Guess what I won!!!!

I can home today to a package from the syfy channel and it contained a Lego game called the Hobbit woo hoo!

Ooooo it's hot

Reached 39.7 C here (Greenbank) today. My poor old putty tat Lulu who turned 20 late last year is sure feeling the heat this year so we had to put the air con on for her (at least she is a good excuse)😊. It has cooled off tonight so I think there is a decent chance of sleep unlike last night, although part of my problem is a sore back due to that time of the month.

Whistler wildlife

My oldest nephew MrD is the cicada whisperer. Several times cicadas have just landed on him. We've decided it's because he is the tallest thing around when they hatch.

New Year Toddler time

Yeah!! First Toddler time of the year. I tried out two new shaker songs that were very well received. Introduced some great pre literacy info for the parents. Our toddler times run for about 20 mins filled with songs and rhymes and a simple story. Today's stories was one of my favorites, based on Is your Grandmother a goanna? By Pamela Allen. I tell the story using a referees whistle for the station master, a wooden train whistle for the train and give out shakers to the kids to help with the train noises. It's always a success and today was no exception.

Ahhhhhh! Niece and nephews

Just spent the last hour and a half listening to my 12 yro niece MissT whine about ringing to book in for school hol activities. Her grandmother rang and booked her into 3 sessions and then we decided it was her turn and she chucked a tantrum worthy of a 2 yro.
