Introducing......The New Sarah........

Wow - Easter - the last post I did. So much has been happening since then.....probably why I have not been here. Anyway - here I am now. I have heaps of things to post - but I did want to start with this one.

Come on down........Sarah!!

Here is Sarah with her new Hair Cut. She has been asking for quite some time if she can get a Fold. For those that don't know what a Fold is........it's a Fringe. In Sarah's words, it's the bit that Folds over your face.

Sarah had been asking to get a Fold for quite some time. And in fact at the beginning of the year - we went to the Hair dressers to get it done - but when we got there she changed her mind.

So after about 2 solid weeks of asking I booked her in......and off we went. When she got there she said......Excuse me - can you wash my hair like my Mama's?

So they got her in the chair with the cape around her and laid her back to wash her hair. She loved it. Sarah smiled the whole time.

Once her hair was washed and combed out the Hair dresser clipped on a fake Fringe - so Sarah could see what it looked like. The hair dresser asked if she still wanted a Fold. And Sarah smiled widely and nodded.

So a Fold was cut.

Sarah got the full treatment - her hair was styled with a teeny tiny straightener, then some bits pinned back with tiny butterfly clips. Then it was sprayed with glitter. Sarah looked beautiful and she was very happy.

The following day Sarah showed off her Fold at her friends Birthday party.

Easter Egg Hunt!

Ohhh - there has been a good deal of Chocolate around the place lately. The Easter Bunny came and hid some Egg's round the garden. We had just got out of bed when Sarah found this one....


So we found a little basket so Sarah could see if there were any more.....

And there were more.....

And it was not long before they were eaten too.


The week before Easter - Sarah had a Easter Bonnet parade at School. So we made this had. Sarah coloured in some Eggs that we cut out and stuck on. I made some Bunnys that we put round the top.

Overseas Trip!

We went overseas last weekend! Well.........sort of! We went to Rottnest Island which is 19 Kilometres off the coast of Fremantle. It takes about 40 - 45 mins by Ferry. Here's our Ferry. Neil, Ana & Sarah all ready to go. We went to a group from my work - which was lovely. It was great to get together outside of work. It was a fantastic work function. Thank you for taking us. The Island is 11 kilometres long and 4.5 kilometers at it's widest point. You can hire a bike and ride around (it's a 24km ride). When we got there we took the local bus around the Island, to have a look around. As you can see from the pic's Rottnest has beautiful beaches, flora and fauna and these little guys......they are Quokka's. They hop around the place and are quite cute. This one walked across in front of us when we got off the Ferry......he was off to get a drink from a drain.

Here is Jo-ann and Diane on their Bikes.

After a free morning - looking round R0ttnest - we met everyone for a lovely Lunch at the Rottnest Hotel.

Here is Ana sitting with the Girls - Sarah, Nicole & Natasha.

Rod, Darcy, Jack (who's hiding behind Darcy) Kathleen and Graham.

Matthew, Jacinta & Melissa.

Diane, Vincent, Jo-ann & Graham

A Quokka came to lunch too!

After lunch we did various things, some biked, some relaxed with a few beers or wines, some played cricket or Frisbee on the beach. Sarah and I played in the water at the beach.

What a fantastic day we had. We definitely want to go back to Rottnest. It's laid back, beachy and perfect for a day trip or short getaway.

It's Party Time!

Today we had a big Birthday Party at our house! Sarah is turning 5.

I can't believe it - where has all that time gone? It's time for us to Celebrate. We had a Pink / Princess themed Party.

The Invites went out a few weeks ago........

Sarah had 9 friends come to help her party, squeal and eat loads of lollies.

She was very excited and received some lovely gifts - which she ripped into as soon as her friends arrived. Here she is below opening a gift.


We played a few games - Musical Statues, a Lolly Scramble and a Treasure Hunt we ate heaps

of yummy food like Tiny Cups and Saucers, Jelly Oranges, Mini Pin wheels and Fairy Bread.

And then there was Cake!

It was beautiful. All pink, with fluffy feathers and her name in big Pink letters round the side. On the top was a Princess Tiara (that had flashing lights on it) and the number 5. It was Chocolate inside - it was very Yummy.

Whoops - Sarah just wanted to write something......it says...

And this says......Thank you for coming, and have a lovely Christmas.

Sarah loved it when everyone sang Happy Birthday to her.

Sarah played with her new things until bedtime.

One of the New Barbie's - it has 2 x Heads that you can change!

This is Sarah and her little friend Violet. Sarah was given a cooking set which included an Apron, Chef's Hat and some Pot Mitts. She loves them and wore them round most of the afternoon. With the Cooking things were a lovely cook book full of great Cooking ideas and recipes for Kids.

What a great day we had.

Certainly!

Certainly.....that's Sarahs new word. One morning during the week the knocked really loudly on Ana's bedroom door and then marched in as said......."Grrr - turn ya music down - ya woke me up"!

"Did not" - said Ana. And Sarah stomped back to her room.

Then she came out to me and said "Mum, Ana certainly did wake me up"

Later Ana said - she didn't know if I was talking to a 4 year old or a 16 year old.

We laughed more later especially when Sarah and I were out walking this morning and I said to her what a lovely walk we were having. Sarah then said to me - "Yes, well I'll write it up in my diary when I get home"!! WHAT!! Firstly - I didn't know she had a diary and secondly she doesn't know how to write yet! Hee Hee

Anyway the reason for my post today is to share a few pic's of Sarah because we picked up her Glasses this morning. PINK of course! They are really cute. She loves them and has not taken them off yet - except to clean them about a million times!

Doing her craft!

End of School Picnic

At the end of the School Term (last year) we were invited to the Kindy Room Picnic. It was a fun couple of hours.

Firstly Sarah's class did some songs and dances for us.

And then they were all given their portfolio's.

Don't ask me why Sarah has to wear thick winter tights - in the middle of Summer! But she does have her very own unique dress sense.

Then we all headed outside to play some games before we had our picnic.

First we played the Egg and Spoon game (which was really golf ball and spoon).

Then we had to race with a balloon between our legs.

Yes - I had to play too!!

Tell me.......what do you think Sarah is thinking in this pic??

Here is Sarah - sharing her picnic with her friend Beau.
