Woo Hoo ...

It's that time of the week ... so Woo Hoo for:

* becoming an Auntie! Little Stella Jean at just 1.55kg and almost 10 weeks early is doing just fine! Just had to do a spot of shopping for her today ;) Parcel all set to mail tomorrow - man I wish Melbourne was alot closer!

* Finn's great school report that came home on friday - "Finn is a happy and helpful boy and has been a pleasure to teach" - that's my boy!

* finding a cool idea on a blog for a reindeer Christmas card made from outlines of Emma's hands and feet - used her's coz they are the smallest in the house. This card went down a treat with the Kindy teachers and then Finn came home from school today and guess what they had made - yip the same thing!
* getting some cool photos taken with Santa. The NICU unit at Dunedin Hospital do this as a fundraiser each year and this is the 4th year we have supported them, a great deal for $15 you get two prints and a cd full of all the photos they take of your kids - our cd has 49 photos on it!!!
* getting all my Christmas shopping done!
* finishing work for the year (well I think it's all finished anyway unless something super urgent comes in)
* yeah for last day of school tomorrow, then the alarm gets turned off and we can enjoy the holidays without having to rush everywhere!
Whew - that was a big list, time for a bowl of icecream with fresh raspberries! :)

Yum fresh raspberries and ice-cream. That's a great deal for your Santa photo ... getting a cd is good value and supporting a good cause too.

Oh Mich, bet it was hard to stop buying for your new neice...those tiny little baby clothes are just so adorable. We did those reindeer as well - will take a photo and chuck on my blog - our kids used the little wobbly eyes and a pom pom for a nose - there's a few 'drunk' looking reindeer, with one eye going one way...LOL!

What a great card idea Mich - love it!! I know what you mean about baby clothes, I have to stay away from that section in Pumpkin Patch according to hubby to stop me clucking lol!!

Congratulations to Finn on a great report - that's a wonderful comment and I bet you are a proud Mum!

I am also looking forward to not having to get up quite so early, and rush around getting ready for school & Kindy. Bliss!

That's a gorgeous photo of your kids with Santa :-) Can see it on an upcoming layout??
