Snowing and Two more sleeps

Just to let everyone know that it is snowing. We currently have two inches of snow outside and it is still falling. If I get photos tomorrow I will post some. But more importantly to say TWO MORE SLEEPS TILL SCRAPCAMP AT QUEENSTOWN RAFLMAO. Till later

Warming up - preparing for snow

Yep, its warm here today and last night it was still 9 or 10 outside. Usually when it is warm like that you know it is going to snow, and when they predict it down to sea level, you can almost guarantee it.
Again this week we have had the dreaded cough, we just can't seem to shake it and the boys had Friday off school. Poor Olly was coughing that much that he has vomited, poor wee mite. So there was no rugby for them yesterday. There was one very unhappy boy, it nearly started world war 3. In the end we all went out for lunch to a new restaurant (to celebrate Lionel and my birthday {yes we are on the same day}), and it was fantastic. To be honnest it is the only time all of us have been to a restaurant together, so it was great. And the food was fantastic too. The kids had a ball and Jake has decided that is what he wants to do for his birthday :)
Now my box of goodies...............I haven't photographed it, but I can confirm that there was a bigbitecropodile in the packaging. And it is absolutely fantastic. There was also some Little yellow bike papers and they are just divine. And that was it really - I think.

Well only four more sleeps till scrapcamp, Fantastic. Then on the downside, there is only one more sleep till the dentist :( . I have a filling which I'm not looking forward to, it is only my 4th ever so I shouldn't complain, but I hate going to the dentist LOL

My computer is back

And it is fantastic. Lionels was Ok but mine is like a comfort blanket IYKWIM. Now I have it set up in the lounge as it is warmer here and I can keep an eye on everyone. Just for winter though.

We had rugby on Saturday and for the first time both kids were at the same place, so was fantastic. Mum and dad came down just for the day to watch them, then they went home that afternoon. Abby actually had her first game as well, they were short and needed more players, so she stuck it out for about 3/4 of the game then wanted to go and play with a friend on the playground LOL. She scored one try so was wrapped with that . Olly well, he scored 5 tries in the first game and the second game he got at least 5. Last week he got the player of the day trophy and thought it was wonderful. Here are some photos of him with it and of Abby ready for her first game.Jake said he enjoyed his game, and he is getting into it more than what he was at the beginning so that is good.

I've just discovered a fantastic blog that you might enjoy. It is Jozzas. Jump on over and have a squizz. Some wonderful cards and a gorgeous BTP.

Till next time, take care

Sick kids.

Well its been a long couple of weeks. Ive had Jake at home all this week and a few days last week. He is on antibiotics for a bronchial infection and has a terrible cough on him. Hopefully he will be back at school next week.

My parcel from Andrea is in the post so I will be able to share with you all the goodies. Hopefully my computer will be back with my programe so that I am able to downsize photos other wise they will be just too big IYKWIM.

My street wise programe is going very well, and boy, I've learnt allot, and am absolutely loving it. Its just getting it all down patt so that in a situation it will come naturally. Lets just hope I don't get into a situation. One of the first things we were taught is, if you are mugged or attacked, don't yell out "help" "stop it", specially if people are near by. Apparently people won't come to that, The lady that was nearly killed in Dunedin at the beginning of the year, they say at least 50 people would of heard here but chose to ignore her. But if she had yelled "FIRE" people would of come running. So don't forget that, yell "FIRE" at the top of your lungs, you will be surprised apparently.

Lionel and the boys have their white belts in Karate and Lionel also has his white belt in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He loves the MMA and says it is very physical, and now comes home and practices on me, luckily I do street wise, so am able to fight him off LOL.

Queensbirthday weekend was a fantastic weekend. Abby and I went to a 4th birthday party Saturday morning then in the afternoon we had friends come and stay a night from Winton. I hadn't seen Her for 7 years, so meeting the kids was fantastic. We've seen her DH a bit with trips he does but just not the kids or his wife. Then on Monday we had more visitors which was fantastic, very unexpected, kind of off the cuff, so we all had a great catch up and laughs.
So not much got done over the weekend.

Well that is it for now, just a quick hello and good bye. till next time.
