One day I want to be....

Mr C: An astronaut - a change from the usual doctor or chef but really no surprise from a Space obsessed boy and one that had Space for a theme at school last week.
Miss A: A veterinary surgeon (gosh I think we have been on that one for the last 4 years) or a doctor but also someone that "does pretty horse riding in competitions - not jumping - thus dressage)
Mr L: A fireman - still. Really he has a slight obsession with this.
As part of our Project Life album I ask the kids one question every weekend - something to add to the album to keep those memories for us.

So the next 2 days are going to be very busy - this afternoon sees the first mini netball tournament and I am going with A - I may not be able to go to the others this year but my workload at the moment is such that I can go. In the end they chose and A team and a combined B/C team that will swap out - a good decision I think for the little ones and A is happy as best bud K is also in the same team. We did have a long talk to her last night about sportsmanship and the importance of participation. My hubby rocks at these things - really he is just way better than I am.

Tomorrow is our cousins big day - her wedding day. But it is also a big day for our Princess - quite possibly the only time she will be a flower girl - she is hugely excited. I am so happy that the weather is looking way better than last weekend. I am popping into the office to do something that will come in this afternoon late and I have to process tomorrow, but after that I am picking her up at school for hair (with the other flower girl) and dressing etc. with the bride at the venue. Hunter and the Boys will meet us at the wedding venue - I am so excited that the little boys will be there too and Mr C is apparently going to dance with the Maid of honour and the Bride. (well I did hear the Maid of honour asking both the boys for a dance - so it will be totally cute).

Hope you all have a great weekend! (BTW I accidentally went - "mark all as read" in Bloglovin - gosh its so easy to do that. So apologies if I missed something big)

  2. I think its great that you are asking weekly weekend questions to your kids to put into the Project Life. You are creating memories and that is what counts.

  4. Will be so interesting to see what your kids do one day in comparison to what they have been saying over the years.

    Enjoy the wedding!!!

  7. Lovely to ask the kids questions every week, fun way to keep memories.

    Either its a very small world or its just really random, a work colleague also have a wedding of a cousin tomorrow ;-) I love the idea of a Friday wedding, seems more intimate and knowing that people will actually make a plan to be there (take leave from work).

    Enjoy the wedding and the weekend!!

  8. Marcia also mentioned that she asked her kids what they wanted to be with they grow up, I decided to ask Little OL as it is not something I have ever thought of doing before. Her answer was "bigger".

  9. Enjoy the wedding, congratulations to the bride and groom! Can't wait to see some photos, especially of your very special flower girl, I'm sure she's going to steal the show!

    Enjoy the wedding today!

  12. Loved the answers - they are sooo adorable at this age.

    Friday weddings are cheaper for one. I know at Avianto it's about 1/3 cheaper than the Sat and Sun ones!

    However, we've been to two Friday ones and were late for both - it is HELL working a half day, rushing home to get dressed and meet up with the spouse and then race out to the sticks (Muldersdrift!)

So what's on your mind?
