Monkey in the tree

Science centre excursion

I took the day off work to help out with the excursion to the Science Centre. My group was Bronte, Will and Oscar - and we had a fantastic time. I didn't get much of a chance to talk through any of the science, but it didn't really matter. The main success is that I didn't lose anyone!

Married, old and slow

There are a lot of kids that come attached to a team name of "MOS" (married, old and slow). Below are just a small fraction. Kudos to all those little ones out there for supporting their mums and dads on the field. 

Southbank in winter

Not too shabby...

The joy of Mo

Mo Williams is a bit of a favourite in the house. This one was a dual effort, with Bronte reading most of the lines, and Zach yelling instructions at appropriate points ("Get those sunglasses!").

A very special birthday

Happy Birthday Kate. 

The water boy

Friday afternoon has turned into a regular park play and wine and cheese session with the other prep parents. Just about every week Zach coming home pant-less and top-less as the tap holds far too much fascination. 

Boys + girl

We ventured out to a different park for our usual Friday jaunt: this time to the fabulous Moora park at Shorncliff where we were joined by Millie. Millie was a good reminder on how good it is that Zach is up to walking! 

Ekka 2013

This year we braved the post-school, post-childcare timeslot at the ekka, which also meant we got to see the light show -- AWESOME! Flying men and jumping trucks. Very cool. 

Waiting

For big brother and big sister.

A developing friendship

This is one of Zach's good friends at childcare - Milli. Despite a somewhat rocky start (Zach likes his personnel space; Milli likes to invade it), they are turning thick as thieves together.

A couple of cheekies on the couch

Grandparent activities

Lego building and crystal growing with the grandparents. Both activities a tad beyond the recommended age groups (6+ and 10+ respectively)... But mission, in general, successful (crystals are growing; lego wasn't eaten). 

A usual perch

Super bee

Actually, he also had a Lizard tail on under - so he was a princess lizard fairy bee - or something.

Out the back

Some more shots from the park

With many thanks to Leon for the photos

Hill + scooter

+ winter sun = happy boy. Hanging out at Henry's house with a new puppy, new toys, and a friend is a very fun Friday.
