HAYDEE STARTS KINDY

Thursday the 5th of Feb 2009 was Haydee's first day as a fully fledged Kindergarten student at Darlington Kindergarten. She has been looking forward to this day all week. We spent the week shopping for her books and stationery that she would need for the year. She especially enjoyed shopping for her school lunches and we have been spending the last month teaching her how to write and recognise numbers and letters. She spent the whole day at Kindy by herself...I was alil worried because she has always been at home with me and was never interested in daycare. So this was anew experience for her and myself. I really missed my mate while she was away and it felt weird not having her around. So you could probably guess that I was there very early to pick her up at the end of the day. She had soooo much fun and her favourite part of the day was painting. She loves being creative and loves painting. She made a whole lot of friends and was eager to tell us about her day.

Molly Visits again!!!

Ok so I went fruit and vege shopping and couldn't resist how cheap the peaches, nectarines and plums were. So I got a lil carried away in the buying process that when I got home I realised that Hayden and I had a lot of fruit to chow down. Then the Molly in me took over and KACHOW!!!...LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.

My box of Blood Plums went from this..... to that!

Plum flavoured Roll Ups, Bottled Whole Plums and Plum flavoured topping for ice creams and desserts. You'll see the topping below.

As for the Peaches and Nectarines

Well they were magically bottled.

So in the end, my pantry ended up looking like this...

Very proud of my efforts!!!
