On Saturday we all went to Mosman Park to celebrate Waitangi Day. Over here they have a big celebration and festival for us NZers, with NZ music and food and clothing and rides for the kids and just a lot of kiwis around us lol. My family all came and the Doyle clan joined us too. But we chose not to bring our tent thingy so we were all hot for the day and I ended up getting sunstroke. When we left home it was a bit windy and quite overcast. Drive an hour to our destination and the sky is clear and the sun is beating down.Hey I didnt forget the hats and sunscreens tho lol. The kids had an awesome time, for that we were grateful. Unfortunately mine and Andrews fun took a while to kick in. Within half an hour of arriving I lost our wallet. Wont go into the long distracting story but a few hours later it got returned with everything except my money in it. But at the end of the day, I was just grateful to get my medicare cards, my license and our mastercards back. After a long day, I fell asleep in the car on the way home and was comatose for the rest of the night and ended up being really sunburnt. And the crazy thing is, the kids were like little eveready batteries and kept going and going till late in the night.

Ethans First Day of School

Today was Ethans first day of school. He was sooo excited. When I took him for orientation at the end of last year, he was excited right up untill we got to the class and then he went all clingy. I thought that that would happen again today. No such luck. The teacher let us stay for about ten mins and even then Ethan was telling me to go. I was gutted and admit that I shed a tear sigh. My last child. Off to school. Whatever do I DO WITH MYSELF NOW :( picked him up after and he had had an awesome day
