Our new kid

Mr Divine wanted to get a new lawn mower.......

and he did.

Meet Clara-belle.

31/2 weeks of kid cuteness.

But the thing that excites me the most is.......

I now know I will not be that crazy cat lady later on in life (like I thought I would). I will now the the goat governess.

Sick,sick,sick

I haven't been posting as everyone has been sick.

First Boodles got Viral Bronchitis. Which in plain english is a bad cough which meant time off school before the school holidays.

Then Peanut caught Chicken Pox. So we spent all the school holidays at home.

Then Peanut came right and Lulu had the Pox. She had them really bad.

So there goes another 10 days of my life I can't get back.

Today is the first day in about a month that all the kids are back at school or creche.

Then guess what.........? Yep! I'm sick with a tummy bug.

I really hope Im better by tomorrow as we are having a powhiri at school to welcome the new kapa haka teacher.

Pop over to Dees blog if you are a New Zealander and join in the fun.

Its my birthday today so I thought it deserved a theme song. This goes out to all us ladies out there with curves. Enjoy.

I'm flying Jack, Im flying

Need I say more. Think Titanic.

Boy! Does this man crack me up.

We took the kids to play on the pirate playground at Kaiaua.

Even though it was a rainy day, I didn't think I could cope with the bedlam inside. So I thought...take them outside so everyone could hear them. hehe

Kaiaua serves up the best fish and chips known to man.

This is how the locals collect drift wood. With tractors.

During a quick break in the weather we set the kids free on the beach.

The little kids slept on the way home and I think I could do the same.
