I got pet rocks!...picture frames, a credit for a boat wash from Tilda, a lovely 'Sculpey' cup type thing from Phoebe, some socks (cos Daddy loves socks) and a cup of sweets.
Now personally, when someone buys a cellophane wrapped cup of sweets, especially when that someone is an 8 year old kid from a school stall that's selling Father's day stuff to them...I'd be expecting that it was a whole cup of sweets. Na, it was just enough sweets to cover up the newspaper that they'd put into the cup first!
What are we teaching our kids here? 'It's best to only dress it up as good, not to actually make it good' ? or perhaps; 'Rip off or be ripped off'? I've been considering writing to the Head. Matilda thought that would be a bad idea cos it was one of her friends Mum that made them.
We went to a 'Soiree' the other day that the school were laying on, and it went on from 7pm to after 9! I was ready to sleep by the end! Anyway, I couldn't really get any decent pictures, but here's Matilda, looking like someone who's not really involved, at the finale. She played the Violin in a couple of little recitals too. Bless her, she was SO shy!
Phoebe on the other hand was NOT shy at all. She was lashing it up a bit, but we gave her a big cuddle after for doing it. For Feeb, it's all about the feeling of dressing up. She's getting more and more like a teenager... she's adopted an affected way of saying no. She says 'Nar' in a clipped way... like Australians say 'Yeah/Na'.
Had to take a picture of this, at a baby equipment hire shop near the studios...
