Little Ballerina

Little Miss's Ballet concert has been a much anticipated event.

We had the excitement of her costume, what would she be? What colour would she wear?

"I want to be a rainbow fairy Mummy." she told me.

Little Miss was to be a red poppy.

A schedule of rehearsals were squashed into our busy routine. B had to endure the waiting and crowded viewing room with many other mums and disgruntled siblings.

Travel arrangements were made by Nana interstate so that she could come along and see Little Miss dance.

I queued too early one Sunday morning to purchase tickets when they went on sale to get good seats.

At last the big day arrived.

The family all gathered together to watch our little star.

And shine she did.

Happy haircut

To say I have been anxious at B's haircuts in the past is probably an understatement. I really don't like B having a short back and sides, its not him and it changes his appearance so much. But to get a haircut that isn't short back and sides on a boy is not easy, let me tell you. So when I picked up B from school and said we were going to the hairdressers he was not happy.
"I like my long hair Mum" he informed me.
"So do I," I said, "Thats why I'm taking you to my hairdresser." I thought it would be worth a try.

On all the occasions I had been to my hairdressers I had been blissfully unaware of a special area equipped for the little people. So I was amazed and very pleasantly surprised with the set up. The kids area is just off to the side of the main salon, so any noisy children wont disturb the vibe, and it contains kids seats with mirrors plus lots of toys, entertainment and even a lolly machine.

B was more than happy to sit and watch a DVD he chose, while Mel styled his hair. I was really impressed as B didn't fidget and B didn't complain.

Little Miss had plenty to occupy herself with too.

And what a great haircut he got.

Thanks Mel.

That time of year......again....already!

There is no denying it, it is that time of year again....I wouldn't have believed it, except that there's this big event that thousands of people line the streets to see.

So we all got caught up in the commotion and watched the Christmas parade.

Or hid under the brochure seeking shade



There was dancing in the street,





























and magical beasts.





























Crawly things,





























and things with wings.





























Surfing pandas,





























and drummer bands,

We saw a great big sock.

and this nasty lot.

Father Christmas is officially in town....and its not even December!































The Adelaide Credit Union Christmas Pageant takes place at 9.30am on the 2nd Saturday of November every year through the streets of the city centre.
