Round- up ~ February 2010

On our bookshelf this month....

Nurture Shock (Very interesting parenting book)- No time for anything else except kids books.

Loving on the box....

Dr Who, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Survivor- I watched the first episode of heros's vs. villians online way cool!! Get growing with New Zealand Gardener, Modern Family (funny!!), House and Private Practice.

For you...For me?

Charms for the Nielson Girls. A couple of books for Master Ehren. Shannon and Lisa scored me some seriously cool tiny stuff for a special project I am planning. Les got me roses just because.

Germs and bugs and botherations....

Will had a coldy-snotty- high temperature thing. I had some random symptoms and stuff that made me think I was getting sick but they amounted to nothing- weird! Merenia went to the Kinesiologist . Kieran, Merenia and Les also all got the cold at the end of the month- it was snot-o-rama, just in time for Les to go away to Matamata unfortunately

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

Kieran won tickets to the Breakers (basketball) so Les took him and Merenia to the game on the 4th. The Breakers won by 28 points! Les and the kids went to catch up with Ehren and company.

Les took the big kids to the Blues Vs. Hurricanes. Kieran had a sleep over at Jakes, Alyssa and Ashlyn had sleepovers at ours. Les went flying at Ambury for the day. Miss Wendy and Miss Vienna came to visit. Merenia had her first Ukulele and Choir lessons. Will and I enjoyed the beach at Brown's Bay. I got to spend Valentines Day scrapbooking. Les went to Matamata for the Soarfest. Kieran went to Tony's after school and he and Les got to meet the new baby, Hamish, while there. Jake came over for an after school play. We had Petra and Alyssa over after school and then went to netball sign-ups this year the girls are playing for a club. I got to do an online scrapbooking class which was kind of cool even though I didn't get to do it at my scrap-table as planned because Les took my laptop away with him.

Yum, yum, yum....

Les made Miss Wendy's Corn bread (not quite as well as Miss Wendy though). We made Rubarb and Apple Crumble- Yum. Kieran started doing cooking at Tech and taught us all how to make Bread case savouries, chocolate pudding and french toast (well we kind of knew that one). Miss Wendy brought yummy biscuits. Les made Plum Cake, and Passionfruit Flummery Pie and I made some SUPER yummy Brandy Ice Cream. And Les made his best ever batch of Gucamole.

'It was on sale'....

Books, but other than that have been really good this month- we have to be to pay for K's trip to Japan in August.

Bugger!

Will really isn't coping with a new baby in the house, he is seriously upset at having to share his mummy especially when he was sick and he refuses point blank to let Merenia talk to Jake.

Having to have to provide 'further information' to the MOE twice in an effort to get our exemption.

Hooray!

Kieran became a House Captain.

Tony came to lay the vinyl next door.

Etc...

We started looking after baby Jake.

The kids had swimming lessons on Base.

Will got a lunch box so he's all set for when I'm busy with baby Jake- super cute to watch him use it!

We spent some time doing some stuff for fundrainsing for Kieran's trip to Kasuga in August.

You know who's good idea this was? Katie The Scrapbook Lady. Go check out her list of tasks to do at the end of each month as well.
