Nothing else to really say here... just sharing some more pictures of the Katester that I took a while ago.
These were taken in honour of my brother's birthday back in May. He has a pair of beagles (A big shout out to Lily and Barney!!) and a healthy love of the most famous beagle of all... Snoopy.
Big hugs for everyone!
CHEESE!
And a BIG kiss!
The thoughtful pose....
Boy! Being a model is tiring!
One more smile for the camera....
Uh oh... check her left hand! Could it be? Oh no!
It is! It's the Kateosaurus!!!! Run for your lives!!!
I'm afraid that the photoshoot was unable to continue due to the photographer being eaten by the Kateosaurus.
So, a polar bear walks into a bar and says, "Bartender, give me a whiskey and coke and some......

The barman looks up and says, "Sure thing, but why the big paws?"
(Pause. Paws. Get it?)
So, yep... it's been 6 months since I've found my way back to THE BLOG. Now, before I fill the page with any drivel that drives my mother around the bend (like tennis commentary) I better soothe the unruly masses with the only thing that anyone really comes here for... and that is Kate.
Kate had another assembly during the spring term. Since they were learning about space, it was appropriately space themed. Now, there are two videos (hopefully... I'm still trying to coax the technology into allowing me to post them.... one down, still working on one.) The first video is the class reciting a poem written by John Rice. It is entitled "Constant, Constant Little Light."
Mrs DuPlessis did a brilliant job at staggering the kids at different levels so everyone could be seen. Thus, you can see Kate. The second video which is a song called "Space Jam" everyone is standing and Kate is in the second row, so.... you catch glimpses of the greatness that is she.
I have included the words after each video so that you know what they are saying/singing.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy her.
Constant, Constant Little Light
Constant, constant little light,
Catch me eye in darkest night.
What can speed so fast, so high.
Laser like across the sky?
When the sleepy sun has set,
And the night has cast her net.
It’s then your orbit forms a ring,
Round the earth a song to sing.
Constant, constant little light,
I know you’re a satellite.
Cruising, spinning, seldom seen,
Beaming pictures to our screens.
Weather-watching, tracking storms,
Plotting maps and all life forms.
Scanning, spying from above,
Are you hawk or are you dove?
Silent, stealthy space age Thor,
Armed with weapons for a real star war.
From your tiny, silver glow,
Who can tell what wrongs may flow.
But for now I hold you bright,
Constant, constant little light.
Constant, constant little light,
I know you’re a satellite.

Spaceship Jam
My spaceship’s shiny, it’s really fast.
Zooming down the highway, it’s such a blast.
It could do ninety, well, that’s the plan.
But there’s traffic ahead, so I’m stuck here instead
In a spaceship jam!
And I hear
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
And I hear
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
My spaceship’s curvy, it’s really cool.
It makes people stare when I drive it to school.
I like to go racing, I’m faster than you!
But there’s no space above me, below or behind
There’s a spaceship queue!
And I hear
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
And I hear
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep
My spaceship’s gorgeous, I’m glad that it’s mine.
Soaring off round the planet, looking real fine.
But today I’m not moving, I’ve gone into decline,
‘Cos I’m trapped here, I’m not going anywhere
Stuck in a spaceship line!
And I hear
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
And I hear
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep
