Over a week!
Well I have been REALLY slack and not posted in over a week. I keep meaning to but never get around to it.
I started work last week, it went really well but it meant that we were incredibly busy. Either at work or picking up/dropping Zack off. I really missed him last week. He ended up staying overnight 2 nights with the Bailey's. One thing I didn't miss was all the housework...I did have to catch up on it this weekend though which wasn't fun.
On Thursday night we went to see Those Indian Guys perform "From India with Love" it was hilarious, if you can get to see it - its worthwhile!
Here is a photo of Zack and Grandy - Taken on Nan-C's pxt phone.

Almost a week
I know its been AGES and I have been slack. Most of you will know why I haven't really felt up to blogging. We didn't make it to playcentre at all this week. Monday I had to take a mental day off...luckily Mamere was working from home and Zack had lots of fun making her run around after him. Tuesday we spent most of the day with Margaret and the boys. Yesterday Zack had a snotty nose so I decided to keep him home rather than make him worse or spread the bug further. We did get out for a walk in the afternoon with Tracie and Campbell - it turned out to be a beautiful day. We ended up going back to have dinner with them all...it was lovely and the boys had so much fun playing together. It was nice to see the older two boys take Zack under their wings and play/cuddle/fight. Zack was even introduced to their arsenal of weapons, Machine Guns and swords. He wasn't really too sure about what to do with them at first but quickly learnt the idea.
Anyway...just a quick catch up, back with more tomorrow perhaps

Long time no post!
Well it's been a while since I have posted, not because we have been busy but more because I haven't really felt in a blogging mood.
Monday we had playcentre, monday is great cause Tracie and the boys are there. Zack and Campbell played lots together, they seem to get drawn to the same things. We did marble painting and Zack did LOTS of painting. It was a really messy activity for the kids to do...the girls dropped the marble idea all together and had fun with their hands just mixing all the paints together which made for some very wet paintings. Ange and Amber were away for the week and we really missed them, it seems things run so much more smoothly when Ange is there and Amber is always the life of the party encouraging the other kids.
Tuesday morning we went for a walk round Papakura and Zack fell asleep not long after we had gotten going. It did make the journey a little quiet what with his usual gabble and singing. In the afternoon we visited the Bailey's and Zack was a little grumpy having had a sleep in the morning rather than his usual afternoon nap.
Wednesday we had Playcentre, it was windy and rainy and as usual the kids were running a much which is always stressful on the Mums. We came home and Zack had a massive sleep, almost till 6 o'clock which meant he was up a little later than usual.
Yesterday we met Mamere at Manukau for lunch. Before meeting her we did a little shopping for some warm pants for Zack although as usual I couldn't find much to chose from. Unless your going to buy an entire outfit which can't be mixed and matched with other outfits there isnt really much selection (for boys anyway). Zack was a handful too, going on and on about Mamere wanting to know where she was and why I was bothering with boring shopping when there was a fun Mamere to be found! After lunch we went to Margaret's...in his excitement to see Connor, Zack fell asleep in the car. Connor was not impressed and tried to get near Zack to wake him up any chance he got. When Zack finally woke up the boys played really well together and we ended up staying for a YUMMY dinner.
Today the rain is PELTING down which interferes with the digital reception and Zack is NOT impressed that he can't watch the Playhouse Disney channel. Lucky we have recorded a few "Little Einstein" episodes on DVD so he can still get his fix. Thinking about visiting Lex and Saharia today as we haven't seen them in ages...will ring her shortly to arrange. Meanwhile...her are some pics!

Sleep In
Zack stayed at the Bailey's last night, which meant I got to sleep in this morning. Just as well too cause yet another night where I woke up about 2am and didn't get back to sleep until after 5am. Not sure what’s up...I have been walking lots lately and since I started I have been waking with these weird bursts of energy early hours of the morning :(
We have been spending lots of time with Margaret, Connor and Jack lately. Connor and Zack have been playing together, laughing, squealing, running, giggling, jumping, dancing and even tickling each other. It's really cute to watch, Margaret and I are sore from laughing afterwards. They are both real characters who just love to make people laugh. It's really good to see them getting along so well, Zack went through a stage of real jealousy with anything Connor played with or even looked at...it seems giving him time-out and being persistent paid off cause he finally got the message. We still have the odd battle but it's nothing like it was and Zack is very quick to apologise and its obvious that he just got carried away. We had no playcentre again on Friday which was weird, but we still managed to have a jam packed day visiting and walking and doing house work. I think moving to Mondays and Wednesdays was a good move.
I have been approached by Manukau Water to co-ordinate some testing they need done, starting 19th of March...20 hours a week for 6 weeks. I'm still going to keep attending Playcentre with Zack on a Monday and Wednesday, Zack will be with the Bailey's for most of the time that I'm at work though. I hope that it isn't going to be too much....for everyone - me included. But it's only 6 weeks so I'm sure it will be fine...just my usual anxious self thinking too much :)
Today I plan to mow the lawns while Zack is away, vacuum the bits of the house I never get to when Zack is here cause he wants me to stop short of finishing the job and then collect Zack. Yah!
Well I’m off, back later

Another rainy day!
This morning the weather wasn't too bad...We had playcentre and spent the day mostly inside. Zack had a pretty good time, usually he gets a little frustrated at not being able to run around outside. He was a little clingy today, I was mother help which kept me busy in the kitchen for about half an hour. By clean up time he was ready to go and requesting "Home, Home, Home" and trying to push me away from the sink where I was cleaning the play-dough toys, he can be quite persistent. I mostly find it funny but I think a couple of the other mums felt sorry for Zack.
We met up with Tracie and Campbell as they dropped Ronan at playcentre, then we headed up to Botanical Gardens for a walk/run. The boys were very happy to see each other though it was only for about 5 minutes before they were both rugged up in the buggys and then asleep once we started walking.
By the time we finished, Tracie and I were both drenched but felt good due to the exercise. I can't even remember the last time I was out in the rain like that (getting soaked to the bone). It was like being a kid again...it certainly put us in a silly (well sillier than usual) mood.
We have the fire going this afternoon, its lovely! The rain is pelting down outside but we are inside in the warmth, drinking milos! Zack was so cute, sitting on the big leather lazy boy with his little cup of milo and me in the other...everytime I took a sip he would too!
Tomorrow I'm back to the optometrist to pick some glasses and maybe lunch out!
Seeya!
