Disney On Ice Rocks !!!

Ok so on the weekend the girls, mum and I headed to Disney On Ice. We have been to a fair few of these shows but have NEVER been so close.

This kids had no idea that we were going but I have secretly been waiting for this day for months !! I love all things Disney and couldn't wait to get into our third row seats.

As you all know I LOVE to take pictures and so there will be a stack of photos attached to this post. But be thankful that I am not posting all of the 112 photos that I did take !!! I really need to book tickets to two shows as I saw most of the show through the lens of my camera !!!

Just had to take a pic of the kids walking with their Disneyland hats on !!

See how close we were.

Love Mickey Mouse xxx

This has to be my favourite photo !!

The lovely Fairy Godmother

Start of the second half.

The beautiful Minnie Mouse xx

The crowd went nuts when these guys came out !!

I just love Buzz's face in this shot !!

Just before the end of the show the VIP's are allowed to get right down next to the rink and say hello to the characters !! Woohoo for VIP seats !! The kids were ready to run and lucky we were able to get right in the front !!! I think though that I was the most excited !!

That's Snow White shaking C's hand !!

That's my hand getting a hi five from Stitch with Lilo close behind !!

I have to say that this Disney show was one of the best that I have seen. The costumes were amazing and there were so many characters from so many different movies. The extra cost for the VIP tickets was well worth it and I will definitely be doing it again next time they all come to town.

My Sporty Girls

This post is a little behind time because I have been flat out working which has been great fun.

So over the past couple of the weeks the girls have been very sporty. C was lucky enough to qualify for the district cross country and the school athletics carnival was also held.

The first part of this post is C at the cross country. She was so excited to be able to go and we were very proud of her achievements .

One very excited child before the event.

Waiting for her age group to be called.

Getting ready to start a pretty tough race.

Go, go, go !!!

C ran a fantastic race !!!

One VERY exhausted child !!!

 C ran an awesome race for her first go coming in the middle of the pack, but by the end she was exhausted. Her reaction to the day was that she NEVER wants to do it again !!! Maybe she will change her mind next year !!!!

Now onto the athletics carnival. This year I did a lot of running around the field myself chasing both the girls trying to make sure that I saw each one do all of their events. E was very excited about the whole idea of trying all the new sports !!!

First up E with the high jump. Very funny to watch !!!

The kindy kids just had to jump on the mat. Pretty funny cause that mat is pretty high !!!

Next up was C with the 100 meters.

Great running action C !!!

E getting her hat tossed about with the parachute.

C doing a great job on long jump. She jumped 1m  67cm.

E trying very hard not to drop her bean bag in the relays.

Don't drop that egg !!!

C trying out shot put with a proper ball this year.

Last event for C was the high jump

All in all it wasn't a bad day although E did go home before lunch and C lasted till the end of lunch. Neither wanted to finish the day. I don't blame them. The weather was really hot so the kids got really tired real quick and so did I !!! I was more than happy to go home !!

I am very proud of both my girls for getting in and having a good go at everything they do.

Crafting

During the last school holidays C invited some of her friends over for a scrap booking day !! Slowly but surely she is turning them all into scrap booking fans !!!

The girls hard at work !!

One happy girl, friends over and scrap booking !!!

The lovely Miss B who is a great scrap booker !!

Miss K who also loves it !!

The lovely Miss M who is just starting out

These two had a great time with their craft !!

All in all it was a good day but I think 6 kids under the one roof was a little too much for me to handle at one time !!! Although the girls all did have a great time and created some great pages. We will see how we go the next holidays !!!

Animals, eggs and birthdays.

Happy Easter everyone !!

This weekend has been pretty busy in the Moore house. First stop was an Easter egg hunt and fun day in Kiama followed by a lovely dinner for Sandy's birthday then Sunday was of course Easter morning with the kids enjoying a wonderful chocolate breakfast then a visit to Grandma for more eggs !!!!!

First stop was Kiama for an Easter egg hunt and fun day. The kids had a great time, feeding animals, jumping castles, helicopter, surf boats and fire engines !!!

Waiting patiently for her turn to collect eggs.

Now for C's turn.

On your marks, get set .......

GO !!!!!

The egg hunt was so funny to watch. The kids didn't know where to go. The ladies in the middle would throw some eggs and the kids would swarm for the eggs. Except for mine !!! Then they would walk like a flock of sheep to the next lot !! E ended up with 5 eggs on her own and C came back with 3 cause she complained about the other kids being to rough. Funny thing was that C wanted to go in with the next group because there weren't so many kids but I pointed out that they would be a lot rougher so that changed her mind real quick !!!

Dr Fruit Loop. All money from the day went to the "doctors" that help kids have some fun while in hospital.

My Easter bunnies !!

Happy 42nd Birthday Sandy !!!

The Easter stash !!

Mum showing off her shiny new teeth. Love them !!!!

So that has been our Easter weekend. Sorry there aren't any pictures from Sandy's birthday dinner or the kids looking for eggs. They were so quick getting the eggs in Kiama and at home that I didn't get a chance. Plus both girls were lost at the Kiama egg hunt. But a great weekend has been had.

Easter Hat Parade

Well it's that time of the year again when feathers fly and chicks come out to play !! Easter Hat Parade time !!!

With E being in Kinder it was her first official parade. Of course she has been in numerous ones at preschool and has even been in the school parade before with C but this was her first real school parade. To say that she was excited was an understatement. The hat was created at home last weekend and has been in safe keeping since.

C wasn't going to miss out so went to school with these cute ears !!

Two happy kids ready for a big day of parading !!!

Applying the finishing touches at school.

Tada !!! The finished product !!! Happy smiles all round.

So once the hats had been finished off in class it was time for mum to grab her seat and watch them all parade around and see if E would participate in the dancing. I say this because when C was in Kinder she did not move a muscle. No matter what the teacher said or did C was not dancing !!!

No need to worry though. E was more than happy to get in and have a go although the first partner she had was channeling C !!! He just stood there with his arms crossed. Thank goodness the teacher saw this and changed partners.

All the kids ready to get going.

In between dances !!!

Dancing the day away !!

What a fantastic day watching the kids parade around so proudly with their Easter hats and having a great time dancing. They all did a great job !! Unfortunately we didn't come home with any of the Easter baskets from the raffle. Oh well better luck next year !!!

After the parade the kids went back to the classroom. What a huge surprise they all got when they discovered that the Easter Bunny has been by and left them all some Easter Eggs !!!

Now the countdown is on for another visit from the big Bunny on Saturday night.

xxxx HAPPY EASTER xxxx
