This can go in the “kettles for dummies” file – a kettle that changes colour as it heats up/cools down.

From Kenwood

Vic and I became season tickets holders for the Wellington Phoenix, our local footbal team and are also members of the Yellow Fever, the supporters club. It’s a long story but Max picked up one of the chants a couple of weeks ago and this is him chanting “Ricki Herbert’s yellow army!” (Ricki Herbert is the coach)

OK so maybe I’m not done 🙂

In the last six months (almost – has it been that long) I have often thought “I’ll blog that” only to remember that I haven’t kept it up and that I haven’t changed the blogging software that I wanted to change.

Well here we are in our newly found WordPress glory and about to start up again. Hopefully I’ll get Vic to update as well and get everyone interesting once more.

Wish us luck and expect lots of changes as I come to grips with WP………

Just another quick one – there is a BIG update coming soon!!

Many thanks to everyone that sent cards, emails, texts, flowers and pressies for my birthday – you know who you are! I’m having a great day and really looking forward to my weekend away – flying to Auckland, shopping, cocktails and dinnercheap windows 10 key with the fabulous David and Claire (friends from London), a night in a hotel, and being able to sleep in – bliss! And I’m so looking forwardwindowskeysto lunch at Wagamamas – one of the many things I miss from the UK but is now here (although not in Wellington – yet!)

It is Marc’s birthday today. Hardly saw him as he had to work, but we’ve just come home from having a very nicewindows 10 product key meal at Taste in Khandallah this evening – just the two of us which was lovely.

I know I needwindows10explained.com to do an update – so much to tell, so little time! Will try to get one done this weekend 🙂

Max started morning kindy on Monday 23 April so we’re now well into our new routine – now all have to be up, dressed, eaten breakfast and out the door by 8.30am every morning, which means we’ve had to set an alarm in the morning – for the first time since the boys were born! Max has settled in really well and there is now a lot more structure – I guess getting them into more of a routine for starting school. It’s now five mornings a week (instead of three afternoons) so he gets pretty tired by the end of the week which means a very PMP grumpy boy! It’s nice having mornings just with Elliot, and then a couple of hours in the afternoonwindows10explained with Max while Elliot naps – but now I don’t get any free time to myself (unless I can convince Max he also needs a nap in the afternoon – has worked twice so far!)

Other things that have happened:

Do you remember Softy – our monarch butterfly caterpillar? We came home from Max’s first day at kindy to find Softy out of the cocoon and drying his wings. We watched him over the next few hours until he climbed up on top of the fence, flapped his wings a few times and off he flew. We still have Silky and Smoothy in theirWindows 10 Professional OEM Key cocoons, but they should be hatching in the next week or so.

The boys spent a day out and about with Grannie Annie. She took them to the beach at Petone, the park and for a picnic. Max was most excited that he had had two picnics – one at the beach and then another when they got back to Grannie’s house.

They also spent a day out with Grandad and Ngaire, but as it was a public holiday they didn’t get to go on the steam train at the train museum (unfortunately it was closed). Marc and I took James (one of Marc’s ex-colleagues – visiting from Sydney) out for lunch and then on a tour of Wellington. He came back to our house for dinner, and had a great time playing with the boys.

The following weekend was Elliot’s 2nd birthday. We didn’t have a party for him this year but we did go out for brunch and had fish and chips for tea. Thank you to everyone for the lovely presents, and especially those of you overseas who sent him clothes – he got so many that he won’t need to wear too many of Max’s hand-me-downs!

Marc has been away travelling a lot – he had that week in Sydney, has just returned from eight nights away in Las Vegas, is in Auckland today and tomorrow, home all next week, then back to Auckland for two days (looks like that will be happening once a fortnight), then he heads back to Sydney for another four days the following week.

As for me – I’ve been busy taking the boys to kindy, playgroup, music, supermarket shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, kindy and playgroup committees and all those other things mums get to do! Have also spent evenings getting my business up and running. I’ve been sorting and displaying samples, packaging up stock, and now just have to get people to see the products! I seem to be off to a good start – sold 23 cards in two days last week, and have four ‘coffee and card’ events booked in so far for May/June. The products pretty much seem to sell themselves as they are fantastic quality at less than shop prices. Will just have to see how it goes.

That’s it, I’m done. 

After five years of blogging I’ve had enough.  You may have noticed a decided lack of updates recently and that really comes down to the fact that I can’t be arsed.

Vic has a new blog at http://quicklyvickly.blogspot.com/ where she will update the daily goings on within the Cramer family (including Elliot’s second birthday which was today!)

Other than that I guess it’s goodbye for now………

I can’t believe my little baby boy is two today. Two years ago today when he was in such a rush to get here – I was cleaning like a crazy woman all morning, lay down for a restwindows 10 key Online in the afternoon and he kicked so much I couldn’t sleep, my contractions (which I thought were just baby kicks/stretches) weren’t bothering me but Marc was timing them nonetheless, then made me get into the car, took me to hospital and 36 minutesbuy windows 10 key after leaving home and two pushes later Elliot arrived into the world!

Happy Birthday Elliot …
