Christmas Time

Tonight we went out to Deloraine for their Christmas Activity, it was a great night. We all got dressed up in period costume. The night was about when Jesus was born so we had sheets as dresses and pillow cases on our heads.. At the start off the night you had to go and get your bag of tokens to spend at the various stalls..You could buy things like Camel Spit, bread with dips, savoury food from the Pita Inn and dessert's from two handsome men...lol Eliza loved the Caesar pita, the Orange Cake and Camel Spit...

This is our bag off tokens , you got enough to something from each stall and then an extra one so you could go back and have your favourite one twice...

We made two loaves of Date and Nut Loaf, to my surprise it was really yummy. They had other things like date cookies, orange cake and Turish Delight..The women at the Pita Inn were kept busy with their popular dishes...Good work ladies....

We had such a fun night and Thank You for all the people who put in all the effort to make it a great night..

High School 2010

This week has been very busy and it was because it was Phebe last week as a Grade 6 student at Riverside Primary. So Tuesday ( which also was my birthday), Phebe and her HOT date for the evening ( Mr Woodward ). She had a great time and all her friends looked really nice and were very excited about the dinner. Of course it's always great to have your Dad there to show you his dance moves....

The next day all the Grade 5/6 were lucky enough to head off to Bridport for the day. It was really nice weather so they had a great time...
On Wednesday Phebe received another Award, "Aussie of the Month"is an award that is voted by the students in the school. From Prep to Grade 6 the students each month are incouraged to vote for someone in the kind who they think is a good role model.. I think that some off the prep kid's voted for her , because there was some funny reasons why they chose Phebe....
On Thrusday was the grade six assembly, which was sad for some of the students. Alice has been friends with Phebe since Kindergarten but is moving onto a private school next year, so it was good to get one last photo..

Yes Phebe look so happy to get another Award in Thursday Assembly. All this year Phebe has been an Public Relations Officer in the school's SRC, which she enjoyed very much..


Phebe has had a great week and is looking forward to moving onto High School. And as a parent I am glad that I can sleep in and not have to worry about making lunch's for a while.

Sarah was crying alot at the end off school, but Phebe's was strong , maybe she's happy that she is going to a school were her Father is not... POOR ELIZA....

Presentation Assembly

Last Thursday Riverside Primary School held their End of Year Presentation Assembly, so off to the High School we went.. Phebe was awarded with an Grade 6 Citizenship Award, which meant she had to go up the front to collect her $50 voucher from Mr Tony Roney who was from the Riverside Lions Club who sponsored the award...

I don't she wanted to go up the front or she was surprised to hear her name called out. As there was about 90 grade 6's and only 10 awards, so we very proud parents at this moment..

Also on the program was the grade 3-4 choir which sang a song called "Reach"as Riverside's motto is "Reach For The Stars"..Eliza has been in the choir from prep, she likes singing in the choir, but because of her height she is always standing at the back of the group...

Also at the Assembly the school got to say Thank You to any staff that were moving on or retiring next year. This was a sad moment for Eliza as Mrs Mc Kenzie is moving to Mowbray next year.. Mrs Mac has been Eliza's teacher for the last two year and is one of those teachers that you don't forget in a hurry.. She has been very good for Eliza and Eliza will miss her very much...Good Luck Mrs Mac
With still a Leaver's Dinner, more Assembly's and class party's left to do I will be glad when it's holidays...

Hat's on!!

Yes it's that time of year again.. Christmas time and photo's involving fluffy red and white hat's. I knew it was going to be a challenge with Eden this year so , first we went for a walk in the bush.. I need a better camera for this to look good.. but oh well!!
Santa if your reading this I would REALLY like an SLR fancy Camera...
Eliza and Phebe always like having their photo together.... Maybe not in a couple of years, so I better make the most of it!!!
Look at the camera EDEN instead off everything else. I think Eliza is thinking " can i go Now"...
Yes we are happy with the wardrobe choices, well some of us were.. Other's not so happy...
One of the better ones.. With some help from Gaz pulling faces at Eden behind the camera we actually got some half decent shots.. Bring on Christmas 2011!!!!!
