Loving on the box....

Greys Anatomy, Survivor, Outrageous Fortune and not much else!

For you...For me?

Saskia's birthday flowers and balloons, some cash for me brother. Some Lego for Kieran, a Horse T Shirt for Miras. Miras was also the lucky recipient of a horse riding voucher from the lovely Ngaire who Merenia entertained whilst she was at the Thermal Thaw with Les. Lots of books- the rest of the Lemony books, Artemis Fowl and also some others for the kids. (Hooray for trade-me. The kids got some bits and pieces from Sylvia. Will got new PJ's.

Germs and bugs and botherations....

Will still had his cold and was kind enough to give me a cold/flu thing which was a really comprehensive long lasting one! Tooth ache.

Today was good today was fun, tomorrow is another one...

Merenia had her first Rippa Rugby Tournament, Kieran had his second and they both had Stage Challenge. Kieran Competed in the BP Challenge. We watched AB's Vs. France with Granny and Pop. Thermal Thaw for Les at the Hibiscus Coast Club. Les and I went in to town to see the kids at Stage Challenge and took them out for Starbucks. Granny and Kieley took the kids and Alyssa to the Mystics game. We had morning tea with Glenys, Natalia and Caitlin.

Yum, yum, yum....

Pork Buns from the Takapuna markets. Hot Chips that just tasted so much better at the beach at Browns Bay. Finally made some bread, and rhubarb and apple crumble- yum. And had super tasty piklets with home made raspberry jam and cream at Natalia's- super YUM!!

'It was on sale'....

Books. A new game called 'Size matters'. Chairs for the kitchen table.

Bugger!

The car had ignition issues- but luckily wasn't too hard (or expensive) to fix. We had Mouse issues. I ran over the netball bag with the car. :-)

Hooray!

Kieran scored three trys at Rippa. Will finally established walking as the no 1 method of mobiliity. And he said 'Pop' and 'SeeYouLater' . Merenia got her first two netball goals in a game.

Etc...

Les got 2 new models. Jake, Tony and Alyssa all had sleepovers. We had Dogs for half a day. Kieran finally got to play on his PS2 and he was on Television. Les painted a giant helicopter on the hangar door. An extra game of Rugby for Rep Trials. Weet-Bix Power Plays (the Rugby card game for this year) started.
