Our Leading Lady

News today, Asha has the lead in her class's assembly production of the Rainbow Fish. Yes, Asha is *the* Rainbow Fish. I am so incredibly proud. 

Di - get the sewing machine out ;)

Making Music

This morning we braved the wind and rain and I took Asha - and Geordie - to the New Auckland Art Gallery to the kids club. It was great they talked the kids through some pieces then played them some music by artists who make all their own instruments through 'found' objects. 

They then took them into the art room where they made their own instruments. Asha made a little shaker/drum for Lulu from a paper cup and a larger shaker/drum of her own. She was in art heaven (of course) and these pics are from after everyone had gone.

Hopefully we'll be able to go quite often, a great winter Sunday activity. :)

Kath - note the shoes, she LOVES them, and the look so cute on her, thank you so much. 

Threadless and Matching

This post is mainly for Jacquie, here are the girls in their new Threadless tees! They love them. This is as close to matching outfits as I could manage, they were so happy to be wearing similar clothes. 

Aren't they cute? And dontcha just love that Threadless went into their $10 sale mode a few days after I ordered these? Grrr ... but still, very happy. 

The new Sport -after the game ...

lots of mud, and managed to kick a goal (into the other teams goals but no need to tell her apparently) .. she was very proud! 

Loves it!

Lulu also came back covered in mud. *sigh* Into outfit number two for the day by 10am. Winter washing never ends. 

Asha's new love is soccer. Matt came home with the full kit last night, shorts, boots, socks, shin guards and this is Charlotte's team top. Asha is filling in while Charlotte and Natalya are in the UK for 6 weeks visiting Ali's family. I'm very proud of her, she's never afraid to try something new. 

(combined two posts - bit disjointed!)
