family life

Utter Randomness...

By PaisleyJade - Monday, January 09, 2012

We're in cruise mode here at the moment... trying to have some family holiday time while also trying to get our house painted.  We always planned to get it done this Summer, but hello... it's pretty hard to paint your house when it's constantly raining!

Trying to paint over the previous colour: ghastly orange

So yeah, just doing the normal Kiwi things...

Like BBQs with family,


Buying up all the kid's school stationery for school this year.  Four kids = mega bucks worth of stationery!

Reading and playing games... family favourite at the moment would have to be Pictureka (cause all 6 of us can play it!).

And also, doing things like wearing gumboots while also wearing togs and jumping over the sprinkler.


Fun times.  Just your normal, everyday Summer here in The Land of the Long White Cloud.

    Despite the rain, it sounds like a fab way to spend your holidays Kristy. Especially bbqs and sprinklers!!
    We are lucky as our school supplies all our stationery - yeehaa! of course we pay for it in our fees but love not having to source it!
    Enjoy your carefree summer days. And here it is heading to 39 C today....eeek...soooo hot.

    Good luck with painting. Home improvement projects aren't always the funniest.
