D is for Dance ...

Whether you have dancing shoes on or a mop!  My helper was cleaning the balconies a couple of days ago and the kids decided they would "help"!!  My helper and I stood back and had a good giggle at their shenanigans!!

D is also for distraught!!  Not sure why he was so upset here ... I don't think it was the clothes, because he had stopped crying by the time we got to the car!  Just being cranky I think!!!

I got some good pics of him at school in the little outfit that Aaron wore in 2008 (you can check that out here).  (By the way Aaron was so funny this morning.  He yelled at me that he "WASN'T getting dressed up in any ole Indian outfit".  So I explained that no he didn't have to.  But he keep yelling at me and then pointed to the outfit Samuel's wearing which I had hanging on a coat hanger on the door handle!  I said to him "do you really think you can still fit that?  Shall we try?"  hehee   He calmed right down when he realised it wasn't for him!  He doesn't like dressing up in Indian or Chinese costume much!)  ;-)

After I had dropped Samuel off at school, I rushed down to see Maddison.  The Kindy kids all dressed up in Indian costume today and performed a dance for us in the courtyard to some Indian music.  They were so cute, wiggling their fingers and shaking their 'booty'! hehee

I took this pic during their performance - it's less than half the kids.

Thanks for visiting.

The last week in pics

Maddison's class dressed up in Malaysian costume for a song/dance performance at a school assembly last week.

 Aaron got new soccer shoes which Samuel thought were his for a while!  ;-)

 Last Saturday we went to a BBQ with a bunch of "kiwi's" associated with the school.  Was a lovely evening - heaps of food and the kids enjoyed the pool.

 I didn't let Samuel go swimming because of his cold, but he had great fun in the playground.

 Sunday afternoon Aaron and Maddison made a lego game.

 It was pretty neat.  They threw a dice and then moved their mini figures around the board.  :-)

 Tuesday Samuel had his first visit to the dentist.  He quite liked being able to "spit" in the basin all the time hehee

 Today at school the kids wore yellow for a fund raiser for cancer children.

Maddison had a dance a thon in the morning which I went along too.  Such fun to watch them leaping and hopping about hehee  Do you like her "brown banana"???  (That's what she called her bandanna hehee she couldn't pronounce it properly!)  :-)

 Doing a spot of break dancing!

and heel kicking!

Tonight we've had a practice for our New Zealand performance at the school's United Nations concert early next month.  The room we were practicing in had floor to ceiling mirrors along one wall ... Maddison thought it was WONDERFUL and spent much of her time swinging her Maori poi's around, dancing and leaping about looking at herself the entire time and generally getting in everyone's way!  Sigh ... I live in hope she will be somewhat more restrained and at least looking part of the NZ kids on the day of the performance!  ;-)

That's what's been happening around here!  Tomorrow's biggest task is getting Samuel's hair cut - if you hear a little boy screaming, don't worry ... it will just be him!  For some reason he doesn't like getting his hair cut at all!  He's well overdue for a cut though, I could put his hair in pig tails at the moment I reckon!
