What a little star! I was a bit concerned this week after parents night, when Mae's teacher said she had moved her a couple of times to 'help her focus'. She did quickly say this was not unlike any other child in the class, but everyday I hear (from the perp herself) that she was the 'best behaved' kid in the class. Sucker mum.

BUT! Then she came home yesterday with a Star Award! On Thursday she brought in a dino bone (or maybe sheep....), a lava rock and a fossil. Last two are bona fide. And gave a talk in front of her class and apparently even answered questions:

Q.Is that bone a hundred and fifty one catrillion years old?
A. Maybe. Maybe.

Q.Could a dinosaur eat 400 chickens a day?
A. Prob'ly.

Q.Did that dinosaur have a butt as big as 4 kids?
A.Hah hah hah (I imagine that was the end of show and tell)

Mae had to get her star award in front of the whole school at assembly, and had to get it from Mr Kelly, the Reverend. Is this 1976 Newfoundland? Weird.


In other news, Rumpole is finally making friends. Then the grey one, Charlie shows up.

And we continue to have friends over, which is nice in this house. Unfortunately all the kids who come in say how messy the house is. So I can't say it was down to the lack of storage in the last house.

They still enjoy dressing up and playing in the garden. Mae has made so much use of the tiger outfit, hopefully I can find more when we are home in the summer. The reason for the look on her face is that she has a gigantic wedgie!
