Bike and scooter riding

Max is busy learning to ride his scooter and Hannah her bike (without side wheels). Most sunday mornings are spent with SImon running up and down the road after Hannah on her bike trying to minimize injuries. Max and I potter along whilst he rides his scooter. He is doing very well and is quite fearless. Hannah just wants to go faster and faster but poor daddy just can't keep up with her. Today they went the furthest so far. She is doing so well.

Cake Decorating

Today was cake decorating competition day at Max's school. Everyone arrived with their ready baked cakes and tubs of icing. There was a whole load of activity for about half an hour after which evidence of lots of 'testing' was apparent on the kids faces, fingers jerseys etc. They really enjoyed themselves. Here was our effort - Max did the yellow ones and Hannah the pink ones

Here are some of the other efforts.....

And the winner was this fantastic castle....

We came third and won a jumping castle for the day - just in time for Max's factory party on Saturday. We had so much fun. There was an auction to raise funds for the school and a jumping castle and jungle gym and swings which the kids really enjoyed. They especially enjoyed playing with their friends. Thanks Bridget for a lovely fun afternoon.
