The Nugget

Matt and Mike won the half Nugget in Waihi in the weekend! Matt did the running and Mike did the mountain biking! Their team had the interesting name of Teamy McTeam Face. This was because the most popular name for a boat in the news was Boaty McBoat Face. Boys and their ideas!!!

After the race we got to have a little paddle, or in the case of the girls, a swim at the beach! Swimming in May - who would have thought!

 

 

My big boy Zach!

Here Zach is practising being a Daddy. He is taking the garden bin back in after it has been emptied. He surprised me further by putting the extra leaves in it. I love helpful Zach!

Zach our Bucket Filler!

When you do nice things at Kindy you're called a bucket filler! The other day Zachy got his second bucket filler award at Kindy for playing nicely with his friends. It sounds like his friend Amy and him were having so much fun together making up games and involving all the kindy kids as they ran around madly  laughing!

Super Bella Butterfly

It was mufti day at school on Friday and the theme was super heroes. Bella isn't really into super heroes so we decided to make up our own "Super Bella Butterfly". Bella got to wear her new butterfly top that she had just convinced Nanny to sew a whole lot of buttons on and a cape that she'd made at  Alex's 5th birthday party. She completed her outfit with a butterfly hair clip from Vinnie.

Lucia's first ballet class!

Lucia had her first ballet class today! She looked super cute in her pink tutu and ballet shoes! I even managed to get her hair into a little pony tail.

She started out a bit nervous but she proved she was quite a ballerina by the end running everywhere on his tippy toes, pointing her toes and doing some tough leg stretches. She did very well at listening to the teacher. She's very excited about going back next week!

At dinner time she got the star plate for being a good little ballet dancer and trying hard! She was very pleased with herself!
