It's Springk!

Last night at dinner, Jo announced very matter-of-factly that his teacher, Miss Charmaine says that it's 'Springk'! What a cutie pie.  These kids make me smile alot, with the funny things they say. 

Thanks to our personal hair stylist Nikki Lewis Higgs 5 out of 6 Von Brughan's got their hair cut yesterday.  They loved it, and all 3 boys are looking extra cute and ready for Summertime.

Phoebe was in tears in her bed last night, worrying about her school outing today.  She's gone to Shongweni Dam to the Spirit of Adventure camp to have some fun in our Spring heat(very hot & very dry again today - my nose is burning inside). She was worried about the bus trip - no safety belts, airconditioning, and she HATES being so high off the ground in that big old bus...my kids are used to some comforts it would seem.  So we chatted about it, reasoned everything out, and I'm hoping all the little extra treats I packed for her have made the trip even more fun.

A couple of weeks ago, she mentioned she was having some 'trouble' with a girl that sits at her table.  So we decided to invite her over for a playdate, so she could get to know Phoebe & then perhaps the 'trouble' would end.  It would seem that this same little girl offered to sit in the window seat of the bus to help Miss Phoebe with her fear of heights in a moving vehicle. 

Works every time.

Brod has been cycling up a storm lately - he bought an awesome mountain bike a few weeks back and has been all over the neighbourhood on it - and further a field too.  Every now and then one of the kids will get plomped on the cross bar and is taken off in a flurry of screams for a quick trip around the garden. 

Off to clean house...
