no gym trail this week

We dont have gym trail this week as the hall that they use is being used for SATS, the teacher told me that they are laying on breakfast for the kids (which is pretty cool) :).

I told Evie about the room being used for exams and she asked me if it meant that she would have to have a packed lunch this week.

I told her that it was just in the morning and the hall would be ok again for lunch :)

Evie is definitely super smart :)

chicken pox birthday party

Im not sure how many of the 6 children in reception with chicken pox were invited to the party but only a couple of them turned up...

L was very self conscious and didnt think that she was allowed to play with anyone, so I told her that she was doing a "service" and helping the kids so their holidays wouldnt get ruined :)  I even gave her a "high five" for good measure :)

M went as well and they all seemed to have fun.

The party had a magician and he was quite good :)

Im not sure if Evie interacted with the 2 girls or not so I will have to see if she manages to get it or not.

Interview #6 pox party and packed lunch

Yay I have another interview next Friday, it is with a different insurance place from last time, they said that if I am happy to work 9-5 then they will see me :)  As my part time job hunting isnt going too well then I may have to go full time anyway :).

M in Evies class has chicken pox, as well as A, A and L from the other reception class, S in Evies class has her birthday party on Saturday, her Mum said that she was happy for M to come to the party so M's Mum asked us other Mums if we were ok with her going.  I said that we were happy and that M shouldnt miss out :)

So the chicken pox party will even have balloons :)

I picked Evie up from school yesterday and asked her what she at of her lunch, she said that she had ate some of it so that was good.

I was really pleased when I opened her box when we got home that she had actually eaten the roll that I had put in there...

...she also ate her jelly and her strawberry fruit string, I am not sure how much cucumber she ate or grapes, she finished her carrot sticks in the playground and had eaten most of the bacon and only had 1 of the cocktail sausages although it looked like she tried 2 of them (just in case the second 1 was nicer :)

uniform decision

I was sitting in bed this morning with Evie, and she told me that she wanted to wear her winter school uniform (grey dress, blue polo shirt and grey tights).

So I asked her why and she said that it was because her legs were cold.

She is upstairs hopefully getting dressed and not just playing about :)

I am very proud of her making an informed decision like that :)

Election lunch box

Because of tomorrows local elections, the lunchhall.is being used as a poling station.

Evie had a choice of a packed lunch that the school provides (as all infant school children get free school.meals) or a packed lunch that we provide.

Evie wanted a packed lunch that we make for her :)

So we are popping to the supermarket tonight to get bits for evies lunch :)

The lunchbag is ready and I have already put in there a strawberry jelly and a strawberry fruit string.

I will do the rest of it tonight and put it in the fridge, and must remember to take her lunch with us tomorrow :)

from beaver to alligator

When I went to pick up Evie from School yesterday I scanned the boxes outside with the swimming bags in and found Evies...

...but she wasnt in the beavers class anymore but had been moved down to the alligators class.

Hee hee I let James fill in the form (as he was the one who did the swimming classes with her) that asked how good her swimming skills were...

...he must have bigged her up a little too much :)

Evie was quite happy being an alligator now so that is the main thing :)

And at least she is now in the right class for her abilities too :)

flower Evie

Yesterday Evie went to a party...

...they had a face painter, so I asked Evie if she would like to have her face painted and she said yes so I put her name on the list (LOL they were very organised :)).

I asked her what she would like to have on her face and she said flowers :)

A while later I saw "I" (it was a joint birthday party for 2 girls the other one being "A") walking Evie over to the face painter.

So I went over to make sure that Evie was ok, and she was sitting on the chair with her glasses on her lap.

She didnt want me to stay so I went back to watch the party...

here is flower Evie

I told the face painter after that it was the first time that she had let someone paint her face and she said that she could tell, so she did her quite quickly, so that was nice :)

Next time we see face painters at a party I know that Evie will let them do it :)

She wasnt too pleased when I had to wipe it off though :)
