Morgans new hat band

How cool is this hat band?

I spied it at the show and bought it for Morgan as his bush hat had no hatband.  the leather worker is an old dude who works from his tent and goes round the shows.

I've just sewn it on ( you know the stuff you do when you have nothing to do.. I still have a pile of mending glaring at me from the corner.. I think i'll throw a box over it to save the guilt.

Anyway-  its kangaroo leather and is so unique... am thinking I might have to buy one for me too!

Birthday Planning

Don't let it said that my two aren't planners... Morgan has already insisted that this is the design he wants for his birthday cake.. in April.

Kinda cute huh?

Stanthorpe Show

It was too hard to choose just one photo to typify the day - so I have gone with a few... and yes - its a little late - but with no internet access up there - kinda makes things a bit more interesting to keep in contact...

The first one is my hat and stewards badge. I spent the morning assisting the judges in some of the sheep categories.

Whats a show with out the clowns?

or in that vein - facepaint?

or fireworks..

Teacher in a Box

Got a call at 7.55 am this morning.. and I am not embarrassed to say - I was sound asleep.. class started at 8.30 and its a 15 min drive.. so it was skates on all round.

I still had my teacher in a box stuff from last year  - and am kicking myself that I wasn't more organised ( as I had planned..)

Had an awesome day - which is saying something as its one of the schools I swore I'd not go back to and it was with the class that .. well - most needed something stronger than the discipline the state school could hand out.

Just goes to show huh?

This is a photo of my box and prize box of goodies at lunchtime outside the classroom.

The Exploding Teaching Cupboard

humm might have to do a story about this for kids....

and there I go again - procrastinating.

This is my shame - my teaching resources cupboard which I swore I was going to sort out, get into files and have all beautifully catalogued by the new year.... and its here ... about to explode out the door.

Its on my list.. really...
