{PHFR} - 30 August 2012

I don't feel I can write today without first making mention that my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the five Australian soldiers killed today, in our nation's worst day of combat since the Vietnam war.  I think lives cut short in these sort of events remind us all of the preciousness of every day.  Exactly what {PHFR} is about.

{Pretty}

The ladies of our parish sewing group make a quilt for each of the new babies.  Given the rate at which they are arriving at present they have their work cut out for them.

This is Tom Kitten's quilt.  

They even hand-embroidered the words of the Lord's prayer on the binding.

Of course it is even more pretty with Tom Kitten lying on it.

{Happy}

A little boy discovers his toes for the first time.

{Funny}

I went to our local op-shop to order some new chiropractic mattresses - essentials as we have my in-laws coming in a week and they have great prices by having an arrangement with an Australian maker.

We are not meant to be buying any non-essentials.  But some picture books can't be left behind.

The theme at kindergym this month has been Shapes.  I love this rhyme we learnt:

Round is a pancake,

Round is a plum,

Round is a doughnut,

Round is a drum.

Round is a puppy,

Curled up on a rug.

Round are the spots,

On a wee ladybug.

Look all around
On the ground, in the air,
You will find round things everywhere!

 

I have been working with Ginger to consolidate her learning - I made a little activity to work with her on.  She didn't want to play by my rules for the game but set up her own activity - at least we can say she is good at classification; even if she couldn't actually tell you what each shape is called.

Couldn't let this {Real} opportunity go without including this snippet from the Woolworths magazine - did you see that that price is per serve for a 'weeknight meal'. That is a $28 soup!
