Once again a few weeks worth sorry we've been really busy the last week with Adrian starting work on the Art's Festival and general mayhem around the place!

Now what have we been doing?

I got a new job which I start mid-March. I will be managing our "Foundation" office who are the people who get money from people who have it, and give it to the University for scholarships or research so once I get my head around it I'll let you know how I get on!

Adrian is madly busy with the festival and has been working an amazing amount of hours, he looks very bleary eyed when we see him. I think he's enjoying it all the same - he loves all that mad pre-show theatre stuff.

The boys and I have been kept really busy in the meantime visiting friends and getting out and about. The boys swimming lessons started again which has been really exciting for them, they are getting so confident in the water now and we can really see them improving. They have great fun but in typical 3 year old boy style are not very good at listening to the teacher but are brilliant at squirting her and making their togs into balloons.

We also went to the Karori Karnival this week which was a big hit. They had the biggest bouncy castle I have ever seen so they went crazy on that for hours before going on the rides. Tom was a bit nervous of the rides at first, he got into the rocket and said he wanted to get out but once it started he was shouting "to the moon"! We also met their friend Ben who went on the tiny ferris wheel with them, they thought it was hilarious to shout "poos" to us parents who couldn't get at them to tell them off - learning a little too quickly I think....

We watched Cinderella (the Disney original) this week so the boys have been coming to me with my old fluffy blue slipper to see if it fits or playing dress ups in pink dresses (I kid you not!). I went to get a film for myself at the same time and Tom said "I'll help you choose one mummy, you like the ones with the kissing pictures on!" - YIP!

Hope you all have a great week, I'll try to put more photos next week we've had camera troubles lately....gggrrrr




Below is pic of the new internal french doors that we installed this week, they are between the front room and what used to be the hallway when it was still there!
