Grass is always greener


We can finally say we have a lawn! After a somewhat dubious winter the grass is finally shooting up all over. This is a particularly nice patch of soft green grass. Tyler was enraptured.

A fragile delivery from Costco


The red sticker on the box says "FRAGILE". I got quite a surprise when I opened the box and these two kids leapt out.

Kiwi Kids love Marmite Sandwiches


Yep, he loves his marmite sammies despite having no teeth.

All in a day

It was quite warm and sunny so both boys were in their new polo shirts.


Tyler helped with washing today. I was thinking about putting him in the stroller, which was in my boot, then I decided to just put him straight in the boot! He was happy.

It was a beautiful day. Noah had his school trip to the nearby zoo. There were giraffes, lions, tigers and even a dolphin show. He was also pleased to see some penguins. He's really into animals right now since he got the Madagascar DVD.

Wonderful Wonderful News

I'm going to be an aunty! (again) I am so happy!

Sunny days Rainy Days

The boys both love reading. Noah is fascinated by this one about ships that Sally and Tore gave him for his birthday. Tyler is a having a go with Richard Scarry. It was a lovely sunny afternoon in Noah's room.

Then the rain returned and it's cold! Little T had to roll the sleeves up on Noah's old Bob The Builder raincoat so he could drop Noah off at kindy this morning.

I like your shoes too

My picture has arrived from England! It's an original gliclee print, which is a new art medium done by computer with fancy printers. It's signed and dated by the artist, Askey. It's a limited edition! I had to buy the frame myself but I pretty happy with the result.

The picture is titled "I like your shoes too"

The View from our Window





Each day as I walk to and from Tyler's room I can't help but love the view of our neighbour's garden. It is so well planned in terms of seasonal interest. It's really simple but so stunning. I love the colours which are mainly just greens.

The Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny left several colourful eggs around the garden. What a lot of fun!



Tyler can sit up by himself (if you get him up he'll stay up)

Sakura Days

A bit of a ladies man!


Noah's class had a final get-together at the local park this past Thursday. As of next week they start a new academic year and will be put in new classes with new teachers. His classmates are equally divided - 16 girls and 14 boys in "Bara Gumi" which means "Rose class".

It was beautiful weather although the wind was icy. There were a few cherry blossums still around which was lovely. All in all it was a really nice afternoon.
