Sport Relief Mile 2012

The Sport Relief Mile Run is one of the biggest charity fundraising events in the UK. Funds are raised by running / walking / hopping / jumping a mile. Today JIS and the British High Commission hosted the event and kids and parents completed the mile with a donation and all proceeds going to Pusat Ehsan. 

The event stated with a warm-up - spot Jack in the middle.

The mile itself was a route twice around the school and the kids loved it. I never even saw Iman during the run and struggled to keep up with Donncha and Jack who actually wanted to go round 3x. Thanks Boel for the photograph of our estatic boy.

Best thing about going for a run at lunch time is lunch itself and we were not short of offerings. Unfortunately Iman was too quick to go for ice-cream and tripped over resulting in a gash on the knee and landing us in JPMC for a glue dressing but that's another story and another post!

Our Patch

Despite my attempts to make sure that Old Patch is well fed and watered she still likes drinking from puddles. Think she's now found her favorite!

After a long day...

...there's nothing better than a final dip in the pool though they've hardly been dry for more than 5 minutes all day. It was a busy day for birthdays yesterday, Hanna celebrated her birthday and Zahra had her birthday party so we hardly saw these three all day.

Ayden and Joey the Kangaroo

When Iman was in Reception it was Barnaby Bear (check out the link of the first post). I think it was for Jack as well and I recall taking photos of Jack riding his bicycle with Barnaby in the basket. Obviously Barnaby's been retired and Joey's been roped it. I struggled what to do with Joel aside from the supermarket/bath/dinner/bedtime routine (trust me we've been there and done that) and eventually took photographs of Ayden's current favourite indoor pastime.
