Receiving her fans

 After the performance MV was very happy to see her fans. She appreciated the attention and the little gifts. She also enjoyed having some fun with her cast mates and at the final wrap party too.

MV's performance

 MV took part in the school's Alice in Wonderland play and portraid one of the three personalities of the Cheshire Cat character. She did three shows which at least one of us attended, with the last show having almost the entire family attending. She did a good job but with the last performance she was a bit tired. She seemed like she enjoyed the being in the play but it was quite a committment which she isn't sure she wants to do again, but we'll see. We were very proud of her. Can you tell which part of the play was her favourite? If you said the handstand, then you are correct.

EV and MV's sopen school day

 We also went to EV and MV's school to visit their classrooms and see their teachers. They were just as proud to show off the projects and work they did this year. We got to see MV perform one of her songs from the play she has been rehearsing as well. After  quick snack in the grass we explored a little more before the school closed up again.

SV's school open school day

 We got to go to SV's school and see her school. She was excited to show us her locker and all of her classes. A number of her projects were on display including her sword and the zig zag railway model she made. We got to chat to some of her teachers and meet some more of her friends too. Her woodshop projects were also quite interesting particularly as she managed to learn heaps about how to effectively use the tools safely. 

Finished sword

 SV had finished carving her sword and it was time to paint it so it was finished. She did a good job finishing it and painting it. She then wore it to school while she rode her trusted steed. Turned out quite well indeed.

Scorpions and ice pops

 Not exactly two things most people think of together, but in this case they did. EV was working on her school project where she researched the Death Stalker Scorpion. She made a model of it and a habitat in a shoe box. She wanted to make more stuff so she also made frozen fresh fruit popsicles. The next day she made sure to try them out with great sucess.

Traditional birthday wishes

 We made sure that MV got her traditional birthday congratulations on her actual day. We always have a bit of fun with it and this time was no different. MV appreciated her pressies and us thinking of her.
