Well semester 2 has started and the workload has cranked right up! I have frantically read Frankenstein in preparation for 2 assignments based on it. Piece of emo fluff lol. I will be able to write a lot about it that's for sure. I have decided to write a letter from the monster to Frankenstein - lots of heart rending emo in it hehe. On wednesday I headed into town for my final SMNZI meeting. yup, I have resigned at last. And I think I made the right decision, looking at my study workload! On thrsday Isabelle dropped M and E over and we made pizza for dinner. Rather delicious ham, tomato and mushroom pizza too. Then I headed over to hers to get her lot into bed and headed home around 9:30ish once she got home from her event. Lucky I did as Chris let me know that we were going on the lash on Saturday or, as he phrased it, going to Prof Ferguson's retirement dinner at Sorrento in the Park. It was a delightful night. Isabelle babysat (yay) and we hiked from the stardome to the restaurant due to lack of parking. Me in my boots and skirt and all haha. Dinner was awesome, I got a bit tipsy heehee and then it went on and on and WE COULDN'T GET OUT. So we got home about 11:30 to be greeted with much relief by a weary Isabelle. I was just grateful that all she'd had to do was sit there and watch tv, read her book and wonder when the flaming heck we were going to come home lol. In child related news Kieran had his secomd eye test on Friday - and his eyesight is perfect. Afterwards we headed off to Playcentre where the boys had an absolute blast. Yesterday we did housework, played with playdough and baked walnut and cranberry cookies. The boys really liked the cookies! I made a pork pie for dinner and threw the remaining mix into the crockpot with some leeks and potato to make soup - yummy! So naturally the boys wouldn't touch it. I costed out the Aussie trip and nearly wept. The airfares alone are horrific. Add on cattery, car hire, passports, petrol and misc exp and it makes one gobsmacked. I sorted the car registration online today for the first time. I entered with a sense of anticipation and wound up shrieking imprecations at the site as it crashed when I finally reached the payment screen. How droll it was. Today was Kieran's kindy photo. I hung around at kindy and escorted him over to the room where they are doing the photos. The photographer said she was happy to do sibling shots so quick as a flash Keekersqueaker and Cameronbear nestled together on the pouf. Very sweet. Afterwards I escorted him back to kindy and then they did their group shot. I should get the proofs within a month. Tomorrow is a trip to the StarDome for Keeks. He is so excited and looking forward to the busride. I just hope he keeps his eyes open this time lol. And tomorrow afternoon we are going into the Early Learning Lab at Akl University so I can "show Cam how to play with a toy, and they can see how he learns". It should be "interesting" lol. Cameron can now count to 13, knows and names all the planets in the solar system and sings the alphabet song while he points to letters of the alphabet - my clever boys :) Our favourite bedtime book at the moment is "How the Kangaroo got its tail" This epic yarn features roos, sugarbag, trickery, spiders, beatings and impalement. Naturally the boys love it. Keeks cuddles his bunny ans teddy while he listens, while Cam smooths a corner of his blankie over my knee and cuddles his Tiggy. Such sweethearts!
