Christmas is coming...

Patrick's Cub Pack joined with the Scouts
to be in the Christmas Parade today!It bucketed down all night, and poured until after 10.30a.m.,
then cleared for the parade at 11 a.m.!
Lauren said it was Santa who did it!
ho ho ho
The 4th Launceston Cubs and Scouts
Concentrating on the mission! Conducting? Berating the misbehaving elves!!! "Oh no - Mum's got the camera AGAIN!!!" What a great float! Woo-hoo! This one's for Lauren who loves the bagpipes (not!)...
... and Mum who really does!
****
The 7LA (radio station) stretch Hummer is pretty cool!

And, of course, Santa and Mrs C!

Ho Ho Ho!

My little pony!

Note the rolling eyes and pained "Mum!" expression!

Patrick and Lauren had a great time! We nearly didn't go because of the weather, but we're really glad we did!

(thanks to our own weather bureau who gave us updates)

Shorn!

This is Shorn - whoops - I mean Shayne - having a hair cut! He and Kel have a baa-ter system -
Shayne trims the hedge, Kel trims the steel wool!!!
*Note the sunny day! An hour later - school pick up time-
there was a thunder storm! (see below)

Murphy's law!

Shayne mentioned the "B" word today -
"barbecue"
and now it's thundering and pelting down,
and I have a wet dog cowering in the laundry!

Tabloid Sports

Today was Lauren's Tabloid Sports Day!
Instead of a full-on sports carnival for the Prep - Grade 2's, they have games in small groups. After 10 minutes, each group gets to move on to the next activity. They also have running races for each grade. The grade 6 kids are the marshalls, and choose who gets house points for being a good sport and giving each activity a go. It's great as it's fun and not too competitive! It got rained out last Thursday, so luckily is was a lovely Spring morning, and we got in before the rain!

A giggle of girls!

Getting ready to run!

Parachute fun.

Vortex

Much safer that the javelin we used to use!

Patrick's class got to come out and watch for a while

Lauren's teacher invited Patrick to join the sack race,

and then she had a go too!

I love this photo with the kids up off the ground,
and Lol bossing in the background! Heave! The girls won - Yay! After nearly 2 hours, she'd had enough! Lauren earned 15 house points for Sea - well done Lol!
*Thanks to my apprentice Shayne for some of the photos!
