Kieran got to see a helicopter, had his assessment and a mentor session. Merenia did a full paid night of Umpiring and also had a grading night for Netball.Les too the boys to Lego Club at the Library. We participated in the clean-up Australia day with Mrs Mulligan and a bunch of others. Les took the boys to Fred Jacoby Park. Kieran and Nadya had lunch at Kalamunda. Merenia on an excursion to Walyanga National Park. Will's Physion cancelled on the morning of his appointment so we took our time getting him to back to school and had a nice time. Bike riding at the Ray Owen. Kieran and Nadya had their School Ball and After Party. Merenia had an excursion to Scitech. Les took the boys to Picnic on the Green at school. Will had a sleep over at Roberts and they went to the movie: Home. We played Cards Against Humanity with the big kids. Kieran went to Michaels for a Pasta Night.

For you...For me?
Violin strings for Merenia. Will got a Bionicle from the Radice's. We got a new book called 'Mike I don't like'. Minecraft books for Will and Robert. I won a prize from Scrapbooking at Farral. We collected Dominoes from Woolworths. Easter treats from Ikea. Will brought himself a Bionicle called Tahu. St Patricks day cards for the kids and teachers with Gold Coins. School uniform!!! Will got a 'new' bike. Kieran also got a new bike from Mrs Dowset. We brought Zingo Bingo.
Bugger!
Kieran had a couple of sick days. Tama also came home from Kindy sick one day. NZ lost the Cricket World Cup Final to Australia.
Hooray!
I got the 'Goodbye' Photobook finished and started 'Hello'. A tree fell down at school and caused lots of good fun. We got a new coach for Hockey. We watched the fireworks at the end of the Corymbia Fastival. Kieran made it through to the next stage of ADFA selection. My car got new brake pads! We got a coach for the ones and a new coach for the twos!!
Etc...
Les has made a weekly trip to Fruit Loop. Will lost a tooth. Labour Day Holiday. Tama and I established a weekly Library Habit. The Plumber came and fixed the shower and the handyman came and fixed the sliding door. Hockey AGM. LOTS of Hockey Practice. There were three active cyclones including one that hit Vanuatu and one smaller one that hit WA- despite strong weather warnings it wasn't all that interesting in Perth. Les went to a meeting at Cams. The big kids applied for Tax numbers. We helped out at the Kindy Busy Bee. Robert comes to our place on Tuesdays after school. I went to the Club Conference.
Seen and Heard...
Will's betrothal wish list:
1. His best friend Robert.
2. His other friend Georgia.
3. Katy Perry.
Tama: "C'mon Will lets go outside, Mum is really annoying me. She keeps interrupting"
Me: Sitting silently reading a book.
Will is fake dialling the police due to non-production on Les' part of specified foods for morning tea. He's calling for Les' arrest.
"Hello Police. Leslie Stockley didn't give me my Hash Browns and Chicken fingers. Please arrest him. He lives at.... "
I'm caught by an unknown parent and child calling out to Will across the front of the school the end of a conversation we'd been having in the car: "No he's not dead he's still alive unfortunately and going around killing other people" (Jihadi John)
Tama recounts his dream at Kindy: Zombies, a missing brother, and Les putting someone in the laundry. His Kindy teacher said "He doesn't seem to be worried about the Zombies?" To which I replied no he's more worried about the laundry, zombies are normal at our house".
Drop Will off at school and the office lady asks if I got in trouble yesterday. Turns out Will had gone to the office to find out why they didn't send home a note about Icy-pole (Ice block) day. It was in the newsletter but I forgot... I'm not sure if I like his initiative and determination or if he's 'that kid' at school that always drove me crazy as a teacher.
The photo I am not posting on the internet: Is two little nudie boys jumping on the trampoline in "Cyclone Rain". Will's description makes it sound much more adventurous than it is. 26 degrees= A good summer day in Auckland or a 'storm' in Perth
In the car yesterday listing to Gymbaroo (kids music).
Tama: Gee Mum that Larry really is a happy guy, isn't he?
In the car today listening to the radio (because Gymbaroo makes Will cry, apparently):
Radio Announcer: I was at a night club...
Tama: Night CLUB!! OH MY DODD Mum did you hear that? They have a KNIGHT CLUB!!
Sometimes in the evening I feel a little bit chilly. Then I look at the temperature and I feel ashamed to call myself a New Zealander let alone a Dunedinite. (21 degrees).
Kieran "That sounds like a Dr Who Porn Parody" While playing Cards Against Humanity.
Will talking about Les' Roast Chicken: "It tastes like something that starts with 'S' and ends in 'T'.
