Round-Up ~April

On our bookshelf this month....

Lots of yummy new goodies from Amazon, Trade me and various Op shops! New Pamela Allen for Will who LOVES Mr McGee stories we only have one or two left to find now. And for me; The Happiness Project by Gretchin Rubin, Teach yourself visually: Collage and altered arts by Roni Johnson, Collage Discovery Workshop by Claudine Hellmuth, Layers: Inspired Collage by Shari Carroll, Handmade Home by Amanda Soule and Bent Bound and Stitched by Giuseppina Cirincione. I am reading the 4th Artemis Fowl book. Kieran just got the DK Star Wars Lego book and Merenia is reading the rainbow fairy books as well as her usual plethora of horsey books- I think she finally finished The Series of Unfortunate Events this month as well.

Loving on the box....

Still watching Dr Who. Scored 3 more series of Grey's Anatomy and Flight Of the Conchords season 1 on DVD from Trade me. Also the new season of Survivor, Americas Next Top Model, Project Runway, House, Modern Family, Lie To Me, The Good Wife, Grey's and Private Practice. Les and Merenia watched 'Up!' and some other DVD's in the school holidays. We got Freeview- HOORAY!!

For you...For me?

Easter stuff of course for the kids and Ehren. Les' Mum had her 70th so we put in for that (not really a gift as such). And we learned of the arrival of our new grand nephew back in January (news travels slowly sometimes) so got baby Brock some wee gifts as well. Plus it seems the new tradition at Scrapcamp is to give wee giftees to all- so gave an received there as well. Various pressies for Vienna is seems every time I go op-shopping I find her something. And I got a seriously cool book of photographs from around New Zealand from Miss Wendy (thanks Hun!).

Germs and bugs and botherations....

My Back- holy crap it's awful. Les got some lergy at the end of the month but other than that it's been pretty healthy.

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

Les went to Wanaka and Queenstown for the first time with work for War Birds. I went to Scrapcamp for the first time in forever. Kieran had a few nights at Jakes in the school holidays. Easter- chocolate goodness! J2 Gold's first game for the season. Watching a Chiefs home game. Les' Mum's Birthday.

Yum, yum, yum....

Bacon Bagel from the Albany Market. Found a yummy Sushi flavour that's my new fave I think it's Tempura Shrimp. Yay Roast meat and Cinnamon Oysters at the party and Miss Wendy's Ginger Crunch. And totally weird a smoked fish alongside the fake rose on every table.

'It was on sale'....

A few awesome scores from various OP shops including a very cool animal bowling set, and the aforementioned trade me scores. A freeview set top box- way cool. We have now banned the kids from watching horrible Will unfriendly mondter cartoons in the morning yipee!

Bugger!

Losing 3 guys in a Helicopter crash on ANZAC Day. Mega bummer.

Hooray!

Getting 67 pages and 3 mini projects done at camp. Getting Will into having Daytime sleeps on his own and in his own bed.

Etc...

Weaning Will completely from breastfeeding when I was at camp. I set up a new blog for Kieran's Rugby Team- Massey J2 Gold. Stayed with Helen when we went to Te Aroha. Got to meet the new Grand-Nephew at Ann's Party. Les' brother came over for the 70th birthday as a surprise.

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.
