Some invites, a Hi-Tea and a big school girl.

Well excitement was BIG in our house this morning!!! Tahlia had been waiting for this day for so long and it finally arrived....Big school orientation.

This exact time last year I was holding Kyra's hand as we did our first walk up the street toward big school but today Tahlia didn't want to hold my hand, she held the hands of her sister and her best friend...how lucky can you get.

She had a great morning and wasn't scared in the slightest, she embraced every bit of it. She showed confidence and a calmness as She sat on the classroom floor and listened to the teacher say good morning, she was in her element. I could tell without her saying that she was just so excited to be entering Kyra's world.

Here is a picture of Tahlia and Halle, (T's bestie) with their colouring in.

Now to back track a little. Last year a friend up the road had a special morning tea for all the girls going to big school who lived in our street and Kyra just loved it. It was a great chance to meet other mums and for Kyra to start playing with girls that she would go to school with. So with Tahlia having her orientation this year I decided to do just that. A few weeks ago Tahlia sent out these little invitations that I whipped up (it's my scrapping effort for the moment). 8 little girls plus Tahlia enjoying cupcakes and pink milk...so cute.

Here they all are at the hi-tea table A special BIG thanks to my mum who stayed here at my house and minded finn for me and set up everything sdo that when we walked in the door it was ready. She also made soooo many gorgeous treats for the kids and spent so much time helping me. My mum and dad are always helping me out with the little adventure i go on....THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It was so much fun and all the girls got on so well and played and played whilst all the mum ate the most yummiest treats, it was great.

I love this world that I'm entering...having two children at school. It's emotional though. It means my babies are big and so not babies anymore.

So seeing as these invites are literally my only scrapping effort in forever I'm pleased to announce that if I don't have at least one page to show you tomorrow then there is something wrong! I'm scrapping with my guru buddies tomorrow and sooooooooo looking forward to it and of course all the yummy treats that will be consumed. Did you know that calories cannot be absorbed whilst in scrapping mode? It is such a known fact....well thats what I'm telling myself anyway.
