sports carnival on Thomas' birthday. It is the first one he has had, as his Prep one was rained out and last year we were in Tassie. He was thrilled to be going. Must admit as a parent not that fun to watch, as they did not give ribbons to the kids who won etc, and the races were so close together, you often did not even know who had won. Mark's house came third by one point.... He had fun though. I got sun burned for the first time in years!!

Thomas is 6!

Well our little Thomas turned 6 on Friday. He unwrapped his pressies in the morning and had pancakes for breakfast, then it was off to school. I baked him some cupcakes to share with his class, but did not join him in his class that day as Mark had his sports carnival that day too. We went to Mc Donalds for dinner and let the kids play. The next day we had a picnic in the park with some of Thomas' friends. It was a very windy day and a bit cold as a result. The kids had fun though. We had a treasure hunt near the waterfall, and made paper planes to fly in the crazy wind. Stephen's family came home with us for lunch. Marion stayed with us for the night. It was a busy day!
What can I say about our little man this year? He is still a very fun loving, easy going, delightful little guy, who plays really well. He is still very emotional when something goes wrong, and can scream like he is dying when he sustains even a minor injury! He likes to play lego - especially building Hero Factory guys - he still likes the good guys best. He also likes his Beyblades. He has been doing well at school, and is very well behaved. He is now reading a bit. His teacher says she would be happy to have a whole class of Thomas'!! He is also our food monster, and loves chocolate, lollies, etc.. He also likes salad and pickled cucumbers which the other kids won't touch. He is starting to be more interested in sport and likes tennis and soccer at the moment. He is still our snuggly little boy. We love you Thomas!

Max

We got our little puppy Max on Saturday. He is a Miniature Schnauzer, and is about 8 weeks old. He is a gentle little guy so far, and the kids have loved him. We have had one good night with him and one very bad night (we are making him sleep on the verandah). We have taught him to go up and down the stairs since he came home. He has been sleeping a lot today - so I hope he sleeps tonight!! - bit like having a newborn again! Except you can't give him a bottle and put him back to bed. I am sure our neighbours love us after last night! Oh well...
