It's Alannah's Turn

Xavier & Marisa are both taking an afternoon nap and Alannah is
outside playing in the sandpit in another 30C weather.

a bit of spot gardening

When Alannah & Marisa went to Gisborne yesterday, Xavier wanted to go
outside after his shower and got down and dirty again.

Not much posts in this blog lately - predominantly posting in Twitter, trying to squeeze in short updates when I can, and the fact that it can be done immediately and on a phone. I suppose it can be done in Facebook too but it never really appeal to me that you have to be a member to see updates. I only joined to grab the userid, that's about it.

For Xavier's birthday, we went to see Thomas the Tank Engine and Puffing Billy. The photo here is the same one in Twitter. We also had a picnic at the beach on his actual birthday and again, the photo here was posted in Twitter. I have to upload a video of him playing the guitar he received from Zio.

Marisa took Alannah last week for a school uniform fitting - omigosh how time flies! She starts prep next year and I have taken time off to capture that moment. Xavier also started swimming lessons and he likes the diving bit a lot.

There are only a few occasions where they sit down, are calm and be quiet. Eating ice cream, having chocolate or cake, and/or watching something they like, in this instance, Alvin and the Chipmunks. Even so, the attention span doesn't last long and they soon seek and find the others.
