Pumpkin Carving

Patrick carved his first Pumkin while staying with Siew Gin and Alan last year so this year he was keen to have another go.

 

We had great difficulty in taking photos this one was in the hall

 

 

Taken on the door step with a light inside

 

Patrick thought the children at school would like the pumpkin so he took it in for class 2 and received a lovely thank you letter.

We are looking forward to meeting them soon watched them on google last sunday they were delightful and very playful.

Daniels First Day at School

Daniel started school today, I understand he enjoyed it and as it was only a half day to start with I understand he went out for lunch with Mum and Dad before his new teacher came round to visit in the afternoon.

Daniel first Day at School

Cannot believe he has started school and he looks so smart in his uniform and really grown up.

Jake and Daniel 

Daniel looks so pleased to be going to school and was surprised to see how tall Jake is getting.

Jake and Daniel

On day two of their visit we went to the pool and had a great time but no photo's, everyone enjoyed them selves and it was fun time so there were lots of floats and balls to play with as well as time to swim.

Day three time to go home but not before we went once again to the rec to play golf, enjoy a game with the football and in the play area.
