I can’t believe how excited I am….. I got my first ‘Mummy’ homework from Ben’s Pre-Prep!!! It was a two page spread about ‘Our Family’ for Ben to share with his classmates and then go in his folio. Ohhhh it was so much fun!!!! {Don’t worry I know how ridiculous I sound – I just can’t help it!!}. I adapted the ‘About Us’ that we use for the blog and added it to the first page and the second page is family photos – Ben’s favorites. I included Ben, Andrew, myself, all the cousins, both sets of grandparents, pets and scarecrow. Sorry Aunty’s and Uncle’s I didn’t have photos of you all….. beware at our next get together!!! The homework also said that all family special events/holidays/memories can be added during the year. So we can add a page about our new cousin when she arrives….YAY and other family from Melbourne or overseas we might see! Oh and yes I just had to add bunting…. as I can’t get enough of it lately and it always makes me smile!
So here it is……. I think it captures our family.
My publishing skills are a little rusty….. I haven’t done anything really since Ben was born. I used Publisher in the Virtual Box…… which is just crazy as I am sure Mac has something fabulous I could have used. I also used ‘Picnik‘ a cute online photo editing program to put the curves on the photos {Shauna from ‘The Reed Life‘ suggested it… THANKS}. But there has to be an easier way to do that as well. I also need to acquire a few more skills…. like being able to select just the bunting and not the background. I am interested in all suggestions for editing programs for the Mac….please.
With my first ‘Mummy’ homework finished. I will share with you another of my Pre-Prep Parent delights……I LOVE RECEIVING SCHOOL NEWLETTERS…….I really do!!!!
I am going to link up with ‘Life Made Lovely Monday’…. ENJOY!!
