One day Ethan will let me take a nice photo of him. In the mean time this is the best I can get…

I don’t think Xavier could have been more ready to to start Preschool.  The Christmas holidays were a count down to School.  A few days before he started he suddenly got a bit unsure but once he walked in the room and realised he knew the teachers and they knew him.  He is enjoying it everyday and isn’t naughty, because as he puts it, “the naughty chair is boring so I just be good”. I wish that worked at home.

A couple of photo’s of William on his first day at school.

This is a video of Ethan, after we put him to bed he has a habit of sneaking out and hiding under the dining table, which he did tonight. We soon knew that he was there and asleep….LOL

The night before Keeh went back to Melbourne, we went to the mud races.  Everyone had fun once they got used to the noise, and smells.  I’m happy the boys didn’t venture to the fence, some kids got covered in mud, head to toe.  It didn’t help that a bunch of kids found a mud puddle to roll in.  I saw a little girl all dressed up in a pretty pink dress and white sandals, the next time I saw her, the front half of her was think with mud, the time after she was covered all over, long hair included.  I’ll be taking towels next time, just in case the kids get adventurous.

When it wasn’t raining after dinner, we like to try and get down to the park. 

Better late than never…

We decided to Stay in Darwin for Christmas.  It was nice, quiet, and we didn’t have a hangover due to my families tradition of Christmas eve drinks. Not to say we didn’t have the Christmas eve drinks, have to carry on the tradition.  The boys had great fun opening their presents, although Xavier decided to take over the unwrapping duties from everyone before we even got out of bed.  Ethan just got confused and I quickly re wrapped William’s present before he woke.  The wii was a winner, but I don’t recommend doing your first body test on the wii fit after Christmas lunch. It was a lovely day.

I know I have been slack.

This year there was a breakup party and concert for the preschool kids.

Will loved singing, the lines he knew, load and proud.  His foot even got in on the act with a bit of a tap every now and then.  The highlight for all the kids would have been the reindeer antlers that made a tune and flashed.  Fortunately they didn’t survive very long once they got home.

As you can see by the photos Ethan hated being the centre of attention.  We all had a great day that was topped off with cake with the neighbours. 

Where has the last two years gone????
