Josh Senior Year Camp

Josh has been on camp this last week, the final EOTC  for the year 6's at Silverstream, before they head off to Intermediate school.  He was away for 3 nights at an outdoor pursuit centre near Levin and looks to have had a great time, despite a wet start to the week.  The had been in the river twice to clean off the mud, so apparently didn't need showers all week either.  They all came back muddy, tired and with bags full of wet smelly clothes.... although strangely quiet a few pairs of underpants came back clean and unused!!!!!!!

All I want for Christmas is my three front teeth.....

Can you spot the difference????  I am sure they wrote this about India................

Followed by some action shots of the boys on the Tramp!

New Shoes......

Purple for Saffron, Blue for India....................  And a picture of Kylie's new puppy Mojo.  A Bichon/poodle cross.  She keeps Molly on her feet when she is round for her play dates!

Saffron the star

Saffron was asked to be one of the team to introduce the school assembly this week...........................

There are 4 short videos.....

Christmas is coming

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................. no more need be said.....

Let there be light

It took just 2.5 hrs to install a new solar tube in the kitchen area, bringing natural light to the room.  It sits very centrally in the house and gets very little natural light.  That all changes, and sun shades are now a must for indoors as well as out doors.  I am sure the only down side will be seeing one of the cats faces peering down at you occasionally!

Fushing in Petone

It was a lovely day Sunday, so we went fushing on Petone Warf.   Mum got dropped up further up the Hutt valley and cycled down to Petone (9.1km) while the kids were busy attempting to catch seaweed!
