Round-Up~ June 2011

On our bookshelf this month....

Tama- Our favourite Black and White books by Tana Hoban and Peter Linenthal. (Often read to him by Will)
Will- Sniff, Snuff, Snap by Lynley Dodd and Commotion in the Ocean are favourites at the moment
Merenia- Saddle Club books and Jacqueline Wilson books.
Kieran- The Power of One.
Les- Night after Night
Me- Next Magazines, Healthy Food Guide and Little Treasures.

Loving on the box....

Survivor, Dr Who, Master Chef Australia, The Good Wife, Nurse Jackie, NZNTM (Go Tyne!), Project Runway, Modern Family, First Life, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Big, and Black Hawk Down. (So much TV! It's terrible- I remember feeling so good with how little we were watching over the summer- I hope we can get back to that soon. I think I could happily miss everything but Grey's, Survivor and Dr Who- LOVE the new series of Dr Who!!!!).

For you...For me?

Balloons, Flowers and Cake for Saskia. New baby gifts for Will. Some pressies to stash away for Les next month. Tama got a blanket and a toy from Raewyn. Scrapbooking Boy stuff from Carolann.

Germs and bugs and botherations....

There were lots of colds and sore throaty type things that dragged on and on. Merenia threw up after some dodgy food and Will had a day with Gastro- which didn't impress his pregnant mum so much. I had some fun pregnancy type stuff- big puffy feet and sore back. The baby had an anomaly in his scan which led to his early arrival by C-section. 

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

A visit to the Aussie Embassy, Lunch at Downtown with Les, a trip to scope lollies at Te Atatu completed with Starbucks! Les took a flying trip to Perth and we enjoyed lunch together at the Airport. Saskia's Birthday spent at Brown's Bay with Balloons, Hot chips and Sushi and a look around the shops.

Yum, yum, yum....

Cadbury Mousse Chocolate- especially the Caramel. Saskia's Birthday Cake. Muffins from the hospital Cafe. Fudge from Carolann and Peanut Brownies from Miss Wendy. Hospital food- doesn't taste so good and the toast is always cold but 3 meals a day delivered to your bed- rocks!

'It was on sale'....

We brought the Wilson's Breadmaker- in their 'we're moving to Perth Garage sale'. 

Bugger!

Another couple of decent sized quakes in Christchurch. Health worries for Tama, An early C-section for me. The High school and Gifted and Talented system in Perth and just generally moving country stress. Flat Batteries!

Hooray!

Les got the job at Bristow. Tama was born. K scored in two different Hockey Games.

Etc...

Dealing with moving- sorting, selling, hucking, chucking- mess. Forms, passport photos and so forth. Kieran got his false tooth. Les resigned from the BOT.
