There have been many good happenings around here lateley... One of which is the little Miss' very first Ballet lesson. It was SO much fun. The girls were allowed to express themselves and have fun, and the teacher and her 2 sidekicks were able to actually get them into first position and a few other moves. Gretta cracked it for the first 3 minutes and then had a ball. Her friend Nina from Fishy also came along and together they did great! Not bad for a 3 year old girl. I shock myself when I am reminded that she is only 3.
Baxter also started Karate this week. We are so lucky to have so many activities so close and handy and of such good caliber surrounding us here.
Swimming has been a smashing success - with both of my big kids (age 3 & 4...) dunking under water, torpedoing to the steps, kicking on their own with faces in water... I'm terribly proud and glad that I didn't push myself while we were in Queensland to start them too early. The 70k each way trip to town didn't excite me, nor the cost of doing it too young. I think we've made the right decision.
We also started our week out at the Koonwarra Village School unofficial Homeschooling group. Baxter and Monty and I had a terrific day at the new grounds. Baxter spent most of the day riding his bike (of which he does with complete confidence and expertise! - no training wheels ever!) and Monty spent the day trashing the place but in a good way. We built a teepee out of some big branches, played games and had a load of fun. I'm so excited to be a part of this "unschool school" and anticipating an amazing education for our children there.
I also have some exciting news...
this is MY VEHICLE parked in my .... wait for it....... SHED!!
Holy Crap - and hell has not frozen over yet!
I've been waiting nearly a year to have a shed to park my car in. To have the freezer and dryer in, to have a spare washing line in for those rainy days.... and low and behold - here it is. Hurrah!
and.... we've had some more additions to our family...
they have adorable fluffy tails and are a bit camera shy...
Peter Rabbit and Beatrice Bunny.
Welcome to our menagerie of a family.

Holy toledo those bunnies are so cute! My mum has an absolute HUGE rabbit population feasting on her lawn, but I won't let Matt shoot them because...they're all black!! They look like domestic bunnies. So cute.
Tell me more about this school - sounds fabulous!
Awwww. I still have a picture of you with the Flanner girls at ballet up on the wall here in the office. Those were fun days. I am thrilled that you are close to so many activities for the kids. I think that's great!
How nice that your car has a house now too. My car never will, thanks to your daddy.

Go Gretta and Baxter! - Hannah will be able to dance with Gretta one day and Baxter & Georgia can Karate chop each other!!
Would love to hear more about the school one day, love Kate.
It sounds like you guys have landed in a pretty amazing part of the world! It also sounds like you have had a great first week of the activities year, might not need that PA after all. Have a wonderful weekend. XX
