Day 2

This morning I took the boys to the mall - exciting, I know!
They had a play in the playground and we happened to be there at the same time as one of H's old kindy friends so they had some fun! Then we got some Dunkin' Donut Munchkins for the boys to share and had a little look around a couple of shops.

Then to get some petrol (running on the E!!!) and to the supermarket for some supplies!

Now the J is having a nap and later this afternoon H is going off to Grandma's for a play date.

Day 1

Obviously the day is not over yet but so far we have done a few things!

This morning we hopped in the car and headed over to Milford for a play - the boys had a run around on the beach and picked up and discarded a few shells/rocks/bits of gross seaweed. Joshua decided that lying down on the damp sand was fun.
We went over to the playground (through the long, wet grass) but it was a bit wet and slippery so we headed back to the car.
We went to the shopping centre and went to visit Aunty Jessamine at work where she helped Harrison pick a new book and we got one for Joshua too as he was quite vocal on that!
Then the boys and I headed back to the mall for some ice creams and then it was back home and nap time for Joshua.
Now I should really be doing some housework while J sleeps!

Activities

So basically we have 10 days of holiday when it is just me and the boys at home - so I need at least 10 activities
So far we have:
Butterfly Creek
Maybe some friends to visit
Making sushi
Collages
Bike riding (need to find H's helmet for that!)
Painting
Play Dough
Making and decorating cookies
Collecting shells at the beach

I want to make sure I spend as much time with the boys so I need to tidy the house up well this weekend and try to do a quick clean up every night

Now lets all cross our fingers for some nice weather!!!!

Holidays

So the school holidays are upon us once again and this time I vow to be more organised and do more activities with the kidlets.
I shall be attempting an activity a day with the boys.

I don't quite have all the ideas together yet but will try to update every night with photos and the "activity of the day"

stay tuned!

Dead Fish

(long time, no sea)

It has been many a day since I have been here - sorry!!!!!!

Life is moving along at it's usual pace - pretty soon Mr J will have his second birthday - which is to have a Mickey Mouse theme, should be fun. I have just come back from a 3 night trip to Wellington which was a lot of fun and should be repeated in the future. We are planning a trip to Melbourne with H next year so money should be being saved which reminds me I need to make a new budget.
This is Dylan's last week at TVNZ and now I have to go because it is hard to type whilst being sat on by a cat and a toddler!
