Brestcancer fundraiser

Dave was out the door and off to the B plant...to finaly hand it over.
And we were left with the house work day....humm.
Raining and cold.
Frances rang to say that there was a breakfast on down at Artform to fundraise for breastcancer. Even though I'd already eaten what a great start to the day.
Heaps of people...most of playcentre and mainly music along with mothers of mothers...and a few fathers.
All the kids ate well and some how they managed to stay inside out of the way and pretty quiet.
Ara had her first tangle with a bigger girl and got bowled over which she seemed very confused about.
And we have just learnt about "mine"
My rocks...my pen...my tea...my shoe...but she still has the idea that takeing turns is the way to go so thats good (so far).

Oh mud mud

Down to look at the Horses again.

She ran backwards and forwards through the puddle just above the horses paddock and had a whale of a time. When I said home time she put her hands up and asked to be carried...which I said no thank you to. She walked home without gumboots on and about half way home decided that the two rocks she was carrying would be easier if to hold if they were in her boots.

A climbing frame

Mum and Dad brought Ara a climbing frame and put it up before they left the country. I think if Mum had enough time she would of taken it back down again. But once Ara didn't have "gMamma" looking over her shoulder she started doing really well ie not falling off.
I've also set up a swing using her old wrap which she just loves. I think once some of the other kids come over it will be a hit.

Nana is here at the moment just giving Ara her dinner (my silverbeet is a bit hotter than I expected to share).

I've been walking a bit down to see the horses and Ara wants to go further and she seems to be happy again to go in the backpack...might get fit again carrying a pack ready for a track? Ara pulls out our tramping soxs and stamps her feet and asks for her sox.

The word for today is "watch" plan and simple once and back to playing

New words for today

I've been trying to get Ara dressed in the morning which is as many would say is hard but with the blind up Ara can see outside...
"Jojo..yum yum..rassss" = Jojo is eating grass. We have Jan and Pete's horses in the paddock across the way.
We seem to be having a few words a day in some cases depending on what is happening....from Griffin brining in an "eel" to a new "dress" and its "wet" and "tissue".
I'm not getting any other colour unless its blue...well everything is blue at the moment.

Ara is still a great help around the house putting things 'back' where she thinks they go but even filling up the bathroom with clean towels and tolet rolls (all in their right places of course). How long this will last I don't know so I'll keep on enjoying it for the moment.

Ma and Pa are off to the other side of the world again today...so I will be trying to keep up with some posts.
