My One Hundreth Blog!
I had a cold shower on Saturday morning. Jamie rang around the place talking to plumbers, and Dave H from church came around and took a look at the hot water cylinder for us. They decided it was the element that had gone, so Dave replaced that. It took a while for the cylinder to crank up the warm water again but it is working a treat. It is working more efficiently now, so the hot water pressure is really good.
Also on Saturday morning Jamie took Lachie to the playground at The Heads and met up with Jason & Riley. Riley & Lachie had a good time playing on the playground and also sitting together watching the boats coming and going.
Sunday morning was church, Pastor Ian did a great job talking about prayer. After that we had Sarah, Andy & Connor around for lunch. It was a great afternoon.
Lachie had a great morning at Starlights on Monday, he did some painting and I think, some water play. The staff said he was very chatty. Fletcher had to come grocery shopping with me. He was well over it by the end, and had all the customers and staff at New World trying to placate him as he cried his eyes out!

A chilly drizzly day here. It started out nice but has just got colder. I cleaned out my wardrobe earlier this week, and rather foolishly threw out one pair of trackies, and gave the other pair to the op shop. I made an emergency dash this afternoon to K Mart to get another pair, however when I got them home they were the wrong size. Pooh. I had to resort to socks to help keep off the chill.
On a happier note, Lachie and Fletchie were warm as toast in the new jerseys that Grandma made them. How cute is Lachie (he's quite a jersey fan)!! I have yet to capture Fletcher's gorgeousness on the camera.

Wednesday
Just a quick posting before I go and do proper work instead of mucking around on the computer.
Feeling a wee bit tired on it today, Lachlan woke up at 11pm and then again at 12am, Fletcher at 1.30am, and the cat at 5.30am... I'll try and remember to put the cat outside tonight so at least she doesn't do a repeat performance.
Lachie has been to Starlights this morning and had a good time. Me and Fletcher went to work but he wasn't overly happy about being there, so we left early.
I know Sarah is without her digital camera at present, so I will try and get down to 126 and take a picture of Ben and his broken arm.

Easter Weekend
It was a pretty uneventful weekend. Friday Sarah & boys came around for breakfast. Friday afternoon Jamie went up to the Lake with Lachie. I got lonely so he came back again first thing Saturday morning (leaving Lachie with his grandparents). We were going to go to the Ohope Craft Market but decided at the last minute to go shopping in Tauranga instead.
As I mentioned, I wasn't feeling very flash on Sunday so i stayed home from church. Then we went out for lunch at Ohope - the remainder of the afternoon at home.
Jamie went mountain biking yesterday morning with Vaughn, Jason & Isaac over in Rotorua. He had a great time and got use to his new 'hydration backpack'. They picked up Lachie on the way home! Lachie enjoyed his trip in the Martins Plasterers van.
Nine weeks to go until 15 June!

Hi ya. Just had coffee group here this morning. Lachie had fun playing with all the girls! Yesterday was a busy day taking Lachie to Starlights, doing all the grocery shopping & laundry & making dinner. Fortunately I don't have to make dinner tonight as we will just have left overs from last night!!
There was another decent earthquake here this morning at about 5.30am. We've been having a few around here lately.
Best be off to feed Fletcher.

Sunday
We've had another busy Sunday - out to lunch for the third Sunday in a row. Today we were at Sarah & Andy's to celebrate Connor's dedication at church today. Lots of fun.
I've been doing a bit of work from home - trying to squeeze in as much as I can here before I have to go in to work and finish it off. I took Fletchie in to work with me for two hours on Wednesday and he did really well.
We had two days rain this week - Thursday & Friday. I took the boys to Mainly Music on Thursday and managed not to get too wet getting in and out of the car. Also got our first feijoas of the year from Rebecca that day! Lachie thinks they are great. We discovered he'd pulled his chair up to the bench and was eating one, skin and all.
I'm going to sign off now and get my shopping list ready. Thrilling.

Its Been a While..
Saturday night...just been doing some work on the computer, having limited success. Seems like the whole country is on the internet tonight so my connection keeps crapping out. I discovered on a current affairs show last week that NZ's broadband infrastructure is total rubbish. Very frustrating.
Its been a lovely warm couple of days, however, that didn't stop me from going to K Mart this morning and buying some slippers. Lachie also got a pair given to him on Thursday so he was running around in them tonight.
Last Sunday Lachie went to stay with his grandparents (Jamie's Mum & Dad) for two nights! He has stayed away before, but only when we have been somewhere else also. So the house was very quiet. And man, oh man, was life easy! No toddler meals to worry about, no bathtime or bedtime routines to keep. And of course he had a great time too. Who else but a grandparent would spend ONE HOUR with you on the swing?
This week I got Jamie to do some babysitting on Tuesday & Wednesday nights (to make up for his time away last week!). Tuesday I went to a "Book Look" which is like a Tupperware party, only with books, my friend Sarah is a demonstrator. I got some birthday presents for the nephews - how organised! Wednesday night I went out with my coffee group (my Parents Centre one) for coffee & dessert.
Friday night was a Mainly Music fish-n chip night so Jamie came along to that. It was a night to bring along Dads and grandparents etc. It was a nice change from the usual evening routine, and a few friends from church there too!
The boys are great. A wee bit of disruption with the transition of the clocks back an hour last Saturday - a few early nights for Fletcher.
Tracy, I haven't taken too many pictures lately, but here is one I took of Lachie a couple of weeks ago, before he went to Starlights for the morning.
Byee.
