His teacher had 'hinted' that Kelsey was getting a Merit Award at the End of Term Assembly but never in a million years did I think he would be getting 1st place as well !!!!! His Certificate of Merit ' was awarded for 'Consistent Hard Work & Positive Attitude AND he also got FIRST PLACE for this term in his class !!!!
Sorry the photo of him receiving his award is a bit blurred I couldn't stop shaking ... and of course the eyes full of tears didn't help me to focus properly (LOL)
L-R: Ms Chapman (Principal), Kelsey, Mrs Smith (Deputy Principal & HOD GR7 )
Takes any chance offered to chat up the birds !!!!
Waiting patiently for his turn:
Oh! have to mention this .... Ibis (whoop! whoop!) is top of the 'House Board' for this term ... go IBIS !!! (yup that's our team and the mum's have a bigger 'rivalry' going on than the kids) 
Well done Kelsey... dad & I are the most proudestest of parents ever ... especially after the tough slog we've gone through to get you where you are now ... so the hard work begins ... to keep you at the top !!! "Love you my boy xxx mwah !"
Ok now all that excitement is over, well we've had 24hours of excitement ... Paul is here ... yup he arrived safely ... what a fright he got landing at Durban International Airport ... every ones luggage got searched by customs (well there's only 1 international flight a day at the mo. gotta give the guys something to do ... in prep for the hoards of tourist coming soon !!!!)ooops!!! T.G. the contraband was well concealed ... the 'Creme Eggs', the Pontefract Cakes, the Thornton's Licorice Toffee and the Pear Drops ... hey who cares about the half a dozen cell phones he was carrying !!! (OOOOPs did I print that out loud !!! ;-)
Of course Kelsey was sooo excited to see his dad ... all he wanted to do was get him home and open the 'said' suitcase ... (oh! look at the 6 PS3 games dad brought Kelsey !!!) and the half a dozen latest DvD'S tooo ... well 4 of the games are being kept as 'bribe' material for next term ... OK... ok maybe he deserves another game "did I mention he got 1st place" but he's not getting them all immediately...
Wanna know what I was sooooo excited about .... Not the big red box that has my name on it that I am only allowed to open next week ... No not the pile of Glass Beads that I had ordered and Paul brought over ... No not the pile of acrylic stamps that Sharon organised for me and Paul packed in his case .... YES! YES! YES! to ( ;-0 ) The BIG Padded Brown Envelope Stuffed with 2010 Catalogues OOOOOOOOOO NOW I need some serious ME time !!!!!! PMSL !!! In fact how sad am I ??? I am not allowing myself to open it until I have packed for our week away and done all my 'chores' like a goody 2 shoes !!!! ;-) I keep stroking it as I go past !!!
Nan ... sorry gonna go to bed early every night next week (yeah right)... have some serious reading to do ...
Friends ... won't be on line again now till after our 'Easter Safari' ... setting off at the un'god'liest of hours tomorrow am to get up there before dark tomorrow night .... wishing each and everyone of you all the Peace, Love and Chocolate for this Easter ... promise to update you all when we get back ... around about Monday 5th April ....
