I love the holidays....................

Samuel and I have slept in every day until 9am ish one day until 10am (but very late night) as 2 of the week nights he had friends stay over, we have played upwords,scrable and crib, in the first week when weather was cruddy, this week we have been out in the sunshine gardening early morning until 1045 11am ish when it is getting too darn bright/hot (dare I say that), I have caught up on all my jobs pulling beds out and furniture and vacuuming under everything will do edges tomorrow and thurs mow lawns thursday wash sheets and air blankets so all caught up pre going back to school TERM 4 OMG!!! as Sunday we have KAPA HAKA practice all day.

Samuels school finish on Dec 10th they have approx 8 weeks schooling left BUT 1 week is strike interrupted, 1 week is year 9 activities week so in effect only 6 weeks of school then 6 weeks holiday!!! gawd give me school any day! I have been working on my pre tan tan all this week in the sun too, nice

Samuel karate club has just secured from Wellington and Auckland THE RIGHT to hold next NATIONALS Aug 2011 (I know right before the RWC) but we are thrilled we have raised so far $2000 and need to raise another $15000 in 11 months very doable and if we succeed and do well Takahashi may very well say Taupo Nationals ALL the time it makes sense there are Wellington people Auckland people Whanganui people and New Plymouth people Turangi and Taupo we are the most central place.

I love this weather and have scrubbed me BBQ and got it all ready for the onslaught of summer YAY YAY YAY.

Hope everyone is having nice holidays too.

Ciao

  3. No it didn't get lost! It came today.. and I have forgotten to text you to say "thanks".. it did make me laugh!
    Thanks... and sorry for not letting you know it had arrived..... bags, bags, bags... coming out me ears!
    Made another one today and working on one for Emily now (Granddaughter due in Feb) lol! It's going to be the 'Baby Bag'.... can't wait to finish it and see how it looks. It ain't in traditional pink or baby fabric either, it's in apricots and tealy bluey greeny colours... kinda retro... .and the lining fabric is pale purple with a silver speckle... it's GORGEOUS!!!

  4. The bags are $50 plus postage.
    Do you want one the same size as the one I made Rena? It's quite small.
    That size is actually harder to make being so small!
    If you want one small... it would be $25 plus postage.
