Save your breadtags

When I first read about this I thought it was such a good idea.
I did some more reading up and found the following sites and info
The polystyrene packagaing council of South Africa
The Rachel Swart Fund
I’m going to put our tags in a bottle to collect – but at 3 breads a week it will be like a drop in the ocean. I’m also going to ask the kids school to get involved.
I think it’s a great idea.

Such wise words

Carmen was looking over my shoulder while I looked at the pics Jeanette posted of the wedding. She pipes up- Mom once you were normal and had a wedding with flowers.
Me (a little bit shocked)- So why am I not normal now?
C- Because you are a mommy
So wise for a four year old . LOL

School Stories

So the first week and a half of school is done and already we have some tales to tell.

Andrew reckons that school is too much work and that he should just stay at home and me and daddie can teach him to read and write in the evenings. Homeschooling from 5-8 in the evenings. I dont think so.
His teacher says he’s probably miff because they couldn’t play outside this week because of all the rain. They still get loads of time to play. In fact everything they do is coupled with playing. i.e go jump on the trampoline for 10 counts etc.
I think what’s probably unsettling him is that they are expected to do things now in a certain timeperiod. Me thinks he’s finding this a bit hard.
He’s had two show and tells so far. The first picture he chose was an aeroplane- and why did he like it – because it has guns. *Shakes head*
I was afraid that for this week he would choose bomber plane or something- but he chose a boat- and couldn’t tell me why he likes it. We’ll have to see what he comes up with. LOL

Carmen started off well but is already avoiding class by going to the toilet about 10000 times a day. I see the EdPsyc looming ahead for us.
She tried the ballet class, liked it- only to this week join her brothers karate class. I will probably end up with the first punching ballerina in history. LOL

Andrew already had a bully incident at school- but it’s the same little boy that was doing it in nursery school- so all the teachers and kids are quite used to his tricks- and the teachers know to keep a tight leash on this child. Thank goodness because Pierre wanted to teach Andrew a few backyard punches. To ’sort’ it out you know. *Roll eyes dramatically here*

I can see that Andrew and Carmen will once again keep me very busy this year. So here’s to exciting times ahead. *Giggles nervously*
