Still haven't improved my blogging at all. Am still getting none so gentle reminders that I haven't updated it in ages. I keep thinking I will shut it down cos I never seem to be bothered doing it when I am on here but will keep it up for now, highly probable that it won't be updated frequently and that you have all given up on me LOL.

Well another year is almost 2 months over already, last time I blogged Quinn had just had his party and I am getting ready for Aislinn's 5th birthday party next weekend. Feeling a bit sad that my baby isn't a baby anymore but a big school girl. She had a couple of school visits last week, has 2 this coming week before starting full time the week of her birthday. She is having a tea party for her party, seems to be morphing slightly away from the theme at the moment but what the hell she will be happy with what she has chosen and that is all that matters.

Quinn has settled into school well this year, his teacher from last term was supposed to be leaving but is back this term which I am thrilled about, my kids love her and she is the old fashioned kind of teacher that I like, alot like Mary at Apiti so it is quite familiar for them.

We have started back at the after school activities this week, Aislinn back at ballet, Quinny is going to Keas while she is there which saves him being bored at ballet. Then they both have gymnastics on wednesday so only 2 days of rushing about but that is more than enough.

I am still plodding along on WW trying to get over a 3 month plateau, have lost almost 25kg. Liz and I have been walking most nights up in Fensham reserve which is a bushwalk with losts of hills!! I have even been running - me!! who couldn't hardly walk down her driveway in Apiti!! Am still planning on doing the round the vines in a few weeks and heading up to Apiti for the gutbuster on the 5th of April. Hopefully it won't kill me. The girls tried to talk me into it last year but there was no way I could have managed it then. Pretty sure I can now.

Haven't been doing alot of scrapping so far this year, I did a bit over the holidays but still alot of them are awaiting handsewing still, I think I have some i can add in here. I entered a few pages in the Masterton A&P show and got 1st for the one below of Aislinn and Anita at ballet, 2nd and 3rd prizes as well - he he!! Got a few prizes in the photography section as well, couple of firsts, seconds and thirds in that too. Was quite chuffed with myself. Took the kids to the show yesterday which cost a fortune but they had a great time. I have photos but they are still in the camera,need to clear some memory on this thing before I can download them.

Haven't even been taking many pics of late, last time was when we took the kids down to Welly to the zoo. Have to get back into it before my course starts. Found out yesterday that I won't be doing the wedding in a couple of weeks which I am pissed about not that they decided to go with a pro but that my friend couldn't ring me herself and tell me. Ah well I seem to get that alot.

What else? Has been bloody hot summer here, very dry. Thank god for the pool key for the school pool. I survived the holidays without going bonkers or killing the kids so hopefully that means I can cope with the next lot LOL.

Nothing much else to report really will see what pics I can chuck on here for you.
