Music and Mayhem

Comment Published at 03:4003:406 comments6 comments20 Visits20 VisitsReport

The last week has been a blur really, the weeks seem to go particularly fast but I'm sure you all feel like that, right? 

Zane had a music camp this week, he is learning the Cello, so we rock up to a school which is about 20 min drive from us on Wednesday and find out it has been changed to a one day camp from a two day camp.  Oh, but someone forgot to tell me that a note was sent home and was left in a pocket and is probably very clean but unreadable right now, let alone AWOL!!  To top it off i accidentally shut poor Tahnae's fingers in the car door and had him screaming and crying.  It was rather horrid but no damage done, just a scrap knuckle...Phew!

So he arrived 1/2 hour late to school and missed out on Free Dress Day, and god knows what else because we only prepared for the music camp....lol....i had very little sympathy for him that day!  The camp was on today and it seems it was a success and he enjoyed it - thank goodness for small mercies!!

School holidays next week and it should be a busy one as i have family coming from all corners of the globe.  My sister and her crew from Japan and my Dad and Niece from NZ.  Excitement plus!  Families seem to have too many personalities in them but i'm hoping the boys get to hang out with their cousins.

Some of you know David jacked his job in a couple of weeks ago - well he has started a new one this week.  Doing the same thing but has some training in a different software so he seems pleased with that.

We have started to tidy up underneath our house putting up a retaining wall and garden. I've been getting into ebay to try and clear out some junk and get ready to sell our house.  The auction for the house i mentioned last time is on Saturday so i'm hoping to get along to it.  We wont be bidding but i'm keen to see what it reaches to see if what i want in a home is pie in the sky or not..... and as they say tha's all Folks.....

Oh poor you,with all that running around!! I remember that and the note thing. The teachers were always peeved at me but they are so hard to make head or tail of after they have gone through the laundry. How wonderful to have everyone coming in! Must be an exciting time.

Hi Marg,

I think everyone who has boys goes through the washed school note thing!  Lol...ah well....

It's been real nice having everyone here, very busy and going really fast too!  I guess you'll be having a special visitor soon too!

 The dreaded school note.! don't worry about them, if the kids can't give them to you- they miss out. They learn the hard way sometimes.

Sounds very exciting having everyone visit, i'm sure everyone will have a great time.

Yep so far so good!  dad has been good and done the presents with the boys, the obligatory Teddy bear for the baby....very sweet.

Hello hello my lovely friend - you are so busy!  I don't know how you manage with 4 boys in the house!  So, the whanau are going to be here any moment huh?!?  Make the most of it, I am sure it will be very exciting, and don't worry about silly things like routines and how things are meant to be - just go with the flow.  It is going to be a short moment in time that will be over and when everyone is gone, you can regroup and stick the pieces of your brain back together.

Wish I was visiting, Jaydee would love your boys - me too, xox

I have to admit after a trepidous start (on my behalf) it is all good!  Yes, just go with the flow and it has all been very cruisey.
