Kindy photo - whole gang

I don't normally like the staged photos taken at kindy/school. However, there is a funny story behind this one, which incidentally I LOVE!!

I was dropping Tenzin off at kindy but as Arthur was off school with a broken arm (hidden in the picture behind Tenzin) and Barney was off school with his 'acute torticolis' (ie his neck was trapped in the position shown for 5 days straight) we decided to throw all the kids into the picture. Barney had played footy (rugby league) on the Sat AM and despite being covered in mud I had agreed for him to wait until the Sunday morning for his shower. That shower never happened as he put his neck out on the Sunday morning while running across the garden. I had never seen a kid in so much pain. We had to prop him on pillows with ice and Nurofen and for 4 days he had to sleep on the sofa as he couldn't get up into his bunk bed! Anyway, this photo was taken on the Tuesday (so now 3 days after the footy game) and Barney still hadn't showered as he was in so much pain - check out the muddy knees in the front of the photo!!!
