Saturday 26th February
The last weekend of Summer. A slow start to the weekend, we did lots of newspaper reading and coffee drinking and general lazing around.
Bill wanted to go out and buy some new runners but I was happy just to potter around the house.
I've been dying to get a new camera (a Canon Ixus 105) and as a little present Bill bought one home for me - I was very excited as the clarity of the pictures is just 10X better than what I've currently got with the Nikon.
Here's the very first photo I took with the new camera. Umm, I better clarify - it's my husband.

Rhianna stayed in her Pj's most of the day. She's been getting right into the computer lately - mostly researching. Her skills are developing rapidly.
We started work on our shark diorama. We painted water and sand and added some shells we had picked up at Cronulla beach Then we popped the sharks in. Still to go:: the seaweed and other little extras.
This afternoon we had our first Netball Muster day.
This is the first year Rhianna has played Netball. The Muster day is just a chance to meet the coach and decide on training days etc.
We knew lots of other people there - here are some of Rhianna's team mates - she knows them all from her school.
The other thing worth mentioning here is that I will be the Team Manager.
(Well nobody else was putting their hand up).
I'm not sure what that entails yet - but I'm sure they will let me know. I'm hoping it involves sitting on the sidelines with a nanna rug and a hot cup of coffee yelling encouragement.

Love the diorama. I stole your idea this weekend about labelling things and getting the kids to buy them with real money. The kids loved it, and it's educational, what better. You need to post more about cheap, home education ideas, I bet there are lots of people out there willing to do these activities, but not sure exactly what to do,(like me) and you have a real knack for it (must be the teacher coming out in you) At the very least could you please post some more ideas for me :) I love them.
Yay for you being the manager of the netball team!!! I cant wait for the season to start and to watch the girls learnig how to play. Should be a lot of fun. Thanks for putting your hand up!
Thanks Busy Mum of 3. I found a fabulous idea the other day which I will be posting when it is finished.
Thanks Emma. Glad the girls are playing together this year - great fun.
