Last Minute Cramming for December

Another month passed and I still haven't added November's photos......maybe I'll have more time in 2012............

Where Has November GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard on the radio today that it is a month since the All Blacks won the world cup which made me think heck its that long since we blogged!

GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This little All Black is so ready to see his heros in action!  I wonder if these sportmens really understand how significantly they impact on New Zealands young minds!

This was a warmup on the grandstand. (Thankfully no one fell).

 Party Central!

Front Row Seats

I would have thought a 105 inch screen wouldn't require up close viewing, but these two are pretty happy perched on their boxes watching the AB's.

soon after this Florence hit the deck....poor darling.  She hopped back on.

Strike!

Sunday was rainy and wet so we headed to the bowling alley...scary!  That is one determined face on my boy.

 A very close eye needed to be kept on Florence as I found her numerous times with a bowling ball in hand ready to fire it down the lane - trouble is its hard not to keep your back turned when you're bowling your ball.  Surprisingly she never tried to chase the ball down the alley, now that would have been fun.

F

Hector the School Boy!

Well, he is there right now and not a tear to be seen!  The whole family walked him to school this morning and it was all very easy.  He's met his new teacher Mrs Price, found his desk, and it appears he is loving it, wonder if he'll think the same by this afternoon or this time next week?

The wind this morning made for a few funky fringes

A little bit apprehensive as we get closer to the school - he bolted all the way until the schol was in sight.

All the stationery lined up, and this is the side of Mrs Price!

Sitting at his desk, with the blue star.  A little girl Jessica is also at his table.

Here is Room 20 with all the newbees tucked safely inside and all the parents gone so they can finally get down to business.

AND NOW ITS AFTER SCHOOL AND...................................
