Having fun in the sun!!
Sorry guys and gals. Haven't updated for a while. We're now enjoying some summer. The Church camp was on this weekend at Eyre Lodge. Beaut weather. We didn't stay out there but went for the afternoon. The guys have been challenged to a soccer game by Parklands Baptist. They (Kaiapoi Baptist) had a practise out at camp. Quite a few came back with rather red faces. Sadly one of the men lost a necklace that was his late wifes. Most of the people at camp formed a long line of searchers. Sort of felt like I was a CSI agent! It was found but at the swimming pool. Its such a relief to have it found.
We attended the church service out there today. Again a beautiful hot day. After church we went to the Swannanoa Fair. Man! Huge! The girls got to buy a pretty glittery magnet/window thing. Sarah-Jane & Aimee chose a ballet dancer and Emily got a butterfly. All three went on the bouncy castle, Me and Em went on a ride that whirled within a whirl. Dont know what its called but it was fun. Terry went on with Sarah-Jane but she wasn't too keen on it. Aimee and Sarah-jane had a pony ride. They loved it! I actually thought that Aimee would chicken out but no she was a real natural. SJ's face absolutely lit up. Terry took Em to a pirate ship slide. It was worth the sunburn on my shoulders. We had friends that had a stall there so we cruised out with them (and used their sunscreen for the girls).
The girls are doing well in school. Settled into their classes and enjoying the teachers they have this year. Its so amazing to think that Emily is in yr 5. She's getting so grown up. Our friend Rach told us about a writing competition so Em is writing a story. Entry has to be in by the end of March. She's doing really well.
Sarah-Jane is still a real girly girl. Loves her cuddles. She's settling down a lot better now that I sing a song to her at bedtime. What can I say? I'm brilliant!! :-)
Aimee is so full on! She is getting good at making up excuses to not get into bed! But she is so cute. She fell over today and I put a bandaid on, well at bedtime she comes through and does this wee act about her knee hurting. I got up gave her medicine and then sternly said "Now Get To Bed" Of she runs with a wee giggle that I interpret to be "ha ha mum I played you!".
Any way I've probably waffled on a bit too much. That's what happens when I do my blog while I watch CSI and Jericho.
Hope you are all well. Remember to leave a comment so I know that you're alive.
