Bugs in the Shrubs!

Johnathan's had his annual school production this week, this year it was "Bugs in the Shrubs". He had a speaking role this time (rather than just showing of his dancing skills like he did last year). He had to say, "I am now a beautiful butterfly", he did it very well. It was a great show with kids, teachers, and parents all enjoying it.

Susannah provided the warm up act again this year. She also raised a chuckle from the crowd when she yelled out Johnathan's name when she saw him on the stage during the show.

Now butterflies on the stage!


Johnathan after the show, very pleased with his performance.


The DVD is being release soon...

Susannah starts ballet and swimming lessons

Susannah has recently started ballet lessons and is also joining the swimming club Johanathan goes to.

Here she is trying on her new ballet outfit and testing out some moves.

And here she tries on her new swimming cap and goggles in preparation for her first swimming lesson.

Kids enjoy some shirt painting.

Johnathan and Susannah used their t-shirt painting set to come up with their own creations.

Here is Johnathan's effort. He wanted to have "I am a rock star" on the back, this is a favourite expression of his friend Aden, who yells it out whenever he scores in a game!

And this is Susie's effort. On the back, she started with her name then went on to use almost the rest of the alphabet!
