Australia Day

You dont need to do much to celebrate Australia Day.....

Just greet Australian friends at the door..

Make some Australian flag placemats:

Eat some party pies, sausage rolls and lamingtons:

Have a dance to a song about Australia:

Watch some Wiggles so Mums and Dads can drink a quick Shiraz....

Tom On: Growing Big

When I told Tom the other day that he was going to grow and grow and one day he would be bigger than me. He said: " When I'm so big I'm going to carry you and put you in your bed and tell you about the day and sing you   'Speed Bonnie Boat'."  How nice does that sound.

Thanks "Sid the Science Kid" for inspiring Charlie in all things science. Now we have a Science Book that we can record things in and it is the perfect way to practice cutting, gluing and writing..
