Firstly a picture of the boys in their football uniforms, they are LA Galaxy which means they have "Beckham" on the back of their shirts, they think that's pretty cool!



It's been a busy weekend of bithday parties this week with one held at the most perfect spot on the beach which we got to by tram on the Kapiti Coast, it was a fabulous day and we all really enjoyed it. It also had the most amazing amount of driftwood which is very helpful for boys to build stuff...















Cute stories for the week:

This week on the way home we were listening to some music and I asked the boys if they liked it. Tom replied "well it's not really the kind of music I'm into". I asked what kind of music they were "into" and they had a discussion for a while and then told me that they liked two kinds of guitar music, "rock guitar" and "loud guitar".....

I was talking to the boys about speaking to people from other countries and explained to Jack that you have to speak slowly and be pateint to people who don't come from NZ as they might not understand what you are saying easily. He said "I'll remember that when I talk to Grandma cos she's from another country"...I didn't think his accent was quite that strong!

Just about to finish the blog and I asked Jack what we've been doing lately so I can tell people and he said "well we've had a lot of nice food lately"..... one track mind that boy!

Sorry it's been a few weeks since our last post so here's a bit of an update.....

The boys are now the latest football stars in Wellington as they have joined "Little Dribblers" football league. They absolutely love playing and manage to get both real and own goals. They get really stuck in while Adrian and I shout from the sidelines its fab - I'll post some more photos once they have their uniforms next week.










We've been really busy lately with both work and filling our weekends with the last of the summer days out. Adrian and I managed a brilliant night out to the Cuba Street Carnival which was amazing this year, if you want to get a feel for it take a look at this site www.cubastcarnival.co.nz it was a brilliant night out.

We've also been taking the boys to all the school fetes and fairs lately and at one of them Adrian brought a boat, well why not ;) ....they want to start sailing next....

Cute Stories:
Tom was talking to the teachers at creche last week about elephants. One of the teachers is Indian and was telling Tom that she has seen lots of elephants and they are very hairy. Tom said "elephants don't have any hair" and she replied "they do, especially in their ears, they have lots of thick black hair". Tom replied "my dad's got lots of thick black hair on his penis!" (I'm jsut so glad he didn't start that sentence with "my mummy...")

We were in a cafe this week and Tom kept blowing off. Adrian said "Tom can you stop farting?" and Tom replied "sorry dad, it's my bottom that decides".

Lastly a nice pic of the boys with their friend Elyse at the Marsden School Fete - she's the one in the white hat not the crazy looking one at the back.
