Catch Up


I have been a naughty girl... abandoning my blog without a word. Sorry to anybody who has been checking in vain to see my latest musings... I'm back now and will try to be good.


In the past six weeks: Bella has moved out of her cot into a 'big girl bed' - [and her cot was sold in record time on Trademe], and now she is in the middle of toilet training. Next she'll be getting her driver's licence... hahaha. Here she is at our Monday playgroup - just as much fun for the Mums as for the kids!


Lockie is going well at school - last night I went to a meeting with his teacher to discuss his progress and it was pretty glowing. He is the Best Speller in his class and is doing exceptionally well at Maths too. His teacher says he has a great work ethic and a logical brain.


Recently, on school holidays, I took the kids up to Wanganui for a couple of nights. My Dad was away but we stayed at his house and hung with the cats anyway. Weather was a bit wintery but we got lots done and really enjoyed it. We will go for longer next time. The whole two weeks of holidays were rather wet but I'm glad we got away for even as short time :)


I took Lockie to see The Simpsons Movie last weekend - we laughed our heads off. He is a big fan of the yellow family - especially Homer. It was a fun time, and we bussed and trained home after that - more fun!


Have booked a trip to Sydney to stay with Meg and attend a two-day conference in October. Can't wait.
