Anton has bought a time capsule for his mac as he thought he had lost his computer and all its work a few weeks ago. As a result of trying to install it, he has f&*ked up the settings on my mac so I can't get on the Internet at home. So I am sitting on the floor outside room 17 at Laingholm, with the kids walking the dog round the field, surfing using the school internet. Subsequently I am not able to go on Facebook to update anything. It is blocked at school!
So a quick update on life in NZ
Roo has made the gym team for the second year running! He is more impressed by the fact he has finished Age of Mythology however! The whole family is impressed with the first piece of news. He has finished the cue cards for his presentation at school too. He is a bright little cookie and I am very very proud of him. Oh he gives good cuddles too!
Caitlin...
has unofficially earned her kauri award, which is exceptionally rare ( like never ever done before by a year 7 in the first half of the year). I had a long conversation with her head teacher at book day yesterday who was impressed by her competitive spirit and determination. He is sure she WILL be going to Korea next year!
went to character day as Hercules Poirot- pictures to follow with an internet connection at home! And got a yellow star.
is working on Trash to Flash ( in my sewing room with some friends today... must go and clear the floor!)
Is hormonal but we don't like to talk about it!
Is going to present her Suffragette video to a group of teachers ( and get a green star for her trouble)
Is dragging members of the family to another weeding day ( dad's turn) for half a green star- can you see a pattern emerging here?
Went on a trip to Tree Adventures and challenged herself 20 metres up in the air( and so did her mum!)
I am sure there is lots more but my fingers are getting tired..
