Americana comes to town ..

I offered to do Parent Help taking Michael and Cam's class to see the cars ...

 

Abbie loooooved most of them and "I wanna buy dat one Mum" (about 15 of them) ... and was very happy to pose in front of the cars

My favourite 

 

Walking up and down roads is hungry work!

Then we went back to school to drop the other children in the group back

.. and were in time to see many of the convoy of cars that were heading on to the next town .. go past the school .. so the kids got to see a lot of them again .. and waved .. and got tooted at .. and got excited all over again!

 

Yes I wasTwilight obsessed in February ... lol

Ummmm .. what happened in Feb .. well .. ummmm ...

It kinda whizzed by ...

Ummm ..

Mmmmm ..

Life has now resumed normalcy .. and of coursethe chaos begins ..

I'm getting organised for Hubby to go away on a fishing trip, lots of Parent Help at school, Abbie's 3rd birthday (Sunday) .. and the Grand Opening of the local Hall (which hubby has put hours and hours in to .. by either organising , working or fretting over) ..

Oh yeh .. and shifting these last kilos before I go Bananas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
