Fourth update....getting there!

Quite a bit happened in September.

SEPTEMBER 2012
Fathers Day.

This is Moshabelly Penguin, a class toy designed to stimulate creativity within and outside of the classroom.  Moshabelly came for the weekend of Fathers Day.


 Having fun with dad!


 Poor Henry has developed a severe case of eczema.  This is a rude shock as none of the other kids has it - although we call Biddy"Lizard Girl" because she has such rough skin. We have to see the dr about treatment for this as it makes him so miserable.


August saw my Father-in-law celebrate his 70th birthday.  I made the cake and after a bit of thought and changed plans, I arranged for a picture that I had taken of him driving the Chamberlain to be printed onto icing.  The sentiment is a rip off of the badge on the front of the Chamberlain tractors.

For his birthday, all Alan wanted was a family portrait done.  We did a huge extended family shot and then each sub family broke into their group an we photographed separately.  This pic is a snap of the kids waiting for our turn.

 Footy Fever.  I don't care if they barrack for another team (of if they don't barrack for anyone....I think this would be worse!), but they WILL dress in Magpie colours for school and kinder dress ups.

 I finally got my act into gear and got Henry christened.  The priest for the celebration was not Fr Michael because of his being on holidays.  We asked Monica and Libby to be godmothers.

 In the Christening gown that was Mark's and has been worn by all the kids.
 The cake.....a rip off of one of my stamping techniques!!
