Not One To Brag BUT..

I played a blinder last night on Scrabble and just had to show it off. The game is still actually in progress so I could lose it but it was a nice boost to the score (yes, and my ego) anyway....

All Growed Up

Yep it's official, we now have two pre-schoolers in the house as today was the twins first day of Kindy. At this stage it's only pre-entry which means just one morning a week for two hours, but next year it will be almost 3 hours, 4 days a week. I can't even imagine having that much time to myself EVERY day. The possibilities are endless.
It went really well, Scarlett was up at 6am wondering if it was time to go yet. They had both helped pack their bags the night before and she was ready to get going. It was very loud here this morning as even Abbey was excited for them.
No tears when I said goodbye to them (well not from them anyway) and that was it.

I felt like an octopus on the way home, like I had too many arms and nothing attached to them, it was strange. The quietness of the house didn't bother me as much as I thought it would..there again I did use a little music therapy to get me through.
They had a great time and each brought me home a painting. I forgot how annoying it was to try to walk along, talk and keep wet paintings from flapping about as we went along, and by the time we were half way home I was running out of hands to guide the kids across the road and wishing that I was actually an octopus.

Anyhow here is a pic from this morning before they headed off on their trip to Kindy..

Isn't that cool? This is for the challenge over at the PBP forums which you can find out more about here

Not a lot going on here, it's a long weekend but we haven't been up to much, just some shopping, mostly for boring stuff. Scarlett and Joe start their pre-entry Kindy in less than 3 weeks now and so we went shopping for lunchboxes which they thought was very exciting. Scarlett chose a lovely pink Disney Princess design and Joe managed to get a big red Spiderman design. New sunhats for both as well and now they are all set for the big day.

We had parent/teacher interviews with Abs teacher the other night and he is extremely impressed with her abilities with English and said she is rating "off the charts" for her age. He likened her reading abilities to that of a Yr7-9 student (she's only Yr 3) and was also impressed with her spelling, grammar and comprehension of what she is reading. He is also very pleased with her maths and she is still above average but has a little room to improve in one or two areas. Overall she seems to be doing great, and I am so glad she is in a great school that knows how to challenge her without pushing too hard.
