Soccer season wrapped up and we ended with a Sausage
Sizzle party (what the Australians call a BBQ).
Now that our weekends have freed up and the weather is warming up, we
are spending Sunday afternoons at the nearby Oval. An oval in Australia is a large green
space/park. Franklin Park would be
considered an oval. We took Cade’s training wheels off and have
been practicing on the grass. We
were so proud last weekend when he went all the way across the oval. It was one of those great parent moments. While Cade was learning to ride his bike,
Paige spent her time practicing her long jump. Last
weekend she was trying to compete with 10 year old boys.
Last week was a busy week at school. Thursday was Grandparents and Special Guest
Day. I was Cade’s special guest and we
did some activities talking about how school is different now compared to then
and we had a lot to talk about! The boys
treated us to a concert and then joined us for morning tea. Here is Cade’s kindy class picture...too bad their shirts only stay tucked in for the first
hour of the day.
Saturday night was the Great Gatsby themed fundraising
party. We started the evening out at a cute wine bar
with a smaller group of parents and then headed to Cade’s school where they
transformed the Hall into a Gatsby party.
We came away with a few gift certificates- one being an energy healing
session that we won on a spin the wheel game.
Here is the description, “Our
energy healing sessions combine auric cleansing, shamanic journeying, harmonic
sound chimes and crystals from the earth to heal the body from a mind, body,
Spirit and earth perspective. Energy healing aims to clear away stuck energy
and create a strong and flowing channel through your body to open up your heart
centre, creativity and intuition.” Yeah,
I will report back on that life changing experience in a future blog update!
Hope everyone enjoys the long Labor Day weekend. It is Father’s Day weekend here.
